Log4J & elk 事故总结

周六的早晨8点,应用出现了大面积的登录超时问题。

作为一款日活15W、用户量700W+的应用,这是致命的问题。

唯一的安慰是——好在今天是周末,加班的公司才会使用。虽然如此,客服、产品的电话也被打爆了。

初步怀疑,问题与前一天晚上的更新有关,运维的同事回滚了更新,应用全部回滚完毕,然而,问题依然没有解决,服务依然不可用。

运维开始束手无策,9点钟的时候,基本所有的开发teamleader都过来了,加上架构部的,十几号人开始分析问题,客服、运营、产品们忙着安慰客户,发公告。总监、副总裁都过来了,看着一群开发忙来忙去的找问题。

我们最先怀疑的是后端的基础系统故障(历史经验,这一块出问题的可能性比较大),mongo, mysql,  redis, memcache, rabbitmq一个个排查,它们的表现都正常:群集读写的压力都很小,请求处理时间短。

在排除了以上系统的问题之后,我们把怀疑的对象对准了一个Http服务,这是一个古老的服务,使用oauth 1.0 ,底层的http不能指定超时(而新的服务都是使用async-http实现,有超时设置),屏蔽服务后,问题依然存在。

后续的分析,集中在内部服务接口的请求上。通过vpn直接请求内部接口,测了几个在网关层请求都超时的服务,它们的返回都正常,最终将问题锁定在了网关层的服务。

网关层服务是一个轻量级的服务,它的主要职责是两件事:(1)鉴权(移动端、ERP)(2)路由(按业务),理论上这个服务不应该出现问题,不管它,先dump内存看看。

将网关层应用的内存dump下来后,发现了问题: 

"qtp1056944384-232" prio=10 tid=0x00007f54900d0800 nid=0x63b3 waiting for monitor entry [0x00007f54492d0000]

	at org.apache.log4j.Category.log(Category.java:856)
	at org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter.info(Log4jLoggerAdapter.java:368)

 总计有200多个log4j的线程在等待锁"0x00000007e81c4830",而这把锁被谁持有呢?通过搜索,找到以下dump信息:

"qtp1056944384-218" prio=10 tid=0x00007f54800bb800 nid=0x63a5 runnable [0x00007f544a0de000]

 第218号线程持有了锁"0x00000007e81c4830",然后其它log4j的线程都在等待这把锁的释放。可以看到,这把锁的持有者,一个关键字“logstash.log4j”,因此初步诊断和最近添加的elk有关。elk 即 Logstash+ElasticSearch+Kibana4,它是架构部近期引入的一个实时日志分析系统,最近的调整是:log4j.rootLogger 参数,添加了实时将日志打到logstash,而logstash在早晨8点的时候日志片段如下:

 logstash出现了大量的503,查看elasticsearch的日志片段:

运维的同事说,elk是单节点,而此时,elasticsearch由于磁盘空间不够,出现了服务不可用(没有添加预警),logstash阻塞。logstash阻塞,导致网关服务整个集群不可用。

初步的处理是,停用logstash同步写,同时将生产环境日志临时调整为fatal(为了减少日志量)。

为什么log4j会出现几百个线程等待一个锁的问题呢?后面笔者分析的log4j的Category.callAppenders源码:

  /**
     Call the appenders in the hierrachy starting at
     <code>this</code>.  If no appenders could be found, emit a
     warning.

     <p>This method calls all the appenders inherited from the
     hierarchy circumventing any evaluation of whether to log or not
     to log the particular log request.

     @param event the event to log.  */
public void callAppenders(LoggingEvent event) {
    int writes = 0;

    for(Category c = this; c != null; c=c.parent) {
      // Protected against simultaneous call to addAppender, removeAppender,...
      synchronized(c) {
        if(c.aai != null) {
            writes += c.aai.appendLoopOnAppenders(event);
        }
        if(!c.additive) {
            break;
        }
      }
    }

    if(writes == 0) {
      repository.emitNoAppenderWarning(this);
    }
  }

log4j版本1.x中,使用的是古老的synchronized(this),所有线程共用一个Category,而它通过log4j.properties指定。 同一个Category下的线程打log时,需要进行全局同步,因此它的效率会很低,log4j 1.x版不适合高并发的场景。

为了杜绝这样的问题,后续需要吸取教训:

1. 尽量减少不必要的日志,在成熟的接口上,关闭日志输出,这样有利于提高效率。

2. 替换底层log的实现类,不再使用log4j 1.x,使用logback(推荐)或者新的log4j 2.x版本。

最后,附带两篇关于log4j 1.x中,日志系统死锁的分析(我们最开始怀疑是这个问题):
