Add a metric to collect the number of background routines #963
Conversation
WalkthroughThe recent changes enhance the tracking of background goroutines by modifying key methods to accept metrics and task type parameters. This allows for improved monitoring of background tasks via Prometheus, facilitating better management and observability of worker counts. Such updates ensure that metrics accurately reflect the state of goroutines, thus supporting proactive performance management. Changes

This PR adds a metric to collect the number of background routines. Prometheus provides its own thread-safe Gauge metric, which can be used to accurately collect the number of concurrent goroutines. Also, although the only task running in the background so far is PushPull, this commit implements the AttachGoroutine() method to take a string called taskType as a parameter, since it seems to be focused on reusability.

@kokodak We have deployed this feature with Grafana panel added.

@krapie This was happening to me locally, but when I forcibly increased the lifetime of the goroutine, I was able to observe it normally. How about changing the metric from Gauge to Counter, and changing it to observe the gradient of the number of goroutines increasing in time? |

@kokodak Good point! Looks like the lifespan of the goroutine is too short to collect.

…m#963) This PR adds a metric to collect the number of background routines.

What this PR does / why we need it:
This PR adds a metric to collect the number of goroutines attached to a specific Background task.
Prometheus provides its own thread-safe Gauge metric, which can be used to accurately collect the number of concurrent goroutines.
Also, although the only task running in the background so far is PushPull, I implemented the
AttachGoroutine()method to take a string calledtaskTypeas a parameter, since it seems to be focused on reusability.In my local Grafana, I observed the metrics with a simple promQL query like the one below.
The expected effect is that it will be easy to identify which background tasks are bottlenecking and when. For example, during the logic of saving snapshots, the number of observed goroutines may temporarily increase when the DB bottleneck causes each goroutine to have a longer lifecycle. This kind of analysis would help us prevent such issues.
Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #386
Special notes for your reviewer:
If you think there's a better metric or promQL to get more meaningful data, please feel free to comment.
