Node Connectivity Monitoring
Rules for the Hostagent
The Prometheus agent is configured to report numerous node-based metrics. Below is the YAML-based rule set that Catapult uses, including alert names, expression, timeframe, annotations which contain the summary and description of the notification as well as the SaaS management plane and hostname.
bash-5.0# cat resmgr.yml
groups:
- name: Host Availability Alerts
rules:
# du_sidekick_last_checkin_seconds will be the time in seconds since a host checked in via sidekick
# or -1 if the host is not reported by sidekick at all. The latter case may occur if
# sidekick has restarted and a host hasn't connected since.
- expr: >-2
(
sum by (host_id,host_name) (
time() - sidekick_host_last_heartbeat_time{job="sidekickserver"} / 1000
)
)
OR
ignoring(host_name) (
sum by (host_id,host_name) (
(resmgr_host_up{job="resmgr"} == 0) - 1
)
)
record: du_sidekick_last_checkin_seconds
- name: Hosts disconnected
rules:
# resmgr says it's been down for at least 10m, sidekick says still reporting
# NOTE: the `for` delay _must_ exceeed the cutoff (currently 600 seconds) + the scrape
# period (1m) or else both this and host-down will fire off simultaneously
- alert: host-disconnected
expr: >-2
sum by (du, host_id, host_name) (du_sidekick_last_checkin_seconds < 600) AND
ON(host_id) resmgr_host_up{job="resmgr"} == 0
for: 15m
annotations:
summary: host-disconnected
description: "{{ $labels.host_name }} disconnected from control plane {{ $labels.du }} for more than 10 minutes"
du: "{{ $labels.du }}"
host_name: "{{ $labels.host_name }}"
# resmgr says it's been down for at least 10m, sidekick "agrees"
- alert: host-down
expr: >-2
sum by (du, host_id, host_name) (du_sidekick_last_checkin_seconds >= 600 OR du_sidekick_last_checkin_seconds == -1) AND
ON(host_id) resmgr_host_up{job="resmgr"} == 0
for: 10m
annotations:
summary: host-down
description: "{{ $labels.host_name }} down {{ $labels.du }} for more than 10 minutes"
du: "{{ $labels.du }}"
host_name: "{{ $labels.host_name }}"
