Q & A

[agent] Error terminating process: operation not permitted

Causation: 在 telegraf.conf 設定裡，有個 agent 排程啟動時，因為 timeout 設定時間已到，而 agent 還未完成工作，telegraf 嘗試終止該 agent 失敗。

Solution: 解決方法一：如果無所謂終止 agent 失敗的行為，可以將 timeout 時間調大，就可以避免或降低錯誤的發生。

解決方法二：如果想利用 timeout 的設定來避免 agent 可能因為某些異常造成大量程序累積，進而影響系統的運作。

分析 telegraf 無法終止 agent 的原因，排除異常後，在依需要調整 timeout 時間。

以筆者案例，agent 使用 sudo 指令收集 db2 的效能指標，指令如下

[[inputs.exec]]
    interval = "1h"
    commands = ["sudo -u db2mon sh -c '/home/db2mon/bin/collect_db2x1h.sh -d centdb -a b_centdb'"]
    timeout = "5s"
    data_format = "influx"

由於 telegraf 無法 kill 用 sudo 執行的其他帳號下的程序，解決方法是修改指令 collect_db2x1h.sh，可以讓 telegraf 不用 sudo 就可以執行。 

[[inputs.exec]]
    interval = "1h"
    commands = ["/home/db2mon/bin/collect_db2x1h.sh -d centdb -a b_centdb"]
    timeout = "15s"
    data_format = "influx"

驗證一下，timeout 時間到達能否成功終止 agent，如果有，會顯示下方訊息：

[inputs.exec] Error in plugin: exec: command timed out for command '/home/db2mon/bin/collect_db2x1h.sh -d centdb -a b_centdb'

沒問題後，再調整合適的 timeout。

[inputs.exec] Error in plugin: metric parse error: expected tag at 7:20:

Causation: 輸出的 Influxdata 資料格式不正確

Solution: 檢查第 7 筆的第 20 個字元。Influxdada 格式為

measurement, tag-key1=tag-value1,tag-key2=tag-value2 field-key1=field-value1,field-key2=field-value2,....

  • tag-key type: string
  • tag-value type: string
    NOTE: 雙引號不是必要的
  • field-key type: string
  • field-value type: Float | Integer | UInteger | String | Boolean
    NOTE: 如果是 string 必須用雙引號
max-series-per-database limit exceeded: (1000000)

 Causation: 寫入的資料庫已經達到設定的上限總筆數 1000000。

在 InfluxDB CLI 執行這段，檢查目前資料庫的筆數

show series cardinality on <db-name>

Solution: 調整 InfluxDB 主機上的設定，編輯 /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf 預設是 1000000

# max-series-per-database = 1000000
max-series-per-database = 2000000

重啟 InfluxDB
