SREcon 2016 Performance Checklists for SREs

  1. 1. Performance  Checklists   for  SREs   Brendan Gregg Senior Performance Architect
  2. 2. Performance  Checklists   1.  uptime 2.  dmesg -T | tail 3.  vmstat 1 4.  mpstat -P ALL 1 5.  pidstat 1 6.  iostat -xz 1 7.  free -m 8.  sar -n DEV 1 9.  sar -n TCP,ETCP 1 10.  top per instance: cloud wide: 1.  RPS,  CPU   2.  Volume   6.  Load  Avg   3.  Instances   4.  Scaling   5.  CPU/RPS   7.  Java  Heap   8.  ParNew   9.  Latency   10.  99th  Qle  
  3. 3. Brendan  the  SRE   •  On the Perf Eng team & primary on-call rotation for Core: our central SRE team –  we get paged on SPS dips (starts per second) & more •  In this talk I'll condense some perf engineering into SRE timescales (minutes) using checklists
  4. 4. Performance  Engineering   !=   SRE  Performance   Incident  Response  
  5. 5. Performance  Engineering   •  Aim: best price/performance possible –  Can be endless: continual improvement •  Fixes can take hours, days, weeks, months –  Time to read docs & source code, experiment –  Can take on large projects no single team would staff •  Usually no prior "good" state –  No spot the difference. No starting point. –  Is now "good" or "bad"? Experience/instinct helps •  Solo/team work At Netflix: The Performance Engineering team, with help from developers +3
  6. 6. Performance  Engineering  
  7. 7. Performance  Engineering   stat tools tracers benchmarks documentation source code tuning PMCs profilers flame graphs monitoring dashboards
  8. 8. SRE  Perf  Incident  Response   •  Aim: resolve issue in minutes –  Quick resolution is king. Can scale up, roll back, redirect traffic. –  Must cope under pressure, and at 3am •  Previously was in a "good" state –  Spot the difference with historical graphs •  Get immediate help from all staff –  Must be social •  Reliability & perf issues often related At Netflix, the Core team (5 SREs), with immediate help from developers and performance engineers +1

  12. 12. The  Need  for  Checklists   •  Speed •  Completeness •  A Starting Point •  An Ending Point •  Reliability •  Training Perf checklists have historically been created for perf engineering (hours) not SRE response (minutes) More on checklists: Gawande, A., The Checklist Manifesto. Metropolitan Books, 2008 Boeing  707  Emergency  Checklist  (1969)  
  13. 13. SRE  Checklists  at  NeSlix   •  Some shared docs –  PRE Triage Methodology –  go/triage: a checklist of dashboards •  Most "checklists" are really custom dashboards –  Selected metrics for both reliability and performance •  I maintain my own per-service and per-device checklists
  14. 14. SRE  Performance  Checklists   The following are: •  Cloud performance checklists/dashboards •  SSH/Linux checklists (lowest common denominator) •  Methodologies for deriving cloud/instance checklists Ad Hoc Methodology Checklists Dashboards Including aspirational: what we want to do & build as dashboards
  15. 15. 1.  PRE  Triage  Checklist     Our  iniQal  checklist   NeSlix  specific  
  16. 16. PRE  Triage  Checklist   •  Performance and Reliability Engineering checklist –  Shared doc with a hierarchal checklist with 66 steps total 1.  Initial Impact 1.  record timestamp 2.  quantify: SPS, signups, support calls 3.  check impact: regional or global? 4.  check devices: device specific? 2.  Time Correlations 1.  pretriage dashboard 1.  check for suspect NIWS client: error rates 2.  check for source of error/request rate change 3.  […dashboard specifics…] Confirms, quantifies, & narrows problem. Helps you reason about the cause.

Evaluate Service Health –  perfvitals dashboard –  mogul dependency correlation –  by cluster/asg/node: •  latency: avg, 90 percentile •  request rate •  CPU: utilization, sys/user •  Java heap: GC rate, leaks •  memory •  load average •  thread contention (from Java) •  JVM crashes •  network: tput, sockets •  […] custom dashboards

Draw a functional diagram with the entire data path. Same as Google's "Four Golden Signals" (Latency, Traffic, Errors, Saturation), with instances added due to cloud –  Beyer, B., Jones, C., Petoff, J., Murphy, N. Site Reliability Engineering.

  28. 28. Lots  More  Dashboards   We have countless more, mostly app specific and reliability focused •  Most reliability incidents involve time correlation with a central log system Sometimes, dashboards & monitoring aren't enough.

Other  Analysis  in  60s   •  We need such checklists for: –  Java –  Cassandra –  MySQL –  Nginx –  etc… •  Can follow a methodology: –  Process of elimination –  Workload characterization –  Differential diagnosis –  Some summaries: http://www.brendangregg.com/methodology.html •  Turn checklists into dashboards (many do exist)

Differentials. •  We're working on a d3 version for Vector git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph cd FlameGraph perf record -F 99 -a –g -- sleep 30 perf script | ./stackcollapse-perf.pl |./flamegraph.pl > perf.svg

  65. 65. 11.  USE  Method     A  Methodology  
  66. 66. The  USE  Method   •  For every resource, check: 1.  Utilization 2.  Saturation 3.  Errors •  Definitions: –  Utilization: busy time –  Saturation: queue length or queued time –  Errors: easy to interpret (objective) Used to generate checklists. Starts with the questions, then finds the tools. Resource   UQlizaQon   (%)  X  
  67. 67. USE  Method  for  Hardware   •  For every resource, check: 1.  Utilization 2.  Saturation 3.  Errors •  Including busses & interconnects
  68. 68. (hap://www.brendangregg.com/USEmethod/use-­‐linux.html)  
  69. 69. USE  Method  for  Distributed  Systems   •  Draw a service diagram, and for every service: 1.  Utilization: resource usage (CPU, network) 2.  Saturation: request queueing, timeouts 3.  Errors •  Turn into a dashboard
  70. 70. NeSlix  Vector   •  Real time instance analysis tool –  https://github.com/netflix/vector –  http://techblog.netflix.com/2015/04/introducing-vector-netflixs-on-host.html •  USE method-inspired metrics –  More in development, incl. flame graphs

  73. 73. 12.  Bonus:  External  Factor  Checklist  
  74. 74. External  Factor  Checklist   1.  Sports ball? 2.  Power outage? 3.  Snow storm? 4.  Internet/ISP down? 5.  Vendor firmware update? 6.  Public holiday/celebration? 7.  Chaos Kong? Social media searches (Twitter) often useful –  Can also be NSFW
  75. 75. Take  Aways   •  Checklists are great –  Speed, Completeness, Starting/Ending Point, Training –  Can be ad hoc, or from a methodology (USE method) •  Service dashboards –  Serve as checklists –  Metrics: Load, Errors, Latency, Saturation, Instances •  System dashboards with Linux BPF –  Latency histograms & heatmaps, etc. Free your mind. Please create and share more checklists
