Analyzing workflow performance

Note: Starting from Arvados 2.7.2, these reports are generated automatically by arvados-cwl-runner and can be found as usage_report.html in a container request’s log collection.

The crunchstat-summary tool can be used to analyze workflow and container performance. It can be installed from packages (apt install python3-crunchstat-summary or yum install rh-python36-python-crunchstat-summary), or in a Python virtualenv (pip install crunchstat_summary). crunchstat-summary analyzes the crunchstat lines from the logs of a container or workflow and generates a report in text or html format.

Syntax

The crunchstat-summary tool has a number of command line arguments:

~$ crunchstat-summary -h
usage: crunchstat-summary [-h]
                          [--job UUID | --container UUID | --pipeline-instance UUID | --log-file LOG_FILE]
                          [--skip-child-jobs] [--format {html,text}]
                          [--threads THREADS] [--verbose]

Summarize resource usage of an Arvados Crunch job

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --job UUID, --container-request UUID
                        Look up the specified job or container request and
                        read its log data from Keep (or from the Arvados event
                        log, if the job is still running)
  --container UUID      [Deprecated] Look up the specified container find its
                        container request and read its log data from Keep (or
                        from the Arvados event log, if the job is still
                        running)
  --pipeline-instance UUID
                        [Deprecated] Summarize each component of the given
                        pipeline instance (historical pre-1.4)
  --log-file LOG_FILE   Read log data from a regular file
  --skip-child-jobs     Do not include stats from child jobs/containers
  --format {html,text}  Report format
  --threads THREADS     Maximum worker threads to run
  --verbose, -v         Log more information (once for progress, twice for
                        debug)

When crunchstat-summary is given a container or container request uuid for a toplevel workflow runner container, it will generate a report for the whole workflow. If the workflow is big, it can take a long time to generate the report.

Examples

crunchstat-summary prints to stdout. The html report, in particular, should be redirected to a file and then loaded in a browser.

The html report can be generated as follows:

~$ crunchstat-summary --container-request pirca-xvhdp-rs0ef250emtmbj8 --format html > report.html

When loaded in a browser:

Using --format text will print detailed usage and summary:
