### tl;dr ###

ZooKeeper protocol analyzer and stats gathering daemon

### Installing ###

You can install ZKTraffic via pip:

```
$ pip install zktraffic
```

Or run it from source (if you have the dependencies installed, see below):

```
$ git clone https://github.com/twitter/zktraffic.git
$ cd zktraffic
$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --iface=eth0
```

To get a quick count of requests by path:

```
$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --iface=eth0 --count-requests 10000 --sort-by path
/ 1749
/services/prod/search 846
/configs/teleportation/features 843
```

Or by type:

```
$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --iface=eth0 --count-requests 10000 --sort-by type
GetChildrenRequest 9044
ExistsRequest 958
```

You can also measure latencies by path (avg, p95 and p99):

```
$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --measure-latency 1000 --group-by path --aggregation-depth 2 --sort-by p99
path avg p95 p99
--------------- ----------- ---------- ----------
/party/services 0.000199077 0.00048846 0.00267805
/party 0.000349498 0.00136839 0.00201204
/party/configs 0.000157728 0.00036664 0.00122663
```

Or by type:

```
$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --measure-latency 1000 --group-by type --sort-by p99
type avg p95 p99
---------------------- ----------- ----------- -----------
CreateEphemeralRequest 0.000735009 0.000978041 0.0032404
GetChildrenRequest 0.000182547 0.000453258 0.00220628
ExistsRequest 0.000162728 0.000430155 0.000862937
```

Or by client:

```
$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --measure-latency 1000 --group-by client --sort-by p99
client avg p95 p99
---------------------- ----------- ----------- -----------
10.0.1.3:44308 0.000735009 0.000978041 0.0032404
10.0.1.6:34305 0.000182547 0.000453258 0.00220628
10.0.1.9:36110 0.000162728 0.000430155 0.000862937
```

Or use the stats gathering daemon:

```
$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-stats-daemon --iface=eth0 --http-port=9090
```

Or you can build PEX files — from the source — for any of the available tools:

```
$ pip install pex

# zk-dump
$ pex -v -e zktraffic.cli.zk -o zk-dump.pex .

# zk-stats-daemon
$ pex -v -e zktraffic.cli.stats_daemon -o stats-daemon.pex .

# zab-dump
$ pex -v -e zktraffic.cli.zab -o zab-dump.pex .

# fle-dump
$ pex -v -e zktraffic.cli.fle -o fle-dump.pex .

```

More info about PEX [here](https://pex.readthedocs.org "PEX").

### What is ZKTraffic? ###

An {iptraf,top}-esque traffic monitor for ZooKeeper. Right now it exports
per-path (and global) stats. Eventually it'll be made to export per-user
stats too.

It has a front-end, zk-dump, that can be used in interactive mode to dump traffic:

```
# need root or CAP_NET_ADMIN & CAP_NET_RAW
$ sudo zk-dump --iface eth0
21:08:05:991542 ConnectRequest(ver=0, zxid=0, timeout=10000, session=0x0, readonly=False, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
————————►21:08:06:013513 ConnectReply(ver=0, timeout=10000, session=0x148cf0aedc60000, readonly=False, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
21:08:07:432361 ExistsRequest(xid=1, path=/, watch=False, size=14, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
————————►21:08:07:447353 ExistsReply(xid=1, zxid=31, error=0, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
21:08:07:448033 GetChildrenRequest(xid=2, path=/, watch=False, size=14, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
————————►21:08:07:456169 GetChildrenReply(xid=2, zxid=31, error=0, count=1, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
...
```

Or, it can work in daemon mode from which it exposes HTTP/JSON endpoints with
stats that can be fed into your favourite data collection system:

```
$ sudo zk-stats-daemon.pex --app_daemonize --aggregation-depth=5

# Wait for 1 min and:

$ sleep 60 && curl http://localhost:7070/json/paths | python -mjson.tool

Other relevant endpoints for stats are:

* /json/ips: top-N per-ip stats
* /json/auths: per-auth stats
* /json/auths-dump: a full dump of known auths
* /json/info: process uptime and introspection info
* /threads: stacks for all threads

### More tools! ###

Along with zk-dump and zk-stats-daemon, you can find fle-dump which allows you
to inspect FastLeaderElection traffic (i.e.: the protocol by which ZooKeeper decides
who will lead and the mechanism by which the leader is subsequently discovered):

```
$ sudo fle-dump --iface eth0 -c
Notification(
timestamp=00:57:12:593254,
src=10.0.0.1:32938,
dst=10.0.0.2:3888,
state=following,
leader=3,
zxid=0,
election_epoch=0,
peer_epoch=0,
config=
server.0=10.0.0.1:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181

Notification(

server.2=10.0.0.3:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181
server.3=10.0.0.4:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181
server.4=10.0.0.5:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181
version=10010d4d6
)
...

```

Note: for initial messages to be visible you'll need the patch available
at [ZOOKEEPER-2098](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2098 "ZOOKEEPER-2098"),
if you are using ZooKeeper prior to ZooKeeper 3.5.1-rc2.

Note: if you are using Linux 3.14 or later, you'll need to disable [TCP Auto Corking](http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f54b311142a92ea2e42598e347b84e1655caf8e3) by running `echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking`.

If you are interested in debugging ZAB (ZooKeeper Atomic Broadcast protocol), you can use
zab-dump:

```
$ sudo zab-dump --iface eth0
