Description

This would give insight into basic questions like "write rate to redis in ops/sec or bytes/sec" and "what are the main use cases". The lack of information is an obstacle to alternative store and multi-DC discussions (e.g. main stash migration work).

We'd have to exclude or have logic to handle WAN cache key prefixes.

Outcome

Have gauge metrics in Grafana for bytes written from Memcached via BagOStuff, by keygroup level (including WANObjectCache).
Have gauge metrics in Grafana for bytes read from Memcached via BagOStuff, by keygroup level (including WANObjectCache).).

See T254608 for the WANObjectCache-specific version of this (might be inspiration and/or become obsolete).

Krinkle moved this task from Doing (old) to Blocked (old) on the Performance-Team board.

Is this a blocker for migrating redis/mainstash to something else? Do we already know that the overall redis read traffic (which we can measure outside MW) would be too much for e.g. db-replicated (or someting else) to handle?

It appears rMW57325ba3bdce: objectcache: add statsd key metrics to BagOStuff classes is causing notices about undefined indexes:

Notice: Undefined index: wiki:user-quicktouched:id:1 in /vagrant/mediawiki/includes/libs/objectcache/MediumSpecificBagOStuff.php on line 1083
(10.0.2.15)
Notice: Undefined index: wiki:user-quicktouched:id:1 in /vagrant/mediawiki/includes/libs/objectcache/MediumSpecificBagOStuff.php on line 1098
(10.0.2.15)

I can only reproduce this on MediaWiki-Vagrant, which comes with a Redis setup out of the box. I don't know if this means Vagrant is misconfigured, or the aforementioned change is incomplete.
