Diagnostic tarball reference

Reference information about the contents of the diagnostic tarball.

Reference information about the contents of the diagnostic tarball. Read the Diagnostic Tarball Goldmine article in the DataStax Support blogs for highlights and a useful summary of the OpsCenter diagnostic tarball files.

Each cluster diagnostic file contains the following main directories and files:
  • cluster_info.json file
  • nodes directory
  • opscenterd directory

Diagnostic tarball files and directories

The directory structure, files, and their contents vary depending on the cluster and node configurations, and the installed versions of the DataStax Enterprise (DSE) products.

Note: The diagnostic tarball contains several OpsCenter log files, any of which might be listed with related rollover log files. For example, in the nodes/logs/opsagent directory, the agent.log file might also be listed with additional log files for the DataStax Agent, such as agent.log.1, agent.log.2, and so forth.

This convention is true for any OpsCenter log files included in the diagnostic tarball.

The following directories only exist for nodes with Solr or Spark workloads:
  • Solr nodes: /conf/solr/, /logs/solr/, /logs/solr/tomcat/
  • Spark nodes: /conf/spark and /logs/spark

Refer to the following table for links to more details about each file in the diagnostic tarball. Each section provides descriptions and examples.

Main directories and files Description Files Subdirectories
cluster_info.json file Configuration and version information about the cluster. See subdirectories.
  • nodes
  • opscenterd
nodes directory Subdirectories named for each node in the cluster.
opscenterd directory Log files, cluster configuration file, DataStax Agent information, Best Practice Rules configuration, and status for the OpsCenter daemon. clusters: contains the cluster_name.conf file for the cluster. For more details, see Cassandra connection properties.

cluster_info.json

Contains configuration and version information about the cluster, such as: Apache Cassandra version, number of cores, cluster operating system, OpsCenter version and operating system (OS), and so forth.

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/os-info.json
Note: Located under the /nodes/ntp folder but not within it.

The operating system information file os-info.json shows the installed operating system and its version.

Example:

{
        "sub_os" : "CentOS Linux",
        "os_version" : "7.2.1511"
        }

blockdev_report file

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/blockdev_report

Contains a report on various statistics for block devices used by the operating system.

An example:


        RO    RA   SSZ   BSZ   StartSec            Size   Device
        rw   256   512  4096          0     34359738368   /dev/vda
        rw   256   512  4096       2048     34358165504   /dev/vda1

cassandra-cli folder

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/cassandra-cli

The cassandra folder contains the following files:
  • describe_cluster
  • show_keyspaces

The contents of both of these files state: The removal of Thrift in DSE 5.0 also removes support for cassandra-cli

conf folder

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/conf

Configuration directory for all configuration files relevant to a node.

The conf folder contains the following subfolders:
Tip: Use LCM Config Profiles to centrally manage Cassandra, DSE, Spark, and other configuration files.

location.json file

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/conf/location.json
Note: Located under the /nodes/node_folder_name/conf/dse folder but not within it.

This file indicates the location of the dse.yaml and cassandra.yaml files on the node. The location path is also indicative of the installation type.

Example (package installation):
{
          "dse" : "/etc/dse/dse.yaml",
          "cassandra" : "/etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra.yaml"
          }

A tarball installation would indicate installation_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml; and installation_location/resources/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml.

agent folder

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/conf/agent/agentaddress.yaml

The agentaddress.yaml file contains DataStax Agent configuration settings in address.yaml explicitly configured at the node level. Depending on the environment and its configuration, additional files such as log4j.properties could appear in the agent folder.
Note: The DataStax Agent does not use logback for logs; it still uses log4j.
Example agentaddress.yaml:
stomp_interface: 10.200.181.112
          use_ssl: 0
Example log4j.properties:
# Based on the example properties given at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html
          # Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to A1.

cassandra folder

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/conf/cassandra

The cassandra folder contains the following files:
Tip: Use LCM Config Profiles to centrally manage cassandra.yaml and cassandra-env.sh files.
Note: A configuration file explicitly not managed at this time by Lifecycle Manager is commitlog_archiving.properties, which is used for configuring commit log archive and PIT restore for the Backup Service. This file is managed instead from within the Backup Service.
Example excerpt cassandra.yaml:
# Cassandra storage config YAML
          
# NOTE:
#   See http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/StorageConfiguration for
#   full explanations of configuration directives
# /NOTE
          
# The name of the cluster. This is mainly used to prevent machines in

cluster_name: sunshine
          
# This defines the number of tokens randomly assigned to this node on the ring
# The more tokens, relative to other nodes, the larger the proportion of data
# that this node will store. You probably want all nodes to have the same number
# of tokens assuming they have equal hardware capability.
#
# If you leave this unspecified, Cassandra will use the default of 1 token for legacy compatibility,
# and will use the initial_token as described below.
#
# Specifying initial_token will override this setting on the node's initial start,
# on subsequent starts, this setting will apply even if initial token is set.
#
# If you already have a cluster with 1 token per node, and wish to migrate to 
# multiple tokens per node, see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations

nodetool folder

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/nodetool

The set of nodetool commands that OpsCenter executes is predetermined and controlled by the DataStax Agent code. The nodetool operations do not depend on node workload or anything else such as nodetool commands that were executed externally from OpsCenter using the nodetool utility CLI. For more information, see the nodetool utility in the DSE Admin documentation.

The nodetool folder contains the following files:

Examples:

ntp folder

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/ntp

Contains files for NTP (Network Time Protocol) for clock synchronization. Synchronized clocks are critical for consistent data determined by timestamps. The diagnostic tarball runs nptstat and npttime.

The ntp folder contains the following files:
  • ntpstat: Reports the synchronisation state of the NTP daemon running on the local machine. Shows statistics for the NTP synchronization that indicates polling interval and time accuracy lifespan.
  • ntptime: Monitors drift and offset from an NTP server. Shows some information about kernel parameters used by the NTP system.
CAUTION: If clocks are not properly synchronized, or the system does not have nptstat and npttime installed or in the correct path, the Best Practice Rule for clocks out of sync fails. Clock drift can interfere with LCM generating TLS certificates. NTP synchronizes all participating computers to within a few milliseconds of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The rule for UTC checks that clocks across the nodes are in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Example nptstat:
synchronised to NTP server (10.200.175.206) at stratum 1
          time correct to within 24 ms
          polling server every 60 s
Example npttime:
ntp_gettime() returns code 0 (OK)
          time dd33417a.f6cc3dd4  Mon, Aug  14 2017 19:44:55.964, (.964054877),
          maximum error 106330 us, estimated error 100 us, TAI offset 0
          ntp_adjtime() returns code 0 (OK)
          modes 0x0 (),
          offset 81.298 us, frequency -4.200 ppm, interval 1 s,
          maximum error 106330 us, estimated error 100 us,
          status 0x2001 (PLL,NANO),
          time constant 6, precision 0.001 us, tolerance 500 ppm,

os-metrics folder

Path: /nodes/node_folder_name/os-metrics

The os-metrics folder contains the following files:
  • cpu.json
  • disk_space.json
  • disk.json
  • load_avg.json
  • memory.json
Tip: Set up OS metrics dashboard graphs in OpsCenter monitoring. Refer to the OpsCenter metrics reference for information about the available OS metrics. The Node Details dialog in OpsCenter monitoring provides additional information.
Example:
cpu.json
{
  "%user" : 2.5,
  "%nice" : 0.0,
  "%system" : 1.0,
  "%iowait" : 0.0,
  "%steal" : 0.0,
  "%idle" : 96.5

  },
   "used" : {
   "/dev/vda1" : 27.51
  },
   "percentage" : {
   "/dev/vda1" : 92
  }
}
disk.json shows writes per second, reads per second, average request size, and so forth when data is available. This file contains metrics for the performance of I/O-related devices on a system. The output is similar to that when the iostat command is run.

gc.log file

Path: /opscenterd/gc.log.n

The gc logs record garbage collection activity. Look at the logs marked as current first.

The number and maximum size of the GC log files are configurable via JVM command-line parameters. The default (used by the OpsCenter start/stop script) is to allow for no more than 5 log files, each with a maximum size of 1M. The gc logs are named gc.log.0, gc.log.1, gc.log.2, gc.log.3, and gc.log.4.

logback.xml file

Path: /opscenterd/logback.xml

The logback.xml configuration file for OpsCenter. See OpsCenter logback.xml configuration for more details.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
Logback configuration file for OpsCenter.
                
Common options that you may want to change include:
                
file - This is the name and location of the active log file that is currently
being written to. This maps to the log_path property in previous versions
of OpsCenter. If you change this property, you may want to also change
fileNamePattern.
                
fileNamePattern - This is the name, location and pattern of log files after they
exceed the rolling policy. If you change this property, you may want to also
change file.
                
maxIndex - This is the number of rolled log files to keep. This maps to the max_rotate
property in previous versions of OpsCenter. The default value is 10.
                
maxFileSize - This is the file size that will cause the current log file to
roll into an archived file. This maps to the log_length property in previous
versions of OpsCenter. The default is '10MB'.
                
level - This is the minimum logging level that will be included in the log
files along with all higher logging levels. Valid values are TRACE, DEBUG,
INFO, WARN and ERROR. Unlike previous versions of OpsCenter logging, each
logger can have a different level associated with it. Changing the level
property on the <root> element is equivalent to setting the level property
in previous versions of OpsCenter.
                
Additional details on advanced configuration options can be found in the Logback
manual at  http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html.
