Stats API Example

This example demonstrates how to retrieve statistics from VPP using the new Stats API.

Requirements

The following requirements are required to run this example:

• install VPP 18.10+ (VPP 19.04+ for goclient)
• enable stats in VPP

To enable stats add following section to you VPP config:

statseg {
	default
	per-node-counters on
}

The default socket is located at /run/vpp/stats.sock.

Running example

First build the example: go build git.fd.io/govpp.git/examples/stats-api.

Higher-level access to stats

Use commands following commands to retrieve stats that are aggregated and processed into logical structures from api package.

• system to retrieve system statistics
• nodes to retrieve per node statistics
• interfaces to retrieve per interface statistics
• errors to retrieve error statistics (you can use patterns to filter the errors)

System stats

Following command will retrieve system stats.

$ ./stats-api system
System stats: &{VectorRate:0 InputRate:0 LastUpdate:32560 LastStatsClear:0 Heartbeat:3255}

Node stats

Following command will retrieve per node stats.

$ ./stats-api nodes

Interface stats

Following command will retrieve per interface stats.

$ ./stats-api interfaces

Listed 4 interface counters

Error stats

Following command will retrieve error stats. Use flag -all to include stats with zero values.

$ ./stats-api errors ip
Listing error stats.. ip
 - {ip4-input/ip4 spoofed local-address packet drops 15}
Listed 1 (825) error counters

Low-level access to stats

Use commands ls and dump to list and dump statistics in their raw format from adapter package. Optionally, patterns can be used to filter the results.

List stats

Following command will list stats matching patterns /sys/ and /if/.

$ ./stats-api ls /sys/ /if/
Listing stats.. /sys/ /if/
 - /sys/vector_rate
 - /sys/input_rate
 - /sys/last_update
 - /sys/last_stats_clear
 - /sys/heartbeat
 - /sys/node/clocks

Dump stats

Following command will dump stats with their types and actual values. Use flag -all to include stats with zero values.

$ ./stats-api dump
