Hi All, We have a kafka cluster with 12 nodes and we are pretty much seeing 90% cpu usage on all the nodes. Here is all the information. Need some help on figuring out what the problem is and how to overcome this issue.
*Cluster:* Kafka version: 2.3.0 Number of brokers in cluster: 12 Node type: 4 vCores 32GB mem Network In: 10Mbps per broker Network Out: 16Mbps per broker Topics: 10 (approximately) Partitions: 20 (Max), some has only partitions Replication Factor: 3 *CPU Usage:* [image: image.png] *VMStat* [root]# vmstat 1 10 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ------cpu----- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa st 8 0 0 234444 19064 24046980 0 0 17 2026 1 3 38 33 28 0 1 7 0 0 256444 19036 24023880 0 0 768 0 64027 22708 44 40 16 0 1 7 0 0 245356 19052 24034560 0 0 256 472 63509 23276 44 39 17 0 1 7 0 0 235096 19052 24046616 0 0 0 0 62277 22516 46 38 15 0 1 8 0 0 260548 19036 24020084 0 0 516 49888 62364 22894 43 38 18 0 1 5 0 0 249232 19036 24030924 0 0 512 0 61022 24589 41 39 20 0 1 6 0 0 238072 19036 24042512 0 0 1024 0 63358 23063 44 38 17 0 0 5 0 0 262904 19052 24017972 0 0 0 440 63078 23499 46 37 17 0 1 7 0 0 250324 19052 24030008 0 0 0 0 64615 22617 48 38 14 0 1 6 0 0 237920 19052 24042372 0 0 1024 48900 63223 23029 42 40 18 0 1 *IO Stat:* [root]# iostat -m Linux 4.14.72-73.55.amzn2.x86_64 (loc-kafka11.internal.dnaspaces.io) 01/02/2020 _x86_64_ (4 CPU) avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 38.11 0.00 33.09 0.11 0.61 28.08 Device: tps MB_read/s MB_wrtn/s MB_read MB_wrtn xvda 2.36 0.01 0.01 26760 43360 nvme0n1 0.00 0.00 0.00 2 0 xvdf 70.95 0.06 7.67 185908 25205338 *Top Kafka broker threads:* [image: image.png] *Top 3:* "data-plane-kafka-network-thread-10-ListenerName(PLAINTEXT)-PLAINTEXT-0" #60 prio=5 os_prio=0 tid=0x00007f8b1ab56000 nid=0x581f runnable [0x00007f8a886ce000] "data-plane-kafka-network-thread-10-ListenerName(PLAINTEXT)-PLAINTEXT-2" #62 prio=5 os_prio=0 tid=0x00007f8b1ab59000 nid=0x5821 runnable [0x00007f8a6aefd000] "data-plane-kafka-network-thread-10-ListenerName(PLAINTEXT)-PLAINTEXT-1" #61 prio=5 os_prio=0 tid=0x00007f8b1ab57800 nid=0x5820 runnable [0x00007f8a885cd000] It doesn't looks like GC and IO is the problem.
