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.
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.

Resolved OpenTelemetryPlan/09-data-collection-reference.md: this branch
replaced the StatsD-shaped Section 2 with OTel-native naming, so the
incoming StatsD tables and the StatsD per-job timer section do not apply
here. Kept this branch's names throughout.
The incoming per-job-type saturation gauge section is new content and is
retained, renumbered to 2.5 and rewritten for the OTel naming: bare
lowercase `jobq_<jobtype>_{waiting,running,deferred}` derived through
OTelCollector rather than the case-preserving `xrpld_`-prefixed StatsD
form.

Add reference entries for the observability surface introduced on
phase-9: the `handler` label on the job instruments, the five
`getobject_*` request metrics, and the per-job-type queue saturation
gauges.
Names here follow this branch's StatsD pipeline, which preserves case
and carries the `xrpld_` prefix, so they differ from the lowercased
OTel-native names used from phase-7 onward. The sections state where
the implementing code lives, since it is introduced downstream.
Also correct pre-existing entries: `job_count` exports as
`jobq_job_count` via the collector group prefix, the non-special job
type count is 35 (not 36), and `JtLedgerData` has five producers.

Document the two new ledger-correlation attributes in the data-collection
reference: add them to the transaction and TxQ attribute tables (with per-span
coverage), update the attribute count, and correct the txq.enqueue parent note
(parents to tx.process on the submission path via explicit context; a root on
the open-ledger rebuild path, correlated via current_ledger_seq).

Brings coroutine-aware context storage + tx/consensus worker-body activation.
Resolved: Telemetry.cpp keeps both meterProvider_ (phase-7) and contextStorage_
(coro-aware); doc-09 keeps phase-7 structure and applies the pathfind.request →
rpc.command.<name> correction to phase-7's own PathFind section.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reflects the C1 fix: rpc.command.* stays unscoped (its dispatch wraps
doRipplePathFind which yields), so pathfind.request nests under rpc.process.
The request -> compute -> discover sub-tree nests correctly via ScopedSpanGuard.

Document that deterministic-trace_id spans (tx.* apply pipeline, tx.process,
tx.receive, consensus.round) are now genuine trace roots with empty
parent_span_id via the custom DeterministicIdGenerator, superseding the old
synthetic-parent behavior that showed 'root span not yet received' in Tempo.
Also update the fresh-root note: peer entry spans use ScopedSpanGuard::freshRoot().
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
These inbound peer-message entry points (kConsumer) used span(), which
inherits whatever span is active on the peer thread — including a leaked
tx.receive scope — so validations/proposals were wrongly nested under
unrelated transaction traces. rootSpan() starts a fresh trace root.

Both spans are moved into job-queue lambdas and destroyed on a worker
thread. Detaching on the origin thread pops the thread-local OTel Scope
there, so later spans on the peer/RPC thread no longer inherit these as a
leaked ambient parent. Trace_id/parent are unchanged (both are hashSpan).
