Tuned Chef Cookbook

Description

Installs tuned and enables/disables tuned profiles. For more information on tuned please see the Red Hat documentation on this daemon

Usage

Attribute overview

Define some attributes to be used by the 'tuned_profile' resource.
Attributes have 3 levels

default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']

- used as the profile filename must match resource instance name

default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['cpu']

• creates a heading in the profile init file [cpu]

default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['cpu']['governor'] = 'performance'

• creates an key value entry in the profile file under the '[cpu]' heading

Attribute example

default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['cpu']['governor'] = 'performance'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['cpu']['energy_perf_bias'] = 'performance'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['cpu']['min_perf_pct'] = '100'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['disk']['readahead'] = '4096'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['vm']['transparent_hugepage'] = 'never'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['vm']['transparent_hugepage.defrag'] = 'never'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['sysctl']['kernel.sched_wakeup_granularity_ns'] = '15000000'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['sysctl']['kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns'] = '10000000'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['sysctl']['vm.dirty_background_ratio'] = '10'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['sysctl']['vm.dirty_ratio'] = '30'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['main']['include'] = 'latency-performance'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['sysctl']['vm.swappiness'] = '30'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['sysfs']['/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled'] = 'never'
default['tuned']['profile']['myprofile']['sysfs']['/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag'] = 'never'

The above example attributes when combined with a resource call:

tuned_profile 'myprofile' do
 action [:create, :enable]
end

Will create a file

• /usr/lib/tuned/myprofile/tuned.conf

With the following contents:

# Dynamically generated default tuned profile file, applied by Chef!
[main]
include=latency-performance
[cpu]
governor=performance
energy_perf_bias=performance
min_perf_pct=100
[disk]
readahead=4096
[sysctl]
kernel.sched_wakeup_granularity_ns=15000000
kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns=10000000
vm.dirty_background_ratio=10
vm.dirty_ratio=30
vm.swappiness=30
[sysfs]
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled=never
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag=never
[vm]
transparent_hugepage=never
transparent_hugepage.defrag=never

Installs tuned if not already installed

create and enable a profile

tuned_profile 'myprofile' do
 action [:create, :enable]
end

enable a default system profile

See Red Hat Documentation for availale defaults

tuned_profile 'balanced' do
action [:enable]
end


disable a profile (reverts to default)

tuned_profile 'myprofile' do
  action [:disable]
end

default to tuned recommended profile

tuned_profile 'myprofile' do
  action [:default]
end

Property:

Property example:

tuned_profile 'lwrp_profile' do
  main (include: 'latency-performance')
  plugins(cpu: {
            governor: 'performance',
            energy_perf_bias: 'performance'
          })
  action [:create, :enable]
end
