Performance analysis
********************
Occasionally, instances don't perform as well as expected, and so we provide
a simple tool to inspect which operations took the longest during boot and
setup.
.. _boot_time_analysis:
:command:`cloud-init analyze`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The `cloud-init` command has an analysis sub-command, :command:`analyze`, which
parses any :file:`cloud-init.log` file into formatted and sorted events. This
analysis reveals the most costly cloud-init operations and which configuration
options are responsible. These subcommands default to reading
:file:`/var/log/cloud-init.log`.
:command:`analyze show`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Parse and organize :file:`cloud-init.log` events by stage and include each
sub-stage granularity with time delta reports.
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ cloud-init analyze show -i my-cloud-init.log
Example output:
.. code-block:: shell-session
-- Boot Record 01 --
The total time elapsed since completing an event is printed after the "@"
character.
The time the event takes is printed after the "+" character.
Starting stage: modules-config
|`->config-snap_config ran successfully @05.47700s +00.00100s
|`->config-ssh-import-id ran successfully @05.47800s +00.00200s
|`->config-locale ran successfully @05.48000s +00.00100s
...
:command:`analyze dump`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Parse :file:`cloud-init.log` into event records and return a list of
dictionaries that can be consumed for other reporting needs.
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ cloud-init analyze dump -i my-cloud-init.log
Example output:
.. code-block::
[
{
"description": "running config modules",
"event_type": "start",
"name": "modules-config",
"origin": "cloudinit",
"timestamp": 1510807493.0
},...
:command:`analyze blame`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Parse :file:`cloud-init.log` into event records and sort them based on the
highest time cost for a quick assessment of areas of cloud-init that may
need improvement.
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ cloud-init analyze blame -i my-cloud-init.log
Example output:
.. code-block::
-- Boot Record 11 --
00.01300s (modules-final/config-scripts-per-boot)
00.00400s (modules-final/config-final-message)
...
:command:`analyze boot`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Make subprocess calls to the kernel in order to get relevant pre-cloud-init
timestamps, such as the kernel start, kernel finish boot, and cloud-init
start.
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ cloud-init analyze boot
Example output:
.. code-block::
-- Most Recent Boot Record --
Kernel Started at: 2019-06-13 15:59:55.809385
Kernel ended boot at: 2019-06-13 16:00:00.944740
Kernel time to boot (seconds): 5.135355
Cloud-init start: 2019-06-13 16:00:05.738396
Time between Kernel boot and Cloud-init start (seconds): 4.793656
