Chapter 12. Monitoring 12.1. Monitoring overview You can monitor the health of your cluster and virtual machines (VMs) with the following tools: Monitoring OpenShift Virtualization VM health status View the overall health of your OpenShift Virtualization environment in the web console by navigating to the Home Overview page in the OpenShift Container Platform web console. The Status card displays the overall health of OpenShift Virtualization based on the alerts and conditions. OpenShift Container Platform cluster checkup framework Run automated tests on your cluster with the OpenShift Container Platform cluster checkup framework to check the following conditions: Network connectivity and latency between two VMs attached to a secondary network interface VM running a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) workload with zero packet loss Cluster storage is optimally configured for OpenShift Virtualization Prometheus queries for virtual resources Query vCPU, network, storage, and guest memory swapping usage and live migration progress. VM custom metrics Configure the node-exporter service to expose internal VM metrics and processes. VM health checks Configure readiness, liveness, and guest agent ping probes and a watchdog for VMs. Runbooks Diagnose and resolve issues that trigger OpenShift Virtualization alerts in the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 12.2. OpenShift Virtualization cluster checkup framework OpenShift Virtualization includes the following predefined checkups that can be used for cluster maintenance and troubleshooting: Latency checkup, which verifies network connectivity and measures latency between two virtual machines (VMs) that are attached to a secondary network interface. Important Before you run a latency checkup, you must first create a bridge interface on the cluster nodes to connect the VM's secondary interface to any interface on the node. If you do not create a bridge interface, the VMs do not start and the job fails. Storage checkup, which verifies if the cluster storage is optimally configured for OpenShift Virtualization. DPDK checkup, which verifies that a node can run a VM with a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) workload with zero packet loss. Important The OpenShift Virtualization cluster checkup framework is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . 12.2.1. About the OpenShift Virtualization cluster checkup framework A checkup is an automated test workload that allows you to verify if a specific cluster functionality works as expected. The cluster checkup framework uses native Kubernetes resources to configure and execute the checkup. By using predefined checkups, cluster administrators and developers can improve cluster maintainability, troubleshoot unexpected behavior, minimize errors, and save time. They can also review the results of the checkup and share them with experts for further analysis. Vendors can write and publish checkups for features or services that they provide and verify that their customer environments are configured correctly. Running a predefined checkup in an existing namespace involves setting up a service account for the checkup, creating the Role and RoleBinding objects for the service account, enabling permissions for the checkup, and creating the input config map and the checkup job. You can run a checkup multiple times. Important You must always: Verify that the checkup image is from a trustworthy source before applying it. Review the checkup permissions before creating the Role and RoleBinding objects. 12.2.2. Running checkups by using the web console Use the following procedures the first time you run checkups by using the web console.

Building a container disk image for RHEL virtual machines You can build a custom Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 OS image in qcow2 format and use it to create a container disk image. You can store the container disk image in a registry that is accessible from your cluster and specify the image location in the spec.param.vmContainerDiskImage attribute of the DPDK checkup config map. To build a container disk image, you must create an image builder virtual machine (VM). The image builder VM is a RHEL 8 VM that can be used to build custom RHEL images. Prerequisites The image builder VM must run RHEL 8.7 and must have a minimum of 2 CPU cores, 4 GiB RAM, and 20 GB of free space in the /var directory. You have installed the image builder tool and its CLI ( composer-cli ) on the VM. You have installed the virt-customize tool: # dnf install libguestfs-tools You have installed the Podman CLI tool ( podman ). Procedure Verify that you can build a RHEL 8.7 image: # composer-cli distros list Note To run the composer-cli commands as non-root, add your user to the weldr or root groups: # usermod -a -G weldr user USD newgrp weldr Enter the following command to create an image blueprint file in TOML format that contains the packages to be installed, kernel customizations, and the services to be disabled during boot time: USD cat << EOF > dpdk-vm.toml name = "dpdk_image" description = "Image to use with the DPDK checkup" version = "0.0.1" distro = "rhel-87" [[customizations.user]] name = "root" password = "redhat" [[packages]] name = "dpdk" [[packages]] name = "dpdk-tools" [[packages]] name = "driverctl" [[packages]] name = "tuned-profiles-cpu-partitioning" [customizations.kernel] append = "default_hugepagesz=1GB hugepagesz=1G hugepages=1" [customizations.services] disabled = ["NetworkManager-wait-online", "sshd"] EOF Push the blueprint file to the image builder tool by running the following command: # composer-cli blueprints push dpdk-vm.toml Generate the system image by specifying the blueprint name and output file format. The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) of the image is displayed when you start the compose process. # composer-cli compose start dpdk_image qcow2 Wait for the compose process to complete. The compose status must show FINISHED before you can continue to the step. # composer-cli compose status Enter the following command to download the qcow2 image file by specifying its UUID: # composer-cli compose image <UUID> Create the customization scripts by running the following commands: USD cat <<EOF >customize-vm #!/bin/bash # Setup hugepages mount mkdir -p /mnt/huge echo "hugetlbfs /mnt/huge hugetlbfs defaults,pagesize=1GB 0 0" >> /etc/fstab # Create vfio-noiommu.conf echo "options vfio enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/vfio-noiommu.conf # Enable guest-exec,guest-exec-status on the qemu-guest-agent configuration sed -i '/^BLACKLIST_RPC=/ { s/guest-exec-status//; s/guest-exec//g }' /etc/sysconfig/qemu-ga sed -i '/^BLACKLIST_RPC=/ { s/,\+/,/g; s/^,\|,USD//g }' /etc/sysconfig/qemu-ga EOF Use the virt-customize tool to customize the image generated by the image builder tool: USD virt-customize -a <UUID>-disk.qcow2 --run=customize-vm --selinux-relabel To create a Dockerfile that contains all the commands to build the container disk image, enter the following command: USD cat << EOF > Dockerfile FROM scratch COPY --chown=107:107 <UUID>-disk.qcow2 /disk/ EOF where: <UUID>-disk.qcow2 Specifies the name of the custom image in qcow2 format. Build and tag the container by running the following command: USD podman build . -t dpdk-rhel:latest Push the container disk image to a registry that is accessible from your cluster by running the following command: USD podman push dpdk-rhel:latest Provide a link to the container disk image in the spec.param.vmUnderTestContainerDiskImage attribute in the DPDK checkup config map. 12.2.4. Additional resources Attaching a virtual machine to multiple networks Using a virtual function in DPDK mode with an Intel NIC Using SR-IOV and the Node Tuning Operator to achieve a DPDK line rate Installing image builder How to register and subscribe a RHEL system to the Red Hat Customer Portal using Red Hat Subscription Manager 12.3. Prometheus queries for virtual resources OpenShift Virtualization provides metrics that you can use to monitor the consumption of cluster infrastructure resources, including vCPU, network, storage, and guest memory swapping. You can also use metrics to query live migration status. 12.3.1. Prerequisites To use the vCPU metric, the schedstats=enable kernel argument must be applied to the MachineConfig object. This kernel argument enables scheduler statistics used for debugging and performance tuning and adds a minor additional load to the scheduler. For more information, see Adding kernel arguments to nodes . For guest memory swapping queries to return data, memory swapping must be enabled on the virtual guests. 12.3.2. Querying metrics for all projects with the OpenShift Container Platform web console You can use the OpenShift Container Platform metrics query browser to run Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) queries to examine metrics visualized on a plot. This functionality provides information about the state of a cluster and any user-defined workloads that you are monitoring. As a cluster administrator or as a user with view permissions for all projects, you can access metrics for all default OpenShift Container Platform and user-defined projects in the Metrics UI. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin cluster role or with view permissions for all projects. You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Procedure From the Administrator perspective in the OpenShift Container Platform web console, select Observe Metrics . To add one or more queries, do any of the following: Option Description Create a custom query. Add your Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) query to the Expression field. As you type a PromQL expression, autocomplete suggestions appear in a drop-down list. These suggestions include functions, metrics, labels, and time tokens. You can use the keyboard arrows to select one of these suggested items and then press Enter to add the item to your expression. You can also move your mouse pointer over a suggested item to view a brief description of that item. Add multiple queries. Select Add query . Duplicate an existing query. Select the Options menu to the query, then choose Duplicate query . Disable a query from being run. Select the Options menu to the query and choose Disable query . To run queries that you created, select Run queries . The metrics from the queries are visualized on the plot. If a query is invalid, the UI shows an error message. Note Queries that operate on large amounts of data might time out or overload the browser when drawing time series graphs. To avoid this, select Hide graph and calibrate your query using only the metrics table. Then, after finding a feasible query, enable the plot to draw the graphs. Note By default, the query table shows an expanded view that lists every metric and its current value. You can select ˅ to minimize the expanded view for a query. Optional: Save the page URL to use this set of queries again in the future. Explore the visualized metrics. Initially, all metrics from all enabled queries are shown on the plot. You can select which metrics are shown by doing any of the following: Option Description Hide all metrics from a query. Click the Options menu for the query and click Hide all series . Hide a specific metric. Go to the query table and click the colored square near the metric name. Zoom into the plot and change the time range. Either: Visually select the time range by clicking and dragging on the plot horizontally. Use the menu in the left upper corner to select the time range. Reset the time range. Select Reset zoom . Display outputs for all queries at a specific point in time. Hold the mouse cursor on the plot at that point. The query outputs will appear in a pop-up box. Hide the plot. Select Hide graph . 12.3.3. Querying metrics for user-defined projects with the OpenShift Container Platform web console You can use the OpenShift Container Platform metrics query browser to run Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) queries to examine metrics visualized on a plot. This functionality provides information about any user-defined workloads that you are monitoring. As a developer, you must specify a project name when querying metrics. You must have the required privileges to view metrics for the selected project. In the Developer perspective, the Metrics UI includes some predefined CPU, memory, bandwidth, and network packet queries for the selected project. You can also run custom Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) queries for CPU, memory, bandwidth, network packet and application metrics for the project. Note Developers can only use the Developer perspective and not the Administrator perspective. As a developer, you can only query metrics for one project at a time. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a developer or as a user with view permissions for the project that you are viewing metrics for. You have enabled monitoring for user-defined projects. You have deployed a service in a user-defined project. You have created a ServiceMonitor custom resource definition (CRD) for the service to define how the service is monitored. Procedure From the Developer perspective in the OpenShift Container Platform web console, select Observe Metrics . Select the project that you want to view metrics for from the Project: list. Select a query from the Select query list, or create a custom PromQL query based on the selected query by selecting Show PromQL . The metrics from the queries are visualized on the plot. Note In the Developer perspective, you can only run one query at a time. Explore the visualized metrics by doing any of the following: Option Description Zoom into the plot and change the time range. Either: Visually select the time range by clicking and dragging on the plot horizontally. Use the menu in the left upper corner to select the time range. Reset the time range. Select Reset zoom . Display outputs for all queries at a specific point in time. Hold the mouse cursor on the plot at that point. The query outputs appear in a pop-up box. 12.3.4. Virtualization metrics The following metric descriptions include example Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) queries. These metrics are not an API and might change between versions. For a complete list of virtualization metrics, see KubeVirt components metrics . Note The following examples use topk queries that specify a time period. If virtual machines are deleted during that time period, they can still appear in the query output. 12.3.4.1. vCPU metrics The following query can identify virtual machines that are waiting for Input/Output (I/O): kubevirt_vmi_vcpu_wait_seconds_total Returns the wait time (in seconds) for a virtual machine's vCPU. Type: Counter. A value above '0' means that the vCPU wants to run, but the host scheduler cannot run it yet. This inability to run indicates that there is an issue with I/O. Note To query the vCPU metric, the schedstats=enable kernel argument must first be applied to the MachineConfig object. This kernel argument enables scheduler statistics used for debugging and performance tuning and adds a minor additional load to the scheduler. Example vCPU wait time query topk(3, sum by (name, namespace) (rate(kubevirt_vmi_vcpu_wait_seconds_total[6m]))) > 0 1 1 This query returns the top 3 VMs waiting for I/O at every given moment over a six-minute time period. 12.3.4.2. Network metrics The following queries can identify virtual machines that are saturating the network: kubevirt_vmi_network_receive_bytes_total Returns the total amount of traffic received (in bytes) on the virtual machine's network.

Storage metrics 12.3.4.3.1. Storage-related traffic The following queries can identify VMs that are writing large amounts of data: kubevirt_vmi_storage_read_traffic_bytes_total Returns the total amount (in bytes) of the virtual machine's storage-related traffic. Type: Counter. kubevirt_vmi_storage_write_traffic_bytes_total Returns the total amount of storage writes (in bytes) of the virtual machine's storage-related traffic. Type: Counter. Example storage-related traffic query topk(3, sum by (name, namespace) (rate(kubevirt_vmi_storage_read_traffic_bytes_total[6m])) + sum by (name, namespace) (rate(kubevirt_vmi_storage_write_traffic_bytes_total[6m]))) > 0 1 1 This query returns the top 3 VMs performing the most storage traffic at every given moment over a six-minute time period. 12.3.4.3.2. Storage snapshot data kubevirt_vmsnapshot_disks_restored_from_source Returns the total number of virtual machine disks restored from the source virtual machine. Type: Gauge. kubevirt_vmsnapshot_disks_restored_from_source_bytes Returns the amount of space in bytes restored from the source virtual machine. Type: Gauge. Examples of storage snapshot data queries kubevirt_vmsnapshot_disks_restored_from_source{vm_name="simple-vm", vm_namespace="default"} 1 1 This query returns the total number of virtual machine disks restored from the source virtual machine. kubevirt_vmsnapshot_disks_restored_from_source_bytes{vm_name="simple-vm", vm_namespace="default"} 1 1 This query returns the amount of space in bytes restored from the source virtual machine. 12.3.4.3.3. I/O performance The following queries can determine the I/O performance of storage devices: kubevirt_vmi_storage_iops_read_total Returns the amount of write I/O operations the virtual machine is performing per second. Type: Counter. kubevirt_vmi_storage_iops_write_total Returns the amount of read I/O operations the virtual machine is performing per second. Type: Counter. Example I/O performance query topk(3, sum by (name, namespace) (rate(kubevirt_vmi_storage_iops_read_total[6m])) + sum by (name, namespace) (rate(kubevirt_vmi_storage_iops_write_total[6m]))) > 0 1 1 This query returns the top 3 VMs performing the most I/O operations per second at every given moment over a six-minute time period. 12.3.4.4. Guest memory swapping metrics The following queries can identify which swap-enabled guests are performing the most memory swapping: kubevirt_vmi_memory_swap_in_traffic_bytes Returns the total amount (in bytes) of memory the virtual guest is swapping in. Type: Gauge. kubevirt_vmi_memory_swap_out_traffic_bytes Returns the total amount (in bytes) of memory the virtual guest is swapping out. Type: Gauge. Example memory swapping query topk(3, sum by (name, namespace) (rate(kubevirt_vmi_memory_swap_in_traffic_bytes[6m])) + sum by (name, namespace) (rate(kubevirt_vmi_memory_swap_out_traffic_bytes[6m]))) > 0 1 1 This query returns the top 3 VMs where the guest is performing the most memory swapping at every given moment over a six-minute time period. Note Memory swapping indicates that the virtual machine is under memory pressure. Increasing the memory allocation of the virtual machine can mitigate this issue. 12.3.4.5. Live migration metrics The following metrics can be queried to show live migration status: kubevirt_vmi_migration_data_processed_bytes The amount of guest operating system data that has migrated to the new virtual machine (VM).

Additional resources About OpenShift Container Platform monitoring Querying Prometheus Prometheus query examples 12.4. Exposing custom metrics for virtual machines OpenShift Container Platform includes a preconfigured, preinstalled, and self-updating monitoring stack that provides monitoring for core platform components. This monitoring stack is based on the Prometheus monitoring system. Prometheus is a time-series database and a rule evaluation engine for metrics. In addition to using the OpenShift Container Platform monitoring stack, you can enable monitoring for user-defined projects by using the CLI and query custom metrics that are exposed for virtual machines through the node-exporter service. 12.4.1. Configuring the node exporter service The node-exporter agent is deployed on every virtual machine in the cluster from which you want to collect metrics. Configure the node-exporter agent as a service to expose internal metrics and processes that are associated with virtual machines. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI oc . Log in to the cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Create the cluster-monitoring-config ConfigMap object in the openshift-monitoring project. Configure the user-workload-monitoring-config ConfigMap object in the openshift-user-workload-monitoring project by setting enableUserWorkload to true . Procedure Create the Service YAML file. In the following example, the file is called node-exporter-service.yaml . kind: Service apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: node-exporter-service 1 namespace: dynamation 2 labels: servicetype: metrics 3 spec: ports: - name: exmet 4 protocol: TCP port: 9100 5 targetPort: 9100 6 type: ClusterIP selector: monitor: metrics 7 1 The node-exporter service that exposes the metrics from the virtual machines. 2 The namespace where the service is created. 3 The label for the service. The ServiceMonitor uses this label to match this service. 4 The name given to the port that exposes metrics on port 9100 for the ClusterIP service. 5 The target port used by node-exporter-service to listen for requests. 6 The TCP port number of the virtual machine that is configured with the monitor label. 7 The label used to match the virtual machine's pods. In this example, any virtual machine's pod with the label monitor and a value of metrics will be matched. Create the node-exporter service: USD oc create -f node-exporter-service.yaml 12.4.2. Configuring a virtual machine with the node exporter service Download the node-exporter file on to the virtual machine. Then, create a systemd service that runs the node-exporter service when the virtual machine boots. Prerequisites The pods for the component are running in the openshift-user-workload-monitoring project. Grant the monitoring-edit role to users who need to monitor this user-defined project. Procedure Log on to the virtual machine. Download the node-exporter file on to the virtual machine by using the directory path that applies to the version of node-exporter file. USD wget https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/download/v1.3.1/node_exporter-1.3.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz Extract the executable and place it in the /usr/bin directory.

Creating a custom monitoring label for virtual machines To enable queries to multiple virtual machines from a single service, add a custom label in the virtual machine's YAML file. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI oc . Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Access to the web console for stop and restart a virtual machine. Procedure Edit the template spec of your virtual machine configuration file. In this example, the label monitor has the value metrics . spec: template: metadata: labels: monitor: metrics Stop and restart the virtual machine to create a new pod with the label name given to the monitor label. 12.4.3.1. Querying the node-exporter service for metrics Metrics are exposed for virtual machines through an HTTP service endpoint under the /metrics canonical name. When you query for metrics, Prometheus directly scrapes the metrics from the metrics endpoint exposed by the virtual machines and presents these metrics for viewing. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges or the monitoring-edit role. You have enabled monitoring for the user-defined project by configuring the node-exporter service. Procedure Obtain the HTTP service endpoint by specifying the namespace for the service: USD oc get service -n <namespace> <node-exporter-service> To list all available metrics for the node-exporter service, query the metrics resource.

Virtual machine health checks You can configure virtual machine (VM) health checks by defining readiness and liveness probes in the VirtualMachine resource. 12.6.1. About readiness and liveness probes Use readiness and liveness probes to detect and handle unhealthy virtual machines (VMs). You can include one or more probes in the specification of the VM to ensure that traffic does not reach a VM that is not ready for it and that a new VM is created when a VM becomes unresponsive. A readiness probe determines whether a VM is ready to accept service requests. If the probe fails, the VM is removed from the list of available endpoints until the VM is ready. A liveness probe determines whether a VM is responsive. If the probe fails, the VM is deleted and a new VM is created to restore responsiveness. You can configure readiness and liveness probes by setting the spec.readinessProbe and the spec.livenessProbe fields of the VirtualMachine object. These fields support the following tests: HTTP GET The probe determines the health of the VM by using a web hook. The test is successful if the HTTP response code is between 200 and 399. You can use an HTTP GET test with applications that return HTTP status codes when they are completely initialized. TCP socket The probe attempts to open a socket to the VM. The VM is only considered healthy if the probe can establish a connection. You can use a TCP socket test with applications that do not start listening until initialization is complete. Guest agent ping The probe uses the guest-ping command to determine if the QEMU guest agent is running on the virtual machine. 12.6.1.1. Defining an HTTP readiness probe Define an HTTP readiness probe by setting the spec.readinessProbe.httpGet field of the virtual machine (VM) configuration. Procedure Include details of the readiness probe in the VM configuration file. Sample readiness probe with an HTTP GET test apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1 kind: VirtualMachine metadata: annotations: name: fedora-vm namespace: example-namespace # ... spec: template: spec: readinessProbe: httpGet: 1 port: 1500 2 path: /healthz 3 httpHeaders: - name: Custom-Header value: Awesome initialDelaySeconds: 120 4 periodSeconds: 20 5 timeoutSeconds: 10 6 failureThreshold: 3 7 successThreshold: 3 8 # ... 1 The HTTP GET request to perform to connect to the VM. 2 The port of the VM that the probe queries. In the above example, the probe queries port 1500. 3 The path to access on the HTTP server. In the above example, if the handler for the server's /healthz path returns a success code, the VM is considered to be healthy. If the handler returns a failure code, the VM is removed from the list of available endpoints. 4 The time, in seconds, after the VM starts before the readiness probe is initiated. 5 The delay, in seconds, between performing probes. The default delay is 10 seconds. This value must be greater than timeoutSeconds . 6 The number of seconds of inactivity after which the probe times out and the VM is assumed to have failed. The default value is 1. This value must be lower than periodSeconds . 7 The number of times that the probe is allowed to fail. The default is 3. After the specified number of attempts, the pod is marked Unready . 8 The number of times that the probe must report success, after a failure, to be considered successful. The default is 1. Create the VM by running the following command: USD oc create -f <file_name>.yaml 12.6.1.2. Defining a TCP readiness probe Define a TCP readiness probe by setting the spec.readinessProbe.tcpSocket field of the virtual machine (VM) configuration. Procedure Include details of the TCP readiness probe in the VM configuration file. Sample readiness probe with a TCP socket test apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1 kind: VirtualMachine metadata: annotations: name: fedora-vm namespace: example-namespace # ... spec: template: spec: readinessProbe: initialDelaySeconds: 120 1 periodSeconds: 20 2 tcpSocket: 3 port: 1500 4 timeoutSeconds: 10 5 # ... 1 The time, in seconds, after the VM starts before the readiness probe is initiated. 2 The delay, in seconds, between performing probes. The default delay is 10 seconds. This value must be greater than timeoutSeconds . 3 The TCP action to perform. 4 The port of the VM that the probe queries. 5 The number of seconds of inactivity after which the probe times out and the VM is assumed to have failed. The default value is 1. This value must be lower than periodSeconds . Create the VM by running the following command: USD oc create -f <file_name>.yaml 12.6.1.3. Defining an HTTP liveness probe Define an HTTP liveness probe by setting the spec.livenessProbe.httpGet field of the virtual machine (VM) configuration. You can define both HTTP and TCP tests for liveness probes in the same way as readiness probes. This procedure configures a sample liveness probe with an HTTP GET test. Procedure Include details of the HTTP liveness probe in the VM configuration file. Sample liveness probe with an HTTP GET test apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1 kind: VirtualMachine metadata: annotations: name: fedora-vm namespace: example-namespace # ... spec: template: spec: livenessProbe: initialDelaySeconds: 120 1 periodSeconds: 20 2 httpGet: 3 port: 1500 4 path: /healthz 5 httpHeaders: - name: Custom-Header value: Awesome timeoutSeconds: 10 6 # ... 1 The time, in seconds, after the VM starts before the liveness probe is initiated. 2 The delay, in seconds, between performing probes. The default delay is 10 seconds. This value must be greater than timeoutSeconds . 3 The HTTP GET request to perform to connect to the VM. 4 The port of the VM that the probe queries. In the above example, the probe queries port 1500. The VM installs and runs a minimal HTTP server on port 1500 via cloud-init. 5 The path to access on the HTTP server. In the above example, if the handler for the server's /healthz path returns a success code, the VM is considered to be healthy. If the handler returns a failure code, the VM is deleted and a new VM is created. 6 The number of seconds of inactivity after which the probe times out and the VM is assumed to have failed. The default value is 1. This value must be lower than periodSeconds . Create the VM by running the following command: USD oc create -f <file_name>.yaml 12.6.2. Defining a watchdog You can define a watchdog to monitor the health of the guest operating system by performing the following steps: Configure a watchdog device for the virtual machine (VM). Install the watchdog agent on the guest. The watchdog device monitors the agent and performs one of the following actions if the guest operating system is unresponsive: poweroff : The VM powers down immediately. If spec.running is set to true or spec.runStrategy is not set to manual , then the VM reboots. reset : The VM reboots in place and the guest operating system cannot react. Note The reboot time might cause liveness probes to time out. If cluster-level protections detect a failed liveness probe, the VM might be forcibly rescheduled, increasing the reboot time. shutdown : The VM gracefully powers down by stopping all services. Note Watchdog is not available for Windows VMs. 12.6.2.1. Configuring a watchdog device for the virtual machine You configure a watchdog device for the virtual machine (VM). Prerequisites The VM must have kernel support for an i6300esb watchdog device. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) images support i6300esb . Procedure Create a YAML file with the following contents: apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1 kind: VirtualMachine metadata: labels: kubevirt.io/vm: vm2-rhel84-watchdog name: <vm-name> spec: running: false template: metadata: labels: kubevirt.io/vm: vm2-rhel84-watchdog spec: domain: devices: watchdog: name: <watchdog> i6300esb: action: "poweroff" 1 # ... 1 Specify poweroff , reset , or shutdown . The example above configures the i6300esb watchdog device on a RHEL8 VM with the poweroff action and exposes the device as /dev/watchdog . This device can now be used by the watchdog binary. Apply the YAML file to your cluster by running the following command: USD oc apply -f <file_name>.yaml Important This procedure is provided for testing watchdog functionality only and must not be run on production machines. Run the following command to verify that the VM is connected to the watchdog device: USD lspci | grep watchdog -i Run one of the following commands to confirm the watchdog is active: Trigger a kernel panic: # echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger Stop the watchdog service: # pkill -9 watchdog 12.6.2.2. Installing the watchdog agent on the guest You install the watchdog agent on the guest and start the watchdog service. Procedure Log in to the virtual machine as root user. Install the watchdog package and its dependencies: # yum install watchdog Uncomment the following line in the /etc/watchdog.conf file and save the changes: #watchdog-device = /dev/watchdog Enable the watchdog service to start on boot: # systemctl enable --now watchdog.service 12.6.3. Defining a guest agent ping probe Define a guest agent ping probe by setting the spec.readinessProbe.guestAgentPing field of the virtual machine (VM) configuration. Important The guest agent ping probe is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . Prerequisites The QEMU guest agent must be installed and enabled on the virtual machine. Procedure Include details of the guest agent ping probe in the VM configuration file. For example: Sample guest agent ping probe apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1 kind: VirtualMachine metadata: annotations: name: fedora-vm namespace: example-namespace # ... spec: template: spec: readinessProbe: guestAgentPing: {} 1 initialDelaySeconds: 120 2 periodSeconds: 20 3 timeoutSeconds: 10 4 failureThreshold: 3 5 successThreshold: 3 6 # ... 1 The guest agent ping probe to connect to the VM. 2 Optional: The time, in seconds, after the VM starts before the guest agent probe is initiated. 3 Optional: The delay, in seconds, between performing probes. The default delay is 10 seconds. This value must be greater than timeoutSeconds . 4 Optional: The number of seconds of inactivity after which the probe times out and the VM is assumed to have failed. The default value is 1. This value must be lower than periodSeconds . 5 Optional: The number of times that the probe is allowed to fail. The default is 3. After the specified number of attempts, the pod is marked Unready . 6 Optional: The number of times that the probe must report success, after a failure, to be considered successful. The default is 1. Create the VM by running the following command: USD oc create -f <file_name>.yaml 12.6.4. Additional resources Monitoring application health by using health checks 12.7.
