Linux I/O Monitoring and Analyze

From WikiMLT

There is a cou­ple of tools avail­able that al­lows you to mon­i­tor and an­a­lyze the disk I/O per­for­mance of your Lin­ux dri­ven sys­tem. Here are list­ed few of them and al­so how to in­stall and ex­am­ples of their ba­sic us­age.

The htop com­mand

If a new­er ver­sion of htop is avail­able at your dis­tri­b­u­tion, there is avail­able an ad­di­tion­al tab that shows the I/O met­rics of the in­stance – Screen 1. Here is how to check the avail­able ver­sion and in­stall htop.

sudo apt show htop 2>/dev/null | grep '^Version'
sudo apt install htop

In­stall the lat­est ver­sion of htop 3.2.1–1 on Ubun­tu Serv­er 22.04.1 from a .deb pack­age.

cd /tmp
wget --no-check-certificate https://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/htop/htop_3.2.1-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./htop_3.2.1-1_amd64.deb

To be able to see all da­ta in most cas­es you need to run the tool as root:

sudo htop

The iostat com­mand

io­stat – Re­port Cen­tral Pro­cess­ing Unit (CPU) sta­tis­tics and input/​​​output sta­tis­tics for de­vices and par­ti­tions. The io­stat com­mand is used for mon­i­tor­ing sys­tem input/​​​output de­vice load­ing by ob­serv­ing the time the de­vices are ac­tive in re­la­tion to their av­er­age trans­fer rates…

The first re­port gen­er­at­ed by the io­stat com­mand pro­vides sta­tis­tics con­cern­ing the time since the sys­tem was boot­ed, un­less the -y op­tion is used. Each sub­se­quent re­port cov­ers the time since the pre­vi­ous re­port. All sta­tis­tics are re­port­ed each time the io­stat com­mand is run. The re­port con­sists of a CPU head­er row fol­lowed by a row of CPU sta­tis­tics. On mul­ti­proces­sor sys­tems, CPU sta­tis­tics are cal­cu­lat­ed sys­tem-wide as av­er­ages among all proces­sors. A de­vice head­er row is dis­played fol­lowed by a line of sta­tis­tics for each de­vice that is con­fig­ured…

Here is how to get the gen­er­al re­port in hu­man read­able for­mat.

Watch the changes in the full sta­tis­tics per half sec­ond. In the the fol­low­ing ex­am­ple:

  • io­stat ‑y ‑h – sup­press the re­port since the boot time, hu­man read­able for­mat,
  • io­stat 1 1[ in­ter­val [ count ] ] – one count per one sec­ond.
  • watch ‑n 0.5 ‑d – re­fresh per 0.5 sec­onds, show the dif­fer­ence
watch -n 0.5 -d "iostat -h -y 1 1"

Dis­play ex­tend­ed sta­tis­tics for the whole sys­tem, in hu­man read­able for­mat, with time­stamp, per 6 sec­onds.

The iotop com­mand

iotop – sim­ple top-like I/O mon­i­tor – watch­es  I/O us­age in­for­ma­tion avail­able in the Lin­ux ker­nel (re­quires 2.6.20 or lat­er) and dis­plays a ta­ble of cur­rent I/O us­age by process­es  or  threads  on  the  sys­tem.  At  least  the  CON­FIG­_­TASK­_­DELAY­_­ACCTCON­FIG­_­TASK­_­IO­_­ACCOU­NTINGCON­FIG­_­TASK­STATS and CONFIG­_­VM­_­EVENT­_­COUN­TERS op­tions need to be en­abled in your Lin­ux ker­nel build con­fig­u­ra­tion…

Start­ing with Lin­ux ker­nel 5.14.x task­_​​​­delayacct is con­fig­urable at run­time and set to off by de­fault. This set­ting can be changed in in­ter­ac­tive mode by the Ctrl+T short­cut. In batch mode a warn­ing is print­ed when the set­ting is OFF. From the com­mand line this can be en­abled by: su­do sysctl kernel.task­_­delayacct=1, and dis­abled again by su­do sysctl kernel.task­_­delayacct=0. It is ad­vis­able to keep this op­tion off when not us­ing this or an­oth­er mon­i­tor­ing pro­gram be­cause when en­abled it has some ef­fect on sys­tem  per­for­mance.

On Screen 3, at the bot­tom im­age is shown the very ba­sic us­age of iotop with­out, and at the top im­age how the out­put looks like with the fol­low­ing op­tions (ref­er­ence):

  • -a – will show ac­cu­mu­lat­ed out­put,
  • -o – will on­ly out­put,
  • -P – will on­ly show process­es in­stead of threads.

The dstat com­mand

dstat is a ver­sa­tile tool for gen­er­at­ing sys­tem re­source sta­tis­tics, it is a ver­sa­tile re­place­ment for vmstat, iostat and ifstat. Dstat is unique in let­ting you ag­gre­gate block de­vice through­put for a cer­tain diskset or net­work band­width for a group of in­ter­faces, ie. you can see the through­put for all the block de­vices that make up a sin­gle filesys­tem or stor­age sys­tem.

sudo apt install dstat

There is an un­count­able mul­ti­tude of op­tions and plu­g­ins avail­able for dstat. Here is one ex­am­ple of us­age – Screen 3 – where are ap­plied the fol­low­ing op­tions.

  • -D sdc – adds col­umn that re­ports the I/O rate of /dev/sdc.
  • -t, --time – en­able time/​​​date out­put.
  • -a, --all – equals to -cdngy (-c cpu, -d disk; -n en­able net­work stats; -g en­able page stats; -y en­able sys­tem stats).
  • --top-io – show most ex­pen­sive I/O process.
  • --top-bio – show most ex­pen­sive block I/O process.
  • --top-mem – show process us­ing the most mem­o­ry.
sudo dstat -D sda -ta --top-io --top-bio --top-mem

The vmstat com­mand

vmstat – vir­tu­al mem­o­ry sta­tis­tics – re­ports in­for­ma­tion about process­es, mem­o­ry, pag­ing, block IO, traps, disks and cpu ac­tiv­i­ty. The first re­port pro­duced gives av­er­ages since the last re­boot. Ad­di­tion­al re­ports give in­for­ma­tion on a sam­pling pe­ri­od of length de­lay. The process and mem­o­ry re­ports are in­stan­ta­neous in ei­ther case.

Here is how to get sta­tis­tics about the block de­vices – -d, in megabytes -Sm (1000000), or -SM (1048576) bytes.

The sar com­mand

The sar com­mand is part of the pack­age sysstat. It out­puts the con­tents of se­lect­ed cu­mu­la­tive ac­tiv­i­ty coun­ters in the  op­er­at­ing  sys­tem. The ac­tiv­i­ties are col­lect­ed by the sysstat.service. Af­ter in­stalling the pack­age we need to en­able the col­lec­tor ser­vice and wait un­til some sta­tis­tics are col­lect­ed.

Mon­i­tor the Files Size Changes Re­cur­sive­ly

By the fol­low­ing com­mand we can mon­i­tor which are the most writ­ten files for the past 10 min­utes, larg­er than 800 Kb. This is done re­cur­sive­ly for the di­rec­to­ries /var/lib and /var/log. The out­put of the com­mand is shown at Screen 4.

sudo watch -n 3 -d \
"find /var/lib /var/log -type f -size +800k -mmin -10 -printf '%-30s \t %t %p\n' | grep -Pv '\.(gz|[0-9])$'"
Screen 4. Use watch and find to monitor file change in real time.

The main pros of this ap­proach (pro­posed here) is that, you do not need any spe­cial tool. In­for­ma­tion about these files and the columns in­side them could be ob­tained at:

Date:		February 2008
Contact:	Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com>
Description:
		The /proc/diskstats file displays the I/O statistics
		of block devices. Each line contains the following 14
		fields:

		==  ===================================
		 1  major number
		 2  minor mumber
		 3  device name
		 4  reads completed successfully
		 5  reads merged
		 6  sectors read
		 7  time spent reading (ms)
		 8  writes completed
		 9  writes merged
		10  sectors written
		11  time spent writing (ms)
		12  I/Os currently in progress
		13  time spent doing I/Os (ms)
		14  weighted time spent doing I/Os (ms)
		==  ===================================

		Kernel 4.18+ appends four more fields for discard
		tracking putting the total at 18:

		==  ===================================
		15  discards completed successfully
		16  discards merged
		17  sectors discarded
		18  time spent discarding
		==  ===================================

		Kernel 5.5+ appends two more fields for flush requests:

		==  =====================================
		19  flush requests completed successfully
		20  time spent flushing
		==  =====================================

Bench­mark Tools

  • io­zone – filesys­tem bench­mark – it is a filesys­tem bench­mark tool. The bench­mark gen­er­ates and mea­sures a va­ri­ety of file op­er­a­tions. io­zone has been port­ed to many ma­chines and runs un­der many op­er­at­ing sys­tems. This doc­u­ment will cov­er the many dif­fer­ent types of op­er­a­tions that are test­ed as well as cov­er­age of all of the com­mand line op­tions. Man­u­al with ex­am­ples: kongll​.github​.io/​i​ozone
  • hd­parm – get/​​​set SATA/IDE de­vice pa­ra­me­ters – pro­vides a com­mand line in­ter­face to var­i­ous ker­nel in­ter­faces sup­port­ed by the Lin­ux SATA/PATA/SAS "li­ba­ta" sub­sys­tem and the old­er IDE dri­ver sub­sys­tem. Per­form read test:
sudo hdparm -tT /dev/nvme0n1
  • dd – con­vert and copy a file – per­form write and read tests (re­al­ly sim­pli­fied just as a note):
dd if=/dev/zero of=./test.file bs=4096k count=4096
dd if=./test.file of=/dev/zero bs=4096k count=4096

Mon­i­tor­ing Tools

  • htop [-dCFh­pustvH] – in­ter­ac­tive process view­er – It is sim­i­lar to top, but al­lows you to scroll ver­ti­cal­ly and hor­i­zon­tal­ly, and in­ter­act us­ing a point­ing de­vice (mouse). You can ob­serve all process­es run­ning on the sys­tem, along with their com­mand line ar­gu­ments, as well as view them in a tree for­mat, se­lect mul­ti­ple process­es and act­ing on them all at once. Tasks re­lat­ed to process­es (killing, renic­ing) can be done with­out en­ter­ing their PIDs.
  • top [-hv|-bcEeHiOSs1 ‑d secs ‑n max ‑u|U user ‑p pids ‑o field ‑w [cols]] – dis­play Lin­ux process­es – it pro­vides a dy­nam­ic re­al-time view of a run­ning sys­tem. It can dis­play sys­tem sum­ma­ry in­for­ma­tion as well as a list of process­es or threads cur­rent­ly be­ing man­aged by the Lin­ux ker­nel. The types of sys­tem sum­ma­ry in­for­ma­tion shown and the types, or­der and size of in­for­ma­tion dis­played for process­es are all user con­fig­urable and that con­fig­u­ra­tion can be made per­sis­tent across restarts.
  • atop – Ad­vanced Sys­tem & Process Mon­i­tor – The pro­gram atop is an in­ter­ac­tive mon­i­tor to view the load on a Lin­ux sys­tem. It shows the oc­cu­pa­tion of the most crit­i­cal hard­ware re­sources (from a per­for­mance point of view) on sys­tem lev­el, i.e. cpu, mem­o­ry, disk and net­work. It al­so shows which process­es are re­spon­si­ble for the in­di­cat­ed load with re­spect to cpu and mem­o­ry load on process lev­el. Disk load is shown per process if "stor­age ac­count­ing is ac­tive in the ker­nel. Net­work load is shown per process if the ker­nel mod­ule ne­tatop has been in­stalled. Home page: atoptool​.nl.
