develop renamed xrpl::Resource to xrpl::resource. MetricsRegistry.cpp
declared `namespace resource = opentelemetry::sdk::resource` at file
scope, but both use sites are inside namespace xrpl::telemetry, where
inner-scope lookup finds the enclosing xrpl::resource first and never
reaches the alias. That namespace has no ResourceAttributes or Resource,
so the build failed on all four platforms:
error: no type named 'ResourceAttributes' in namespace 'xrpl::resource'
error: no member named 'Create' in namespace 'xrpl::resource';
did you mean 'creat'?
Rename the alias to otel_resource. Moving it inside xrpl::telemetry would
also compile, but only by shadowing xrpl::resource -- a reader at the use
site still could not tell which namespace `resource::` meant, and a later
using-directive would reintroduce the ambiguity. A distinct name removes
the collision by construction and matches the metric_sdk / otlp_http
aliases already in this file.
09-data-collection-reference.md: keep phase-9's structure, which relocated
the §2a call-site-metrics content into §5b (3860c93db2). The incoming §2a
block is superseded; its snake_case namespace fix is already applied to
phase-9's copy of the same text.
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.
base_fee_xrp was observed from LoadFeeTrack::getLocalFee(), which is the
local load-scaled fee escalation, not the ledger's base fee. The panel
built on it therefore tracked this node's load state rather than the
network's cost of a reference transaction, and read as a flat line
whenever the node was unloaded.
Read it from the validated ledger's fee settings instead, alongside the
reserve values already taken from there. The observation now only
reports when a validated ledger is available, which is correct: before
that there is no network fee to report.
MetricsRegistry::start() fused three steps with different prerequisites:
the exporter/provider and the synchronous instruments need only config
strings, while the observable gauges read live Application services. The
whole pipeline therefore waited on the latest prerequisite and ran near
the end of setup() -- after beginConsensus() had already recorded the
process's only operating-mode transition. state_changes_total was
emitted into a pipeline that did not exist yet, so the series never
appeared at all.
Split the two halves. start() keeps the provider and the synchronous
instruments and now runs as soon as the registry is constructed; the new
startAsyncGauges() registers the observable callbacks and runs once
overlay_ exists, still before the first consensus round. Application
gains a matching startTelemetryGauges() so each phase has its own call
site and its own precondition.
Move the jq_trans_overflow_total observable out of initSyncInstruments()
into the gauge phase. Its callback reads getOverlay(), which asserts
overlay_ is non-null, so creating it in the early phase armed the reader
thread against a half-built application -- an assert is not caught by
the callback's catch-all. The instrument is an observable counter rather
than a gauge, which is how it was mistaken for a push-only instrument.
Both start log lines are kept, one per phase, because that timeline is
what made the original ordering bug diagnosable.
Comments and preconditions are corrected to state the rule rather than
the current arrangement: start() may only create instruments whose
values are pushed, and any observable whose callback reads a service
belongs in the gauge phase. The gauge precondition now lists the
services the callbacks actually read.
telemetry_->start() ran at the end of ApplicationImp::start(), after
overlay_->start(). Spans are emitted well before that, during setup():
beginConsensus() runs the first consensus round there. SpanGuard drops a
span whenever the global Telemetry instance is not yet live, so that
round's spans were never recorded.
Move the start into setup(), behind a new startTelemetry() seam, right
after the node identity is known. getNodeIdentity() needs only the
cmdline, the config, or the wallet DB, and initRelationalDatabase()
has already created the latter -- the adjacent peerReservations_ load
proves it is usable -- so the identity block moves up with it.
The new position is bounded on both sides: after initRelationalDatabase()
because the identity needs the wallet DB and a DB failure aborts setup(),
and before beginConsensus() because that emits the first spans.
