Re: [monit] Quad Core Monitoring

Can you tell me what the syntax is for monitoring a particular cpu core?

Currently I have something like the following example:

if cpu usage (user) > 70% then alert

How do I specify a particular core?  Using "if cpu0 usage (user) > 70% then alert" gave me "/etc/monitrc:111: Error: syntax error 'cpu0'"

Thanks,

Monit can monitor "unlimited" number of CPUs ... each core is counted as one CPU (regardless in which socket it sits). CPU usage of multicore and singlecore machines whether single CPU or SMP can be monitored using existing monit capabilities.

Regarding mysql ... it can have several threads and each of these threads can be scheduled on different core/CPU and run in parallel. You never know on which core it runs unless you use resource management - for example Solaris allows you to bind the specific applications to specific resource pools which can define CPU boundary. Without the resource management, the process can be switched by the scheduler freely (including thread migrations).

Thanks, but I don't think that would work.  If all four processors were above 25%, it would give a false positive.  Am I correct in thinking that monit doesn't actually have the capability to monitor more than one cpu?  Maybe this should be a wishlist item?

   Monit is reporting the CPU usage as total (corresponding to first
   example of top).

   If the application will get 100% of one core on 4-core system, it's
   CPU usage should be reported by monit is 25% (since 4 * 25% = 100%).

   You can thus use rule like this:

    if cpu usage > 25% then restart

       We have an issue were mysqld hogs up 100% of one of our cpu

       For an example of what I am talking about, top normally shows
       only one cpu but if you press '1' it will show all the cpus.
       (normal top)
       top - 18:13:11 up 10 days, 21:59,  1 user,  load average: 1.56,
       1.81, 2.08
       Tasks: 186 total,   5 running, 181 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
       Cpu(s): 31.6% us,  7.6% sy,  0.0% ni, 60.8% id,  0.0% wa,  0.0%
       hi,  0.0% si

       (top after pressing '1')
       top - 18:13:54 up 10 days, 22:00,  1 user,  load average: 1.73,
       1.81, 2.07
       Tasks: 185 total,   3 running, 182 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
       Cpu0  : 29.4% us,  5.9% sy,  0.0% ni, 63.9% id,  0.7% wa,  0.0%
       hi,  0.0% si
       Cpu1  : 27.9% us,  5.6% sy,  0.0% ni, 65.5% id,  1.0% wa,  0.0%
       hi,  0.0% si
       Cpu2  : 23.1% us,  5.7% sy,  0.0% ni, 70.6% id,  0.7% wa,  0.0%
       hi,  0.0% si
       Cpu3  : 25.3% us,  6.2% sy,  0.0% ni, 67.5% id,  1.0% wa,  0.0%
       hi,  0.0% si

       (sample when mysqld is hogging cpu time)
       top - 18:13:54 up 10 days, 22:00,  1 user,  load average: 1.73,
       1.81, 2.07
       Tasks: 185 total,   3 running, 182 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
       Cpu0  : 100 % us,  5.9% sy,  0.0% ni, 63.9% id,  0.7% wa,  0.0%
       hi,  0.0% si
       Cpu1  : 7.9% us,  5.6% sy,  0.0% ni, 65.5% id,  1.0% wa,  0.0%
       hi,  0.0% si
       Cpu2  : 3.1% us,  5.7% sy,  0.0% ni, 70.6% id,  0.7% wa,  0.0%
       hi,  0.0% si
       Cpu3  : 5.3% us,  6.2% sy,  0.0% ni, 67.5% id,  1.0% wa,  0.0%
       hi,  0.0% si

       So, how do I get monit to restart mysqld when just one cpu is
       pegged at 100%?  It's not always Cpu0, it could be any of them.

       Thanks,
