I've done that, but not much timing info in there, i.e.:

    "ops": [
        {
            "tid": 416231,
            "pg": "6.791ce4c5",
            "osd": 31,
            "object_id": "200.00024d0f",
            "object_locator": "@6",
            "target_object_id": "200.00024d0f",
            "target_object_locator": "@6",
            "paused": 0,
            "used_replica": 0,
            "precalc_pgid": 0,
            "last_sent": "79790s",
            "attempts": 1,
            "snapid": "head",
            "snap_context": "0=[]",
            "mtime": "2019-03-01 16:39:29.0.41847s",
            "osd_ops": [
                "write 798204~6249 [fadvise_dontneed]"
            ]
        }

The MDS_SLOW_METADATA_IO warning has been added in commit
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/commit/0f735f40315448560fde049ed3ea019a7d30d868#diff-74784f821b1aae68f768965680914268

Tracker issue: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/24879
PR: 23022

It uses the "osd_op_complaint_time" as the "complaint_time". We have set
the osd_op_complaint_time to 5 seconds. 

The tracker issue hints that slow metadata would be caused by a slow OSD
(joural writes of MDS that take too long). However, we do not see any
slow mds ops (data), nor slow ops. We've changed the parameter
"mon_osd_warn_op_age" to 5 seconds as well so slow OSD ops would be
reported as well.

I do not think our OSDs are that slow, that often (~ at least every 15
minutes we would see that warning) ... so I really wonder what's going
on.

For now we've set the osd_op_complaint_time to "30" on the MDSes and do
not see any SLOW METADATA warnings anymore.

Anyone willing to set the osd_op_complaint_time to 5 seconds to see if
those messages will start popping up? ceph tell mds.* config set
osd_op_complaint_time 5 should do the trick ... you would need to be
running 12.2.11 and /or mimic 13.2.2.

Thanks,

Stefan

P.s. kudos to Wido den Hollander for helping us debug this.
