Accessing stats

Stats can be accessed in two ways:

control server

$ pumactl stats or GET /stats

Read more about pumactl and the control server in the README..

Puma.stats

Puma.stats produces a JSON string. Puma.stats_hash produces a ruby hash.

in single mode

Invoke Puma.stats anywhere in runtime, e.g. in a rails initializer:

# config/initializers/puma_stats.rb

Thread.new do
  loop do
    sleep 30
    puts Puma.stats
  end
end

in cluster mode

Invoke Puma.stats from the master process

# config/puma.rb

before_fork do
  Thread.new do
    loop do
      puts Puma.stats
      sleep 30
    end
  end
end

Explanation of stats

Puma.stats returns different information and a different structure depending on if Puma is in single vs. cluster mode. There is one top-level attribute that is common to both modes:

  • started_at: when Puma was started

single mode and individual workers in cluster mode

When Puma runs in single mode, these stats are available at the top level. When Puma runs in cluster mode, these stats are available within the worker_status array in a hash labeled last_status, in an array of hashes where one hash represents each worker.

  • backlog: requests that are waiting for an available thread to be available. if this is frequently above 0, you need more capacity.
  • running: how many threads are spawned. A spawned thread may be busy processing a request or waiting for a new request. If min_threads and max_threads are set to the same number, this will be a never-changing number (other than rare cases when a thread dies, etc).
  • busy_threads: running - how many threads are waiting to receive work + how many requests are waiting for a thread to pick them up. this is a "wholistic" stat reflecting the overall current state of work to be done and the capacity to do it.
  • pool_capacity: how many threads are waiting to receive work + max_threads - running. In a typical configuration where min_threads and max_threads are configured to the same number, this is simply how many threads are waiting to receive work. This number exists only as a stat and is not used for any internal decisions, unlike busy_theads, which is usually a more useful stat.
  • max_threads: the maximum number of threads Puma is configured to spool per worker
  • requests_count: the number of requests this worker has served since starting

cluster mode

  • phase: which phase of restart the process is in, during phased restart
  • workers: ??
  • booted_workers: how many workers currently running?
  • old_workers: ??
  • worker_status: array of hashes of info for each worker (see below)

worker status

  • started_at: when the worker started
  • pid: the process id of the worker process
  • index: each worker gets a number. if Puma is configured to have 3 workers, then this will be 0, 1, or 2
  • booted: if it's done booting [?]
  • last_checkin: Last time the worker responded to the master process' heartbeat check.
  • last_status: a hash of info about the worker's state handling requests. See the explanation for this in "single mode and individual workers in cluster mode" section above.

Examples

Here are two example stats hashes produced by Puma.stats:

single

{
  "started_at": "2021-01-14T07:12:35Z",
  "backlog": 0,
  "running": 5,
  "pool_capacity": 5,
  "max_threads": 5,
  "requests_count": 3
}

cluster

  "started_at": "2021-01-14T07:09:17Z",
  "workers": 2,
  "phase": 0,
  "booted_workers": 2,
