Debugging

Before we start debugging the predictive monitoring, we need to increase the log level of Livestatus to debug as described here: How to collect troubleshooting data for various issue types#Core

...

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
OMD[mysite]:~$ lq "GET services\nColumns: host_name description metrics\nFilter: metrics ~ predict\nFilter: host_name ~ localhost|Windows"
localhost;CPU load;predict_load15,load15,load5,load1
localhost;CPU utilization;predict_util,util,wait,system,user

.

The predictive metrics in my example are:

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
predict_load15
predict_util

.

Now let's grep for the livestatus queries. In this example, I want to check the "predict_load15":

I receive one query for every entry of the prediction:

Last but not least, please check this directory:

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
./var/check_mk/prediction/<HOSTNAME>/

.

The prediction will create for every Host and Service a directory with the metrics as a subdirectory:

Tip

So the prediction for this should work!


Common issues

Predictive monitoring in a distributed setup

At the moment, predictive monitoring is only on a local site possible. In a distributed setup, you will receive this message on the master central node. 

This is due to the missing file inside ./var/check_mk/prediction/.

We are evaluating implementing this in feature future Checkmk releases!

Screenshot of an error stating There is currently no prediction information available for this service.Image Modified


Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
Error: There is currently no prediction information available for this service.


No reference for prediction yet

Note

Checkmk will show a prediction if he has enough history data. In case you don't have enough data, you can configure a shorter time horizon!

An internal error occurred while processing your request. You can report this issue to the Checkmk team to help fixing this issue. Please open the crash report page and use the form for reporting the problem.



This is because of missing performance data in the past. Checkmk can't interpret these "None" values!

We will fix this in future Checkmk Releases!
