Zmstats

Zmstats is how Zimbra exposes its performance metrics and statistics to the world. The information covers a wide array of data: disk usage, cpu utilization, java statistics, zimbra counters and beyond.



Zmstats consists of the following components and scripts:

  • zmstatctl (all zmstat collection scripts are located in /opt/zimbra/libexec)
    • zmstat-allprocs (since ZCS 6.0)
    • zmstat-convertd
    • zmstat-cpu
    • zmstat-df (since ZCS 6.0)
    • zmstat-fd
    • zmstat-io
    • zmstat-ldap (since ZCS 8.0)
    • zmstat-mtaqueue
    • zmstat-mysql
    • zmstat-nginx (since ZCS 6.0)
    • zmstat-proc
    • zmstat-vm
  • zmstat-chart
    • zmstat-chart-config

Running zmstats

  • On the server where the stats were produced, make sure that the zmstat-chart.xml is provided. When running zmdiaglog, the zmstats and zmstat-chart-config are automatically produced]
# su - zimbra
$ zmstat-chart-config > /tmp/zmstat-chart-`zmhostname`.xml
  • Make a charts directory:
$ mkdir ~/zmstat/2010-06-01/charts
  • Then produce the stats:
$ zmstat-chart -c /tmp/zmstat-chart.xml -s ~/zmstat/2010-06-01 -d ~/zmstat/2010-06-01/charts

zmstatctl

zmstatctl is used to start and stop and various zmstat-* data logging scripts

zmstat-chart

zmstat-chart reads an XML configuration file generated by zmstat-chart-config and generates a set of HTML and PNG graph images suitable for rapidly diagnosing problems and load issues.

zmstat-chart-config.xml

Used to control what is graphed and how

Examples:

 <chart title="Mailboxd: JVM Heap Used"
        category="mailboxd"
        infile="mailboxd.csv"
        outfile="mboxd-heap-used.png"
        yAxis="MB">
   <plot data="heap_used" legend="total" divisor="1m"/>
 </chart>


The above defines a chart that reads the counter "heap_used" out of mailboxd.csv. It takes that counter and graphs it to a file "mboxd-heap-used.png". There will be a resulting graph with a yAxis labelled "MB" and "heap_used" divided by 1million (megabytes) will be graphed over time.

Multiple plots can be placed onto a single chart through the use of additional <plot> elements.

See /opt/zimbra/conf/zmstat-chart.xml for more examples
