|
||||
ID which means you'll have to grep with additional context, for example using
|
||||
``grep -B20 -A20``.
|
||||
|
||||
Another useful debugging tool is Zuul's SIGUSR2 handler. This signal handler
|
||||
produces a thread dump in the debug log and toggles the yappi python profiler.
|
||||
Each Zuul service supports the signal handler and it can be triggered via::
|
||||
|
||||
you@zuul02$ sudo kill -USR2 $ZUUL_PID
|
||||
|
||||
To determine ``$ZUUL_PID`` you can run ``ps`` against the ``zuul-*`` service
|
||||
that you are interested in getting information from. For example::
|
||||
|
||||
you@zuul02$ ps -ef | grep zuul-scheduler
|
||||
zuuld 1893030 1893010 0 08:33 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dumb-init -- /usr/local/bin/zuul-scheduler -f
|
||||
zuuld 1893052 1893030 69 08:33 ? 07:57:42 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/zuul-scheduler -f
|
||||
zuuld 1893198 1893052 0 08:33 ? 00:03:22 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/zuul-scheduler -f
|
||||
|
||||
All of the zuul services are run under ``dumb-init``. The process to send
|
||||
SIGUSR2 to is the child of the ``dumb-init`` process. In the example above
|
||||
``$ZUUL_PID`` would be ``1893052``.
|
||||
|
||||
The first time you run it you will turn on the yappi profiler. This profiler
|
||||
does incur a runtime cost which can significantly slow down Zuul's processing
|
||||
of pipelines. Be sure to resend the signal once you have let Zuul run long
|
||||
enough to collect a representative set of profiler data. In most cases a minute
|
||||
or two should be sufficient. Slow memory leaks may require hours, but running
|
||||
Zuul under yappi for hours isn't practical.
