Pipeline monitoring pipeline-monitoring

The pipelined status web service gives information on the status of the pipelined process.

It can be accessed manually using a browser or automatically with a monitoring application.

It’s in REST format, which is described below.

Indicators indicators

This section lists the indicators in the status web service.

Recommended indicators to monitor are highlighted.

  • Consumer: name of the client pulling the triggers. Configured in the pipeline option.

  • http-request

    • last-alive-ms-ago: time in ms since a connection check was made.
    • last-failed-cnx-ms-ago: time in ms since the last time the connection check failed.
    • pipeline-host: name of the host where the pipeline data is pulled from.
  • pointer

    • current-offsets: value of the pointer into the pipeline, per child thread.
    • last-flush-ms-ago: time in ms since a batch of triggers was retrieved.
    • next-offsets-flush: time to wait until the next batch, when finished.
    • processed-since-last-flush: number of triggers processed in the last batch.
  • routing

    • triggers: list of triggers retrieved. Configured in the pipelined option.
  • stats

    • average-pointer-flush-time-ms: average processing time for one batch of triggers.
    • average-trigger-processing-time-ms: average time spent parsing the triggers data.
    • bytes-read: number of bytes read from the queue since the process was started.
    • current-messages: current number of pending messages that have been pulled from the queue and are awaiting processing. This indicator should be close to zero.
    • current-retries: current number of messages that have failed processing and are awaiting retry.
    • peak-messages: maximum number of pending messages the process has been handling since it was started.
    • pointer-flushes: number of batches of messages processed since the start.
    • routing-JS-custom: number of messages that were processed by the custom JS.
    • trigger-discarded: number of messages that were discarded after too many retries due to processing errors.
    • trigger-processed: number of messages that were processed without an error.
    • trigger-received: number of messages received from the queue.

These stats are displayed per processing thread.

  • average-trigger-processing-time-ms: average time spent parsing the triggers data.

  • is-JS-processor: value “1” if this thread uses the custom JS.

  • trigger-discarded: number of messages that were discarded after too many retries due to processing errors. This indicator should be zero.

  • trigger-failures: number of processing errors in the JS. This indicator should be zero.

  • trigger-received: number of messages received from the queue.

  • Settings: they are set in the config files.

    • flush-pointer-msg-count: number of messages in a batch.
    • flush-pointer-period-ms: time between two batches, in milliseconds.
    • processing-threads-JS: number of processing threads running the custom JS.
    • retry-period-ms: time between two retries when a processing error occurs.
    • retry-validity-duration-ms: duration from the time processing is retried until the message is discarded.
    • Pipeline messages Report
