There are times when it may be desirable to obtain analytics information about the Delphix Engine CPU via CLI, which is formatted differently than what is available from the Delphix User Interface (UI).

Troubleshooting

You can obtain running information by looking at the GUI > Resources > Performance Analytics. You will see the graph for CPU if the CPU is selected.

When logged into the Delphix Engine command-line interface (CLI) as admin, you can see the default analytics gathered:

dlpx5120.dcenter > analytics

dlpx5120.dcenter analytics > list

NAME           STATISTICTYPE               STATE    COLLECTIONINTERVAL  COLLECTIONAXES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
default.cpu    CPU_UTIL                    RUNNING  1sec               idle, kernel, user
default.disk   DISK_OPS                    RUNNING  1sec               op, avgLatency, latency, count, throughput
default.iscsi  iSCSI_OPS                   RUNNING  1sec               op, latency, count, throughput
default.network NETWORK_INTERFACE_UTIL     RUNNING  1sec               outBytes, networkInterface, inPackets, inBytes, outPackets
default.nfs    NFS_OPS                     RUNNING  1sec               op, latency, count, throughput
default.tcp    TCP_STATS                   RUNNING  1sec               congestionWindowSize, localPort, remotePort, 
                                                                        receiveWindowSize, inUnorderedBytes, sendWindowSize, 
                                                                        retransmittedBytes, outBytes, localAddress, roundTripTime, 
                                                                        inBytes, unacknowledgedBytes, remoteAddress

Resolution

You can also obtain some information from the CLI, using the Performance Analytics Tool API Reference.

In order to view this information, you must log in with a user that had Delphix Admin privileges.

Option 1: Run an existing analytic

  1. Login as admin and run analytics.

    dlpx5120.dcenter > analytics

dlpx5120.dcenter analytics > list

                                                                         receiveWindowSize, inUnorderedBytes, sendWindowSize, 
                                                                         retransmittedBytes, outBytes, localAddress, roundTripTime, 
                                                                         inBytes, unacknowledgedBytes, remoteAddress

Option 2: Create a new analytic

  1. Log in as admin and then run analytics.

  2. Run create and list the properties.

    dlpx5120.dcenter analytics > create

dlpx5120.dcenter analytics create *> ls

Properties:
    type:               StatisticSlice
    name:               (required)

    collectionAxes:     (required)
    collectionInterval: (unset)
    dataNode:          (unset)
    statisticType:      (required)

  3. Set the required Properties name, collectionAxes and statisticType (if you are unsure you can run help for options) for=""> for options)>

    set name=test.cpu
set collectionAxes=kernel
set statisticType=CPU_UTIL

dlpx5120.dcenter analytics create *> ls

Properties:
    type:               StatisticSlice

    collectionAxes:     kernel
    collectionInterval: (unset)
    dataNode:           (unset)
    statisticType:      CPU_UTIL

  4. Commit to being data collection.

    dlpx5120.dcenter analytics create *> commit
