This article describes how to troubleshoot TKE cluster issues caused by high loads.
High loads prevent node processes from getting the CPU time they need to function properly, which can lead to network timeout, health check failures, and service unavailability.
At times, a node’s load increases even though cpu ‘us’ (user) is low and cpu ‘id’ (idle) is high. This is usually caused by file I/O bottlenecks, which results in excessive I/O wait. In turn, this leads to high loads and impacts the performance of other processes.
This article uses top, atop, and iotop to diagnose if the performance issue is caused by disk I/O bottlenecks.
Log in to your node and use top
to query the current load. The following results are displayed:
Note:High
load average
means the node is handling a large amount of requests. You can use values in theCpu(s)
,Mem
,%CPU
, and%MEM
columns to see which processes are using a large portion of the resources.

Among the results is the CPU wa
value. wa
(wait) is the percent of CPU resources used by IO WAIT. By default, the result shows the average value of all cores. Press 1 to view the wa
value of each core, as shown below:
Note:
wa
is usually 0%. If it constantly floats above 1%, this indicates a storage bottleneck has been reached and storage cannot keep up with CPU processing speed.

to query disk I/O. In the following example, disk sda
shows busy 100%

Use man iotop
to view the descriptions of the following parameters:
-o, --only
Only show processes or threads actually doing I/O, instead of showing all processes or threads. This can be dynamically toggled by pressing o.
-P, --processes
Only show processes. Normally iotop shows all threads.
-a, --accumulated
Show accumulated I/O instead of bandwidth. In this mode, iotop shows the amount of I/O processes have done since iotop started.
Deploying non-Kubernetes services, such as databases, on the node may also cause high loads.
