log file sync等待超高案例浅析

监控工具DPA发现海外一台Oracle数据库服务器DB Commit Time指标告警,超过红色告警线(40毫秒左右,黄色告警是10毫秒,红色告警线是20毫秒),如下截图所示,生成了对应的时段的AWR报告,发现Top 5 Timed Events里面,log file sync等待事件的平均等待时间为37毫秒,log file parallel write等待事件的平均等待时间为40毫秒

如果对Tanel Poder::Understanding LGWR, Log File Sync Waits and Commit Performance这篇文章所讲述的内容很熟悉的话(经典图如下),那么通过等待事件log file sync与log file parallel write的Avg Wait(ms)指标: 37ms & 40ms,基本上可以判断就是redo log所在的磁盘I/O出现了性能问题

然后在用lfsdiag.sql脚本分析一下详细的统计数据,如下所示:

HISTOGRAM DATA FOR LFS AND OTHER RELATED WAITS:
 
APPROACH: Look at the wait distribution for log file sync waits
by looking at "wait_time_milli". Look at the high wait times then
see if you can correlate those with other related wait events.

AWR WORST AVG LOG FILE SYNC SNAPS:

 

上面数据可以看到,log file sync等待事件数量最多的是32ms这个区间的,log file parallel write等待事件发生最多的也是32ms这个区间的,其实这个值已经远远超过7ms,极其不正常。log file parallel write 事件是LGWR进程专属的等待事件,发生在LGWR将log_buffer中的重做日志信息写入联机重做日志文件组的成员文件,LGWR在该事件上等待该写入过程的完成。该事件等待时间过长,说明日志文件所在磁盘缓慢或存在争用。log file synclog file parallel write是相互关联的。换句话讲,假设log file parallel write的时间非常长,那么必定导致log file sync等待时间拉长。如果log file parallel write 等待非常高,那么可能一般是物理磁盘I/O的问题

 

另外,我们也检查了一下redo log的切换频率,如下所示,redolog_sitch_time.sql查看发现redo log切换的次数并不频繁,生成的归档日志的量也并不大。大部分时候一小时切换零次或一次。

然后我们找了一台机器(上述指标正常的服务器)简单对测试了一下IO的速度,这个方法极其简单,就是看看生成一个大文件需要多长时间,简单测试一下I/O性能(没有考虑cache等,测试采样也不详尽),但是对比数据也基本能验证、反馈磁盘IO存在问题)。

 

 

 

问题服务器:

 

 

# time dd if=/dev/zero of=./test bs=512k count=2048 oflag=direct

2048+0 records in

2048+0 records out

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 88.271 seconds, 12.2 MB/s

 

real    1m28.273s

user    0m0.010s

sys     0m0.655s

 

 

 

对比服务器(正常的服务器):

 

 

 

 

# time dd if=/dev/zero of=./test bs=512k count=2048 oflag=direct

2048+0 records in

2048+0 records out

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 2.48344 seconds, 432 MB/s

 

real    0m2.485s

user    0m0.004s

sys     0m0.386s

 

 

  如上对比所示,两台服务器生成同样一个大小文件,耗费的时间,I/O性能差别非常大,完全验证了告警的服务器所在的存储I/O存在性能问题,但是公司分工非常明确,DBA也不清楚底层存储出了什么问题,只能将这个问题反馈出来,等待海外负责维护系统和存储的同事的回复。
