Docker container uptime_ns may be negative

[gotson]

Relevant telegraf.conf:

# Read metrics about docker containers
[[inputs.docker]]
  ## Docker Endpoint
  ##   To use TCP, set endpoint = "tcp://[ip]:[port]"
  ##   To use environment variables (ie, docker-machine), set endpoint = "ENV"
  endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"

  ## Set to true to collect Swarm metrics(desired_replicas, running_replicas)
  gather_services = false

  ## Only collect metrics for these containers, collect all if empty
  container_names = []

  ## Containers to include and exclude. Globs accepted.
  ## Note that an empty array for both will include all containers
  container_name_include = []
  container_name_exclude = []

  ## Container states to include and exclude. Globs accepted.
  ## When empty only containers in the "running" state will be captured.
  ## example: container_state_include = ["created", "restarting", "running", "removing", "paused", "exited", "dead"]
  ## example: container_state_exclude = ["created", "restarting", "running", "removing", "paused", "exited", "dead"]
  # container_state_include = []
  # container_state_exclude = []

  ## Timeout for docker list, info, and stats commands
  timeout = "5s"

  ## Whether to report for each container per-device blkio (8:0, 8:1...) and
  ## network (eth0, eth1, ...) stats or not
  perdevice = true
  ## Whether to report for each container total blkio and network stats or not
  total = false
  ## Which environment variables should we use as a tag
  ##tag_env = ["JAVA_HOME", "HEAP_SIZE"]

  ## docker labels to include and exclude as tags.  Globs accepted.
  ## Note that an empty array for both will include all labels as tags
  docker_label_include = []
  docker_label_exclude = []

System info:

Telegraf v1.12.4 running inside Docker on Ubuntu 19.04

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run some containers

Expected behavior:

docker_container_status.uptime_ns should be positive.

Actual behavior:

For some containers, docker_container_status.uptime_ns is negative.

Additional info:

I have 23 containers running, and 7 of them have a negative uptime.

Here is a list of the uptimes extracted from Chronograf:

I just noticed that while the positive values increase over time, the negative values remain the same over time.

[danielnelson]

Can you run telegraf --input-filter=docker --test and add the output? Make sure to remove anything from the output if it is sensitive.

[gotson]

Here it is, i ran it inside the container that is running telegraf.
I have omitted lines that are not about docker_container_status.

[gotson]

You can see that most of the negative figures i gave in the first post are still the same in the telegraf output, showing they haven't changed.

[danielnelson]

Let's check what docker has to say about the container, can you run this curl command to grab the raw source data? Make sure to substitute a container_id that is reporting the negative uptime:

curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock 'http://localhost/containers/30a8c55f2427162f16d11728383a80a1b9c88cee64c86d06a75e780447d19c75/json'

[gotson]

Here is the telegraf output (just to make sure it's up to date ):

I think I know the issue. The values we are using for uptime are:

"StartedAt": "2019-11-06T16:00:05.099844819Z",
"FinishedAt": "2019-11-06T16:00:04.624365805Z",

Normally, I see this for a running container. In the code we check if the FinishedAt is this particular value and if so we ignore it and instead use the current time when calculating the time difference.

"StartedAt": "2019-11-07T01:22:44.564196479Z",
"FinishedAt": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"

It looks like if we docker restart the plugin though then we reproduce your values:

"StartedAt": "2019-11-07T01:25:10.660975449Z",
"FinishedAt": "2019-11-07T01:25:10.372043515Z"

For the fix I think we just need to ignore the FinishedAt time when the container is not exited.
