Application Performance Monitoring (APM)
The MongoDB driver contains an event subscriber API, which allows applications to monitor commands and internal activity pertaining to the » Server Discovery and Monitoring Specification. This tutorial will demonstrate command monitoring using the MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandSubscriber interface.
The MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandSubscriber
interface defines three methods: commandStarted,
commandSucceeded, and commandFailed.
Each of these three methods accept a single event
argument of a specific class for the respective event. For example, the
commandSucceeded's $event argument
is a MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandSucceededEvent
object.
In this tutorial we will implement a subscriber that creates a list of all the query profiles and the average time they took.
Subscriber Class Scaffolding
We start with the framework for our subscriber:
<?php
class QueryTimeCollector implements \MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandSubscriber
{
public function commandStarted( \MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandStartedEvent $event )
{
}
public function commandSucceeded( \MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandSucceededEvent $event )
{
}
public function commandFailed( \MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandFailedEvent $event )
{
}
}
?>
Registering the Subscriber
Once a subscriber object is instantiated, it needs to be registered with the driver's monitoring system. This is done by calling MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\addSubscriber() or MongoDB\Driver\Manager::addSubscriber() to register the subscriber globally or with a specific Manager, respectively.
<?php
\MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\addSubscriber( new QueryTimeCollector() );
?>
Implementing the Logic
With the object registered, the only thing left is to implement the logic
in the subscriber class. To correlate the two events that make up a
successfully executed command (commandStarted and commandSucceeded), each
event object exposes a requestId field.
To record the average time per query shape, we will start by checking for a
find command in the commandStarted event. We will then add
an item to the pendingCommands property indexed by its
requestId and with its value representing the query shape.
If we receive a corresponding commandSucceeded event with the same
requestId, we add the duration of the event (from
durationMicros) to the total time and increment the
operation count.
If a corresponding commandFailed event is encountered, we just remove the
entry from the pendingCommands property.
<?php
class QueryTimeCollector implements \MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandSubscriber
{
private $pendingCommands = [];
private $queryShapeStats = [];
/* Creates a query shape out of the filter argument. Right now it only
* takes the top level fields into account */
private function createQueryShape( array $filter )
{
return json_encode( array_keys( $filter ) );
}
public function commandStarted( \MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandStartedEvent $event )
{
if ( array_key_exists( 'find', (array) $event->getCommand() ) )
{
$queryShape = $this->createQueryShape( (array) $event->getCommand()->filter );
$this->pendingCommands[$event->getRequestId()] = $queryShape;
}
}
public function commandSucceeded( \MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandSucceededEvent $event )
{
$requestId = $event->getRequestId();
if ( array_key_exists( $requestId, $this->pendingCommands ) )
{
$this->queryShapeStats[$this->pendingCommands[$requestId]]['count']++;
$this->queryShapeStats[$this->pendingCommands[$requestId]]['duration'] += $event->getDurationMicros();
unset( $this->pendingCommands[$requestId] );
}
}
public function commandFailed( \MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\CommandFailedEvent $event )
{
if ( array_key_exists( $event->getRequestId(), $this->pendingCommands ) )
{
unset( $this->pendingCommands[$event->getRequestId()] );
}
}
public function __destruct()
{
foreach( $this->queryShapeStats as $shape => $stats )
{
echo "Shape: ", $shape, " (", $stats['count'], ")\n ",
$stats['duration'] / $stats['count'], "µs\n\n";
}
}
}
$m = new \MongoDB\Driver\Manager( 'mongodb://localhost:27016' );
/* Add the subscriber */
\MongoDB\Driver\Monitoring\addSubscriber( new QueryTimeCollector() );
/* Do a bunch of queries */
$query = new \MongoDB\Driver\Query( [
'region_slug' => 'scotland-highlands', 'age' => [ '$gte' => 20 ]
] );
$cursor = $m->executeQuery( 'dramio.whisky', $query );
$query = new \MongoDB\Driver\Query( [
'region_slug' => 'scotland-lowlands', 'age' => [ '$gte' => 15 ]
] );
$cursor = $m->executeQuery( 'dramio.whisky', $query );
$query = new \MongoDB\Driver\Query( [ 'region_slug' => 'scotland-lowlands' ] );
$cursor = $m->executeQuery( 'dramio.whisky', $query );
?>
