resolveNodePublicKey() returned std::nullopt in three real cases: a first boot
with no wallet database, a standalone run (its wallet is a private temporary
database), and --newnodeid. Telemetry's resources are built during
ApplicationImp's member-init list and are immutable, so on those runs the node
reported an empty service.instance.id and no xrpl.node.id for the whole run,
while setup() minted a key moments later and patched only the tracer.
Replace it with resolveNodeIdentity(), which always returns a keypair: derived
from a configured seed, else read from an existing wallet database, else
minted. Main.cpp passes that pair to makeApplication(), ApplicationImp stores
it in nodeIdentity_ -- now declared before telemetry_ and no longer an optional,
because it is always set -- and builds the telemetry resource from it.
setup() calls getNodeIdentity(), which now persists rather than mints: it
stores the resolved pair when the wallet holds no identity, adopts the stored
one when it does, and clears first for --newnodeid. The write stays in setup()
because that is where the database exists; a standalone run has no persistent
wallet to write to, which is why the pair has to be decided before
construction rather than read back afterwards. Wallet gains storeNodeIdentity()
for that write, and getNodeIdentity(session) now uses it instead of repeating
the insert.
The three-argument makeApplication() mints a keypair, so jtx::Env and any other
test Application behave as a standalone run always did.
Also fold the three hand-rolled "meter from a NoopMeterProvider" copies into
telemetry::noopMeter(): the base-pointer call and the kMeterVersion argument are
both easy to get wrong alone, and the meter identity has to match the one the
histogram views select on.
The new gtest covers the wallet half: store-then-read, store not replacing an
existing identity, clear-then-store, and that the mint path persists. It adds
the tests.libxrpl > xrpl.rdb levelization edge, regenerated here.
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 pinned collector warns on every start that "otlp" is a deprecated alias
for "otlp_grpc". Rename the trace exporter to otlp_grpc/tempo.
Only the exporter is affected. The otlp RECEIVER keeps its name: it serves
both gRPC and HTTP under one component and is not deprecated, verified by
renaming the exporter alone and seeing the warning stop.
This belongs on this branch because it introduces the exporter, and it is the
last of four deprecated aliases in the collector config; the other three are
owned by later branches in the chain.
Two conflicts, both additive.
TelemetryConfig.cpp: this branch added requireHttpsEndpoint next to
requireReadableFile; upstream added readConsensusTraceStrategy at the same spot.
Both kept.
05-configuration-reference.md: this branch added the two client-certificate rows
while upstream corrected the consensus strategy value from attribute to random.
Both kept. Also drops the stale "not yet implemented" row for
consensus_trace_strategy, which the merged table now contradicts twice over: the
option is parsed, and its value is no longer spelled attribute.
retries_remaining is stamped on the txq.accept_tx span before the
transaction is applied and before the retry counter is decremented, so a
span with txq_status="retried" always shows a non-zero count and exhaustion
shows up as txq_status="failed" with zero. The attribute comment said only
"retries left before discard", which reads as a post-decrement value and
led to a runbook query that could never match.
Also rename the drifted consensus_trace_strategy value in the plan docs
from "attribute" to "random", the spelling the parser accepts, and note that
it is experimental and not used.
Two conflicts, both additive on each side.
TelemetryConfig.cpp: include blocks only. This branch added FileUtilities.h for
the certificate readability checks; upstream added <limits> and <optional> for
the bounds parser. Both kept.
The TelemetryConfig test: this branch's mutual-TLS cases and upstream's
batch-bounds cases were added at the same positions, so the file is rebuilt from
both stages and carries all 32 tests. Two shared cases were each edited by one
side only, so the edited side wins in each: upstream asserts the batch defaults
in parse_empty_section, and this branch's parse_full_section writes a real
certificate file, which is now required since the parser opens it.
One conflict, in SpanGuard.h: this branch added struct TraceBytes and upstream
added enum SpanRole at the same position after TraceCategory. Unrelated
declarations, so both are kept.
Review feedback on the plan documents. Four kinds of error:
- Symbols that do not exist: ConsensusProposal::prevLedger_ (it is
previousLedger_), RCLConsensusAdaptor (it is RCLConsensus::Adaptor, and
startRound() is on RCLConsensus itself), and RPCHandler::doCommand (a free
function, xrpl::rpc::doCommand).
- Attribute keys: the tables used ledger_index, which no telemetry code emits.
Same concept as ledger_seq but a different referent, so the code disambiguates
by prefix: current_ledger_seq for the open ledger a transaction targeted,
ledger_seq for a closed or validated one. A note now states which is which.
- TraceQL that does not parse: span-field predicates need braces, status.code
is not an intrinsic (status = error), and avg(duration) does not take a by
clause (avg_over_time does). All five re-tested against Tempo.
- The StatsD comparison omitted the Histogram instrument, which aggregates at
the point of measure, and the when-to-use table had no row for a metric that
spans cannot afford to carry.
phase-6 corrected the Consensus Health template-variable table to name
service_instance_id, the label that dashboard actually filters on. This branch
removes that table entirely - the section is restructured around a
Prometheus-label reference and a pointer to the runbook - so the corrected row
has nothing to land in. Resolved by keeping the restructured section; phase-6's
fix remains correct for phase-6, where the table still exists.
The [telemetry] cfg block merged without conflict: the composed 14-key block
from upstream and this branch's metrics_endpoint, metric_export_interval_ms and
metric_export_timeout_ms entries coexist, 17 keys with one entry each.
The commented [telemetry] block in cfg/xrpld-example.cfg documented 8 of the 14
keys the parser accepts. Add the six that were missing - service_instance_id,
use_tls, tls_ca_cert, batch_size, batch_delay_ms and max_queue_size - each with
the unit and default read from the parser, and rename the documented endpoint
key to traces_endpoint so it matches what makeTelemetrySetup reads.
use_tls is documented for what it does rather than what its name suggests: it
gates whether tls_ca_cert reaches the exporter as a CA bundle, while the scheme
of traces_endpoint is what selects TLS. The path is not opened during parsing,
so an unreadable file surfaces as an export failure at runtime.
05-configuration-reference.md named three symbols that do not exist:
setup_Telemetry, make_Telemetry and Section::value_or. Correct them to
makeTelemetrySetup, makeTelemetry and Section::valueOr.
Three conflicts, all composed rather than resolved by taking a side:
- TelemetryConfig.cpp: phase-6 kept networkTypeFromId file-local with
[[nodiscard]]; phase-7 had relocated it to public scope for
Application.cpp. Kept phase-7's relocation, so one definition remains.
The [[nodiscard]] survives on the declaration in Telemetry.h.
- Telemetry.cpp x2: phase-7 added getMeter overrides, phase-6 added
[[nodiscard]] to the startSpan below them. Kept both, and put
[[nodiscard]] on getMeter too.
- TESTING.md: phase-7 had the right metric name (span_calls_total, which
the spanmetrics namespace produces) but the wrong label. Its
xrpl.rpc.command appears nowhere else in the branch; the attribute is
bare `command`, which is what the dashboards query. Took phase-7's
metric with the correct label.
Both signalEndpoint call sites follow the renamed member. signalEndpoint
itself is left in place: removing it and adding metrics_endpoint is a
design change, not part of propagating a rename.
Conflict in OpenTelemetryPlan/05-configuration-reference.md: phase-5 had
corrected the enabled and use_tls types to 0 or 1 and added the
tls_client_cert and tls_client_key rows, while the incoming side renamed
the endpoint option.
Composed both — phase-5's type corrections and its two mTLS rows are
kept, with the endpoint row renamed to traces_endpoint.
Conflict in OpenTelemetryPlan/05-configuration-reference.md: phase-3 had
widened the options table and added the tx_trace_strategy and
consensus_trace_strategy rows, while the incoming side renamed the
endpoint option.
Composed both — phase-3's wider layout and its two extra rows are kept,
with the endpoint row renamed to traces_endpoint.
The [telemetry] option table documents the config key operators copy.
The key is now traces_endpoint, named for the one OTLP signal it
carries, so the old row pointed at a key the parser no longer reads.
Two prose mentions of "endpoint" further down describe the concept
rather than naming the key, and are left alone.
The configuration reference typed the five trace_* switches as bool with
default true. An xrpld config section carries integers, and these keys are
read with an integer cast, so a literal "true" fails to convert rather
than enabling the switch.
Type them as 0 or 1 with default 1, matching the other integer-valued
keys in the same table.
makeTelemetrySetup() rejects a contradictory [telemetry] mutual-TLS
setup by throwing, but it is called from ApplicationImp's
member-initializer list. A try/catch in the constructor body cannot
reach a throw from there, and nothing further up the stack caught it
either, so a config mistake reached std::terminate: the default handler
printed a terminate dump and raised SIGABRT, leaving a core file
instead of a startup error.
Catch std::exception around makeApplication() in run(), report the
reason on stderr and return -1, so the failure is a clean non-zero exit
with a message an operator can act on. Only the construction is
wrapped. setup() starts subsystems whose shutdown order is delicate and
is left outside deliberately, because unwinding a half-started
Application would skip the normal stop sequence.
Gate both validation guards on enabled. A node with telemetry switched
off previously refused to start over certificate paths that nothing
would read.
Document both throws on makeTelemetrySetup(), state in
cfg/xrpld-example.cfg and the configuration reference that a partial
mutual-TLS setup is fatal and that the checks apply only when
enabled=1, and add a runbook troubleshooting entry keyed on the two
error messages.
Tests cover both guards with the message asserted so the two are told
apart, both enabled=0 paths, and the default plaintext configuration.
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().
- Add PathFinding Spans section to the runbook Span Reference and
remove the incorrect "not emitted / later-phase" annotations:
pathfind.request/compute/discover/update_all are emitted since
Phase 2 (upstream of Phase 5).
- Runbook label names use the bare spanmetrics dimensions
(command, rpc_status, local, consensus_mode); fix stale docs.
- 05-configuration-reference: note tls_client_cert/key require use_tls=1.
- TelemetryConfig: reject mTLS cert paths when use_tls=0 so telemetry
is not silently sent in plaintext.

- 05-configuration-reference: service_name now applies to metrics as well
as traces (service.name resource attribute).
- 07-observability-backends: document that collector enrichment includes
deployment-tier tagging (deployment.environment + fallback
xrpl.network.type) for filtering one Grafana stack by tier.

Bring the hardened OTel naming check (Rule E fix + 71 tests) and the phase 1-6
convention work forward into phase 7 (native metrics).
Conflict resolution:
- 05-configuration-reference.md: kept phase-7's native-OTLP metrics story
(server=otel, /v1/metrics) over phase-6's superseded StatsD scrape job, in
prose form (no code block).
- ordering.txt/loops.txt: regenerated via generate.py (not hand-edited).
