SBM : Storage Benchmark Monitor

Api SBM Dockers

The SBM(Storage Benchmark Monitor) combines the performance results supplied from multiple SBK instances. The SBM is the GRPC Server. Multiple SBK instances can log the performance results to a single SBM Server. The SBM determines the cumulative throughput and latency percentile values. Each SBK instance reports all the latency values in bulk and SBM integrates all latency records and determines the performance values for the whole SBK cluster (multi SBK instances). The SBM is useful if you want to stress the storage server / Storage cluster with multiple storage clients (SBK instances) and analyse the throughput and latency percentiles for the entire storage cluster/server. SBM logs the integrated results to standard output device/logger and to the grafana through prometheus metrics. SBM is also called as SBK-RAM: Results Aggregation monitor.

Build SBM

SBM is a submodule/project of the SBK framework. If you build SBK, it builds the SBM server too.

Note that option -sbm is used to supply the SBM host ; In the above example, its localhost and default port is 9717.

SBM Grafana Dashboards

when you run the SBM, by default it starts the http server and all the output benchmark data is directed to the default port number: 9719 and metrics context. If you want to change the port number and context, you can use the command line argument -context to change the same. you have to run the prometheus monitoring system (server [default port number is 9090] cum client) which pulls/fetches the benchmark data from the local/remote http server. If you want to include additional SBM nodes/instances to fetch the performance data or from port number other than 9719, you need to extend or update sbm-targets.json In case, if you are fetching metrics/benchmark data from remote http server , or from the context other than metrics then you need to change the default prometheus server configuration too. Run the grafana server (cum a client) to fetch the benchmark data from prometheus. For example, if you are running a local grafana server then by default it fetches the data from the prometheus server at the local port 9090. You can access the local grafana server at localhost:3000 in your browser using admin/admin as default username / password. You can import the grafana dashboards to fetch the SBK and SBM benchmark data of the existing supported storage drivers from grafana dashboards.

The SBM (Server side) and SBK (client side) can use the same dashboard for a selected storage driver/device. for SBM , these grafana dashboards shows the number of active and maximum connections. The sample output of 2 SBK instances of file system benchmark data with grafana is below

SBM file system Dashboard

SBM JMX Exporter and Grafana

The SBK can start the java agent to export the JVM metrics to Grafana via Prometheus. you just have build with parameter -PjmxExport=true while building SBK. Refer : build SBK with JMX All the SBM JVM metrics will be available at http://localhost:8719/metrics The network port 8719 to used to expose the metrics. use SBM-JMX grafana dashboard to analyse the SBM JVM metrics.

SBM Docker Containers

you can build the sbk docker image using ‘docker’ command as follows

docker build -f ./dockers/sbm <root directory> --tag <tag name>

example docker command is

docker build -f ./dockers/sbm ./ --tag sbm

you can run the docker image too, For example

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:9717:9717/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:9719:9719/tcp kmgowda/sbm:latest -class file -time ns

SBM docker hub

The SBM Docker images are available at SBK Docker

The SBK docker image pull command is

docker pull kmgowda/sbm

you can straightaway run the docker image too, For example

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:9717:9717/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:9719:9719/tcp kmgowda/sbm:latest -class file -time ns

SBM Docker Compose

The SBM docker compose consists of SBM docker image, Grafana and prometheus docker images. The grafana image contains the dashboards which can be directly deployed for the performance analytics.

As an example, just follow the below steps to see the performance graphs

  1. In the sbm directory build the ‘sbm’ service of the docker compose file as follows.
 <SBK dir>% docker-compose build

  1. Run the ‘sbm’ service as follows.
 <SBK dir>% docker-compose run -p 127.0.0.1:9717:9717/tcp sbm -class file -time ns

Note that , 9717 is the exposed port from sbm container to receive the benchmark results from remote SBK instances via localhost. The option -class is the same as in SBK command/application. you should use the same storage class and time unit in SBK instances too.

  1. login to grafana localhost port 3000 with username admin and password sbk
  2. go to dashboard menu and pick the dashboard of the storage device on which you are running the performance benchmarking. in the above example, you can choose the File system dashboard.
  3. The SBM docker compose runs the SBM image as a docker container. In case, if you are running SBK as an application, and you want to see the SBK performance graphs using Grafana, then use Grafana Docker compose
