Adds intervals for two ways control-plane nodes get into trouble during CI: memory thrashing (a new monitor test plus an autodl table) and CPU saturation (new intervals from the existing CPU monitor test). Memory thrashing reports a flaking test when it's detected, so we can see which jobs hit it and how often without failing jobs. CPU saturation is recorded as intervals only.

Why

In failed runs of periodic-ci-openshift-release-main-ci-5.1-e2e-aws-ovn-techpreview, one master ran short of memory. It evicted its page cache, then re-read about 120 MB/s from disk, which saturated the disk. The etcd member on that master stalled (WAL fsync and commit p99 of several seconds), the local kube-apiserver hung and was restarted, and many unrelated tests timed out. The root cause, control-plane singleton operators piling onto one master, is tracked in OCPBUGS-131892. Today nothing in CI shows this happening.

What it does

memory-thrashing-collector follows the same pattern as cpu-metric-collector and etcd-disk-metrics-intervals: range queries at 30s steps from the start of monitoring.

  • Trigger: two queries per node, rate(node_vmstat_pgmajfault[1m]) and rate(node_vmstat_pgpgin[1m]) / 1024. Runs of samples with more than 50 major faults/s and more than 50 MB/s paged in from disk become a MemoryMonitor / MemoryThrashing interval on the node. Each sample counts for its full 30s step, so short spikes keep a real duration, and a gap in the samples ends the interval.
  • Why both: the fault count alone can't tell harmless pressure from the damaging case. Bursts of faults on small pages (up to ~2,000/s but only a few MB/s) showed no harm, while the stalls read back 100+ MB/s. The stalled run in the table below actually had fewer faults (132/s) than most harmless bursts.
  • Autodl table node_memory_thrashing_intervals: one row per interval with NodeName, NodeRole, StartTime, EndTime, DurationSeconds, PeakMajorFaultsPerSecond, PeakPageInMBPerSecond.
  • Per-run totals: MemoryMonitor is added to interval-duration-sum, so every run records a total (including 0), which separates "no thrashing" from "the monitor didn't run".
  • Timeline chart: a memory-thrashing row next to high-cpu.

CPU saturation

cpu-metric-collector now also records CPUSaturation / CPURunQueueSaturation intervals. CPU usage tops out at 100% and hides how backed up a node is; run-queue wait keeps growing.

  • Query: sum by (instance) (rate(node_schedstat_waiting_seconds_total[1m])) / count by (instance) (node_cpu_seconds_total{mode="idle"}), the CPU-seconds threads spend waiting to run, per second per core. Runs of at least two consecutive samples (one minute) above 4 become an interval, with the same step-based durations and gap handling as memory thrashing.
  • Separate source: the intervals get their own cpu-saturation row in the timeline (separate from high-cpu, even for the same node), and the high CPU test overlap analyzer only looks at HighCPUUsage, so high_cpu_e2e_tests is unaffected.
  • No test result: CPU saturation is recorded as intervals (timeline and interval-duration-sum) only. See calibration below for why.
  • Why: in this failed run, [sig-network][Feature:Router] The HAProxy router should serve a route that points to two services and respect weights failed with etcdserver: request timed out during an etcd leader election at 13:58:50 UTC. There was no memory thrashing and disks were normal (0.9 ms), but the old leader's master (4 cores) had threads waiting 20–28 CPU-seconds per second, and etcd fsync rose to 30–50 ms. The existing 95% HighCPUUsage threshold flagged it only from 13:53:40 to 13:55:10; the new intervals cover 13:57:30–13:59:00 with a peak of 6.5 per core.
  • Calibration: in that run, workers never exceeded 1.9 per core, while the three masters spent 10–27 minutes above 4. Saturation on masters is common during e2e and doesn't predict elections on its own (the new leader later ran at 8.6 per core without losing leadership). Three passing periodic-ci-openshift-release-main-ci-5.1-upgrade-from-stable-5.0-e2e-aws-ovn-upgrade runs also showed saturation on masters in every run, from two causes:
    • Single-sample blips on busy masters, which the one-minute minimum removes.
    • The oc adm must-gather e2e tests, which run several must-gathers at once on one master and saturate it for 5–10 minutes in nearly every run (load ~166 on 4 cores, ~300 runnable threads, ~68 waiting per core). In one run, 9 [sig-cli] oc adm must-gather tests all started at 06:38:14.
    • Memory thrashing recorded nothing in any of the three runs.

Calibration

Run against two jobs' gather-extra Prometheus snapshots, over their e2e windows:

Run Result
2102374130580983808 (AWS, failed) Peak 132 faults/s and 125 MB/s paged in on the stalled master at 15:01–15:06 UTC, matching the etcd stall (multi-second fsync) and kube-apiserver restart. Recorded. Eight milder bursts on another master (≤9 MB/s) are not.
2109982696762511360 (AWS, failed) About 130 MB/s of disk reads during the same kind of stall. Recorded.
2108307618198982656 (AWS, passed) Bursts up to 1,800 faults/s but ≤13 MB/s paged in. Not recorded.
This PR's e2e-gcp-ovn and e2e-gcp-ovn-upgrade runs Bursts up to 2,152 faults/s but ≤12 MB/s paged in. etcd fsync peaked at 13.5 ms, no disruption, and the failing tests had other causes (router rollouts on CPU-saturated workers, a broken oc test). Not recorded.

Healthy nodes stayed under about 10 major faults/s and 20 MB/s paged in. The 50 MB/s cutoff rests on two severe examples, so the peaks are stored with each interval to revisit it once there's more CI data.

Testing

  • Unit tests for interval construction in both collectors (thresholds, consecutive samples, end of window, step-based durations, gaps, peak tracking, unknown nodes) and for the flake results (intervals give a failure plus a pass, none give a pass, other sources are ignored).
  • The CPU saturation logic was also run against the failed run's Prometheus snapshot, producing the intervals described above.
  • The calibration above was done by running the collection against each job's Prometheus snapshot loaded locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Cluster stability checks now identify CPU run-queue saturation and memory-thrashing periods.
    • Detected periods appear in dedicated CPU saturation and memory-thrashing timeline groups, including peak metrics where available.
    • CPU saturation and memory-monitor intervals are included in duration summaries and downloadable test artifacts.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Missing metric samples and below-threshold readings now split detected periods, preventing gaps from being counted as continuous events.
    • CPU saturation overlapping displayed end-to-end intervals is excluded from duplicate failure reporting.

Adds MemoryMonitor/MemoryThrashing intervals for nodes whose major page
fault rate stays above 50/s, plus a node_memory_thrashing_intervals autodl
table so we can measure how often and how long nodes thrash across CI.

In failed runs of e2e-aws-ovn-techpreview, a master short on memory
evicted its page cache and re-read ~120 MB/s from disk, stalling the etcd
member on it (multi-second fsync/commit) and hanging the local
kube-apiserver. Each interval also records the peak page-in rate, which
separates mild pressure (a few MB/s) from disk-saturating thrashing.

MemoryMonitor is added to interval-duration-sum so every run records a
total, including zero, and the timeline chart gets a memory-thrashing row.

Details

In response to this:

Adds a monitor test that records intervals when a node is thrashing memory, and an autodl table so we can see how often and how long it happens across CI.

Why

In failed runs of periodic-ci-openshift-release-main-ci-5.1-e2e-aws-ovn-techpreview, one master ran short of memory. It evicted its page cache, then re-read about 120 MB/s from disk, which saturated the disk. The etcd member on that master stalled (WAL fsync and commit p99 of several seconds), the local kube-apiserver hung and was restarted, and many unrelated tests timed out. The root cause, control-plane singleton operators piling onto one master, is tracked in OCPBUGS-131892. Today nothing in CI shows this happening.

What it does

memory-thrashing-collector follows the same pattern as cpu-metric-collector and etcd-disk-metrics-intervals: range queries at 30s steps from the start of monitoring.

  • Trigger: rate(node_vmstat_pgmajfault[1m]) per node. Runs of samples above 50 major faults/s become a MemoryMonitor / MemoryThrashing interval on the node. Each sample counts for its full 30s step, so short spikes keep a real duration.
  • Severity: rate(node_vmstat_pgpgin[1m]) / 1024, used only to record the peak MB/s paged in during each interval. The fault count alone can't tell mild pressure (small pages, a few MB/s) from the disk-saturating case (100+ MB/s).
  • Autodl table node_memory_thrashing_intervals: one row per interval with NodeName, NodeRole, StartTime, EndTime, DurationSeconds, PeakMajorFaultsPerSecond, PeakPageInMBPerSecond.
  • Per-run totals: MemoryMonitor is added to interval-duration-sum, so every run records a total (including 0), which separates "no thrashing" from "the monitor didn't run".
  • Timeline chart: a memory-thrashing row next to high-cpu.

Like the other collectors, it is data collection only and produces no failing tests. A collection error is reported as a flake.

Calibration

Run against two jobs' gather-extra Prometheus snapshots, over their e2e windows:

Run Result
2102374130580983808 (failed) One interval on the stalled master, 15:01:25–15:05:55 UTC, peak 132 faults/s and 125 MB/s paged in. This matches the etcd stall and kube-apiserver restart exactly. Eight milder intervals on another master, ≤9 MB/s.
2108307618198982656 (passed) Six mild intervals on one master, up to 1,800 faults/s but ≤13 MB/s paged in.

Healthy nodes stayed under about 10 major faults/s in both runs. The peaks are stored, so the cutoff can be revisited in BigQuery without re-running anything.

Testing

  • Unit tests for interval construction (thresholds, consecutive samples, end of window, step-based durations, peak tracking, unknown nodes).
  • functional_test.go runs collection against a real Prometheus and skips unless PROMETHEUS_URL, START_TIME and END_TIME are set. It needs no cluster, so it works against a CI job's Prometheus snapshot loaded locally.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

No changed Ginkgo test titles were introduced. The added Go tests use static Test... names and static t.Run case names. The new JUnit test names are fixed constants ([sig-node] nodes should not be CPU saturated and [sig-node] nodes should not be thrashing memory); node names and timestamps appear only in test data or failure output, not titles. No legacy metadata prefix tokens appear in the added names.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds or modifies standard Go tests using testing.T, t.Run, and testify; it does not add Ginkgo It blocks. No Ginkgo setup, cleanup, cluster waits, or informing-status changes are in scope.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

The pull request adds standard Go unit tests only (func Test... with testing and testify). It adds no Ginkgo e2e tests (It, Describe, Context, or When), so the MicroShift API and feature compatibility check does not apply.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds Go unit tests and monitor-collector logic, not new Ginkgo e2e tests. The added tests use testing.T and synthetic Prometheus matrices; they do not create pods, schedule workloads, inspect cluster topology, or require multiple nodes. The master-0 and master-1 values are test metric labels only.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only Go monitoring/test code and chart data. The authoritative diff contains no deployment manifests, controllers, operator scheduling code, or scheduling constraints such as affinity, topology spread, node selectors, tolerations, replica strategies, or PDBs. The master and worker matches are node-role metadata used for interval labeling, not workload scheduling.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

No OTE stdout contract violation was introduced. The reviewed diff adds no main(), init(), TestMain(), suite setup, RunSpecs setup, os.Stdout write, fmt.Print, standard-log stdout write, or klog write. The logrus calls are inside monitor collector methods and use logrus' normal logging path, not direct stdout output.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

The pull request adds standard Go unit tests (func Test...), not new Ginkgo e2e tests. The only hardcoded IPv4 value is the 10.0.0.5:9100 fixture in a unit test. Collector code uses in-cluster Prometheus and Kubernetes APIs; no public host, external URL, or image pull was added.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

The pull-request diff adds monitoring, Prometheus queries, interval metadata, and chart filters. It adds no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, 3DES, Blowfish, ECB, crypto API, custom crypto, or secret/token comparison. The added comparisons concern interval sources, reasons, and test names.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

The pull request changes monitoring code, tests, chart HTML, and generated bindata only. The reviewed diff adds no Kubernetes/container manifests and contains none of: privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation, securityContext, capabilities, or root-user settings.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

The concern remains unresolved. The new memory collector logs raw collection errors with logger.WithError(err) and copies them into JUnit FailureOutput (monitortest.go:90-95). It logs raw node-list errors (:137) and Prometheus warnings (:175). The collector also newly invokes EnsureThanosQueriersConnectedToPromSidecars, whose shared helper logs raw warnings and wrapped errors (pkg/monitortestlibrary/prometheus/prometheus.go:28-31, 44-47). The CPU change adds another raw run-queue warning log (cpumetriccollector/monitortest.go:173-174) and exposes its query errors through the existing raw collection-error output. These paths may disclose request details, internal hostnames, or other infrastructure data.

Resolution

Sanitize collection and node-list errors before logging or writing JUnit FailureOutput. Replace raw Prometheus and Thanos warning logging with fixed operation names and safe error categories. Sanitize the shared Thanos helper path used by the new collector. Avoid logging raw storage paths and interval strings containing node names; log only fixed filenames, counts, or safe summaries.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 21 functions across 7 files. (2 skipped: 1 unsupported, 1 too large.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

@coderabbitai Re the pre-merge checks on e7b5c6d:

  • Docstring Coverage: added doc comments to the collector's constructor and helper functions in 7229779. The MonitorTest interface methods are left without them, matching the sibling collectors (cpu-metric-collector, etcd-disk-metrics-intervals).
  • No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs: I don't think this applies here. The logged errors and warnings come from Prometheus range queries against an ephemeral CI cluster: query strings, HTTP status and route hostnames. client_golang does not include credentials in its error strings, and nothing else is logged. Sanitizing them would make collection failures impossible to debug from the job output, and the sibling collectors log errors and query warnings the same way. Leaving this as is.

@dgoodwin Thanks for the clarification.

  • Docstring Coverage: I verified the constructor and helper doc comments. This addresses the coverage concern. Leaving the MonitorTest interface methods without repetitive comments is reasonable.
  • No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs: I withdraw this concern. The queries use fixed metric expressions, and the sibling CPU and etcd collectors also log Prometheus warnings. I did not identify a concrete sensitive-data exposure that warrants sanitizing these diagnostics.

No further changes are needed for these two concerns.

Reason: Additive-only PR: new memory-thrashing-collector monitor test following the cpu-metric-collector pattern. All changes are new code or single-line additions to existing slices/registries; no existing behavior modified. Errors are reported as flakes. GCP e2e verifies the collector integrates cleanly with the monitoring framework. GCP upgrade exercises it during the upgrade scenario that motivated the PR (memory pressure from control-plane operators piling onto one master), and covers the intervaldurationsum tracking addition.

Reason: Selection unchanged. e2e-gcp-ovn-upgrade passed. e2e-gcp-ovn failed on an unrelated [sig-node] init container liveness probe conformance test; rerunning. The PR is additive-only (new memory-thrashing-collector monitor), no existing behavior modified.

Reason: results_settled: all dispatched jobs finished. e2e-gcp-ovn-upgrade passed. e2e-gcp-ovn failed twice on two different unrelated tests (run 1: [sig-node] init container liveness probe; run 2: [sig-network-edge][Feature:IngressOperator] routeSelector matchExpressions). Override justified: 1. Causal overlap: NONE. PR adds a purely additive memory-thrashing-collector monitor test querying Prometheus for node_vmstat_pgmajfault/pgpgin metrics. No networking, ingress, routing, or shared config is modified. The failing tests exercise IngressController route selection and init container lifecycle — zero intersection with memory metric data collection. 2. Fleet instability: [sig-network-edge] routeSelector test has 90.8% pass rate on GCP (8/87 failures, 24/449 overall OVN). No linked bugs. [sig-node] init container test also failed in run 1 with a different mechanism. 3. Coverage: 2161 tests passed in this run. e2e-gcp-ovn-upgrade passed, exercising the same binary/images. The monitor test framework executed. 4. Two different unrelated tests failing across two runs confirms fleet flakiness, not a PR regression.

Bursts of major faults on small pages (a few MB/s paged in) showed no
harm across the AWS and GCP runs checked: etcd fsync stayed near 10ms and
failing tests had other causes. The two runs where etcd stalled for
seconds and the kube-apiserver was restarted read back 120-130 MB/s.
Only record an interval when faults exceed 50/s and page-in exceeds
50 MB/s.

  • pull-ci-openshift-origin-main-e2e-gcp-ovn

Reason: This PR adds a new memory-thrashing-collector monitor test — pure data collection with no test assertions. Every changed line is additive; no existing code paths, assertions, or test logic are modified. Changed surfaces: - New memorythrashingcollector package: queries Prometheus for major-fault rate and page-in rate, records MemoryMonitor/MemoryThrashing intervals when both exceed thresholds (50 faults/s, 50 MB/s). Collection errors → flake (double JUnit pattern). No failing tests produced. - Registration in types.go via AddMonitorTestOrDie in both default and disruptive registries, following the same pattern as cpu-metric-collector. - New SourceMemoryMonitor constant in monitorapi/types.go. - Added SourceMemoryMonitor to intervaldurationsum sources (informational tracking, no assertions). - New memory-thrashing timeline group in e2e-chart-template.html + bindata (visual only). Selection rationale: e2e-gcp-ovn verifies the collector integrates correctly with a real OCP cluster and Prometheus without breaking anything. One standard e2e is sufficient because: - First-stage unit tests cover interval construction logic (thresholds, consecutive samples, gaps, peaks, unknown nodes, missing page-in data). - The collector follows the established pattern of existing collectors (cpu-metric-collector, etcd-disk-metrics-intervals). - The code handles missing openshift-monitoring namespace (apierrors.IsNotFound → empty return) and Prometheus errors (→ flake). - The collector's behavior is identical across clouds, topologies, and upgrade vs. non-upgrade. Jobs not selected: - e2e-aws-csi, e2e-gcp-csi: No storage/CSI/volume/vendor changes. - e2e-aws-jenkins: No Jenkins changes. - e2e-aws-ovn-image-registry: No image/registry changes. - e2e-aws-ovn-kubevirt, e2e-baremetalds-kubevirt: No KubeVirt changes. - e2e-gcp-ovn-builds: No build code changes. - e2e-gcp-ovn-image-ecosystem: No image ecosystem changes. - e2e-aws-ovn-upgrade-rollback: No upgrade code changes. - e2e-gcp-ovn-upgrade: Annotation matches .*monitor.*, but collector behavior is identical during upgrade — it queries Prometheus at collection time regardless. e2e-gcp-ovn provides equivalent integration verification. - e2e-aws-ovn-fips: FIPS mode doesn't affect Prometheus queries or interval logic. - e2e-aws-ovn-microshift, e2e-aws-ovn-microshift-serial: MicroShift lacks openshift-monitoring; collector handles this with an IsNotFound early return. No additional signal. - e2e-aws-ovn-serial-1of2, e2e-aws-ovn-serial-2of2: Serial tests exercise different test ordering but the monitor framework runs identically. - e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6: Different topology, same monitor framework behavior. - e2e-metal-ovn-two-node-arbiter, e2e-metal-ovn-two-node-fencing: No baremetal/ironic/edge changes. - e2e-vsphere-ovn, e2e-vsphere-ovn-upi: Annotation ^$ never matches any file.

Reason: Results settled: both selected jobs failed during GCP cluster installation with no e2e test execution. e2e-gcp-ovn (run https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/test-platform-results-public/pr-logs/pull/31766/pull-ci-openshift-origin-main-e2e-gcp-ovn/2112628191242752000): Failed at ipi-install-install after 20m53s. Root cause: GCP IAM ETag race condition — googleapi: Error 409: There were concurrent policy changes. Please retry the whole read-modify-write with exponential backoff. (line 263). The cluster never installed; no tests ran. e2e-gcp-ovn-upgrade (run https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/test-platform-results-public/pr-logs/pull/31766/pull-ci-openshift-origin-main-e2e-gcp-ovn-upgrade/2112623543731621888): Failed at ipi-install-install-stableinitial after 59m52s. Root cause: bootstrap timed out (line 429/515) — etcd had only 1 of 2 members available, ingress was unavailable due to worker nodes not being schedulable (untolerated taints), and DNS zone provisioning failed. The cluster never completed installation; no tests ran. Both failures are GCP infrastructure provisioning issues with no causal relationship to the PR changes. The PR adds two new monitor test collectors (CPU saturation detection via node_schedstat_waiting_seconds_total in cpumetriccollector, and a new memorythrashingcollector querying node_vmstat_pgmajfault / node_vmstat_pgpgin), plus e2e chart template updates and interval duration sum tracking. None of these changes affect cluster installation, IAM policy operations, bootstrap processes, or node scheduling. Rerunning both jobs to obtain actual test execution signal.

A payload run on this PR (e2e-aws-ovn plus five e2e-aws-ovn-techpreview
runs) flaked the CPU saturation test in all six runs even with
must-gather excluded. Techpreview masters spent 40-57 minutes saturated
per run versus about 10 on e2e-aws-ovn, and failing runs looked no
different from passing ones. Even at a threshold of 8 per core five of
six runs would still flake.

Drop the flake and the must-gather exclusion. Keep the CPUSaturation
intervals (timeline row and interval-duration-sum) so saturation can
still be queried per job.

  • pull-ci-openshift-origin-main-e2e-gcp-ovn

Reason: This PR adds purely additive monitoring code — a new memory thrashing collector and CPU saturation detection in the existing CPU collector — that runs during e2e data collection but does not change any test outcomes (memory thrashing flakes at worst; CPU saturation is interval-only with no JUnit output). All first-stage checks passed (unit tests, build, images, lint, verify, verify-deps). Selected: e2e-gcp-ovn — verifies the new Prometheus queries (node_vmstat_pgmajfault, node_vmstat_pgpgin, node_schedstat_waiting_seconds_total) execute against a real cluster with openshift-monitoring, intervals flow through the monitoring pipeline, interval-duration-sum tracks the new sources, and the e2e chart renders the new timeline rows. Not selected (no changed surface exercised): - CSI/storage jobs: no storage, CSI, or volume code changed - Jenkins, builds, image registry, image ecosystem: no domain-specific code changed - KubeVirt: no kubevirt test changes - Upgrade/rollback: no upgrade test code changed; monitoring runs identically during upgrades - Two-node baremetal: no baremetal/ironic/edge code changed - vSphere: annotation ^$, not PR-triggered - MicroShift: lacks openshift-monitoring, exercises only the trivial early-return path - FIPS/serial/metal-IPv6: same monitoring collection code; platform/topology/mode irrelevant to data collection

Details

In response to this:

Adds intervals for two ways control-plane nodes get into trouble during CI: memory thrashing (a new monitor test plus an autodl table) and CPU saturation (new intervals from the existing CPU monitor test). Memory thrashing reports a flaking test when it's detected, so we can see which jobs hit it and how often without failing jobs. CPU saturation is recorded as intervals only.

Why

In failed runs of periodic-ci-openshift-release-main-ci-5.1-e2e-aws-ovn-techpreview, one master ran short of memory. It evicted its page cache, then re-read about 120 MB/s from disk, which saturated the disk. The etcd member on that master stalled (WAL fsync and commit p99 of several seconds), the local kube-apiserver hung and was restarted, and many unrelated tests timed out. The root cause, control-plane singleton operators piling onto one master, is tracked in OCPBUGS-131892. Today nothing in CI shows this happening.

What it does

memory-thrashing-collector follows the same pattern as cpu-metric-collector and etcd-disk-metrics-intervals: range queries at 30s steps from the start of monitoring.

  • Trigger: two queries per node, rate(node_vmstat_pgmajfault[1m]) and rate(node_vmstat_pgpgin[1m]) / 1024. Runs of samples with more than 50 major faults/s and more than 50 MB/s paged in from disk become a MemoryMonitor / MemoryThrashing interval on the node. Each sample counts for its full 30s step, so short spikes keep a real duration, and a gap in the samples ends the interval.
  • Why both: the fault count alone can't tell harmless pressure from the damaging case. Bursts of faults on small pages (up to ~2,000/s but only a few MB/s) showed no harm, while the stalls read back 100+ MB/s. The stalled run in the table below actually had fewer faults (132/s) than most harmless bursts.
  • Autodl table node_memory_thrashing_intervals: one row per interval with NodeName, NodeRole, StartTime, EndTime, DurationSeconds, PeakMajorFaultsPerSecond, PeakPageInMBPerSecond.
  • Per-run totals: MemoryMonitor is added to interval-duration-sum, so every run records a total (including 0), which separates "no thrashing" from "the monitor didn't run".
  • Timeline chart: a memory-thrashing row next to high-cpu.

CPU saturation

cpu-metric-collector now also records CPUSaturation / CPURunQueueSaturation intervals. CPU usage tops out at 100% and hides how backed up a node is; run-queue wait keeps growing.

  • Query: sum by (instance) (rate(node_schedstat_waiting_seconds_total[1m])) / count by (instance) (node_cpu_seconds_total{mode="idle"}), the CPU-seconds threads spend waiting to run, per second per core. Runs of at least two consecutive samples (one minute) above 4 become an interval, with the same step-based durations and gap handling as memory thrashing.
  • Separate source: the intervals get their own cpu-saturation row in the timeline (separate from high-cpu, even for the same node), and the high CPU test overlap analyzer only looks at HighCPUUsage, so high_cpu_e2e_tests is unaffected.
  • No test result: CPU saturation is recorded as intervals (timeline and interval-duration-sum) only. See calibration below for why.
  • Why: in this failed run, [sig-network][Feature:Router] The HAProxy router should serve a route that points to two services and respect weights failed with etcdserver: request timed out during an etcd leader election at 13:58:50 UTC. There was no memory thrashing and disks were normal (0.9 ms), but the old leader's master (4 cores) had threads waiting 20–28 CPU-seconds per second, and etcd fsync rose to 30–50 ms. The existing 95% HighCPUUsage threshold flagged it only from 13:53:40 to 13:55:10; the new intervals cover 13:57:30–13:59:00 with a peak of 6.5 per core.
  • Calibration: in that run, workers never exceeded 1.9 per core, while the three masters spent 10–27 minutes above 4. Saturation on masters is common during e2e and doesn't predict elections on its own (the new leader later ran at 8.6 per core without losing leadership). Three passing periodic-ci-openshift-release-main-ci-5.1-upgrade-from-stable-5.0-e2e-aws-ovn-upgrade runs also showed saturation on masters in every run, from two causes:
  • Single-sample blips on busy masters, which the one-minute minimum removes.
  • The oc adm must-gather e2e tests, which run several must-gathers at once on one master and saturate it for 5–10 minutes in nearly every run (load ~166 on 4 cores, ~300 runnable threads, ~68 waiting per core). In one run, 9 [sig-cli] oc adm must-gather tests all started at 06:38:14.
  • Memory thrashing recorded nothing in any of the three runs.

Calibration

Run against two jobs' gather-extra Prometheus snapshots, over their e2e windows:

Run Result
2102374130580983808 (AWS, failed) Peak 132 faults/s and 125 MB/s paged in on the stalled master at 15:01–15:06 UTC, matching the etcd stall (multi-second fsync) and kube-apiserver restart. Recorded. Eight milder bursts on another master (≤9 MB/s) are not.
2109982696762511360 (AWS, failed) About 130 MB/s of disk reads during the same kind of stall. Recorded.
2108307618198982656 (AWS, passed) Bursts up to 1,800 faults/s but ≤13 MB/s paged in. Not recorded.
This PR's e2e-gcp-ovn and e2e-gcp-ovn-upgrade runs Bursts up to 2,152 faults/s but ≤12 MB/s paged in. etcd fsync peaked at 13.5 ms, no disruption, and the failing tests had other causes (router rollouts on CPU-saturated workers, a broken oc test). Not recorded.

Healthy nodes stayed under about 10 major faults/s and 20 MB/s paged in. The 50 MB/s cutoff rests on two severe examples, so the peaks are stored with each interval to revisit it once there's more CI data.

Testing

  • Unit tests for interval construction in both collectors (thresholds, consecutive samples, end of window, step-based durations, gaps, peak tracking, unknown nodes) and for the flake results (intervals give a failure plus a pass, none give a pass, other sources are ignored).
  • The CPU saturation logic was also run against the failed run's Prometheus snapshot, producing the intervals described above.
  • The calibration above was done by running the collection against each job's Prometheus snapshot loaded locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
  • Cluster stability checks now identify CPU run-queue saturation and memory-thrashing periods.
  • Detected periods appear in dedicated CPU saturation and memory-thrashing timeline groups, including peak metrics where available.
  • CPU saturation and memory-monitor intervals are included in duration summaries and downloadable test artifacts.
  • Bug Fixes
  • Missing metric samples and below-threshold readings now split detected periods, preventing gaps from being counted as continuous events.
  • CPU saturation overlapping displayed end-to-end intervals is excluded from duplicate failure reporting.
