How I did it
Create telemetry image from gnmi docker image.
Enable gnmi container and disable telemetry container by default.
How to verify it
Run end to end test.
#### Why I did it
To fix the logic introduced by [[memory_checker] Do not check memory usage of containers which are not created #11129](https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-buildimage/pull/11129).
There could be a scenario before the reboot, where
1. The `docker service` has stopped
2. In a very short period of time, the monit service performs the `root@sonic:/home/admin# monit status container_memory_telemetry`
In such scenario, the `memory_checker` script will throw an error to the syslog:
```
ERR memory_checker: Failed to retrieve the running container list from docker daemon! Error message is: 'Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborted.', FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory'))'
```
But, actually, this scenario is a correct behavior, because when the docker service is stopped, the Unix socket is destroyed and that is why we could see the `FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory'` exception in the syslog.
#### How I did it
Change the log severity to the warning and changed the return value.
#### How to verify it
It is really hard to catch the exact moment described in the `Why I did it` section.
In order to check the logic:
1. Change the Unix socket path to non-existing in [/usr/bin/memory_checker](47742dfc2c/files/image_config/monit/memory_checker (L139)) file on the switch.
2. Execute the `root@sonic:/home/admin# monit restart container_memory_telemetry`
3. Check the syslog for such messages:
```
WARNING memory_checker: Failed to retrieve the running container list from docker daemon! Error message is: 'Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborte
d.', FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory'))'
INFO memory_checker: [memory_checker] Exits without checking memory usage since container 'telemetry' is not running!
```

#### Why I did it
`subprocess` is used with `shell=True`, which is very dangerous for shell injection.
`os` - not secure against maliciously constructed input and dangerous if used to evaluate dynamic content
#### How I did it
remove `shell=True`, use `shell=False`
Replace `os` by `subprocess`

Why I did it
On a supervisor card in a chassis, syncd/teamd/swss/lldp etc dockers are created for each Switch Fabric card. However, not all chassis would have all the switch fabric cards present. In this case, only dockers for Switch Fabrics present would be created.
The monit 'container_checker' fails in this scenario as it is expecting dockers for all Switch Fabrics (based on NUM_ASIC defined in asic.conf file).
Fix in Monit memory_checker plugin. Skip fetching running containers if docker engine is down (can happen in deinit).
This PR fixes issue #11472.
Signed-off-by: liora liora@nvidia.com
Why I did it
In the case where Monit runs during deinit flow, memory_checker plugin is fetching the running containers without checking if Docker service is still running. I added this check.
How I did it
Use systemctl is-active to check if Docker engine is still running.
How to verify it
Use systemctl to stop docker engine and reload Monit, no errors in log and relevant print appears in log.

Why I did it
This PR aims to fix an issue (#10088) by enhancing the script memory_checker.
Specifically, if container is not created successfully during device is booted/rebooted, then memory_checker do not need check its memory usage.
How I did it
In the script memory_checker, a function is added to get names of running containers. If the specified container name is not in current running container list, then this script will exit without checking its memory usage.
How to verify it
I tested on a lab device by following the steps:
Stops telemetry container with command sudo systemctl stop telemetry.service
Removes telemetry container with command docker rm telemetry
Checks whether the script memory_checker ran by Monit will generate the syslog message saying it will exit without checking memory usage of telemetry.
Signed-off-by: Yong Zhao <yozhao@microsoft.com>
Why I did it
This PR aims to fix the Monit issue which shows Monit can't reset its counter when monitoring memory usage of telemetry container.
Specifically the Monit configuration file related to monitoring memory usage of telemetry container is as following:
check program container_memory_telemetry with path "/usr/bin/memory_checker telemetry 419430400"
if status == 3 for 10 times within 20 cycles then exec "/usr/bin/restart_service telemetry"
If memory usage of telemetry container is larger than 400MB for 10 times within 20 cycles (minutes), then it will be restarted.
Recently we observed, after telemetry container was restarted, its memory usage continuously increased from 400MB to 11GB within 1 hour, but it was not restarted anymore during this 1 hour sliding window.
The reason is Monit can't reset its counter to count again and Monit can reset its counter if and only if the status of monitored service was changed from Status failed to Status ok. However, during this 1 hour sliding window, the status of monitored service was not changed from Status failed to Status ok.
Currently for each service monitored by Monit, there will be an entry showing the monitoring status, monitoring mode etc. For example, the following output from command sudo monit status shows the status of monitored service to monitor memory usage of telemetry:
Program 'container_memory_telemetry'
status Status ok
monitoring status Monitored
monitoring mode active
on reboot start
last exit value 0
last output -
data collected Sat, 19 Mar 2022 19:56:26
Every 1 minute, Monit will run the script to check the memory usage of telemetry and update the counter if memory usage is larger than 400MB. If Monit checked the counter and found memory usage of telemetry is larger than 400MB for 10 times
within 20 minutes, then telemetry container was restarted. Following is an example status of monitored service:
Program 'container_memory_telemetry'
status Status failed
monitoring status Monitored
monitoring mode active
on reboot start
last exit value 0
last output -
data collected Tue, 01 Feb 2022 22:52:55
After telemetry container was restarted. we found memory usage of telemetry increased rapidly from around 100MB to more than 400MB during 1 minute and status of monitored service did not have a chance to be changed from Status failed to Status ok.
How I did it
In order to provide a workaround for this issue, Monit recently introduced another syntax format repeat every <n> cycles related to exec. This new syntax format will enable Monit repeat executing the background script if the error persists for a given number of cycles.
How to verify it
I verified this change on lab device str-s6000-acs-12. Another pytest PR (Azure/sonic-mgmt#5492) is submitted in sonic-mgmt repo for review.

Why I did it
Currently we leveraged the Supervisor to monitor the running status of critical processes in each container and it is more reliable and flexible than doing the monitoring by Monit. So we removed the functionality of monitoring the critical processes by Monit.
How I did it
I removed the script process_checker and corresponding Monit configuration entries of critical processes.

Why I did it
This PR aims to monitor the memory usage of streaming telemetry container and restart streaming telemetry container if memory usage is larger than the pre-defined threshold.
How I did it
I borrowed the system tool Monit to run a script memory_checker which will periodically check the memory usage of streaming telemetry container. If the memory usage of telemetry container is larger than the pre-defined threshold for 10 times during 20 cycles, then an alerting message will be written into syslog and at the same time Monit will run the script restart_service to restart the streaming telemetry container.
How to verify it
I verified this implementation on device str-7260cx3-acs-1.
Why I did it
Finding running containers through "docker ps" breaks when kubernetes deploys container, as the names are mangled.
How I did it
The data is is available from FEATURE table, which takes care of kubernetes deployment too.
How to verify it
Deploy a feature via kubernetes and don't expect error from container_check.

Why I did it
Since we introduced a new value always_disabled for the state field in FEATURE table, the expected running container list
should exclude the always_diabled containers. This bug was found by nightly test and posted at here: issue. This PR fixes#7210.
How I did it
I added a logic condition to decide whether the value of state field of a container was always_disabled or not.

**- Why I did it**
This PR aims to monitor the running status of each container. Currently the auto-restart feature was enabled. If a critical process exited unexpected, the container will be restarted. If the container was restarted 3 times during 20 minutes, then it will not run anymore unless we cleared the flag using the command `sudo systemctl reset-failed <container_name>` manually.
**- How I did it**
We will employ Monit to monitor a script. This script will generate the expected running container list and compare it with the current running containers. If there are containers which were expected to run but were not running, then an alerting message will be written into syslog.
**- How to verify it**
I tested this feature on a lab device `str-a7050-acs-3` which has single ASIC and `str2-n3164-acs-3` which has a Multi-ASIC. First I manually stopped a container by running the command `sudo systemctl stop <container_name>`, then I checked whether there was an alerting message in the syslog.

Why/How I did:
Make sure first error syslog is triggered based on FAULT TOLERANCE condition.
Added support of repeat clause with alert action. This is used as trigger
for generation of periodic syslog error messages if error is persistent
Updated the monit conf files with repeat every x cycles for the alert action
The psutil library used in process_checker create a cache for each
process when calling process_iter. So, there is some possibility that
one process exists when calling process_iter, but not exists when
calling cmdline, which will raise a NoSuchProcess exception. This commit
fix the issue.

We are moving toward building all Python packages for SONiC as wheel packages rather than Debian packages. This will also allow us to more easily transition to Python 3.
Python files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities" Pyhton wheel. Data files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities-data" Debian package.
**- How I did it**
- Build and install sonic-utilities as a Python package
- Remove explicit installation of wheel dependencies, as these will now get installed implicitly by pip when installing sonic-utilities as a wheel
- Build and install new sonic-utilities-data package to install data files required by sonic-utilities applications
- Update all references to sonic-utilities scripts/entrypoints to either reference the new /usr/local/bin/ location or remove absolute path entirely where applicable
