Add metrics exposing extended md RAID info (prometheus#958)
Add metrics that expose more information about MD RAID devices and disks: - the RAID level in use - the RAID set that a disk belongs to This allows for things like alert on unusually high I/O utilisation for a disk compared to other disks in the same RAID set, which usually means the disk is failing, and for comparing write/read latency across RAID sets. Output looks like: node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-0", md_device="md1", md_set="A"} 1 node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-3", md_device="md1", md_set="B"} 1 node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-2", md_device="md1", md_set="A"} 1 node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-1", md_device="md1", md_set="B"} 1 node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-4", md_device="md1", md_set="A"} 1 node_md_disk_info{disk_device="/dev/dm-5", md_device="md1", md_set="B"} 1 node_md_info{md_device="md1", md_name="foo", raid_level="10", md_metadata_version="1.2"} 1 The `node_md_info` metric, which gives additional information about the RAID array, is intentionally separate to avoid adding all of those labels to each disk. If you need to query using the labels contained in `node_md_info`, you can do that using PromQL: https://www.robustperception.io/how-to-have-labels-for-machine-roles/ I looked at adding the array UUID, but there's no sysfs entry for it and I'm not sure there's a strong use case for it. This patch to add a sysfs entry for the UUID was apparently not accepted: https://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg40667.html Add these metrics as a textfile script rather than adding them to the Go 'md' module as they're perhaps less commonly useful. If lots of people find them useful, we can later rewrite this in Go. Signed-off-by: Matt Bostock <[email protected]>
