consensus_trace_strategy was read as a std::string and compared against the
literal "attribute" in startRoundTracing(), while the runbook documented
"deterministic" and "random". The documented value "random" therefore fell
through to the default and did nothing.
Parse the setting once into ConsensusTraceStrategy, so the consensus code
branches on a type. The accepted spellings are now "deterministic" and
"random"; anything else fails at startup instead of silently defaulting.
The behaviour behind the old "attribute" name is unchanged and is now
reached by "random".
Document consensus_trace_strategy in xrpld-example.cfg, stating that
"random" is experimental and not used: it gives each node its own trace id,
so one round arrives as one trace per node.
Also state on the tx.included event that it covers the agreed consensus set
before the ledger is built, so it is a superset of the accepted ledger.
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.
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.
childSpan() takes the span name verbatim, so a bare op:: suffix names the span
"process" rather than "rpc.process". The same defect was corrected in the
SpanGuard and Telemetry examples; this is the last copy.
Span kind was derived from TraceCategory alone, so every Rpc-category span was
kServer. A category cannot tell an inbound handler from the internal work under
it, and trace backends pair kServer with kClient, so internal spans left as
kServer become unpaired edges in a service graph and read as extra inbound
requests.
SpanRole is a new xrpl-owned enum, orthogonal to TraceCategory: the category
names the subsystem and gates the span on config, the role says whether the span
handles a remote call. It is a defaulted fourth parameter on span(), freshRoot()
and the ScopedSpanGuard equivalents, defaulting to SpanRole::FromCategory, so no
existing call site changes. resolveSpanKind() applies an explicit role and falls
back to the category map, which keeps its single responsibility. The
telemetry-disabled stubs mirror all four signatures.
No call site passes a role yet. The two that need it are on a later branch.
Also fixes a ScopedSpanGuard example that passed a bare op:: suffix to
childSpan(), which takes the name verbatim. Naming the child rpc.command made it
a child of rpc.command.<cmd>, inverting the hierarchy, so the example's parent is
now rpc.process and the command attribute moved onto the command span.
Review feedback on the RPC integration PR.
The childSpan examples could not work as written. childSpan() takes its parent
from the ambient context and uses impl_ only as a liveness gate, so an unscoped
SpanGuard parent produced two siblings rather than a parent and child. The parent
is now a ScopedSpanGuard, the child no longer reuses the parent's name, and the
examples pass a full dotted constant because childSpan() takes the name verbatim.
Five of the ten Rule D tests could not fail. Four passed an empty L1 key set,
which makes the rule skip validation altogether; the fifth asserted an empty
result against an escaped-quote selector that extracted no labels at all. Each
now passes a nonempty L1 set and carries a known-bad label in the same
expression, so it asserts both that the intended labels are accepted and that
Rule D ran. Verified by disabling the rule: the old tests stay green, the new
ones all fail.
Span kind is not fixed here. categoryToSpanKind and the span factories belong to
the telemetry library, so the role parameter is routed to that branch, and the
two call sites here follow once it exists.
Two conflicts, both composed rather than taking a side.
SpanGuard.h: phase-4 added the followsFrom parameter and its @param block;
phase-3 added the @return line. Kept both.
Telemetry.cpp: phase-4 added getConsensusTraceStrategy() immediately above
getTracer()'s return type, where phase-3 added [[nodiscard]]. Kept both, in
both implementation classes.
[telemetry] endpoint carried one OTLP signal while its name implied it
covered every signal. That asymmetry is what let the metrics URL be
guessed later by rewriting this one's path suffix, so anything not
ending /v1/traces silently posted metrics to the traces path.
Renames the key to traces_endpoint and Setup::exporterEndpoint to
tracesEndpoint. The default value is unchanged and the URL is still used
verbatim, with no path derived from it. The startup log line and the
compose-file example name the new key, the latter being where an
operator copies it from.
No metrics_endpoint is added here: this branch has no metrics pipeline,
so the key would parse into a member nothing reads.
The trace-context checks validate bytes received from a peer, so a
discarded result means untrusted input was accepted unchecked. hashSpan(),
txReceiveSpan() and txProcessSpan() return an RAII guard; discarding one ends
the span on the same line it began.
The telemetry-disabled twins of both hashSpan overloads already carried the
attribute, so the two #ifdef arms now agree. Both hashSpan overloads also
gain the @return line their siblings already had, now that the result cannot
be dropped.
No caller in the chain discards any of these results.
getInstance(), getTracer(), both startSpan() overloads and networkTypeFromId()
return values that a caller must use. A discarded startSpan() result destroys
the returned span immediately, so the span opens and closes with no content.
Six methods in Telemetry.h already carried the attribute, on the base and on
every override. The new attributes follow that: the overrides in Telemetry.cpp
and NullTelemetry.cpp get it too, because [[nodiscard]] is not inherited and a
call bound to the derived type would otherwise be unchecked.
No caller anywhere in the chain discards any of these results.
The default setServiceInstanceId() body ignores its argument. Use the
attribute rather than a (void) cast: the codebase already uses it 104 times
and the build is C++23.
The three close-time span attributes hold NetClock readings, which are whole
seconds since the XRP Ledger epoch of 2000-01-01 rather than the Unix epoch.
Neither the unit nor the epoch was recoverable from the key, so a consumer
rendering one as a wall-clock time without first adding the epoch offset lands
roughly thirty years early. The sibling close_resolution_ms already named its
unit, so the header disagreed with itself.
close_time -> close_time_ripple_epoch_s
parent_close_time -> parent_close_time_ripple_epoch_s
close_time_self -> close_time_self_ripple_epoch_s
Emitted values do not change; only the keys do. The public RPC response fields
of the same name are deliberately untouched, as renaming those would break the
ledger API.
Both broadcast paths passed *msg.mutable_trace_context() to the injector,
which allocates the submessage and sets its has-bit before the injector can
decide there is nothing to write. A compile-time guard covered the
telemetry-off build, but a node with telemetry compiled in and no active
span -- a disabled category, telemetry disabled by config, or a round that
is not being traced -- still broadcast an empty TraceContext to every peer,
and every peer took its has_trace_context() branch to extract nothing.
Add SpanGuard::hasCurrentContext(), a predicate that tests the same two
conditions the injector bails out on without allocating, and an
injectCurrentContext(message) helper that uses it to decide whether to
create the submessage at all. Both consensus call sites now call the helper
unguarded.
Two conflicts, both in the telemetry include blocks.
SpanGuard.h: kept the union. The incoming side moves <memory> inside the
telemetry guard and adds <type_traits>; this branch adds <initializer_list>,
<utility> and the protocol::TraceContext forward declaration. Guarding
<memory> is correct here: the only std::shared_ptr uses are SpanContext's
member and constructor, both inside the guard, and SpanGuardHandle is a
template parameter name rather than a smart-pointer typedef.
NullTelemetry.cpp: took only the incoming guarded Journal.h block. The
incoming hunk also carried <memory> and <utility>, which this branch already
includes below the guarded OpenTelemetry block; taking them as well would
have tripped readability-duplicate-include.
With telemetry compiled out, <string_view> in Telemetry.h and <memory> in
SpanGuard.h are named only by declarations that are themselves guarded, so
clang-tidy's include-cleaner reports them unused and warnings-as-errors fails
the build. NullTelemetry.cpp has the mirror problem: it names beast::Journal
only in the compiled-out makeTelemetry(), reaching the type transitively.
Guard each include to match the configuration that uses it, and correct three
comments that overstated what the empty destructors cost.
The compiled-out ScopedActivation, SpanGuard and ScopedSpanGuard each used a
defaulted destructor. A defaulted destructor on an empty class is trivial, so
compilers report any guard held only for its scope as an unused variable. With
telemetry compiled out that produced seven -Wunused-variable errors under
-Werror, across the ledger acquire, consensus, ledger master and overlay paths.
Write the three destructors by hand so destruction is not trivial, matching the
telemetry-enabled types, and assert that property so it cannot quietly regress
to `= default`. The bodies are empty, so no code is generated either way.
Also move <memory> inside the telemetry guard: only the telemetry-enabled types
hold a unique_ptr, so the include is unused when telemetry is compiled out.
These comments pointed at a planning folder and at its rollout phase
numbering, neither of which is part of the shipped tree, so the
references would dangle for any reader of the repository. Each comment
now states the fact it was pointing at.
Add shared current_ledger_seq / current_ledger_hash span attributes so a
transaction's work can be joined to the ledger trace that produced it, and
fix discrepancy D1 (txq.enqueue was a detached trace root).
- Define current_ledger_seq / current_ledger_hash once in SpanNames.h and
re-export via `using` from TxQ/TxApply/Tx span-name headers. These name the
ledger being worked on (open/tentative apply or in-flight consensus build),
distinct from ledger_seq (the built/validated ledger on ledger.build /
consensus.round). Named after the RPC field ledger_current_index.
- txq.enqueue: set current_ledger_seq/hash from the view, and parent the span
to the caller's tx.process span via an explicit captured SpanContext (new
trailing TxQ::apply param) instead of a detached root. The parent is
explicit, not ambient-inherited, and the ScopedSpanGuard scope is RAII-bound
to the synchronous apply, so it cannot leak onto a reused worker (D1 fix).
On the open-ledger rebuild path no tx.process context exists, so it stays a
root and the attribute provides the correlation.
- tx.preclaim / tx.transactor: set both attributes from their ledger view.
tx.preflight is stateless (no view) and is the documented exception.
- tx.process / tx.receive: set current_ledger_seq from the current open ledger
index at submit/receive time (no hash: not yet applied to a ledger).
- Contract test pins the two new attribute key strings.
Neither key is a spanmetrics dimension, so there is no metric-cardinality
impact. Dashboards/collector/docs land on the later phases per the chain split.

M1: ~PendingTraceId now increments a process-wide atomic counter when a
pinned deterministic trace_id is destroyed unconsumed, so the silent drop
stays observable in release builds where the existing XRPL_ASSERT is a
no-op. Exposed via unconsumedDeterministicIdDrops() for a future metric.
The deterministic trace_id bytes, the GenerateTraceId() consume logic, and
the unconditional reset() are all unchanged.
M2: tighten the Doxygen on SpanGuard::childSpan(std::string_view) to state
it parents to the current ambient context of this store (meaningful only
when a scope/ScopedSpanGuard/ScopedActivation is active) and to point
callers at childSpan(name, ctx) for explicit cross-store parenting.
Doc-only; no behavior change.
