Intel® Dynamic Load Balancer Input Plugin
This plugin collects metrics exposed by applications built with the Data Plane Development Kit, an extensive set of open source libraries designed for accelerating packet processing workloads, plugin is also using bifurcated driver. More specifically it’s targeted for applications using Intel DLB as eventdev devices accessed via bifurcated driver (allowing access from kernel and user-space).
Introduced in: Telegraf v1.25.0 Tags: applications OS support: linux
Requirements
- Linux kernel 5.12+
- DLB >= v7.4
- DPDK >= 20.11.3
exposed by DPDK-based app will require root access. This means that either access permissions have to be adjusted for sysfs / socket telemetry interface to allow Telegraf to access it, or Telegraf should run with root privileges.
Global configuration options
Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring plugin ordering. See CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
Configuration
## Reads metrics from DPDK using v2 telemetry interface.
## This plugin ONLY supports Linux
[[inputs.intel_dlb]]
## Path to DPDK telemetry socket.
# socket_path = "/var/run/dpdk/rte/dpdk_telemetry.v2"
## Default eventdev command list, it gathers metrics from socket by given commands.
## Supported options:
## "/eventdev/dev_xstats", "/eventdev/port_xstats",
## "/eventdev/queue_xstats", "/eventdev/queue_links"
# eventdev_commands = ["/eventdev/dev_xstats", "/eventdev/port_xstats", "/eventdev/queue_xstats", "/eventdev/queue_links"]
## Detect DLB devices based on device id.
## Currently, only supported and tested device id is `0x2710`.
## Configuration added to support forward compatibility.
# dlb_device_types = ["0x2710"]
## Specifies plugin behavior regarding unreachable socket (which might not have been initialized yet).
## Available choices:
## - error: Telegraf will return an error on startup if socket is unreachable
## - ignore: Telegraf will ignore error regarding unreachable socket on both startup and gather
# unreachable_socket_behavior = "error"Default configuration allows getting metrics for all metrics
reported via /eventdev/ command:
/eventdev/dev_xstats/eventdev/port_xstats/eventdev/queue_xstats/eventdev/queue_links
Metrics
There are two sources of metrics:
- DPDK-based app for detailed eventdev metrics per device, per port and per queue
- Sysfs entries from kernel driver for RAS metrics
