Enabling Pyroscope¶

Introduction¶

Pyroscope is a continuous profiling tool designed to collect, store, and analyze application performance data over time. It helps developers optimize resource usage by identifying CPU, memory, and execution bottlenecks. It captures performance data over time, making it easier to identify long-term trends. It uses a time-series database to store profiling data efficiently.

Configure S3 for Pyroscope¶

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met.

1. You will need a S3 bucket to save the Profiling data.
2. Your node IAM role should have permission to access the S3 bucket.

Process¶

To enable Pyroscope in the Privacera monitoring stack, follow the steps below.

1. SSH into the instance where Privacera Manager is installed.
2. Navigate to the config directory using the following command:

   Bash
   1	cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config/

3. Copy vars.monioring.yml file from sample-vars folder to custom-vars folder.

   If this file already exists in custom-vars folder then you can skip this step.

   Bash
   1	cp sample-vars/vars.monitoring.yml custom-vars/

4. Open vars.monioring.yml.

   Bash
   1	vi custom-vars/vars.monitoring.yml

5. Uncomment the below variables in the file and save it.

   • Provide the S3 buckte name.

     Bash
     1	MONITORING_S3_BUCKET_NAME: "<YOUR_S3_BUCKET_NAME>"

   • Enable Pyroscope.

     Bash
     1	PYROSCOPE_DEPLOYMENT_ENABLED: "true"

6. Once done, redeploy the monitoring components.

   a. Go to privacera-manager directory.

   Bash
   1	cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager.

   b. Run setup to generate the required files.

   Bash
   1	./privacera-manager.sh setup

   c. Install the monitoring components.

   Bash
   1	./pm_with_helm.sh install-monitoring

   d. Once done, run post-install.

   Bash
   1	./privacera-manager.sh post-install
