The table conflicted because both sides edited it: this branch had dropped
ledger_seq from the tx.apply row, and the incoming side updated the tx.receive
row. Kept both.
Alloy and the Grafana Cloud collector still declared a spanmetrics dimension
for an attribute tx.receive no longer sets, which only widens the label set.
The runbook's drop-path diagram still listed two tx_status values that no
longer exist, because the paths that set them now run before the span starts.
The validation owned its own push trigger and paths filter, which made it the one
build-and-test workflow outside the on-pr.yml plus reusable-*.yml pair the rest of
CI uses. Rename it to reusable-telemetry-validation.yml, take workflow_call, and
let on-pr.yml decide when it runs.
on-pr.yml gains a second changed-files list for the telemetry paths. Its existing
`go` flag is true for nearly every pull request, so gating on `go` alone would run
a self-hosted build and a 30-minute cluster on all of them.
The configure step no longer repeats the telemetry option. A command-line define
is written to the cache before the toolchain runs and wins over it, so it could
turn telemetry on with the package never fetched. build-xrpld reads the value the
build actually configured out of CMakeCache.txt and publishes it as a job output;
validate-telemetry runs only when that says telemetry is on, and every value CMake
does not accept as a boolean fails the job rather than skipping silently.
This branch rewrote the CMakeLists telemetry block and the build doc. Both now
describe a CMake option that no longer exists: the Conan option is the switch and
the generated toolchain carries it into CMake. The comment also recorded the
state of the change rather than the behaviour of the code.
The doc's "Building without telemetry" section told readers to pass
-Dtelemetry=OFF to CMake as well, which would override the toolchain rather than
follow it.
CMakeLists declared option(telemetry) with a default of its own, so the setting
had two homes and they were free to disagree. The Conan option already reaches
CMake without it: conanfile.py forwards the option into the generated toolchain,
which sets the variable this file reads, and every build here goes through Conan.
Drop the option() call and keep the if(telemetry) test. docs/build/telemetry.md
told readers a CMake option had to be set as well, so that goes with it.
Brings the MetricsRegistry split onto this branch. The pipeline half is now
xrpl::telemetry::MetricsRegistry in libxrpl; the observable gauges are
xrpl::telemetry::AppMetricGauges in xrpld.
This branch had added its own instrumentation to the pre-split class, so the
merge had to route each addition to the correct half:
- The thirteen gauges added here -- amendment block, cache hit-rate detail,
clock skew, job-queue saturation, ledger quorum publish, peer ledger supply,
rotation state, slot census, stall events, sync acquire, sync state, UNL
quorum, and the cache lock-hold observer -- all land on AppMetricGauges,
reading the core's meter and validation tracker through it.
- The pipeline additions stay in libxrpl: the consensus round-duration and
rotation-phase histogram views, the malloc-trim and dns/dial latency bucket
ladders, the job-stall counter, and the switch from literal metric names to
the MetricNames.h constants.
Git detected the pre-split MetricsRegistry.cpp and .h as renames of the gauge
files, so both sides' pipeline changes initially landed in the gauge half. They
were moved back, and the result was audited by inventory: every method
definition, instrument creation, view registration, and emitted string from
either side is present, with identical multiplicity.
MetricNames.h moves to include/xrpl/telemetry/ alongside the core. It has no
includes of its own and its two sibling name headers already live there, so
keeping it under src/ would leave an xrpld path in libxrpl's dependency
surface. Nineteen files follow it.
incrementStateChanges() stays removed. The labelled state_changes_total{from,to}
counter this branch introduced replaces it, and the test asserting the method is
absent is kept -- an unlabelled instrument alongside the labelled one would give
Prometheus two conflicting versions of one metric name.
Two tests that drove startAsyncGauges() against a mock ServiceRegistry are
dropped: xrpl_tests links only xrpl.libxrpl and cannot reach the gauge class.
Levelization regenerated. Both xrpld.telemetry loops become bidirectional
rather than one-way; neither is new.
MetricsRegistry did two jobs. It owned the OTel metrics pipeline, and it
registered the observable gauges whose callbacks read live application
services. The second job is what made the whole class xrpld-tier, so the
pipeline's lifecycle -- the recording() gate and the stop() teardown that
closes a use-after-free window -- could not be unit-tested in xrpl_tests.
Split it in two:
- xrpl::telemetry::MetricsRegistry (libxrpl) owns the exporter, provider,
meter, the 16 synchronous instruments, recording(), stop(), and the
record*/increment* methods.
- xrpl::telemetry::AppMetricGauges (xrpld) owns the 19 observable gauges
and their callbacks, holding a reference to the core and to the
ServiceRegistry.
MetricMacros.h and ValidationTracker move with the core. The macros need
only recording() and meter(), both core members; the core holds a tracker
by value, and a libxrpl header cannot include one from src/.
ApplicationImp owns both objects and sequences them. The core is built in
the member-init list, so every synchronous instrument exists before any
subsystem can record one. The gauges are armed once overlay_ exists, the
last service their callbacks read. Shutdown detaches the gauge callbacks
before the core drops the provider, and each shutdown step is isolated so
a failure in one cannot skip the others.
That detach call is new. detachCallbacks() had no callers, and the flag it
sets is read by the gauge callbacks but can no longer be written by the
core, so the caller now has to make the ordering explicit.
The telemetry module links xrpl.libxrpl.core and xrpl.libxrpl.protocol
PUBLIC: ValidationTracker.h takes a LedgerIndex and MetricMacros.h takes a
ServiceRegistry, both in interfaces a consumer compiles against.
Adds a MetricsRegistry gtest that drives an enabled core with telemetry on
and pins the recording() gate, stop() leaving the registry inert, and
stop() being idempotent. The libxrpl test tree no longer depends on
xrpld.telemetry at all, and the two CMake workarounds that compiled xrpld
sources into xrpl_tests are gone.
Documentation and dashboard source links follow the code to their new
paths, split between the two classes by which one now defines each metric.
Review follow-up on the freshen lock-hold fix:
- Drop host names, dates and one-site figures from the new comments,
harness notes and docs; explain the mechanism in general terms.
- RotationPhase stores its stage and cache labels as owned std::string,
not std::string_view: the ctor still takes views so the label
constants pass without a copy, but a member view would dangle if a
caller ever passed a temporary. freshenCache/recordFreshen take the
cache name by std::string_view (read-only, call-scoped).
- The new DatabaseRotating test called fetchNodeObject through the
derived type, whose private override hides the public base method;
call it through Database& instead. This was the dev-box build break.
- freshenCache reports the exact fetched count when a health abort cuts
it short, and stops labelling the per-partition hold 'getKeys'.
- Remove a [[maybe_unused]] that silenced no warning (the build sets
-Wno-unused-parameter and disables misc-unused-parameters).
The runbook provenance paragraph named the internal AWS dev box and a
build hash and dates. State what was measured (one mainnet node, same
host and binary, differing only in store state) without the deployment
detail, which belongs in an internal runbook, not the public repo.
The online-delete rotation's cache freshen called TaggedCache::getKeys(),
which held the cache mutex while copying every key. On the dev box's 26
million entry tree-node cache that hold lasted 5-6 s, froze every job
that touches the cache, and dropped the RocksDB node out of sync once per
rotation: each "getKeys held the lock" warning was followed within 1-5 s
by "View of consensus changed" (5 of 5 rotations on 2026-09-15).
Copy the keys one map partition at a time instead. TaggedCache gains
forEachKeyPartition(), which holds the mutex only while one partition's
keys are copied and runs the callback with the mutex released, so the
longest hold shrinks by the partition count (8 on the dev box). The
freshen.keys rotation phase no longer exists as one step, so its span,
stage value, harness entries and docs are removed; the per-partition hold
still shows on the cache lock-hold peak gauge.
Measure what the freshen achieves, which no existing signal did.
DatabaseRotating gains duplicateCopyForwardTotal(), counting archive
copies made on duplicate fetches (the rotation's own copy walk and
freshen); copyForwardTotal() deliberately excludes those. The freshen
phase records rotation_freshen_keys_total{cache,outcome} and stamps
key_count, cache and keys_copied on its span; the copy phase stamps
nodes_copied. A warn log line per freshen reports the same numbers, and
the ledger-sync-health dashboard gets a Rotation Freshen Yield panel.
Log the "STATE->" operating-mode change at warn instead of info. It is
the only record of a mode change with an exact timestamp; the
state_changes_total counter is scraped once a minute and cannot order a
flap against a multi-second event.
Tests: five GTests for forEachKeyPartition (every key once, empty cache,
mutex free during the callback, concurrent insert, lock-hold peak), three
for duplicateCopyForwardTotal over two memory backends, one for the new
counter's series, and the new name literals.
The counter and event landed in the same commit as Task 6, so the runbook
recipe's step 5 stands on its own now.

Adds `consensus_view_change_total{consensus_mode}` and a `view.change` event
on the round span, both fired from `RCLConsensus::Adaptor::getPrevLedger`
on the same transition-into-WrongLedger edge that already calls
`consensusViewChange()`. The counter is the exact detector for
"consensus disagreed with this node's view this minute"; the event lands the
disagreement on the same trace that carries the round.
`net_ledger_prefix` (16 hex chars) joins `prev_ledger_prefix` on the event,
so a Tempo view of one flap shows both ledger identities on a single line.
`consensus_mode` labels the mode being left (never WrongLedger itself).
Together with the rotation-phase spans, this closes the proof chain a
rotation-driven `full`->`syncing` flap needs — the runbook's step 5
resolves now that the counter and event exist.

Four doc conflicts, all where this branch had rewritten a passage that upstream
had only renamed. This branch's text is kept in seven of the eight hunks and
the spanmetrics -> span_metrics and otlp/tempo -> otlp_grpc/tempo spellings
carried into it, so the rewrite is not lost and the names stay current.
The exception is the TESTING.md span-call-count comment, where the incoming
side is the fuller text: it explains that the span_ prefix comes from the
connector's namespace setting. That side is taken.
Metric names are untouched — span_calls_total and traces_span_metrics_* are
produced by the connector's namespace, not by its component name.
Two conflicts, both where this branch's log-pipeline additions sat next to the
upstream spanmetrics -> span_metrics rename: the config header comment, which
this branch extended with a logs line, and the integration test, where the
log-correlation step precedes the span-metrics step. This branch's content is
kept in both and the rename carried into it.
Four conflicts, all where this branch's replacement of the StatsD path with
native OTLP met the upstream spanmetrics -> span_metrics rename. This branch's
design wins in every case; the rename is carried into its text rather than
reverting it, so the connector, its pipeline references, the header comment,
the TESTING.md summary and the runbook all use span_metrics while keeping the
native-OTLP wording.
One addition beyond a straight take-a-side: publish the collector's health
check port. This branch restored the health_check extension and its own
TESTING.md polls http://localhost:13133/ to decide the collector is ready, but
the port was never published on this side of docker-compose.yml, so that check
could not pass from the host. Verified the merged config loads with no
deprecation warnings and that 13133 is published exactly once.
No metric name changed: traces_span_metrics_* already read that way before the
rename, which only ever touched component names and prose.
The three tracker files conflicted because both sides had rewritten them. Took
the incoming lock-free class, then put this branch's two monotonic accessors
back on top of it: totalAgreementsEver() and totalMissedEver(), backed by a
gross pair incremented at first classification and left alone by the repair
branch. MetricsRegistry reads both, so dropping them would not compile.
The test file kept the incoming suite, which renames every case, and gained
this branch's two gross-counter cases adapted to the injected clock.
The pinned collector warns on every start that "spanmetrics" is a deprecated
alias for "span_metrics". Rename the connector, its pipeline references and
the prose that names it.
The derived metric names are untouched. They come from the connector's
`namespace` setting rather than its component name, so occurrences inside a
metric name such as traces_spanmetrics_calls_total are deliberately left as
they are; renaming those would break every span panel. The rename is applied
only to the bare word, never where it is joined to a metric name by
underscores.
This branch introduces the connector, so the change belongs here.
The collector reads the per-node directory off the log file path and stamps it
as the Loki label service_instance_id, so the directory name has to equal the
node's own [telemetry] service_instance_id or log lines carry a node name that
no trace or metric shares and nothing joins.
Both harness scripts disagreed with themselves: run-full-validation.sh wrote to
node$i while setting validator-${i}, and benchmark.sh wrote to node$i while
setting bench-node-${i}. Rename the directories to match the ids rather than
the reverse, so no existing trace or metric label value moves and no harness
expectation has to be re-checked. Only path references are renamed; the
human-readable "node$i" in log and error messages is left as prose.
The config template is not rendered by any script, so its DATA_DIR
documentation gains a note about the same constraint instead.
Also rename the deprecated otlphttp/filelog collector component names in the
harness scripts and docs.
Alloy carried no log pipeline at all: no loki.source, loki.write or
loki.process anywhere in the config, against a working metrics and OTLP path.
Any deployment fed through Alloy rather than the reference collector therefore
sent traces and metrics but no logs, so log-to-trace correlation was
unavailable there even though both ends of the link were configured.
Logs now leave through the same otlphttp exporter as the other two signals, so
all three carry one resource identity. Alloy's own filelog receiver would have
been the closest match to the reference collector, but it is still
public-preview and refuses to load unless the service is started with
--stability.level=public-preview, which would mean editing the unit on a box
reachable only by RunCommand. The Loki source components are generally
available, so they are used and bridged into OTLP by otelcol.receiver.loki;
the service needs no extra flag.
That bridge hands over an empty resource and puts everything on the log
record, so the transform sets the resource attributes in log context.
service.instance.id is concatenated in from XRPLD_HOST_LABEL because OTTL has
no env() converter, and it is a resource attribute rather than a record one
because only resource attributes are promoted to indexed Loki labels. It must
equal the node's own service_instance_id or the logs join nothing. devnet
writes one flat file rather than a per-node directory, so identity cannot be
read off the path the way the docker collector does it; XRPLD_LOG_GLOB
overrides the path for other layouts.
The line is parsed for its own timestamp, severity and trace context, and
trace_id/span_id are set on the first-class OTLP record fields so Grafana
links a log to its trace without re-parsing the body. Lines emitted outside a
sampled span keep an empty trace id rather than an invalid one.
Also carry the node-identity operators into the Grafana Cloud collector
variant, align this config's log directory with its service_instance_id, and
rename the deprecated otlphttp/filelog collector component names. Alloy's
otelcol.exporter.otlphttp is that product's own name and is unchanged.
Addresses the open review findings on this branch.
The log root was never delivered at all. Docker creates a missing bind-mount
source as root, Config::getDebugLogFile() only warns when it cannot create the
network subdirectory inside it, and Application carries on. The node therefore
looked healthy while writing no debug.log, and Loki stayed empty with no error
at any layer. docker/telemetry/data/logs has in fact been root-owned in a
working checkout since it was first created. A one-shot xrpld-logdir-init
service now creates the directory and hands it to XRPLD_UID/XRPLD_GID,
following the pattern the storage-init service already uses.
Ingested logs carried no node identity, so a multi-node stack collapsed into
one indistinguishable stream while every dashboard filters on
service_instance_id. The receiver now sets include_file_path and lifts the
per-node directory onto the resource attribute service.instance.id, which is
on the allow-list Loki promotes to an indexed stream label. A record attribute
would only become structured metadata and could not be used in a selector.
For that to join anything the directory name has to equal the emitter's
service_instance_id, so the node directories are renamed to match: node$i
becomes Node-$i, and the standalone config writes to logs/xrpld-standalone.
The integration test aborted before reporting. Under set -o pipefail the
grep | head -1 pipeline is killed by SIGPIPE once the log exceeds the pipe
buffer, so the run exited 141 somewhere past a few hundred matching lines and
read as a flaky test. grep -m1 stops on its own. The test also verified the
local file and Tempo but never that a line reached Loki, which is the one hop
this branch adds, so a bounded Loki assertion is added alongside a readiness
wait.
Documentation fixes: the Tempo cross-check counted .data, but Tempo returns
OTLP shape so the array is batches and one trace can span several; the Loki
step used the instant /query endpoint, which rejects a bare log selector with
HTTP 400 and a text/plain body, so jq could never parse it and the step never
printed a number even when ingestion worked. The filelog comment claimed six
fractional digits where the node always emits nine. The two flowcharts used
<br/>, carried no legend, and advertised GetSpan(), which Log.cpp deliberately
avoids in favour of reading the thread-local context directly.
Finally, rename the deprecated collector component names: the pinned
collector warns on every start that otlphttp and filelog are aliases for
otlp_http and file_log. Alloy's otelcol.exporter.otlphttp and
otelcol.receiver.filelog are that product's own component names and are not
deprecated, so they are left alone.
The workload README contradicted itself on --skip-loki: one bullet said CI always
passes it and so the two log-correlation checks are never exercised, another said
the workflow no longer passes it. The workflow mentions the flag nowhere, so the
first was the stale half.
Other claims checked against the tree and corrected:
- both the README and the plan doc described the push trigger as filtered on
branch names. The workflow has no branches filter, deliberately, because
GitHub ANDs branches with paths
- the plan doc printed 6 of the workflow's 12 paths globs, and claimed the
workflow was 367 lines against an actual 451. The glob block is now generated
from the workflow, and the line count dropped rather than restated
- rpcNOT_SUPPORTED does not exist anywhere in the tree. The symbol is
RpcNotSupported, and the refusal sites are RipplePathFind.cpp:59-60 and
PathFind.cpp:50-51, not :48-49 and :39
- RCLConsensus.cpp:666 and :663 are not log or event lines; the tx.included event
is at :720 and the per-transaction debug log at :715
- LedgerMaster.cpp:463 is fixIndex, not the ledger.store span, which is at :470
- ServerHandler.cpp:705 is inside makeJsonError; processRequest is at :718
- file counts: docker/telemetry/workload/ is 25 files, include/xrpl/telemetry/ 13
- the optional-span bullet named five causes covering 10 of 16 entries, omitting
the txq.* family and the WebSocket handshake
- the /api/v1/series choice was attributed to stale StatsD gauges; this harness
runs no StatsD
A line number in run-full-validation.sh was cited in five places and drifts on
every edit to that file, so those now name the file only. The keygen helper's
header records what production does instead -- validator-keys-tool create_keys
then create_token, keeping the master key off the node -- and why a disposable
cluster does not.
Every citation below was checked against the file it names:
- LedgerMaster.cpp:463 is fixIndex, not the ledger.store span; that guard is at
:470 and the insert it wraps at :476
- LedgerMaster.cpp:987 is the tvc assignment, which sits BEFORE the tvc < minVal
return at :988; the ledger.validate span opens at :1003
- ServerHandler.cpp:705 is inside makeJsonError; processRequest is at :718
- docker-compose.yml:71 and :75 are comments in the collector's volume block;
the loki service is at :112 and its config command at :116
Two claims were also wrong rather than merely stale. Log-trace correlation is
gated in CI, because the workflow passes no --skip-loki, and the separate check
in integration-test.sh is run by no workflow at all. The Loki label note
described the Grafana Cloud collector config rather than the local one: only the
cloud variant sets job=xrpld, and the local config's own comment says to select
on service_name. The dashboards carry 35 Loki queries, not 38.
