Introduction
Optimizing and monitoring the performance of your Linux kernel is absolutely key to achieving the highest performance from your ClickHouse cluster. In this article we explore how to use a simple python script to monitor the disk I/O matrix of the Linux kernel.
Python Script to Monitor Linux Disk I/O Matrix
import psutil import mysql.connector # Connect to the ClickHouse database cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='<username>', password='<password>', host='<hostname>', port='<port>', database='<database>') cursor = cnx.cursor() def monitor_disk_io_usage(): disk_io = psutil.disk_io_counters() # Get read_count read_count = disk_io.read_count # Get write_count write_count = disk_io.write_count # Get read_bytes read_bytes = disk_io.read_bytes # Get write_bytes write_bytes = disk_io.write_bytes # Insert disk I/O usage into ClickHouse database query = f"INSERT INTO disk_io_usage (read_count, write_count, read_bytes, write_bytes) VALUES ({read_count}, {write_count}, {read_bytes}, {write_bytes})" cursor.execute(query) cnx.commit() while True: monitor_disk_io_usage() # Close the cursor and connection cursor.close() cnx.close()
