2 Troubleshooting logging and debugging

Typically, when you add debugging to your Ceph configuration, you do so at runtime. You can also add Ceph debug logging to your Ceph configuration file if you are encountering issues when starting your cluster. You may view Ceph log files under /var/log/ceph (the default location).

When debug output slows down your system, the latency can hide race conditions.

Logging is resource intensive. If you are encountering a problem in a specific area of your cluster, enable logging for that area of the cluster. For example, if your OSDs are running fine, but your metadata servers are not, you should start by enabling debug logging for the specific metadata server instance(s) giving you trouble. Enable logging for each subsystem as needed.

Verbose logging can generate over 1GB of data per hour. If your OS disk reaches its capacity, the node will stop working.

If you enable or increase the rate of Ceph logging, ensure that you have sufficient disk space on your OS disk. See 第 2.3 节 “Accelerating log rotation” for details on rotating log files. When your system is running well, remove unnecessary debugging settings to ensure your cluster runs optimally. Logging debug output messages is relatively slow, and a waste of resources when operating your cluster. See 第 2.5 节 “Enable system, log, and debug settings” for details on available settings.

2.1 Accessing configuration settings at runtime

If you would like to see the configuration settings at runtime, you must log in to a host with a running daemon and execute the following:

cephuser@adm > ceph daemon {daemon-name} config show | less

For example:

cephuser@adm > ceph daemon osd.0 config show | less

To activate Ceph’s debugging output (i.e., dout()) at runtime, use the ceph tell command to inject arguments into the runtime configuration:

cephuser@adm > ceph tell {daemon-type}.{daemon id or *} config set {name} {value}

Replace {daemon-type} with one of osd, mon or mds. You may apply the runtime setting to all daemons of a particular type with *, or specify a specific daemon’s ID. For example, to increase debug logging for a ceph-osd daemon named osd.0, execute the following:

cephuser@adm > ceph tell osd.0 config set debug_osd 0/5

The ceph tell command goes through the monitors. If you cannot bind to the monitor, you can make the change by logging into the daemon host using ceph daemon. For example:

cephuser@adm > sudo ceph daemon osd.0 config set debug_osd 0/5

See 第 2.5 节 “Enable system, log, and debug settings” for details on available settings.

2.2 Activating Ceph debugging at boot time

To activate Ceph’s debugging output (i.e., dout()) at boot time, you must add settings to your Ceph configuration file. Subsystems common to each daemon may be set under [global] in your configuration file. Subsystems for particular daemons are set under the daemon section in your configuration file (e.g., [mon], [osd], [mds]). For example:

  [global]
          debug ms = 1/5

  [mon]
          debug mon = 20
          debug paxos = 1/5
          debug auth = 2

  [osd]
          debug osd = 1/5
          debug filestore = 1/5
          debug journal = 1
          debug monc = 5/20

  [mds]
          debug mds = 1
          debug mds balancer = 1

See 第 2.5 节 “Enable system, log, and debug settings” for details.

2.3 Accelerating log rotation

If your OS disk is relatively full, you can accelerate log rotation by modifying the Ceph log rotation file at etc/logrotate.d/ceph. Add a size setting after the rotation frequency to accelerate log rotation (via cronjob) if your logs exceed the size setting. For example, the default setting looks like this:

  rotate 7
  weekly
  compress
  sharedscripts

Modify it by adding a size setting:

  rotate 7
  weekly
  size 500M
  compress
  sharedscripts

Then, start the crontab editor for your user space:

crontab -e

Finally, add an entry to check the etc/logrotate.d/ceph file:

30 * * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/ceph >/dev/null 2><&1

The preceding example checks the etc/logrotate.d/ceph file every 30 minutes.

2.4 Monitoring memory utilization

To monitor the memory utilization of the Ceph processes, pay attention to the top command's VIRT or the output of ps -u ceph -l in the VSZ column. While some fluctuation of memory utilization over time is normal, it should not constantly increase and this will help you pinpoint the problematic process if facing low- or out-of-memory concerns.

2.5 Enable system, log, and debug settings

In most cases, you will enable debug logging output via subsystems.

2.5.1 Enabling Ceph subsystems

Each subsystem has a logging level for its output logs, and for its logs in-memory. You may set different values for each of these subsystems by setting a log file level and a memory level for debug logging. Ceph’s logging levels operate on a scale of 1 to 20, where 1 is terse and 20 is verbose 1. In general, the logs in-memory are not sent to the output log unless:

  • a fatal signal is raised or

  • an assert in source code is triggered or

  • upon request.

A debug logging setting can take a single value for the log level and the memory level, which sets them both as the same value. For example, if you specify debug ms = 5, Ceph will treat it as a log level and a memory level of 5. You may also specify them separately. The first setting is the log level, and the second setting is the memory level. You must separate them with a forward slash (/). For example, if you want to set the ms subsystem’s debug logging level to 1 and its memory level to 5, you would specify it as debug ms = 1/5. For example:

debug {subsystem} = {log-level}/{memory-level}
#for example
debug mds balancer = 1/20

The following table provides a list of Ceph subsystems and their default log and memory levels. Once you complete your logging efforts, restore the subsystems to their default level or to a level suitable for normal operations.

2.6 Logging kernel RBD and CephFS clients

The RBD and CephFS kernel clients provide means to enable runtime logging that allow low-level debugging. However, the performance penalty may be high, which is why dynamic debugging is turned off by default. Also, analysing these logs requires comparing them with the kernel source code.

For example, to see the debug messages related with CephFS snapshot handling, you could try the following:

root # echo "file fs/ceph/snap.c +pf" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

The kernel logs would now include any debug messages in file fs/ceph/snap.c. In order to disable dynamic debugging:

root # echo "file fs/ceph/snap.c -p" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

2.7 Per-service and per-daemon events

In order to simplify debugging failed daemon deployments, cephadm stores events on a per-service and per-daemon basis. To view the list of events for a specific service, run the following example command:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch ls --service_name=alertmanager --format yaml
  service_type: alertmanager
  service_name: alertmanager
  placement:
    hosts:
    - unknown_host
[...]
  events:
  - 2021-02-01T08:58:02.741162 service:alertmanager [INFO] "service was created"
  - 2021-02-01T12:09:25.264584 service:alertmanager [ERROR] "Failed to apply: \
   Cannot place <AlertManagerSpec for service_name=alertmanager> on \
   unknown_host: Unknown hosts"'

As opposed to a specific service, to view the list of events for a specific daemon, for example, run the following command:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch ceph --service-type mds \
 --daemon-id=hostname.ppdhsz --format yaml
  daemon_type: mds
  daemon_id: cephfs.hostname.ppdhsz
  hostname: hostname
[...]
  events:
  - 2021-02-01T08:59:43.845866 daemon:mds.cephfs.hostname.ppdhsz [INFO] \
   "Reconfigured mds.cephfs.hostname.ppdhsz on host 'hostname'"
