Fault Management Architecture

Aerial follows the best practices of Kubernetes (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging/) for implementing logging.

The cuphycontroller application outputs log messages with log level less than or equal to the cuphycontroller YAML configuration parameter nvlog.console_log_level directly to stdout using the “logging at the node level” pattern.

For high performance logs, Aerial uses a shared memory logger to offload the I/O bottleneck from the real-time threads. Log messages with level less than or equal to cuphycontroller YAML configuration parameter nvlog.shm_log_level are output to the shared memory logger. The shared memory logger outputs can be retrieved using either the “streaming sidecar” pattern with logs written directly to the local disk:

or the “sidecar with logging agent” pattern to stream directly to an external logging backend:

Each nvlog message is a string of the form “[Software Component Name] Msg” prefixed with the following space-separated optional fields:

  • Date

  • Timestamp

  • Primary or Secondary nvlog process

  • Log level

  • Log event code id

  • Log event code string

  • CPU core number the calling thread is running on

  • 64-bit sequence number

  • Thread ID

  • Thread Name

These fields are enabled in the nvlog_config.yaml.

An example nvlog message is:

20:58:09.036299 C [NVLOG.CPP] nvlog_create: name=phy shm_level=1 console_level=1 max_file_size=0x10000000 shm_cache_size=0x200000 log_buf_size=1024 prefix_opts=0x09

The message above had the following prefaces enabled:

  • Timestamp

  • Log level

Here are three more example nvlog message with all prefixed fields enabled taken at the start of cuphycontroller process execution:

Here is an example of an nvlog message at Fault level with Event Code AERIAL_MEMORY_EVENT:

Copy
Copied!
            

20:58:09.036299 F MEMORY_EVENT Unable to allocate memory for FH buffers

The message above had the following prefaces enabled:

  • Timestamp

  • Log level

  • Log event code string

The fields are further described herein:

Date is YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 1970-01-01

Timestamp is HH:MM:SS.us, e.g. 20:58:09.036299

Primary process is P, secondary process is S

Log level is:

  • F - Fatal

  • E - Error

  • C - Console

  • W - Warning

  • I - Info

  • D - Debug

  • V - Verbose

Log event code string / log event code id is a string (or a numerical id) that indicates the category of event which has occurred.
