release-23.1: util/mon: add cluster setting for disabling monitor tree tracking #121746

Merged

Backport 1/1 commits from #121722.

/cc @cockroachdb/release


We already have an env var for this, but it requires a node restart to apply. Having a cluster setting will allow us to disable the monitor tree tracking without the node restart, but it might also help us prove that it's Go GC deficiency to blame for the suspected memory leak: namely, if we find a cluster that has the leak and disable the tree tracking via the cluster setting, if it's Go GC deficiency, the leak would be cleaned up; if it's CRDB memory leak, then the leak will remain but will stop growing.

Epic: None

Release note: None

Release justification: low-risk improvement.

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Backports should only be created for serious
    issues
    or test-only changes.
  • Backports should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Backports should change as little code as possible.
  • Backports should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Backports should not add new functionality (except as defined
    here).
  • Backports must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
  • All backports must be reviewed by the owning areas TL and one additional
    TL. For more information as to how that review should be conducted, please consult the backport
    policy
    .
If your backport adds new functionality, please ensure that the following additional criteria are satisfied:
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters. State changes must be further protected such that nodes running old binaries will not be negatively impacted by the new state (with a mixed version test added).
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.
  • Your backport must be accompanied by a post to the appropriate Slack
    channel (#db-backports-point-releases or #db-backports-XX-X-release) for awareness and discussion.

Also, please add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this
backport.

It looks like your PR touches production code but doesn't add or edit any test code. Did you consider adding tests to your PR?
