Changes

  • Adds parseable_process_cpu_limit_cores alongside the existing process CPU usage metric.
  • The CPU limit is read from cgroup v2, with cgroup v1 and available logical CPU fallbacks if it failed from any one of this.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Process metrics now report the CPU limit in cores when available. Systems without a detectable limit report zero.
    • CPU limit data is included in the initial process metrics sample.

Walkthrough

The process metrics now include a CPU-limit value detected from Linux cgroup v2 or v1 data. The value is recorded in a new gauge. Missing or invalid limits, and limits on non-Linux platforms, are reported as zero.

Changes

Process CPU limit metric

Layer / File(s) Summary
Detect CPU limits
Cargo.toml, src/handlers/http/resource_check.rs
Linux builds add cgroup CPU-limit detection. The helper reads v2 quota data or falls back to v1 quota and period files. It returns zero when no valid limit is available.
Record and expose CPU limits
src/metrics/mod.rs, src/main.rs, src/handlers/http/resource_check.rs
Process samples pass the detected limit to the metrics recorder. The recorder updates the registered process_cpu_limit_cores gauge.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3f3b6

The new CPU limit metric may report a value that is too high, or zero when no cgroup limit is found. Dashboards that divide usage by the limit could be misleading. Resolve these two open items before merging.

A rabbit checks the quota file,
Then counts the cores with care.
The gauge records the limit found,
Or zero when none’s there.
Hop, hop, metrics now declare!

`cgroup_limit` to inspect applicable ancestor cgroups and use the most
restrictive quota across the process’s cgroup hierarchy. Preserve support for
both v2 `cpu.max` and v1 quota/period files, including unlimited quotas.
- Around line 43-45: Update the CPU quota lookup around CGROUP_V2_CPU_MAX_PATH,
CGROUP_V1_CPU_QUOTA_PATH, and CGROUP_V1_CPU_PERIOD_PATH to resolve the process’s
cgroup membership and the applicable CPU-controller mount before reading quota
files. Build the lookup paths from that membership and mount so nested cgroups
report the process’s quota.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Account for quotas imposed by ancestor cgroups.

Reading one cpu.max or v1 quota pair does not establish the effective CPU limit. If the selected cgroup has an unlimited quota or a quota above its parent's limit, this code reports logical CPUs or the higher child quota even though the parent restricts the process. Inspect applicable ancestors and use the most restrictive effective limit. (cdn.kernel.org)
