rAdvisor

build/test security License: MIT Latest release FOSSA Status

Monitors & collects system resource utilization on Linux for Docker containers and Kubernetes pods with fine granularity and low overhead, emitting resource utilization logs in CSVY (csv + yaml) format. Originally, developed in Rust as a custom tool to help detect and analyze millibottlenecks in containerized online systems, rAdvisor runs by polling the target provider (either the local Docker daemon or the Kubernetes API server) every 1 second to get a list of active, running containers/pods. From this list, rAdvisor runs a collection thread every 50ms to get resource utilization data for each active target using Linux cgroups, outputting the resultant logs in /var/log/radvisor/stats.

🖨️ Example Output

Note: filenames correspond to the ID/UID of the container/pod, with the collector initialization timestamp appended at the end.

📜 Runtime Options

Many of the specific details of collection can be controlled via the command line interface. At the moment, this includes collection/polling intervals and output directory. To view information on the available CLI options, run radvisor help:

$ radvisor help
radvisor 1.3.1
Joseph Azevedo <joseph.az@gatech.edu>, Bhanu Garg <bgarg6@gatech.edu>
Monitors container resource utilization with high granularity and low overhead

USAGE:
    radvisor [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND>

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -q, --quiet      Whether to run in quiet mode (minimal output)
    -v, --verbose    Whether to run in verbose mode (maximum output)
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -c, --color <color-mode>    Color display mode for stdout/stderr output [default: auto]

SUBCOMMANDS:
    help    Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
    run     Runs a collection thread that writes resource statistics to output CSV files

📇 Subcommands

radvisor run

$ radvisor run <provider>

The main subcommand of rAdvisor is run, which additionally requires the target provider (Docker or Kubernetes) to use to discover collection targets. For example, to run rAdvisor and collect resource utilization statistics on Docker containers each 40ms, the following command would be used:

$ radvisor run docker -i 40ms
Initializing Docker API provider
Beginning statistics collection
Identified cgroupfs as cgroup driver

☑️ Supported Operating Systems

At the moment, rAdvisor only supports Linux (due to its heavy reliance on cgroups), though there is a tracking issue for extending its functionality to work with Window's own first-party containerization API, HCS: radvisor/issues/#3.

🏗️ Building

🐋 Using Docker

To build rAdvisor using Docker, run the following command (needs to have docker installed and running, and likely needs to be run as root):

$ sudo make

For the Docker build method, the Rust stable image is used (rust) to run a Docker container with the necessary toolchains pre-installed.

💽 Directly From Source

To build rAdvisor from source, Rust stable is used. We recommend using rustup to install the Rust toolchain.

Now, in the cloned repository root, run make compile to generate a release-grade binary at ./target/release/radvisor. This build process may take up to ten minutes.

$ make compile
cargo build --release --bins \
--target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
   Compiling libc v0.2.68
   Compiling autocfg v1.0.0
   Compiling cfg-if v0.1.10
   ...
   Compiling shiplift v0.6.0
   Compiling radvisor v1.3.1 (/home/jazev/dev/radvisor)
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 4m 52s
$ ./radvisor --version
