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.
tryDirectApply returns an engaged optional whenever the fee bar was cleared,
including when xrpl::apply() failed, so testing the optional labelled failures as
applied. TxQ_test's fail-in-preclaim case hits exactly this: the fee clears the
bar and preclaim then rejects with terINSUF_FEE_B.
The stamp now branches on ApplyResult::applied. A failure reports failed rather
than falling through to the default rejected, because rejected means the
transaction got nowhere, while this one cleared the fee bar and ran through
apply(). ter_code is recorded either way, so the failure is diagnosable. Both
values already existed and are used the same way by the queued-apply path in this
file, so the vocabulary is unchanged.
The value set in the phase-3 task list is updated to match, including a ter_code
row for txq.accept_tx that was already emitted but undocumented.
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 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.
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.
Conflict in OpenTelemetryPlan/05-configuration-reference.md: phase-3 had
widened the options table and added the tx_trace_strategy and
consensus_trace_strategy rows, while the incoming side renamed the
endpoint option.
Composed both — phase-3's wider layout and its two extra rows are kept,
with the endpoint row renamed to traces_endpoint.
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 Phase 4a span table had no consensus.phase.open row at all and listed
only three attributes for consensus.establish. Add the row, the eight
attributes added on this branch, and the two label-valued ones to the
attribute inventory.
Leaves the pre-existing dotted names in the consensus.round row alone; they
predate the underscore convention and are not part of this change.
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 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.
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).
