kubelet から提供される cAdvisor メトリクスについて

Last updated at Posted at 2022-12-08

この記事は Kubernetes v1.25.4 と cAdvisor v0.46.0 の仕様に基づいて執筆しています。

kubelet から提供される cAdvisor メトリクス

公式ドキュメント に記載されているとおり、Kubernetes では kubelet バイナリに cAdvisor が統合されており、cAdvisor によって提供されるコンテナ関連のメトリクスを /metrics/cadvisor エンドポイントから収集できるようになっています。しかし、デフォルトで全てのメトリクスが収集できるわけではありません。

cAdvisor から提供される各メトリクスは option parameter で カテゴライズ されており、cAdvisor バイナリやライブラリを使用する際に公開したいメトリクスのカテゴリーを指定する仕様になっています。カテゴリーの一覧は こちら から参照できます。

cAdvisor では「カテゴリー」という文言は出てきませんが、わかりやすさを考慮して以降もカテゴリーと呼称しています。

この前提を踏まえて kubelet の 実装 を見てみると、 以下のカテゴリーのメトリクスのみ が提供される仕様であることがわかります。

  • memory
  • cpuLoad
  • diskIO
  • network
  • process
  • oom_event
  • 他カテゴリーのメトリクスを収集する方法

    cAdvisor を単体で使用する際は --disable_metrics フラグと --enable_metrics フラグで option parameter を指定することで収集したいメトリクスを制御できますが、kubelet は cAdvisor のオプションを任意に設定できる仕様になっていません。

    正確に言うと、cAdvisor ライブラリは設定の一部を CLI フラグを直接参照する実装になっているので
    1 ドキュメント には記載されていませんが、kubelet を介して cAdvisor フラグを渡すことは可能になっています。

    この仕様はバグで Kubernetes v1.10 から非推奨なフラグにされて廃止が予定されているので、使うことは避けた方が良いでしょう。詳細は Kubernetes 1.10: 既知の問題 (Known Issues) と廃止予定の機能 (Deprecations) をご参照ください。

    結論ですが、kubelet に実装されていないカテゴリーのメトリクスを収集したい場合は、cAdvisor を DaemonSet で起動する対応が必要となります。詳細は https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/60279#issuecomment-419459174 をご参照ください。

    cpuLoad カテゴリーのメトリクスを収集する際の注意点

    以下の cpuLoad カテゴリーのメトリクスは、先述の通り kubelet で提供される実装になっています。

  • container_cpu_load_average_10s
  • container_tasks_state
  • しかし、cAdvisor ライブラリでは --enable_load_reader フラグを指定しないと上記のメトリクスは収集できない仕様なので、メトリクス自体は公開されるが値が常に0という状態になります。

    それらのメトリクスが収集できないにも関わらず kubelet に実装されているのかは謎ですが、おそらく非推奨といえど --enable_load_reader フラグ (kubelet に渡す際は --enable-load-reader のように kebab case であることに注意) を指定することは可能ではあるので、一応残しているといった雰囲気でしょうか。正確な意図を知りたく Kubernetes の Community Forums に質問を投げたので、興味がある方はウォッチしてもらえればと思います。

    こちらも kubelet とは別で DaemonSet で cAdvisor を稼働させることが解決方法となりますが、他コンテナのロードアベレージを取得するために、ホストのネットワークで稼働させる必要があることに注意してください。詳細は https://github.com/google/cadvisor/issues/2529 をご参照ください。

    この記事では、kubelet から提供される cAdvisor メトリクスの仕様をまとめました。関連した話ですが、cAdvisor を廃止してメトリクス収集を CRI 実装に移行する KEP も出ているので、興味がある方はチェックしてみると良いかもしれません。
