The tx.receive span is created after the duplicate check, so it carries no
suppressed attribute and a dropped copy produces no span at all. How many were
dropped is the transactions_duplicate traffic category.
One conflict, in docs/telemetry-runbook.md: both sides had independently
corrected the same consensus_round_id example. This branch kept the pipe form,
which Tempo rejects as a parse error; upstream moved the predicate inside the
braces, which parses and returns data. Upstream's query is kept, with this
branch's note that the value is the previous ledger sequence plus one.
The plan doc offered `"attribute"` as the alternative to `"deterministic"`
for consensus_trace_strategy. The parser accepts `"random"`; "attribute"
described the correlation mechanism rather than the setting's value. Note
also that the alternative is experimental and not used.
One conflict, in 06-implementation-phases.md: this branch had rewritten the
phase-4 task table with a Status column, a descoping note and a Spans Produced
section, while upstream corrected the class name in the old plain table. This
branch's section is kept and the name correction re-applied to its 4.1 row.
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.
The consensus and ledger attribute tables conflicted: this branch had
already rewritten both, adding the open-phase and avalanche attributes and
correcting tx_count/tx_failed to sit on tx.apply alone. Keep this branch's
tables and apply the close-time rename to their rows, rather than taking
either side whole.
The emitted keys are close_time_ripple_epoch_s,
parent_close_time_ripple_epoch_s and close_time_self_ripple_epoch_s.
Update the consensus.accept.apply attribute tables and the close-time
attribute descriptions to match.
Addresses review findings on the native-metrics work.
StatsDCollector::onTimer drained the send buffer inside the polling_ gate. That
gate holds back hook handlers until the application's services are built, but
sendBuffers() is socket I/O. StatsDEventImpl derives only from EventImpl, so it
never enters metrics_ and posts straight to the buffer; its |ms timings piled up
before onCollectionReady and were dropped after onCollectionStopping. The drain
now runs every tick, and outside metricsLock_, so onCollectionStopping no longer
waits on a UDP flush.
TelemetryImpl's constructor left meterProvider_ set when initMetrics() threw.
initMetrics publishes globally as its last step, so a throw left getMeter()
callers holding a provider nothing else could reach. Reset it in the catch.
~ApplicationImp caught only std::exception around telemetry shutdown while the
callees reach third-party SDK code, so a foreign exception would have terminated
the process. Added a logging catch-all.
ValidationTracker's hard trim evicted by unordered_map bucket order. It now
evicts oldest-first, so the entry dropped under pressure is the one least likely
to still reconcile.
The GetMeter test restored the global meter provider only on the success path,
and ASSERT_TRUE early-returns past it. Uses xrpl::ScopeExit instead.
The hook debounce window is a named constant rather than a bare 500 in a
comparison, and the metric export cadence becomes operator-configurable through
metric_export_interval_ms and metric_export_timeout_ms. Both are range-checked:
the SDK warns and silently substitutes its own 60s/30s defaults when the timeout
is not below the interval, so an unchecked value would slow export rather than
speed it up. Parsing uses a signed representation because lexical_cast<uint32_t>
accepts a leading minus and wraps it.
Naming corrections: CollectorManager documented exported_instance, which no OTel
dashboard uses; node-health queried job_count where the exported name is
jobq_job_count; network-traffic and overlay-traffic-detail referenced an
undeclared DS_PROMETHEUS variable; the counter table omitted the _total suffix
the Prometheus exporter appends; the plan docs and task list carried an xrpld_
prefix formatName never applies; and OTelCollector::New()'s contract promised its
instanceId, serviceName and networkType arguments were read, contradicting the
definition that marks them unused.
One [telemetry] key served both OTLP signals, and the metrics URL was
derived from it by suffix-swap: strip a trailing slash, strip a known
signal path if present, append the wanted one. Anything not ending
/v1/traces therefore posted metrics to the traces path, and the OTLP
version was pinned in code where an operator could not reach it.
Adds metrics_endpoint alongside traces_endpoint. Both are full URLs used
verbatim, so traces and metrics can go to different collectors, or to one
whose OTLP paths are not the defaults. signalEndpoint(), kTracesPath and
kMetricsPath are gone; nothing derives an endpoint from another.
The startup log names both URLs, since with two independent endpoints
there was otherwise no way to see where metrics were going.
Also drops exporter=otlp_http from the shipped config and the test
fixture. No branch in the chain reads an `exporter` key: it was a real
Setup member in the first phase-1b implementation, removed when only
OTLP/HTTP was wired up, and already deleted from TESTING.md once on the
same grounds.
formatName() never reads prefix, so setting it here does nothing and the
exported names are bare and lowercase. Leaving it invites queries written
against xrpld_jobq_job_count, which match no series.
The StatsD examples keep it, because that path does apply it to the name.
nudb_bytes was documented as a NuDB file size, one place even claiming a
filesystem stat. It observes Database::getStoreSize(), which sums the object
payloads this process has written. It excludes NuDB's keys, bucket padding and
log, and resets with the process. node_written_bytes calls the same accessor, so
the two series are equal by construction and a write-amplification ratio built
from them is a constant 1.0. Neither Backend nor Database exposes a file-size
accessor, so nothing reports on-disk size today.
The Ledger Data & Sync panel plotting node_reads_hit / node_reads_total was
titled "NuDB Cache Hit Ratio" and described as reads served from cache.
fetchHitCount_ increments whenever a fetch returned an object, whatever served
it, so the ratio is a found rate. It reads near 100% while every fetch goes to
disk, which made the cold-read failure mode look impossible. Renamed to
"NuDB Read Found Ratio" and rewrote the guidance to pair it with read latency.

Move the standalone External Dashboard Parity design spec out of
docs/superpowers/ (which the project guidelines say not to create) and into
an appendix of OpenTelemetryPlan/06-implementation-phases.md, so the phase
plan is self-contained. Repoint the 10 "Source" links in the phase 3/4/7
task lists to the new appendix anchor.

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).

The two "Spans Produced" tables in 06-implementation-phases.md (added by the
Phase 4 consensus work) listed span ATTRIBUTE keys in the dotted
xrpl.consensus.* / ledger.seq / mode.old form. Convert them to the underscore
convention, matching the authoritative ConsensusSpanNames.h constants
(consensus_round, ledger_seq, consensus_mode, consensus_round_id,
consensus_ledger_id, consensus_result, mode_old/new, agree_count/disagree_count,
etc.). Span NAMES in column 1 stay dotted (rule 5). Every key verified to exist
as a constant in ConsensusSpanNames.h / SpanNames.h.

Phase 4 added a span catalog in `06-implementation-phases.md` listing the
source location for each consensus span. Line numbers `Consensus.h:707`,
`RCLConsensus.cpp:232/341/492/541/900` drift on every refactor and would
become stale PR after PR. Filename alone is enough for operators to
grep — the RCLConsensus.cpp spans are already unambiguous from the span
name itself.
Phase-6 introduces ledger-operations, peer-network, and the five StatsD
dashboards. Align them with the rest of the chain:
- Rename dashboard UIDs from `rippled-*` to `xrpld-*` so the provisioned
UIDs match the post-rename-script documentation (`docs.sh` rewrites
.md but not .json, so the two drifted). Runbook references
`xrpld-rpc-perf`, `xrpld-transactions`, etc., now the JSON matches.
- Add the `$node` template variable + `exported_instance=~"$node"` filter
to every target in the five `statsd-*` dashboards. Mirrors the pattern
already used by consensus-health, ledger-operations, and peer-network
per the project rule that every dashboard must support per-node
filtering.
- Strip `:<line>` (and `:NN-NN` range) suffixes from C++ file references
in every dashboard panel description and in docker/telemetry/TESTING.md.
Line numbers drift on every refactor; the filename alone is enough to
grep.
- Replace stale `rpc.request` entries with the real emitted span names
(`rpc.http_request`, `rpc.ws_upgrade`, `rpc.ws_message`, `rpc.process`)
in TESTING.md so operators can copy-paste the filters and hit real
traces.
- Also drop the `:706` line ref from the `StatsDCollector.cpp` callout
in `06-implementation-phases.md`.
Phase-1a plan documents advertised OTLP/gRPC on port 4317 as the default
exporter, four unparsed [telemetry] config keys, and "Phase 4a Complete"
status with exit-criteria checkboxes marked done. Every downstream branch
through Phase 5 ships only OTLP/HTTP on port 4318 via OtlpHttpExporterFactory,
never parses the advertised keys, and the Phase 4 work is not yet delivered.
Fixes:
- 02-design-decisions.md: flip §2.1.1 SDK dependency recommendations to
OTLP/HTTP (shipped) with OTLP/gRPC marked Future. Update §2.2 architecture
diagram and text from OTLP/gRPC:4317 to OTLP/HTTP:4318. Rewrite §2.2.1 as
"OTLP/HTTP (Shipped)" and §2.2.2 as "OTLP/gRPC (Future Work — Planned
Upgrade)" with a concrete checklist (Conan dep, config parsing, factory
branch, runbook/dashboard updates) for landing the gRPC transport later.
- 05-configuration-reference.md: drop the fabricated exporter/otlp_grpc key
and the :4317 default from the sample config block and the options-summary
table. Move trace_pathfind, trace_txq, trace_validator, trace_amendment
into a new "Planned (not yet implemented)" table citing the phase that will
add each one. Keep the example config minimal so copy-paste does not produce
a silently-ignored stanza.
- 06-implementation-phases.md: reset Phase 4 Exit Criteria checkboxes from
[x] to [ ] (Phase 4 is not shipped at Phase-1a time). Rename "Phase 4a
Complete" to "Phase 4a Plan" and describe the work as future. Replace the
broken forward link to Phase4_taskList.md (introduced in the Phase 2 PR)
with a sentence pointing readers to where that spec will land. Renumber
the final section 6.12 to 6.11 so it sits directly after 6.10; section 6.11
("Effort Summary") was intentionally removed in earlier edits.
Fix quorum attribute to use actual validator quorum instead of proposer
count, add missing ConsensusState::Expired handling in haveConsensus()
span, move ConsensusSpanNames.h to xrpld/consensus/ to resolve
levelization cycle, remove unused constants, enrich proposal receive
span with sequence, and correct stale documentation references.

Instrument the consensus subsystem with OpenTelemetry spans covering
the full round lifecycle: round start, establish phase, proposal send,
ledger close, position updates, consensus check, accept, validation
send, and mode changes.
Key design choices adapted from the original Phase 4 implementation
to the new SpanGuard factory pattern introduced in Phase 3:
- Add SpanGuard::hashSpan() for category-gated hash-derived trace IDs
(consensus round spans share trace_id across validators via ledger hash)
- Add SpanGuard::addEvent() overload with key-value attribute pairs
(used for dispute.resolve events during position updates)
- Add ConsensusSpanNames.h with compile-time span name constants
following the colocated *SpanNames.h pattern from Phase 3
- Add consensusTraceStrategy config option ("deterministic"/"attribute")
for cross-node trace correlation strategy selection
- Use SpanGuard::linkedSpan() for follows-from relationships between
consecutive rounds and cross-thread validation spans
- Use SpanGuard::captureContext() for thread-safe context propagation
from consensus thread to jtACCEPT worker thread
Spans produced: consensus.round, consensus.proposal.send,
consensus.ledger_close, consensus.establish, consensus.update_positions,
consensus.check, consensus.accept, consensus.accept.apply,
consensus.validation.send, consensus.mode_change
