Thanos: Thanos sidecar: internal server shutdown after changes within a config file (via a configmap)
Thanos, Prometheus and Golang version used:
thanos: 0.12.0
prometheus: 2.17.1
go: 1.13
NB I'm aware of the https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/releases/tag/v0.12.1 release, however regarding fixes within that release I presume this issue is still here.
Object Storage Provider:
ceph s3
What happened:
A thanos sidecar gets restarted from time to time when a config file has been changed (as a reloaded configmap).
What you expected to happen:
No restarts after such changes.
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Run a pod with both prometheus and thanos sidecar containers and update a config file (a configmap).

I can confirm we're experiencing this issue with thanos 0.12.1.

Hey @hawran, it looks like when a configuration change happens while sidecar in a reload cycle it crashes.
How frequently have you been observing this? Have you observed this with any of the previous versions?
In the meanwhile, I will investigate more.

Hey @hawran, it looks like when a configuration change happens while sidecar in a reload cycle it crashes.
How frequently have you been observing this?
Yes.
A configuration file was changed, deployed to kubernetes (as a configmap) and some "reload" action was expected.
Sometimes it went smoothly, sometimes there were those shutdowns (hence "_container restart_" alerts) there.
Have you observed this with any of the previous versions?
I can trace back similar problems with version 0.10.1.
In the meanwhile, I will investigate more.
Thank you.

After quick investigation, I think we had occurence before the 0.12.x release. to be confirmed.
More info (openshift client + server version) where we succeed to reproduce and from where the configmap is changed (as json file --- oc apply -f configmap.json) Containing prometheus alert rules.

@hawran @ahurtaud Thanks for further information. I'm gonna mark this as a bug. I think we have to either handle this error gracefully or immediately (?) read the contents of the file when before we start the update loop.

Seeing this quite often too.
I have a test at https://github.com/ebabani/thanos/blob/eb/lstat-error/pkg/reloader/reloader_test.go#L261 to reproduce this issue. Seems timing dependent but I get an error ~50% of the time.
Definitely related to how k8s updates the volume on configmap changes.

Repro test is super helpful thanks! Feel free to propose a fix, otherwise we will take a look soon (:

@bwplotka What do you think of logging the error and increase the watchErrors metric if the error cause is os.PathError, and otherwise return it?
https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/blob/master/pkg/reloader/reloader.go#L221-L223
ebabani
on 28 Jul 2020
@ebabani It could be a good strategy. Especially this part is not the main functionality of the sidecar. @bwplotka already mentioned it in the comments.
// TODO(bwplotka): There is no need to get the process down in this case and decrease availability, handle the error in a different way.
@ebabani Are you actively working on it? It'd be awesome to have this fix in the upcoming release in two weeks.
