Ok, I'm gathering the "allocation stats probe" stuff. Not sure I follow what you mean by the historic probes. just:
| egrep "allocation stats probe|probe" ?
That gets something like:

if that is the right query, then I'll gather the metrics, restart and gather some more after and let you know.
Thanks,

Just run through available logs for a specific OSD (which you suspect
suffer from high fragmentation) and collect all allocation stats probes
you can find ("allocation stats probe" string is a perfect grep pattern,
please append lines with historic probes following day-0 line as well.
Given this is printed once per day there wouldn't be too many).
Then do OSD restart and wait a couple more days. Would allocation stats
show much better disparity between cnt and frags columns?
Is the similar pattern (eventual degradation in stats prior to restart
and severe improvement afterwards) be observed for other OSDs?
