Record system resource usage with MLFlowHandler - #9052
Conversation
Add a log_system_metrics option to MLFlowHandler that samples CPU, memory, disk, network and GPU usage while a workflow runs, so that the resource usage is recorded through the handler rather than next to it. The sampling is done by mlflow itself and lands in the run of the workflow, under the system/ prefix. The handlers of a workflow share a run, so the run is sampled by the first handler that starts it and left alone by the others.

Move the tracking uri call inside the block that catches failures, so that a workflow cannot die because the uri could not be set, which was the intent of that block already. Reject a sampling interval or a sample count that is not positive, as mlflow does not define a behaviour for those, and document the new tests. Signed-off-by: uditmahato <uditmahato29271@gmail.com>

The tracking uri call was outside the block that catches failures, so a bad uri would have taken the workflow down with it, which is exactly what that block exists to prevent. Moved it inside. Sampling settings that are not positive are now rejected in the constructor rather than passed through to mlflow, since mlflow does not define a behaviour for them. Added a test for that, and docstrings on the new tests. Re-ran on a machine with a CUDA device: 13 system metrics recorded including the GPU series, sampling stopped at the end of the run, and a handler left at the default still records none. |
The monitor is only started when the mlflow system metrics module is importable, so the tests that assert it starts were relying on that being true in the environment they run in. Pin it for those tests and cover the case where it is missing, where the workflow should carry on with a warning. Signed-off-by: uditmahato <uditmahato29271@gmail.com>

The test for the default settings was asserting on state that close() clears anyway, so it would have passed even if the monitor had run. Assert that the monitor is never constructed instead. Also assert the monitor is given the run of the handler, that handlers sharing a run all resolve the same one, and match the expected warning rather than any warning. Cover the two failure paths: a monitor that cannot start, and one that cannot stop, neither of which should stop the workflow. Signed-off-by: uditmahato <uditmahato29271@gmail.com>

Fixes #7405 .
Description
MLFlowHandlernow takes alog_system_metricsoption that records CPU, memory, disk, network and GPU usage while a workflow runs. The issue asked for this to happen through the handler instead of being wired next to it, so the sampling now follows the run the handler already manages.The sampling itself is done by mlflow's own
SystemMetricsMonitor, as suggested in the issue, rather than by a sampler of our own. The metrics land in the same run as the workflow metrics under thesystem/prefix, which is what the MLflow UI reads for its system metrics tab.system_metrics_sampling_intervalandsystem_metrics_samples_before_loggingare passed through when set, otherwise the mlflow defaults apply. mlflow>=2.8.0 is needed for the monitor, which is below the version this repo already requires, so no dependency change.Two details worth flagging for review:
Handlers of a workflow share one run (
DEFAULT_MLFLOW_SETTINGSattaches a handler to the trainer, the validator and the evaluator), and a run sampled by three monitors at once gets three interleaved series. The run is therefore sampled by the first handler that starts it, and the other ones leave it alone. The handler that started the sampling is also the one that stops it, so an evaluator finishing early does not stop the sampling of a training run that is still going.SystemMetricsMonitorreads the run it samples through the global tracking URI rather than through the client, so enabling this sets the global tracking URI totracking_uri. Without it the monitor thread finds no run and stops silently, having logged nothing. The option is off by default, so a process tracking to several URIs at once is unaffected unless it opts in, and the docstring says so.Failures while starting or stopping the monitor are warned about rather than raised, since a workflow should not die because its resource usage could not be recorded.
Tested on Windows with mlflow 2.22.5 and a CUDA device: 13
system/*metrics recorded including 5 GPU series, sampling stopped at the end of the run, and a handler left at the default logs no system metrics at all.Note that #8894 is open on the same two files, so this will need a rebase if that one goes first.
