<h1 id="apache-apex-autometrics">Apache Apex AutoMetrics</h1>
<h1 id="introduction">Introduction</h1>
<p>Metrics collect various statistical information about a process which can be very useful for diagnosis. Auto Metrics in Apex can help monitor operators in a running application. The goal of <em>AutoMetric</em> API is to enable operator developer to define relevant metrics for an operator in a simple way which the platform collects and reports automatically.</p>
<h1 id="specifying-autometrics-in-an-operator">Specifying AutoMetrics in an Operator</h1>
<p>An <em>AutoMetric</em> can be any object. It can be of a primitive type - int, long, etc. or a complex one. A field or a <code>get</code> method in an operator can be annotated with <code>@AutoMetric</code> to specify that its value is a metric. After every application end window, the platform collects the values of these fields/methods in a map and sends it to application master.</p>
<p><a name="lineReceiver"></a></p>
<pre><code class="java">public class LineReceiver extends BaseOperator
{
@AutoMetric
long length;
@AutoMetric
long count;
public final transient DefaultInputPort&lt;String&gt; input = new DefaultInputPort&lt;String&gt;()
{
@Override
public void process(String s)
{
length += s.length();
count++;
}
};
@Override
public void beginWindow(long windowId)
{
length = 0;
count = 0;
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>There are 2 auto-metrics declared in the <code>LineReceiver</code>. At the end of each application window, the platform will send a map with 2 entries - <code>[(length, 100), (count, 10)]</code> to the application master.</p>
<h1 id="aggregating-autometrics-across-partitions">Aggregating AutoMetrics across Partitions</h1>
<p>When an operator is partitioned, it is useful to aggregate the values of auto-metrics across all its partitions every window to get a logical view of these metrics. The application master performs these aggregations using metrics aggregators.</p>
<p>The AutoMetric API helps to achieve this by providing an interface for writing aggregators- <code>AutoMetric.Aggregator</code>. Any implementation of <code>AutoMetric.Aggregator</code> can be set as an operator attribute - <code>METRICS_AGGREGATOR</code> for a particular operator which in turn is used for aggregating physical metrics.</p>
<h2 id="default-aggregators">Default aggregators</h2>
<p><a href="https://github.com/apache/apex-core/blob/master/common/src/main/java/com/datatorrent/common/metric/MetricsAggregator.java"><code>MetricsAggregator</code></a> is a simple implementation of <code>AutoMetric.Aggregator</code> that platform uses as a default for summing up primitive types - int, long, float and double.</p>
<p><code>MetricsAggregator</code> is just a collection of <code>SingleMetricAggregator</code>s. There are multiple implementations of <code>SingleMetricAggregator</code> that perform sum, min, max, avg which are present in Apex core and Apex malhar.</p>
<p>For the <code>LineReceiver</code> operator, the application developer need not specify any aggregator. The platform will automatically inject an instance of <code>MetricsAggregator</code> that contains two <code>LongSumAggregator</code>s - one for <code>length</code> and one for <code>count</code>. This aggregator will report sum of length and sum of count across all the partitions of <code>LineReceiver</code>.</p>
<h2 id="building-custom-aggregators">Building custom aggregators</h2>
<p>Platform cannot perform any meaningful aggregations for non-numeric metrics. In such cases, the operator or application developer can write custom aggregators. Let’s say, if the <code>LineReceiver</code> was modified to have a complex metric as shown below.</p>
<pre><code class="java">public class AnotherLineReceiver extends BaseOperator
{
@AutoMetric
final LineMetrics lineMetrics = new LineMetrics();
public final transient DefaultInputPort&lt;String&gt; input = new DefaultInputPort&lt;String&gt;()
{
@Override
public void process(String s)
{
lineMetrics.length += s.length();
lineMetrics.count++;
}
};
@Override
public void beginWindow(long windowId)
{
lineMetrics.length = 0;
lineMetrics.count = 0;
}
public static class LineMetrics implements Serializable
{
long length;
long count;
private static final long serialVersionUID = 201511041908L;
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>Below is a custom aggregator that can calculate average line length across all partitions of <code>AnotherLineReceiver</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="java">public class AvgLineLengthAggregator implements AutoMetric.Aggregator
{
Map&lt;String, Object&gt; result = Maps.newHashMap();
@Override
public Map&lt;String, Object&gt; aggregate(long l, Collection&lt;AutoMetric.PhysicalMetricsContext&gt; collection)
{
long totalLength = 0;
long totalCount = 0;
for (AutoMetric.PhysicalMetricsContext pmc : collection) {
AnotherLineReceiver.LineMetrics lm = (AnotherLineReceiver.LineMetrics)pmc.getMetrics().get(&quot;lineMetrics&quot;);
totalLength += lm.length;
totalCount += lm.count;
}
result.put(&quot;avgLineLength&quot;, totalLength/totalCount);
return result;
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>An instance of above aggregator can be specified as the <code>METRIC_AGGREGATOR</code> for <code>AnotherLineReceiver</code> while creating the DAG as shown below.</p>
<pre><code class="java"> @Override
public void populateDAG(DAG dag, Configuration configuration)
{
...
AnotherLineReceiver lineReceiver = dag.addOperator(&quot;LineReceiver&quot;, new AnotherLineReceiver());
dag.setAttribute(lineReceiver, Context.OperatorContext.METRICS_AGGREGATOR, new AvgLineLengthAggregator());
...
}
</code></pre>
<h1 id="retrieving-autometrics">Retrieving AutoMetrics</h1>
<p>There are two options for retrieving the AutoMetrics:</p>
<ul>
<li>Throught DataTorrent Gateway REST API</li>
<li>Through REST service on the port of the running STRAM</li>
</ul>
<p>The Gateway REST API provides a way to retrieve the latest AutoMetrics for each logical operator. For example:</p>
<pre><code>GET /ws/v2/applications/{appid}/logicalPlan/operators/{opName}
{
...
&quot;autoMetrics&quot;: {
&quot;count&quot;: &quot;71314&quot;,
&quot;length&quot;: &quot;27780706&quot;
},
&quot;className&quot;: &quot;com.datatorrent.autometric.LineReceiver&quot;,
...
}
</code></pre>
<h1 id="system-metrics">System Metrics</h1>
<p>System metrics are standard operator metrics provided by the system. Examples include:</p>
<ul>
<li>processed tuples per second</li>
<li>emitted tuples per second</li>
<li>total tuples processed</li>
<li>total tuples emitted</li>
<li>latency</li>
<li>CPU percentage</li>
<li>failure count</li>
<li>checkpoint elapsed time</li>
</ul>
<p>The Gateway REST API provides a way to retrieve the latest values for all of the above for each of the logical operators in the application.</p>
<pre><code>GET /ws/v2/applications/{appid}/logicalPlan/operators/{opName}
{
...
&quot;cpuPercentageMA&quot;: &quot;{cpuPercentageMA}&quot;,
&quot;failureCount&quot;: &quot;{failureCount}&quot;,
&quot;latencyMA&quot;: &quot;{latencyMA}&quot;,
&quot;totalTuplesEmitted&quot;: &quot;{totalTuplesEmitted}&quot;,
&quot;totalTuplesProcessed&quot;: &quot;{totalTuplesProcessed}&quot;,
&quot;tuplesEmittedPSMA&quot;: &quot;{tuplesEmittedPSMA}&quot;,
&quot;tuplesProcessedPSMA&quot;: &quot;{tuplesProcessedPSMA}&quot;,
...
}
</code></pre>
<p>However, just like AutoMetrics, the Gateway only provides the latest metrics. For historical metrics, we will need the help of <a href="http://docs.datatorrent.com/app_data_tracker/">App Data Tracker</a>.</p>
