I've got a small cluster with - 8 hosts and 1 OSD (4TB SSD) per host. - version: 16.2.6 - pool pg_num=256 The cluster serves as RBD backend for VMs. There is a relatively small load on the cluster. Each VM has a few snapshots, which are saved into another HDD pool. Below is a capture from one of the OSDs (but they all behave pretty much the same), during a healthy state of the cluster: - docker stats / top reports ~37GB consumed by the ceph-osd container. - Heap dump reports are pretty much the same as top / docker stats. - dump_mempools reports much less: around ~11GB RAM total (pglog around ~7GB). ceph tell osd.3 heap dump osd.3 dumping heap profile now. ------------------------------------------------ MALLOC: 30292314848 (28889.0 MiB) Bytes in use by application MALLOC: + 1236992 ( 1.2 MiB) Bytes in page heap freelist MALLOC: + 1090272792 ( 1039.8 MiB) Bytes in central cache freelist MALLOC: + 7152128 ( 6.8 MiB) Bytes in transfer cache freelist MALLOC: + 109016328 ( 104.0 MiB) Bytes in thread cache freelists MALLOC: + 154140672 ( 147.0 MiB) Bytes in malloc metadata MALLOC: ------------ MALLOC: = 31654133760 (30187.7 MiB) Actual memory used (physical + swap) MALLOC: + 12524781568 (11944.6 MiB) Bytes released to OS (aka unmapped) MALLOC: ------------ MALLOC: = 44178915328 (42132.3 MiB) Virtual address space used MALLOC: MALLOC: 2119728 Spans in use MALLOC: 52 Thread heaps in use MALLOC: 8192 Tcmalloc page size ------------------------------------------------ pprof: File: ceph-osd Type: inuse_space Showing nodes accounting for 142.83MB, 100% of 142.83MB total Dropped 2 nodes (cum <= 0.71MB) flat flat% sum% cum cum% 142.83MB 100% 100% 142.83MB 100% [ceph-osd] 0 0% 100% 142.83MB 100% [libc-2.28.so] 0 0% 100% 142.83MB 100% [libpthread-2.28.so] 0 0% 100% 12.71MB 8.90% [libstdc++.so.6.0.25] mempools: { "mempool": { "by_pool": { "bloom_filter": { "items": 0, "bytes": 0 }, "bluestore_alloc": { "items": 16162345, "bytes": 189696680 }, "bluestore_cache_data": { "items": 98509, "bytes": 1669081348 }, "bluestore_cache_onode": { "items": 144259, "bytes": 88863544 }, "bluestore_cache_meta": { "items": 13760035, "bytes": 117467523 }, "bluestore_cache_other": { "items": 14800061, "bytes": 554492280 }, "bluestore_Buffer": { "items": 50604, "bytes": 4857984 }, "bluestore_Extent": { "items": 2737534, "bytes": 131401632 }, "bluestore_Blob": { "items": 2713453, "bytes": 282199112 }, "bluestore_SharedBlob": { "items": 2709774, "bytes": 303494688 }, "bluestore_inline_bl": { "items": 1999, "bytes": 751616 }, "bluestore_fsck": { "items": 0, "bytes": 0 }, "bluestore_txc": { "items": 14, "bytes": 10976 }, "bluestore_writing_deferred": { "items": 74, "bytes": 284674 }, "bluestore_writing": { "items": 53, "bytes": 346278 }, "bluefs": { "items": 38190, "bytes": 530976 }, "bluefs_file_reader": { "items": 533, "bytes": 76146048 }, "bluefs_file_writer": { "items": 3, "bytes": 576 }, "buffer_anon": { "items": 151865, "bytes": 30323982 }, "buffer_meta": { "items": 150716, "bytes": 13263008 }, "osd": { "items": 107, "bytes": 1210384 }, "osd_mapbl": { "items": 0, "bytes": 0 }, "osd_pglog": { "items": 65355549, "bytes": 6813635624 }, "osdmap": { "items": 52714, "bytes": 1537680 }, "osdmap_mapping": { "items": 0, "bytes": 0 }, "pgmap": { "items": 0, "bytes": 0 }, "mds_co": { "items": 0, "bytes": 0 }, "unittest_1": { "items": 0, "bytes": 0 }, "unittest_2": { "items": 0, "bytes": 0 } }, "total": { "items": 118928391, "bytes": 10279596613 } } } Any feedback is much appreciated.
