Host resource usage

To check the CPU, memory, and disk usage on a Linux machine, you can run the following command.

$ sudo echo -n "CPUs: ";cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l; echo -n "Mem: ";free -h | grep Mem | tr -s " " | cut -d" " -f 2; echo -n "Disk: "; df -h / | grep -v Filesystem; 
CPUs: 72
Mem: 251G
Disk: /dev/sda2       160G   13G  148G   8% /
10.1.12.104
CPUs: 88
Mem: 251G
Disk: /dev/sda2       208G   22G  187G  11% /
10.1.12.105
CPUs: 88
Mem: 251G
Disk: /dev/sda2       208G  5.1G  203G   3% /

Generally, common tools like top or iostat may be useful.

Auditd

If top reports high CPU usage for the auditd process, it may have some rules auditing some system calls frequently used YugabyteDB which can significantly affect performance. You can try temporarily disabling audit by running (on each YugabyteDB node).

$ auditctl -e 0

and check if this improves performance.

To re-enable it afterwards, run:

$ auditctl -e 1

YugabyteDB processes state

YugabyteDB provides web endpoints where the current state of each process is aggregated. This includes logs, flags as well as memory, disk, and network usage metrics. Additionally, it provides dedicated metrics endpoints for YCQL and, respectively, Redis requests.

Description URL
Master Web Page <node-ip>:7000
TServer Web Page <node-ip>:9000
Redis Metrics <node-ip>:11000/metrics
YCQL Metrics <node-ip>:12000/metrics

Note

When running yb-ctl locally with default values, three local IP addresses will be created: 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, and 127.0.0.3, one for each YugabyteDB node.
