A tool that will fetch data from PMM and import it into local instance. Will help Percona Services engineers to resolve issues when the customer cannot provide access to their PMM instance.
You will need to have Go 1.16+ installed.
In the root directory: make build
The transfer process is split into two main parts: export and import.
In order to run either export or import, you have to specify PMM URL with credentials at least:
./pmm-dump export --pmm-url "http://USER:PASS@HOST"
./pmm-dump import --pmm-url "http://USER:PASS@HOST" --dump-path FILENAME.tar.gz
Also, you can use credentials flags or envars:
./pmm-dump export --pmm-url "http://HOST" --pmm-user USER --pmm-pass PASS
PMM_USER=USER PMM_PASS=PASS ./pmm-dump import --pmm-url "http://HOST" --dump-path FILENAME.tar.gz
Here are main commands/flags:
Command | Flag | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|
any | pmm-url | URL of PMM instance. Envar: PMM_URL |
http://admin:admin@localhost |
any | pmm-host | Host of PMM instance(with scheme). Envar: PMM_HOST |
http://localhost |
any | pmm-port | Port of PMM instance. Envar: PMM_PORT |
80 |
any | pmm-user | PMM credentials user. Envar: PMM_USER |
- |
any | pmm-pass | PMM credentials password. Envar: PMM_PASS |
- |
any | dump-core | Process core metrics | - |
any | dump-qan | Process QAN metrics | - |
any | workers | Set the number of import/export workers | 4 |
export | start-ts | Start date-time to limit timeframe (in RFC3339 format) | 2006-01-02T15:04:05Z (please note that you can't use offset for UTC time)2006-01-02T15:04:05-07:00 |
export | end-ts | End date-time to limit timeframe (in RFC3339 format) | 2006-01-02T15:04:05Z (please note that you can't use offset for UTC time)2006-01-02T15:04:05-07:00 |
export | ignore-load | Disable checking for load values | - |
export | max-load | Max value of a metric to postpone export | CPU=50,RAM=50,MYRAM=10 |
export | critical-load | Max value of a metric to stop export | CPU=70,RAM=70,MYRAM=30 |
export | stdout | Redirect output to STDOUT | - |
export | vm-native-data | Use VictoriaMetrics' native export format. Reduces dump size, but can be incompatible between PMM versions | - |
any | dump-path, d | Path to dump file | /tmp/pmm-dumps/pmm-dump-1624342596.tar.gz |
any | verbose, v | Enable verbose (debug) mode | - |
any | allow-insecure-certs | For self-signed certificates | - |
show-meta | - | Shows dump meta in human readable format | - |
show-meta | no-prettify | Shows raw dump meta | - |
version | - | Shows binary version | - |
For filtering you could use the following commands (will be improved in the future):
Command | Flag | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|
export | ts-selector | Timeseries selector (for VM only) | {service_name="mongo"} |
export | where | WHERE statement (for CH only) | service_name='mongo' |
export | dashboard | Dashboard name (for VM only) | MongoDB Instances Overview |
export | instance | Filter by service name | mongo |
You could filter by instance using service name or id. For example, we have registered the following mongodb instance:
> pmm-admin add mongodb --username=pmm_mongodb --password=password mongo mongodb:27017
MongoDB Service added.
Service ID : /service_id/6d7fbaa0-6b21-4c3f-a4a7-4be1e4f58b11
Service name: mongo
So the value of ts-selector
would be: {service_name="mongo"}
or {service_id="/service_id/6d7fbaa0-6b21-4c3f-a4a7-4be1e4f58b11"}
.
The same for where
QAN filter: service_name='mongo'
or service_id='/service_id/6d7fbaa0-6b21-4c3f-a4a7-4be1e4f58b11'
.
Also, you can use instance
option which filters QAN and core metrics by service name
> ./pmm-dump export --pmm-url="http://admin:admin@localhost:8282" --ts-selector=`{service_name="mongo"}` --dump-qan --where=`service_name='mongo'`
is same as
> ./pmm-dump export --pmm-url="http://admin:admin@localhost:8282" --instance="mongo" --dump-qan
To filter by multiple dashboards, you can use dashboard
flag multiple times:
> ./pmm-dump export --pmm-url="http://admin:admin@localhost:8282" --dashboard='MongoDB Instances Overview' --dashboard='MySQL Instances Overview'`
In some cases you would need to override default configuration for VM/CH processing:
Command | Flag | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|
any | victoria-metrics-url | URL of Victoria Metrics | http://admin:admin@localhost:8282/prometheus |
any | click-house-url | URL of Click House | http://localhost:9000?database=pmm |
export | chunk-time-range | Time range to be fit into a single chunk (VM only) | 45s , 5m , 1h |
export | chunk-rows | Amount of rows to fit into a single chunk (CH only) | 1000 |
You can redirect output to STDOUT with --stdout option. It's useful to redirect output to another pmm-dump in a pipeline:
> ./pmm-dump export --pmm-url="http://admin:admin@localhost:8282" --dump-qan --stdout | ./pmm-dump import --pmm-url="http://admin:admin@localhost:8282" --dump-qan
You can set threshold values to stop or postpone pmm-dump during export using max-load
and critical-load
options.
The syntax for these options is following:
<threshold>=<percent_value>
You can provide multiple threshold values separated by commas. For example:
--max-load='CPU=100,RAM=30'
Available thresholds:
CPU
- CPU load of PMM instance in percents (0-100)RAM
- RAM load of PMM instance in percents (0-100)MYRAM
- RAM load of instance which uses pmm-dump in percents (0-100)
Dump file is a tar
archive compressed via gzip
. Here is the shape of dump file:
dump.tar.gz/meta.json
- contains metadata about the dump (JSON object)dump.tar.gz/vm/
- contains Victoria Metrics data chunks split by timeframe (in native VM format)dump.tar.gz/ch/
- contains ClickHouse data chunks split by rows count (in TSV format)
There is a Makefile for easier testing locally. It uses docker-compose to set up PMM Server, Client and MongoDB.
You will need to have Go 1.16+ and Docker installed.
Rule | Description |
