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.
Two conflicts, both resolved by composing the sides rather than taking one.
cfg/xrpld-example.cfg: this branch had moved the batch-processor keys under
their own heading while upstream edited them in place, so a merge-both would
have documented them twice. Upstream's range sentences are applied to the
relocated block and the head-sampling note keeps its position.
02-design-decisions.md: the summary table changed on both sides for different
reasons. Upstream renamed ledger_index to current_ledger_seq and ledger_seq;
this branch had corrected the PathFinding row to the keys it actually emits.
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 emitted key is close_time_ripple_epoch_s, which names its unit and
epoch. Update the ledger attribute table to match.
ledger_index and ledger_tx_count in the same table belong to a separate
rename and are left as they are.
Both sides documented the same six [telemetry] keys, so the automatic merge
duplicated all of them. Resolved by keeping this branch's structure - which
already covers all 14 keys and groups them under TLS and batch-processor
headings - and folding in the corrections from the upstream side:
- endpoint is renamed to traces_endpoint, which is what the parser reads, and
described as used verbatim including its signal path.
- use_tls no longer claims to enable TLS. The exporter's URL scheme selects
TLS; this key only decides whether tls_ca_cert reaches it as a CA bundle.
- tls_ca_cert records that the path is not opened while the config is parsed,
so an unreadable file shows up as an export failure rather than at startup.
- service_instance_id explains that it is normally left unset and filled in
from the node public key during startup.
Section::value_or in 05-configuration-reference.md becomes Section::valueOr;
that member does not exist under the other spelling.
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.
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.
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 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.
- 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.

The network-type label is derived from [network_id] in TelemetryConfig.cpp;
unmapped/unset IDs fall through to "unknown", not "standalone". Align the
design-doc resource-attribute table with the code and cfg example.

State the rules so they stay consistent across code, collector, Tempo,
dashboards, and docs:
- Per-span-unique field -> bare name (the span name carries the domain).
- Same concept on more than one span -> ONE shared key, reused verbatim and
distinguished by span name, never tagged with the emitting workflow
(e.g. ledger_hash, full_validation, proposal_trusted/validation_trusted).
Defined once in the base SpanNames.h and re-exported by each domain header.
- Collision qualifier <domain>_<field> only to separate DIFFERENT concepts that
share a word, or the OTel-reserved status key (rpc_status, consensus_state).
- Dotted xrpl.<...> is reserved for resource attributes (xrpl.network.*).
Updates CONTRIBUTING.md (permanent home) and OpenTelemetryPlan §2.3.3.
The Phase3/4/5 task lists show attribute keys in the older dotted
`xrpl.<domain>.<field>` form because that mirrors how a fully qualified
attribute reads in a Tempo trace view, which keeps the planning prose readable.
Add a note to each clarifying that the implemented keys follow the underscore
convention in CONTRIBUTING.md and that the *SpanNames.h constants (enforced by
the CI naming check) are the single source of truth — so the dotted form here
is illustrative, not the literal key.

Bring the naming convention, code-sample cleanup, and CI naming check into
phase 2 (RPC tracing). Phase 2 introduces PathFindSpanNames.h.
Conflict resolution:
- 04-code-samples.md, POC_taskList.md: deletion wins.
- 02-design-decisions.md: took the convention-applied tables, but kept phase-2's
accurate PathFinding summary row (pathfind_fast/search_level/num_paths/...,
matching the implemented PathFindSpanNames.h).
- 05/08: took the code-block-free prose; kept phase-2's Phase2-5_taskList.md
index rows (dropping only the deleted POC row). Fixed stale setup_Telemetry/
make_Telemetry doc references to the code-correct setupTelemetry/makeTelemetry.
- Telemetry.h auto-merged to the constant-based @code examples.
check_otel_naming.py change: exempt test files from Rule F (tests pass
arbitrary literal keys to exercise the API). The check passes clean on the
merged tree (24 keys across 4 *SpanNames.h headers, including PathFind).

Bring the phase-1a code-sample cleanup into phase-1b.
Phase 1a deleted the two code-sample docs (04-code-samples.md,
POC_taskList.md) and stripped C++/config code blocks from the remaining
plan docs, replacing them with prose summaries and pointers to the real
source/config files.
Conflict resolution:
- 04-code-samples.md, POC_taskList.md: deletion wins (phase-1b's SpanGuard
rewrites of these files are intentionally dropped).
- 03/05/OpenTelemetryPlan.md: took phase-1a's code-block-free prose, but
kept phase-1b's accurate descriptions of the real telemetry code
(DiscardFlag.h, FilteringSpanProcessor, SpanGuard factory methods, and
the corrected file-count/file-list tables).
- presentation.md left untouched.

Bring the span attribute naming convention (phase 1a) into phase 1b.
Conflict resolution kept phase-1b's SpanGuard-based workflow and applied
the underscore naming convention to all non-code-sample text:
- Converted prose, tables, Mermaid labels, and TraceQL/PromQL query
references across the plan docs to the underscore form.
- Converted the two @code attribute-key examples in Telemetry.h
(command, tx_type).
- Left the code-sample files (04-code-samples.md, POC_taskList.md) and
03-implementation-strategy.md code blocks at the phase-1b version; the
code-sample docs are slated for removal on phase-1a.

Establish the single, authoritative naming convention for OpenTelemetry
span attribute keys so the code, collector, Tempo, dashboards, and docs
stay in sync.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: new "Telemetry span attribute naming" section under
the Style guide as the permanent, canonical home for the rules.
- OpenTelemetryPlan/02-design-decisions.md: new section 2.3.3 stating the
decided convention as design, and section 2.4 attribute schema realigned
to the underscore form (exact key spelling defers to the *SpanNames.h
constants).
- Sweep the remaining plan docs: convert dotted xrpl.<domain>.<field> span
attribute keys to the underscore form; leave span names and the
OTel-standard service.*/http.* and xrpl.network.* resource keys dotted.
