Three doc conflicts, all inside Phase 10's own sections. Resolved by keeping
phase-9's corrections and re-applying phase-10's ownership of those sections on
top, rather than taking either side wholesale:
06 §6.8.3 — Status now says Phase 10 is implemented on THIS branch (phase-9's
copy said "not merged into this branch", true there, false here). The stale
"71 checks" enumeration and "Current Status" list are replaced by phase-9's
dynamic-count description plus a Known Gaps list that states the real reason
the rpc.process hierarchy is unassertable: rpc.process is HTTP-only, so a
WebSocket-only workload never produces it. Phase-9's CI Deliverable subsection
is carried through; exit criteria keep phase-10's tick state with phase-9's
corrected wording.
06 §6.8.3 Architecture — the automatic merge had resurrected phase-10's stale
2-node cluster prose and diagram over phase-9's 5-node correction. Reconciled
to phase-10's topology (native xrpld processes vs the containerised backend,
which is accurate) with phase-9's node count: 5 validators, and the collector
labelled OTLP + filelog rather than StatsD, which the config has never had.
Dropped the "all 26 metrics required" label in favour of the manifest.
06 §6.8.3 Key Implementation Details — two claims corrected against the code.
The StatsD m_dirty gauge fix describes a member that exists nowhere in the
repo, and the harness sets [insight] server=otel anyway, so gauges export
through an observable-gauge callback. The tx.receive attribute keys are bare
suppressed and tx_status, not dotted, and tx_status is set only on the
reject/known-bad/dropped paths, so it is absent on a successful receive.
09 §5c — kept phase-10's four-column table shape, with phase-9's corrected
counts: 40 of 41 emitted spans, 67 required attributes, 14 of 15 dashboards.
Phase10_taskList — dynamic inventory totals, the real RPC span trees, and exit
criteria ticked where the code on this branch closes them. Per-RPC timings are
recorded as not gated: regression-metrics.json defines only spans and job_queue.
Verified every hunk of the phase-10 diff falls inside a Phase-10-owned section
(06 §6.8.3, 09 §5c, Phase10_taskList, and the runbook's appended Phase 10
sections); no phase-9-owned text is modified from this branch.
The reference docs had drifted from the code in ways that break the reader
rather than merely misinform: PromQL examples that return no data, a rollback
flag that is a no-op, a sampling knob that does not exist, and two span parents
that moved. Code is treated as the truth throughout; where the code is the
defective side, the doc now records it as a known issue instead of describing
the bug as intent.
Renames the docs missed: histogram names gain the exporter's unit suffix
(ios_latency_milliseconds_bucket and four siblings), ledger_history_mismatch
gains _total, the StatsD-era quantile label gives way to le buckets,
rpc.request becomes rpc.http_request, traces_spanmetrics_calls_total becomes
span_calls_total, and the nine dotted xrpl.* span attributes are recorded as
renamed rather than left as live keys.
Re-parenting: consensus.update_positions and consensus.check are children of
consensus.establish, not of consensus.round.
Units and labels: state_accounting_*_duration is microseconds, not seconds;
cache_metrics label values are case-sensitive; object_count carries demangled
C++ type names. Nodestore read and write latency stays microseconds -- the
nanosecond accumulator change did not move the exported unit.
Adds what shipped but was undocumented: the ledger.acquire span, seven
consensus.round events, twelve span attributes, node_writes_duration_us, the
7-day validation-agreement window, the TxQ admission and reduce-relay metric
families, metrics_endpoint, and the phase-10 validation workflow.
Corrects claims that never held: 10% head sampling (it is fixed at 100%),
configurable redaction (it is unconditional), -DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF
(the flag is -Dtelemetry=OFF, default ON), FindOpenTelemetry.cmake and the
xrpl_telemetry target (neither exists), Promtail and a StatsD exporter in the
pipeline (neither exists), and Loki stream selection on job= (only
service_name is a stream label).
Phase 9 is marked complete, its provisioned alerting is attributed to the
branch that shipped it, and Phase 11 stays at zero except the one prerequisite
its code closes. Counts are reconciled repo-wide: 41 emitted span families,
15 dashboards on disk with 14 asserted, 13 alert rules in 5 groups.
Hardens the gate that let this drift through: Rule E of the naming check now
covers the reference docs, its allow-dotted marker is key-scoped and warns on
stale or empty use, a missing checked file is reported instead of silently
skipped, the test suite runs in CI, and doc paths trigger the check.
C++ and CMake changes are comment-only: three MetricsRegistry instrument names,
eight OTelCollector claims of a metric-name prefix that formatName never adds,
and the telemetry option's inverted default.
The Peer Disconnect Rate By Reason panel anchored its LogQL capture on
"\] ", which only matches a reason logged immediately after the [NNN]
peer-id prefix. PeerImp does not log that way: PeerImp::fail emits
"[NNN] <name> failed: <reason>" and the clean teardown emits
"close: Closed". Only ConnectAttempt::fail, which logs the bare reason,
ever matched. The panel's Timeout series was therefore connect-attempt
timeouts only, Ping Timeout was invisible, and PeerImp's own Closed was
uncounted.
Match all three prefixes and separate Ping Timeout from Connect Timeout.
Recorded as LogQL trap 11 in the runbook, alongside the other silent
failures this dashboard exposed.
Also document six overlay observability gaps found while auditing what
ping/pong and gossip traffic is actually tracked. All are pre-existing
and none is fixed here: the code fixes belong in develop-owned overlay
files (TrafficCount, OverlayImpl, PeerImp, PeerfinderManager), not on a
telemetry branch, and one of them needs a public signature change.
- 09 section 6: six known issues, each marked NOT IMPLEMENTED with
file:line evidence -- mtCLUSTER counted as unknown (overhead_cluster_*
always zero, 8 panels flatline), squelch_ignored byte counts always
zero, inbound/outbound byte-basis asymmetry plus a stale Total header
comment, ping/endpoints instrumentation absent, peer span coverage,
and PeerFinder exporting 2 of ~17 available readings.
- 02 section 2.3.2: add a Status column to the span catalog. Of 36
catalogued spans, 16 are live, 15 were never built, and 5 shipped
under different names (consensus.phase.establish became
consensus.establish, ledger.close became consensus.ledger_close,
rpc.request split into rpc.http_request/rpc.ws_message, txq.apply
became txq.apply_direct/txq.accept_tx). The catalog is a design
inventory; 09 section 1.1 remains authoritative for what emits.
- Phase9_taskList: tasks 9.14-9.17 tracking the deferred work, with
exit criteria checked only for what is actually done.
- Glossary: new Ping / pong keepalive term distinguishing ping timeout
from connect timeout. Correct the Cluster and Squelch entries, which
described behaviour the metrics cannot show.
The glossary header pointed at tasks/telemetry_terms.py as its
generator. That file is in no branch and nowhere on disk -- tasks/ is
gitignored one directory up -- so the header now states the file is
hand-maintained and gives the entry format.
Gates: check_otel_naming.py passes all 9 rules (Rule D over 555
dashboard queries, Rule E over the runbook); 19 doc anchors verified;
dashboard JSON valid with a one-line diff. No C++ changes.
Bumps the Loki pin this branch introduced, and updates the two docs that
name the version so they do not drift from the compose file:
- OpenTelemetryPlan/09-data-collection-reference.md (log backend section)
- OpenTelemetryPlan/Phase8_taskList.md (compose snippet)
The service runs the config bundled in the image rather than one from this
repo; `-verify-config` reports "config is valid" under 3.7.6, and native OTLP
ingestion at /otlp is unchanged across 3.4 -> 3.7.
The heading still read "Future:" while the section body documents the
validation suite this branch ships and gives commands to run it. Section 6.8.3
in 06-implementation-phases.md already drops its "Future Enhancement" marker
here; this makes 5c consistent with it.
The Phase 7 section existed twice in this file; the copies disagreed on this
one label. Consolidating on the single copy kept the older wording, but Jaeger
was removed from the project earlier in this chain, so Tempo is the only trace
backend the diagram should name.
These changes were developed on the phase-10 branch but belong to content this
branch and its upstreams introduced. Carrying them on phase-10 made its PR diff
report churn in files phase-10 does not own, and left each PR claiming a scope
that did not match its contents.
Moved here from phase-10 (identical content, no functional change):
- Dashboards: all 14 existing boards plus the new log-derived-insights board.
- Docs: telemetry-runbook.md (minus the workload/benchmark sections, which
describe phase-10 tooling) and the new telemetry-glossary.md.
- Grafana Cloud + Alloy export path: collector config, compose override, the
two .env examples and alloy/config.alloy.
- Local stack: otel-collector-config.yaml gains sub-millisecond and
second-scale spanmetrics buckets, pins unit=ms, and promotes
close_time_correct; integration-test.sh and TESTING.md follow.
- Node configs: exported_instance -> service_instance_id in comments; the
mainnet sample now logs at warning to bound log volume.
- Metrics code: Telemetry.cpp builds the metrics pipeline in the constructor
via initMetrics() so the global MeterProvider is published before any
subsystem creates a beast::insight instrument, and the histogram view keeps
each instrument's own name instead of collapsing them under one series.
MetricsRegistry gains a last_close_time gauge and skips negative job-queue
durations. OTelCollector drops an unused accessor.
- Naming CI: xrpl_work_item joins EXTERNAL_INFRA_LABELS and Rule E accepts the
dotted perf-iac resource-attribute form. This must travel with the
dashboards and runbook that reference those labels, or the rules fail.
- Doxygen input glob no longer recurses dot-directories.
Sections describing phase-10 tooling stay on phase-10 and keep their
"Future Enhancement" / "Planned, not yet implemented" markers here; phase-10
removes those markers when it lands the tooling.
Resolves the telemetry-startup conflict between the two branches. Both
sides move the telemetry start earlier in setup(); they disagree only on
how far the pipeline had been split at that point.
phase-1b (arriving) moved nodeIdentity_, setServiceInstanceId() and the
telemetry start up to just after the wallet DB is proven usable. phase-9
had split the metrics pipeline in two and left its copy of that block at
the old, later position.
Kept both intentions: the block stays at phase-1b's early position, and
metricsRegistry_ construction moves up with it so it precedes
startTelemetry() -- the metrics half is guarded on the registry existing,
so leaving the construction behind would have started tracing while
silently skipping metrics. phase-9's later copy is dropped as the stale
duplicate. The two-phase split is preserved: startTelemetryGauges() still
runs after overlay_ is constructed, because the observable callbacks read
it and getOverlay() asserts.
Net effect is that the metrics provider now starts earlier than on either
branch, and still before beginConsensus() emits the first spans and the
only operating-mode transition.
Telemetry must read state, never change it. Two defects here did change it,
plus three smaller correctness and privacy fixes.
doPathFind and doRipplePathFind read source_account / destination_account off
context.params to hash them into span attributes. context.params is non-const,
so those reads selected json::Value's non-const operator[], which inserts a
null for a missing key. The same object is later validated by
PathRequest::parseJson, whose first checks are isMember(source_account) and
isMember(destination_account) — so a request that omitted either field looked
present and the client received Malformed instead of Missing. Reads now go
through std::as_const, whose overload returns kNull without inserting.
PathRequest::doUpdate emitted pathfind_dest_currency as
to_string(saDstAmount_.asset()). For a non-XRP asset that renders as
"<issuer>/<currency>" with the issuer as a plaintext Base58 address, so a
plain account address reached the span pipeline even though every other
account here is hashed first. The issuer is now redacted and the currency
kept; an MPT asset renders as its issuance ID and carries no address.
PathRequestManager::updateAll created pathfind.update_all with an unscoped
SpanGuard. An unscoped guard takes the ambient span as its own parent but does
not itself become the ambient parent, so the pathfind.compute spans that
doUpdate creates never nested under it, contradicting the documented hierarchy.
It is now a scoped guard, held in std::optional because ScopedSpanGuard is
deliberately non-movable and so cannot be produced by a ternary. The skip when
there are no active subscriptions is preserved. updateAll is dispatched via
addJob and doUpdate runs synchronously, so the guard is constructed and
destroyed under the same context store, as ScopedSpanGuard requires.
The WebSocket entry point emitted the client-supplied command string directly.
That value becomes a Prometheus label, so arbitrary request input could drive
unbounded label cardinality. It is now resolved against the handler registry,
collapsing anything unrecognized to "unknown", matching what the HTTP path
already does.
Also: the pathfind.discover comment claimed future child spans could be
parented off it, which its unscoped guard cannot do — corrected to say what
would be required instead. Config-reference and task-list docs named the
parser setupTelemetry(); the API is makeTelemetrySetup().
Conflict in src/libxrpl/telemetry/SpanGuard.cpp: both sides added a different
include in the same alphabetical slot — phase-4 added <initializer_list>, the
incoming std::format change added <format>. Both are required, so both are
kept in sorted order.
Conflict in OpenTelemetryPlan/03-implementation-strategy.md §3.9: both
branches independently fixed the same defect (stale hand-maintained line
counts) in different ways.
- 1b (0ff947454c) stripped the Lines Added / Lines Changed columns but kept
the §3.9.1 and §3.9.2 tables.
- 1a (3ad525a48a) removed both sections outright.
Resolved in favour of 1a's deletion. The tables were pre-implementation
estimates with no source of truth, so trimming the columns only defers the
next drift; the file/component lists duplicated §3.1's directory tree, which
1b already keeps current (DiscardFlag.h, FilteringSpanProcessor). Keeping the
upstream resolution also stops the same conflict recurring on 1c..10.
1b-specific content verified intact after the merge: §3.1 retains the
DiscardFlag.h entry, the FilteringSpanProcessor and discard() annotations,
and the TracingInstrumentation removal. No references to the deleted
sections remain in any plan doc.
The §3.9.1 "Files Modified Summary" and §3.9.2 "Detailed File Impact"
tables carried hand-maintained per-component line counts that had drifted
from the plan: the Lines Added column summed to 1,565 while the Total row
claimed ~1,670. Files (34) and Lines Changed (120) reconciled, so only the
Added total was stale — residue from expanding Core Telemetry 5 -> 11 files.
Rather than patch one cell, remove both tables. They were pre-implementation
estimates with no source of truth, so any figure in them drifts again on the
next phase. §3.1's directory tree remains the canonical list of the 11 new
telemetry files, and §3.9.3-3.9.7 (risk, architectural impact, backward
compatibility, rollback) carry the assessment without inventing line counts.
No references to the removed sections exist elsewhere in the plan docs.
Three measurement fixes landed with no doc or dashboard change, leaving text
that is now false and one fix unusable from a dashboard.
Deferrals and timeouts are recorded in TimeoutCounter, a base shared by five
subclasses, so the all-lane pair could show the documented livelock
fingerprint while ledger acquisition was healthy. The runbook procedure and
the reference doc now name acquire_ledger_deferrals and
acquire_ledger_timeouts and say why the all-lane pair misleads; a new panel
plots the ledger-scoped pair as rates on one axis, since the divergence is
the signal. The existing panel is retitled All Lanes and points at it.
Writer mean depth is depthSum over depthSamples, not over insertCount, and
the measured 1.60 came from the biased estimator, so it and the 37% queueing
share derived from it are lower bounds rather than values. The reference
table now marks them as such, and the decision rule is shown to survive the
correction rather than depending on the exact figures.
Completions were never counted for acquisitions satisfied from the local
store, so the run that read zero across 510 seconds had in fact reached
full. Every place that treated a zero as a symptom now says it only means
something on a build that has the fix.
Also corrects the sync-diagnosis label-value count from 13 to 15 and a stale
source line range; the instrument count stays 35, because both new values
multiplex onto the existing nodestore_state gauge.
