大家好,我是Linux中文妹。


最近,在对公司容器云的日志方案进行设计的时候,发现主流的ELK或者EFK比较重,再加上现阶段对于ES复杂的搜索功能很多都用不上最终选择了Grafana开源的Loki日志系统,下面介绍下Loki的背景。
背景和动机
当我们的容器云运行的应用或者某个节点出现问题了,解决思路应该如下:


我们的监控使用的是基于Prometheus体系进行改造的,Prometheus中比较重要的是Metric和Alert,Metric是来说明当前或者历史达到了某个值,Alert设置Metric达到某个特定的基数触发了告警,但是这些信息明显是不够的。我们都知道,Kubernetes的基本单位是Pod,Pod把日志输出到stdout和stderr,平时有什么问题我们通常在界面或者通过命令查看相关的日志,举个例子:当我们的某个Pod的内存变得很大,触发了我们的Alert,这个时候管理员,去页面查询确认是哪个Pod有问题,然后要确认Pod内存变大的原因,我们还需要去查询Pod的日志,如果没有日志系统,那么我们就需要到页面或者使用命令进行查询了:



如果,这个时候应用突然挂了,这个时候我们就无法查到相关的日志了,所以需要引入日志系统,统一收集日志,而使用ELK的话,就需要在Kibana和Grafana之间切换,影响用户体验。所以 ,loki的第一目的就是最小化度量和日志的切换成本,有助于减少异常事件的响应时间和提高用户的体验。
ELK存在的问题
现有的很多日志采集的方案都是采用全文检索对日志进行索引(如ELK方案),优点是功能丰富,允许复杂的操作。但是,这些方案往往规模复杂,资源占用高,操作苦难。很多功能往往用不上,大多数查询只关注一定时间范围和一些简单的参数(如host、service等),使用这些解决方案就有点杀鸡用牛刀的感觉了。


因此,Loki的第二个目的是,在查询语言的易操作性和复杂性之间可以达到一个权衡。
成本
全文检索的方案也带来成本问题,简单的说就是全文搜索(如ES)的倒排索引的切分和共享的成本较高。后来出现了其他不同的设计方案如:OKlog,采用最终一致的、基于网格的分布策略。这两个设计决策提供了大量的成本降低和非常简单的操作,但是查询不够方便。因此,Loki的第三个目的是,提高一个更具成本效益的解决方案。


架构


整体架构

Loki的架构如下:


不难看出,Loki的架构非常简单,使用了和Prometheus一样的标签来作为索引,也就是说,你通过这些标签既可以查询日志的内容也可以查询到监控的数据,不但减少了两种查询之间的切换成本,也极大地降低了日志索引的存储。Loki将使用与Prometheus相同的服务发现和标签重新标记库,编写了pormtail,在Kubernetes中promtail以DaemonSet方式运行在每个节点中,通过Kubernetes API等到日志的正确元数据,并将它们发送到Loki。下面是日志的存储架构:


读写
日志数据的写主要依托的是Distributor和Ingester两个组件,整体的流程如下:


Distributor
一旦promtail收集日志并将其发送给loki,Distributor就是第一个接收日志的组件。由于日志的写入量可能很大,所以不能在它们传入时将它们写入数据库。这会毁掉数据库。我们需要批处理和压缩数据。
Loki通过构建压缩数据块来实现这一点,方法是在日志进入时对其进行gzip操作,组件ingester是一个有状态的组件,负责构建和刷新chunck,当chunk达到一定的数量或者时间后,刷新到存储中去。每个流的日志对应一个ingester,当日志到达Distributor后,根据元数据和hash算法计算出应该到哪个ingester上面。


此外,为了冗余和弹性,我们将其复制n(默认情况下为3)次。
Ingester
Ingester接收到日志并开始构建chunk:


基本上就是将日志进行压缩并附加到chunk上面。一旦chunk“填满”(数据达到一定数量或者过了一定期限),ingester将其刷新到数据库。我们对块和索引使用单独的数据库,因为它们存储的数据类型不同。


刷新一个chunk之后,ingester然后创建一个新的空chunk并将新条目添加到该chunk中。
Querier
读取就非常简单了,由Querier负责给定一个时间范围和标签选择器,Querier查看索引以确定哪些块匹配,并通过greps将结果显示出来。它还从Ingester获取尚未刷新的最新数据。
对于每个查询,一个查询器将为您显示所有相关日志。实现了查询并行化,提供分布式grep,使即使是大型查询也是足够的。


可扩展性
Loki的索引存储可以是cassandra/bigtable/dynamodb,而chuncks可以是各种对象存储,Querier和Distributor都是无状态的组件。对于ingester他虽然是有状态的但是,当新的节点加入或者减少,整节点间的chunk会重新分配,已适应新的散列环。而Loki底层存储的实现Cortex已经 在实际的生产中投入使用多年了。有了这句话,我可以放心的在环境中实验一把了。

部署



Loki的安装非常简单。
创建namespace

oc new-project loki


权限设置

oc adm policy add-scc-to-user anyuid -z default -n loki
oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-admin system:serviceaccount:loki:default

语法


Loki提供了HTTP接口,我们这里就不详解了,大家可以看:https://github.com/grafana/loki/blob/master/docs/api.md
我们这里说下查询的接口如何使用。
第一步,获取当前Loki的元数据类型:

curl http://192.168.25.30:30972/api/prom/label
{
 "values": ["alertmanager""app""component""container_name""controller_revision_hash""deployment""deploymentconfig""docker_registry""draft""filename""instance""job""logging_infra""metrics_infra""name""namespace""openshift_io_component""pod_template_generation""pod_template_hash""project""projectname""prometheus""provider""release""router""servicename""statefulset_kubernetes_io_pod_name""stream""tekton_dev_pipeline""tekton_dev_pipelineRun""tekton_dev_pipelineTask""tekton_dev_task""tekton_dev_taskRun""type""webconsole"]
}

第二步,获取某个元数据类型的值:

curl http://192.168.25.30:30972/api/prom/label/namespace/values
{"values":["cicd","default","gitlab","grafanaserver","jenkins","jx-staging","kube-system","loki","mysql-exporter","new2","openshift-console","openshift-infra","openshift-logging","openshift-monitoring","openshift-node","openshift-sdn","openshift-web-console","tekton-pipelines","test111"]}

第三步,根据label进行查询,例如:

http://192.168.25.30:30972/api/prom/query?direction=BACKWARD&limit=1000&regexp=&query={namespace="cicd"}&start=1567644457221000000&end=1567730857221000000&refId=A

参数解析:
  • query:一种查询语法详细见下面章节,{name=~“mysql.+”} or {namespace=“cicd”} |= "error"表示查询,namespace为CI/CD的日志中,有error字样的信息。

  • limit:返回日志的数量

  • start:开始时间,Unix时间表示方法 默认为,一小时前时间

  • end:结束时间,默认为当前时间

  • direction:forward或者backward,指定limit时候有用,默认为 backward

  • regexp:对结果进行regex过滤


LogQL语法
选择器
对于查询表达式的标签部分,将放在{}中,多个标签表达式用逗号分隔:

{app="mysql",name="mysql-backup"}

支持的符号有:
  • =:完全相同。

  • !=:不平等。

  • =~:正则表达式匹配。

  • !~:不要正则表达式匹配。


过滤表达式
编写日志流选择器后,您可以通过编写搜索表达式进一步过滤结果。搜索表达式可以文本或正则表达式。
如:
  • {job=“mysql”} |= “error”

  • {name=“kafka”} |~ “tsdb-ops.*io:2003”

  • {instance=~“kafka-[23]”,name=“kafka”} != kafka.server:type=ReplicaManager


支持多个过滤:
  • {job=“mysql”} |= “error” != “timeout”


目前支持的操作符:
  • |= line包含字符串。

  • != line不包含字符串。

  • |~ line匹配正则表达式。

  • !~ line与正则表达式不匹配。


表达式遵循https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax语法。
