## Telemetry span attribute naming
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTelemetry span attribute keys follow these rules so they stay consistent
|
||||
across the code, the OTel collector, Tempo, Grafana dashboards, and docs. The
|
||||
constants in the `*SpanNames.h` headers are the single source of truth; every
|
||||
other layer must match them. A CI check enforces this end to end.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Per-span unique attribute: bare field name — allowed when the field is
|
||||
recorded by a single span/workflow, so the span name already supplies the
|
||||
domain (e.g. `command`, `local`, `version` on `rpc.command` / `tx.process`).
|
||||
2. Shared attribute (same concept on more than one span): ONE key, reused
|
||||
verbatim on every span that records it — the span name tells the occurrences
|
||||
apart, so no per-emitter prefix is added. Pick the name by the field's
|
||||
meaning: a property of a domain object keeps that object's bare field name
|
||||
(`ledger_hash`, `ledger_seq`, `tx_hash`, `peer_id`, `full_validation`); a
|
||||
field already qualified by a sub-kind keeps that qualifier on every emitter
|
||||
(`proposal_trusted` on both `consensus.proposal.receive` and
|
||||
`peer.proposal.receive`; `validation_trusted` likewise). Define it once in
|
||||
the base `SpanNames.h` `namespace attr` block and re-export (`using`) it from
|
||||
each domain header, so all emitters share the exact string.
|
||||
3. Collision qualifier: `<domain>_<field>` — only when a bare name would collide
|
||||
with a DIFFERENT concept in the shared spanmetrics label space, or with the
|
||||
OTel-reserved `status` key (e.g. `rpc_status`, `grpc_status`,
|
||||
`consensus_state`, `consensus_round`). This disambiguates distinct concepts
|
||||
that share a word; it is NOT used to tag the same concept with the workflow
|
||||
that emitted it — that is rule 2 (one shared name).
|
||||
4. Resource attribute: dotted `xrpl.<subsystem>.<field>` — reserved ONLY for
|
||||
process/network identity set once at startup (`xrpl.network.id`,
|
||||
`xrpl.network.type`). Never use the dotted `xrpl.` form for span attributes.
|
||||
5. Span names use `<subsystem>[.<component>]` (dotted). Only attribute _keys_
|
||||
follow rules 1–4.
|
||||
|
||||
Standard OpenTelemetry semantic-convention keys keep their canonical dotted
|
||||
form (e.g. `service.*` resource attributes, `http.*` span attributes); the
|
||||
"no dotted form" rule above applies to xrpl-custom keys, not to OTel-standard
|
||||
conventions.
|
||||
|
||||
Always reference the `*SpanNames.h` constants — never pass string literals as
|
||||
attribute keys or values to `setAttribute`/`addEvent`.

## What is Distributed Tracing?
|
||||
|
||||
Distributed tracing is a method for tracking data objects as they flow through distributed systems. In a network like XRP Ledger, a single transaction touches multiple independent nodes—each with no shared memory or logging. Distributed tracing connects these dots.
|
||||
|
||||
**Without tracing:** You see isolated logs on each node with no way to correlate them.
|
||||
|
||||
**With tracing:** You see the complete journey of a transaction or an event across all nodes it touched.

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Trace
|
||||
|
||||
A **trace** represents the entire journey of a request through the system. It has a unique `trace_id` that stays constant across all nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Trace ID: abc123
|
||||
├── Node A: received transaction
|
||||
├── Node B: relayed transaction
|
||||
├── Node C: included in consensus
|
||||
└── Node D: applied to ledger
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Span
|
||||
|
||||
A **span** represents a single unit of work within a trace. Each span has:
|
||||
|
||||
| Attribute | Description | Example |
|
||||
| ---------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
|
||||
| `trace_id` | Identifies the trace | `event123` |
|
||||
| `span_id` | Unique identifier | `span456` |
|
||||
| `parent_span_id` | Parent span (if any) | `p_span123` |
|
||||
| `name` | Operation name | `rpc.submit` |
|
||||
| `start_time` | When work began (local time) | `2024-01-15T10:30:00Z` |
|
||||
| `end_time` | When work completed (local time) | `2024-01-15T10:30:00.050Z` |
|
||||
| `attributes` | Key-value metadata | `tx_hash=ABC...` |
|
||||
| `status` | OK, ERROR MSG | `OK` |
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Trace Context
|
||||
|
||||
**Trace context** is the data that propagates between services to link spans together. It contains:
|
||||
|
||||
- `trace_id` - The trace this span belongs to
|
||||
- `span_id` - The current span (becomes parent for child spans)
|
||||
- `trace_flags` - Sampling decisions

## How Spans Form a Trace
|
||||
|
||||
Spans have parent-child relationships forming a tree structure:

|
||||
style E fill:#bf360c,stroke:#8c2809,color:#ffffff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **tx.submit (blue, root)**: The top-level span representing the entire transaction submission; all other spans are its descendants.
|
||||
- **tx.validate, tx.relay, tx.apply (green)**: Direct children of tx.submit, representing the three main stages -- validation, relay to peers, and application to the ledger.
|
||||
- **ledger.update (red)**: A grandchild span nested under tx.apply, representing the actual ledger state mutation triggered by applying the transaction.
|
||||
- **Arrows (parent to child)**: Each arrow indicates a parent-child span relationship where the parent's completion depends on the child finishing.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Span Relationships
|
||||
|
||||
Spans don't always form simple parent-child trees. Distributed tracing defines several relationship types to capture different causal patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Parent-Child (ChildOf)
|
||||
|
||||
The default relationship. The parent span **depends on** or **contains** the child span. The child runs within the scope of the parent.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
tx.submit (parent)
|
||||
├── tx.validate (child) ← parent waits for this
|
||||
├── tx.relay (child) ← parent waits for this
|
||||
└── tx.apply (child) ← parent waits for this
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use:** Synchronous calls, nested operations, any case where the parent's completion depends on the child.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Follows-From
|
||||
|
||||
A causal relationship where the first span **triggers** the second, but does **not wait** for it. The originator fires and moves on.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Time →
|
||||
|
||||
tx.receive [=======]
|
||||
↓ triggers (follows-from)
|
||||
tx.relay [===========] ← runs independently
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use:** Asynchronous jobs, queued work, fire-and-forget patterns. For example, a node receives a transaction and queues it for relay — the relay span _follows from_ the receive span but the receiver doesn't wait for relaying to complete.
|
||||
|
||||
> **OpenTracing** defined `FollowsFrom` as a first-class reference type alongside `ChildOf`.
|
||||
> **OpenTelemetry** represents this using **Span Links** with descriptive attributes instead (see below).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Span Links (Cross-Trace and Non-Hierarchical)
|
||||
|
||||
Links connect spans that are **causally related but not in a parent-child hierarchy**. Unlike parent-child, links can cross trace boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Trace A Trace B
|
||||
────── ──────
|
||||
batch.schedule batch.execute
|
||||
├─ item.enqueue (span X) ┌──► process.item
|
||||
├─ item.enqueue (span Y) ───┤ (links to X, Y, Z)
|
||||
├─ item.enqueue (span Z) └──►
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use cases:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Pattern | Description |
|
||||
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Batch processing** | A batch span links back to all individual spans that contributed to it |
|
||||
| **Fan-in** | An aggregation span links to the multiple producer spans it merges |
|
||||
| **Fan-out** | Multiple downstream spans link back to the single span that triggered them |
|
||||
| **Async handoff** | A deferred job links back to the request that queued it (follows-from) |
|
||||
| **Cross-trace** | Correlating spans across independent traces (e.g., retries, related events) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Link structure:** Each link carries the target span's context plus optional attributes:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Link {
|
||||
trace_id: <target trace>
|
||||
span_id: <target span>
|
||||
attributes: { "link.description": "triggered by batch scheduler" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

|
||||
## Trace ID Generation
|
||||
|
||||
A `trace_id` is a 128-bit (16-byte) identifier that groups all spans belonging to one logical operation. How it's generated determines how easily you can find and correlate traces later.
|
||||
|
||||
### General Approaches
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Random (W3C Default)
|
||||
|
||||
Generate a random 128-bit ID when a trace starts. Standard approach for most services.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
trace_id = random_128_bits()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Pros | Cons |
|
||||
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Simple, standard | No natural correlation to domain events |
|
||||
| Guaranteed unique per trace | If propagation is lost, trace is broken |
|
||||
| Works with all OTel tooling | "Find trace for TX abc" requires index lookup |
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Deterministic (Derived from Domain Data)
|
||||
|
||||
Compute the trace_id from a hash of a natural identifier. Every node independently derives the **same** trace_id for the same event.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
trace_id = SHA-256(domain_identifier)[0:16] // truncate to 128 bits
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Pros | Cons |
|
||||
| --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Propagation-resilient — same ID computed everywhere | Same event processed twice (retry) shares trace_id |
|
||||
| Natural search — domain ID maps directly to trace | Non-standard (tooling assumes random) |
|
||||
| No coordination needed between nodes | 256→128 bit truncation (collision risk negligible at ~2⁶⁴) |
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Hybrid (Deterministic Prefix + Random Suffix)
|
||||
|
||||
First 8 bytes derived from domain data, last 8 bytes random.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
trace_id = SHA-256(domain_identifier)[0:8] || random_64_bits()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Pros | Cons |
|
||||
| ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Prefix search: "find all traces for TX abc" | Must propagate to maintain full trace_id |
|
||||
| Unique per processing instance | More complex generation logic |
|
||||
| Retries get distinct trace_ids | Partial correlation only (prefix match) |
|
||||
|
||||
### XRPL Workflow Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
XRPL has a unique advantage: its core workflows produce **globally unique 256-bit hashes** that are known on every node. This makes deterministic trace_id generation practical in ways most systems can't achieve.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Natural Identifiers by Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
| Workflow | Natural Identifier | Size | Known at Start? | Same on All Nodes? |
|
||||
| ------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Transaction** | Transaction hash (`tid_`) | 256-bit | Yes — computed before signing | Yes — hash of canonical tx data |
|
||||
| **Consensus round** | Previous ledger hash + ledger seq | 256+32 bit | Yes — known when round opens | Yes — all validators agree |
|
||||
| **Validation** | Ledger hash being validated | 256-bit | Yes — from consensus result | Yes — same closed ledger |
|
||||
| **Ledger catch-up** | Target ledger hash | 256-bit | Yes — we know what to fetch | Yes — identifies ledger globally |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Where These Identifiers Live in Code
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Transaction: STTx::getTransactionID() → uint256 tid_
|
||||
TMTransaction::rawTransaction → recompute hash from bytes
|
||||
|
||||
Consensus: ConsensusProposal::prevLedger_ → uint256 (previous ledger hash)
|
||||
ConsensusProposal::position_ → uint256 (TxSet hash)
|
||||
LedgerHeader::seq → uint32_t (ledger sequence)
|
||||
|
||||
Validation: STValidation::getLedgerHash() → uint256
|
||||
STValidation::getNodeID() → NodeID (160-bit)
|
||||
|
||||
Ledger fetch: InboundLedger constructor → uint256 hash, uint32_t seq
|
||||
TMGetLedger::ledgerHash → bytes (uint256)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Strategy: Workflow-Scoped Deterministic
|
||||
|
||||
Each workflow type derives its trace_id from its natural domain identifier:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Transaction trace: trace_id = SHA-256("tx" || tx_hash)[0:16]
|
||||
Consensus trace: trace_id = SHA-256("cons" || prev_ledger_hash || ledger_seq)[0:16]
|
||||
Ledger catch-up: trace_id = SHA-256("fetch" || target_ledger_hash)[0:16]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The string prefix (`"tx"`, `"cons"`, `"fetch"`) prevents collisions between workflows that might share underlying hashes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why this works for XRPL:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Propagation-resilient** — Even if a P2P message drops trace context, every node independently computes the same trace_id from the same tx_hash or ledger_hash. Spans still correlate.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Zero-cost search** — "Show me the trace for transaction ABC" becomes a direct lookup: compute `SHA-256("tx" || ABC)[0:16]` and query. No secondary index needed.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Cross-workflow linking via Span Links** — A consensus trace links to individual transaction traces. A validation span links to the consensus trace. This connects the full picture without forcing everything into one giant trace.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cross-Workflow Correlation
|
||||
|
||||
Each workflow gets its own trace. Span Links tie them together:

||||

||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Transaction Trace (blue)**: An independent trace whose `trace_id` is deterministically derived from the transaction hash. Contains receive, validate, and relay spans.
|
||||
- **Consensus Trace (green)**: An independent trace whose `trace_id` is derived from the previous ledger hash and sequence number. Covers the open, propose, and accept phases.
|
||||
- **Validation (red)**: Validation spans live within the consensus trace (not a separate trace). They are created after the accept phase completes.
|
||||
- **Catch-Up Trace (purple)**: An independent trace for ledger acquisition, derived from the target ledger hash. Used when a node is behind and fetching missing ledgers.
|
||||
- **Dotted arrows (span links)**: Cross-trace correlations. Consensus links to transaction traces it included; catch-up links to the consensus trace that produced the target ledger.
|
||||
- **Solid arrow (C3 to V1)**: A parent-child relationship -- validation spans are direct children of the consensus accept span within the same trace.
|
||||
|
||||
**How a query flows:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"Why was TX abc slow?"
|
||||
1. Compute trace_id = SHA-256("tx" || abc)[0:16]
|
||||
2. Find transaction trace → see it was included in consensus round N
|
||||
3. Follow span link → consensus trace for round N
|
||||
4. See which phase was slow (propose? accept?)
|
||||
5. If a node was catching up, follow link → catch-up trace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Trade-offs to Consider
|
||||
|
||||
| Concern | Mitigation |
|
||||
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Retries get same trace_id** | Add `attempt` attribute to root span; spans have unique span_ids and timestamps |
|
||||
| **256→128 bit truncation** | Birthday-bound collision at ~2⁶⁴ operations — negligible for XRPL's throughput |
|
||||
| **Non-standard generation** | OTel spec allows any 16-byte non-zero value; tooling works on the hex string |
|
||||
| **Hash computation cost** | SHA-256 is ~0.3μs per call; XRPL already computes these hashes for other purposes |
|
||||
| **Late-binding identifiers** | Ledger hash isn't known until after consensus — validation spans use ledger_seq as fallback, then link to the consensus trace |
|
||||

|
||||
## Distributed Traces Across Nodes
|
||||
|
||||
In distributed systems like xrpld, traces span **multiple independent nodes**. The trace context must be propagated in network messages:
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
sequenceDiagram
|
||||
participant Client
|
||||
participant NodeA as Node A
|
||||
participant NodeB as Node B
|
||||
participant NodeC as Node C
|
||||
|
||||
Client->>NodeA: Submit TX<br/>(no trace context)
|
||||
|
||||
Note over NodeA: Creates new trace<br/>trace_id: abc123<br/>span: tx.receive
|
||||
|
||||
NodeA->>NodeB: Relay TX<br/>(trace_id: abc123, parent: 001)
|
||||
|
||||
Note over NodeB: Creates child span<br/>span: tx.relay<br/>parent_span_id: 001
|
||||
|
||||
NodeA->>NodeC: Relay TX<br/>(trace_id: abc123, parent: 001)
|
||||
|
||||
Note over NodeC: Creates child span<br/>span: tx.relay<br/>parent_span_id: 001
|
||||
|
||||
Note over NodeA,NodeC: All spans share trace_id: abc123<br/>enabling correlation across nodes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Client**: The external entity that submits a transaction. It does not carry trace context -- the trace originates at the first node.
|
||||
- **Node A**: The entry point that creates a new trace (trace_id: abc123) and the root span `tx.receive`. It relays the transaction to peers with trace context attached.
|
||||
- **Node B and Node C**: Peer nodes that receive the relayed transaction along with the propagated trace context. Each creates a child span under Node A's span, preserving the same `trace_id`.
|
||||
- **Arrows with trace context**: The relay messages carry `trace_id` and `parent_span_id`, allowing each downstream node to link its spans back to the originating span on Node A.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Context Propagation
|
||||
|
||||
For traces to work across nodes, **trace context must be propagated** in messages.
|
||||
|
||||
### What's in the Context (~26 bytes)
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Size | Description |
|
||||
| ------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `trace_id` | 16 bytes | Identifies the entire trace (constant across all nodes) |
|
||||
| `span_id` | 8 bytes | The sender's current span (becomes parent on receiver) |
|
||||
| `trace_flags` | 1 byte | Sampling decision (bit 0 = sampled; bits 1-7 reserved) |
|
||||
| `trace_state` | variable | Optional vendor-specific data (typically omitted) |
|
||||
|
||||
### How span_id Changes at Each Hop
|
||||
|
||||
Only **one** `span_id` travels in the context - the sender's current span. Each node:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extracts the received `span_id` and uses it as the `parent_span_id`
|
||||
2. Creates a **new** `span_id` for its own span
|
||||
3. Sends its own `span_id` as the parent when forwarding
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Node A Node B Node C
|
||||
────── ────── ──────
|
||||
|
||||
Span AAA Span BBB Span CCC
|
||||
│ │ │
|
||||
▼ ▼ ▼
|
||||
Context out: Context out: Context out:
|
||||
├─ trace_id: abc123 ├─ trace_id: abc123 ├─ trace_id: abc123
|
||||
├─ span_id: AAA ──────────► ├─ span_id: BBB ──────────► ├─ span_id: CCC ──────►
|
||||
└─ flags: 01 └─ flags: 01 └─ flags: 01
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
parent = AAA parent = BBB
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `trace_id` stays constant, but `span_id` **changes at every hop** to maintain the parent-child chain.
|
||||
|
||||
### Propagation Formats
|
||||
|
||||
There are two patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
### HTTP/RPC Headers (W3C Trace Context)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
traceparent: 00-4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736-00f067aa0ba902b7-01
|
||||
│ │ │ │
|
||||
│ │ │ └── Flags (sampled)
|
||||
│ │ └── Parent span ID (16 hex)
|
||||
│ └── Trace ID (32 hex)
|
||||
└── Version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Protocol Buffers (xrpld P2P messages)
|
||||
|
||||
xrpld P2P messages such as `TMTransaction` carry the trace context in two added byte fields alongside the existing payload: `trace_parent` holds the W3C traceparent (`trace_id`, `span_id`, and `trace_flags`), and `trace_state` holds the optional W3C tracestate. Together they propagate the trace across the P2P boundary so a receiving node can attach its spans to the sender's span.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Sampling
|
||||
|
||||
Not every trace needs to be recorded. **Sampling** reduces overhead:
|
||||
|
||||
### Head Sampling (at trace start)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Request arrives → Random N% chance → Record or skip entire trace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Low overhead
|
||||
- ❌ May miss interesting traces
|
||||
|
||||
> **xrpld note**: xrpld intentionally fixes head sampling at 100% (sample
|
||||
> everything) and does not expose a configurable ratio. A per-node ratio
|
||||
> would let different nodes make divergent keep/drop decisions for the same
|
||||
> distributed trace, producing broken/partial traces. xrpld uses a
|
||||
> `ParentBased` sampler so spans with a remote parent honor the upstream
|
||||
> decision. Volume reduction is delegated to collector-side tail sampling.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tail Sampling (after trace completes)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Trace completes → Collector evaluates:
|
||||
- Error? → KEEP
|
||||
- Slow? → KEEP
|
||||
- Normal? → Sample 10%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Never loses important traces
|
||||
- ❌ Higher memory usage at collector
|
||||

**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Core Services (blue)**: The entry points into xrpld -- RPC Server handles client requests, Overlay manages peer-to-peer networking, Consensus drives agreement, and ValidatorList manages trusted validators.
|
||||
- **JobQueue (center)**: The asynchronous thread pool that decouples Core Services from the Processing and Application layers. All work flows through it.
|
||||
- **Processing Layer (green)**: Core business logic -- NetworkOPs processes transactions, LedgerMaster manages ledger state, NodeStore handles persistence, and InboundLedgers synchronizes missing data.
|
||||
- **Application Services (purple)**: Higher-level features -- PathFinding computes payment routes, TxQ manages fee-based queuing, and LoadManager tracks server load.
|
||||
- **Existing Observability (orange)**: The current monitoring stack (PerfLog, Insight, Journal logging) that OpenTelemetry will complement, not replace.
|
||||
- **Arrows (Services to JobQueue to layers)**: Work originates at Core Services, is enqueued onto the JobQueue, and dispatched to Processing or Application layers for execution.

|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||

|

rect rgb(230, 245, 255)
|

Note over PeerB: tx.receive (linked span)
|

PeerB->>PeerC: 3. Relay TX
|

rect rgb(230, 245, 255)
|

Note over PeerC: tx.receive (linked span)
|

PeerC->>PeerC: tx.process
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
Note over Client,PeerC: DISTRIBUTED TRACE (same trace_id: abc123)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Client**: The external entity that submits a transaction to Peer A. It has no trace context -- the trace starts at the first node.
|
||||
- **Peer A (Receive)**: The entry node that creates the root span `tx.receive`, runs HashRouter deduplication to avoid processing duplicates, and creates a child `tx.validate` span.
|
||||
- **Peer A to Peer B arrow**: The relay message carries trace context (trace_id + parent span_id), enabling Peer B to create a linked span under the same trace.
|
||||
- **Peer B (Relay)**: Receives the transaction and trace context, creates a `tx.receive` span linked to Peer A's trace, then relays onward.
|
||||
- **Peer C (Validate)**: Final hop in this example. Creates a linked `tx.receive` span and runs `tx.process` to fully process the transaction.
|
||||
- **Blue rectangles**: Highlight the span boundaries on each node, showing where instrumentation creates and closes spans.
|
||||
|
||||
### Trace Structure

||||
|
||||

## 1.4 Consensus Round Flow
|
||||
|
||||
Consensus rounds are multi-phase operations that benefit significantly from tracing:
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
flowchart TB
|
||||
subgraph round["consensus.round (root span)"]
|
||||
attrs["Attributes:<br/>ledger_seq = 12345678<br/>consensus_mode = proposing<br/>proposers = 35"]
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
open_desc["Duration: ~3s<br/>Waiting for transactions"]
|
||||
end
|

est_attrs["proposals_received = 28<br/>disputes_resolved = 3"]
|
||||
est_children["├── consensus.proposal.receive (×28)<br/>├── consensus.proposal.send (×1)<br/>└── consensus.dispute.resolve (×3)"]
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
subgraph accept["consensus.phase.accept"]
|
||||
acc_attrs["transactions_applied = 150<br/>ledger_hash = DEF456..."]
|
||||
acc_children["├── ledger.build<br/>└── ledger.validate"]
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
attrs --> open
|
||||
open --> establish
|
||||
establish --> accept
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
style round fill:#f57f17,stroke:#e65100,color:#ffffff
|
||||
style open fill:#1565c0,stroke:#0d47a1,color:#ffffff
|
||||
style establish fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#ffffff
|
||||
style accept fill:#c2185b,stroke:#880e4f,color:#ffffff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **consensus.round (orange, root span)**: The top-level span encompassing the entire consensus round, with attributes like ledger sequence, mode, and proposer count.
|
||||
- **consensus.phase.open (blue)**: The first phase where the node waits (~3s) to collect incoming transactions before proposing.
|
||||
- **consensus.phase.establish (green)**: The negotiation phase where validators exchange proposals, resolve disputes, and converge on a transaction set. Child spans track each proposal received/sent and each dispute resolved.
|
||||
- **consensus.phase.accept (pink)**: The final phase where the agreed transaction set is applied, a new ledger is built, and the ledger is validated. Child spans cover `ledger.build` and `ledger.validate`.
|
||||
- **Arrows (open to establish to accept)**: The sequential flow through the three consensus phases. Each phase must complete before the next begins.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1.5 RPC Request Flow
|
||||
|
||||
> **WS** = WebSocket
|
||||
|
||||
RPC requests support W3C Trace Context headers for distributed tracing across services:
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
flowchart TB
|
||||
subgraph request["rpc.request (root span)"]
|
||||
http["HTTP Request — POST /<br/>traceparent:<br/>00-abc123...-def456...-01"]
|
||||
|
||||
attrs["Attributes:<br/>http.method = POST<br/>net.peer.ip = 192.168.1.100<br/>command = submit"]
|
||||
|
||||
subgraph enqueue["jobqueue.enqueue"]
|
||||
job_attr["job_type = jtCLIENT_RPC"]
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
subgraph command["rpc.command.submit"]
|
||||
cmd_attrs["version = 2<br/>rpc_role = user"]
|
||||
cmd_children["├── tx.deserialize<br/>├── tx.validate_local<br/>└── tx.submit_to_network"]
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
response["Response: 200 OK<br/>Duration: 45ms"]
|
||||
|
||||
http --> attrs
|
||||
attrs --> enqueue
|
||||
enqueue --> command
|
||||
command --> response
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
style request fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#ffffff
|
||||
style enqueue fill:#1565c0,stroke:#0d47a1,color:#ffffff
|
||||
style command fill:#e65100,stroke:#bf360c,color:#ffffff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **rpc.request (green, root span)**: The outermost span representing the full RPC request lifecycle, from HTTP receipt to response. Carries the W3C `traceparent` header for distributed tracing.
|
||||
- **HTTP Request node**: Shows the incoming POST request with its `traceparent` header and extracted attributes (method, peer IP, command name).
|
||||
- **jobqueue.enqueue (blue)**: The span covering the asynchronous handoff from the RPC thread to the JobQueue worker thread. The trace context is preserved across this async boundary.
|
||||
- **rpc.command.submit (orange)**: The span for the actual command execution, with child spans for deserialization, local validation, and network submission.
|
||||
- **Response node**: The final output with HTTP status and total duration, marking the end of the root span.
|
||||
- **Arrows (top to bottom)**: The sequential processing pipeline -- receive request, extract attributes, enqueue job, execute command, return response.
|
||||

### 1.8.4 Operator Actionable Insights
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | What You'll See | Action |
|
||||
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| **Slow RPC** | Span showing which phase is slow (parsing, execution, serialization) | Optimize specific code path |
|
||||
| **Transaction Stuck** | Trace stops at validation; error attribute shows reason | Fix transaction parameters |
|
||||
| **Consensus Delay** | Phase.establish taking too long; proposer attribute shows missing validators | Investigate network connectivity |
|
||||
| **Memory Spike** | Large batch of spans correlating with memory increase | Tune batch_size or sampling |
|
||||
| **Network Partition** | Traces missing cross-node links for specific peer | Check peer connectivity |
|
||||
| **Path Computation Slow** | pathfind.compute span shows high latency; cache miss rate in attributes | Warm the RippleLineCache, check order book depth |
|
||||
| **TxQ Full** | txq.enqueue spans show evictions; fee.escalate spans increasing | Monitor fee levels, alert operators |
|
||||
| **Ledger Sync Stalled** | ledger.acquire spans timing out; peer reliability attributes show issues | Check peer connectivity, add trusted peers |
|
||||
| **UNL Stale** | validator.list.fetch spans failing; last_update attribute aging | Verify validator site URLs, check DNS |
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.8.5 Developer Debugging Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Find Transaction**: Query by `tx_hash` to get full trace
|
||||
2. **Identify Bottleneck**: Look at span durations to find slowest component
|
||||
3. **Check Attributes**: Review `validity`, `rpc_status` for errors
|
||||
4. **Correlate Logs**: Use `trace_id` to find related PerfLog entries
|
||||
5. **Compare Nodes**: Filter by `service.instance.id` to compare behavior across nodes

## 2.1 OpenTelemetry Components
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1.1 SDK Selection
|
||||
|
||||
**Primary Choice**: OpenTelemetry C++ SDK (`opentelemetry-cpp`)
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Purpose | Required |
|
||||
| --------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------- |
|
||||
| `opentelemetry-cpp::api` | Tracing API headers | Yes |
|
||||
| `opentelemetry-cpp::sdk` | SDK implementation | Yes |
|
||||
| `opentelemetry-cpp::ext` | Extensions (exporters) | Yes |
|
||||
| `opentelemetry-cpp::otlp_http_exporter` | OTLP/HTTP export | Yes (shipped in Phase 1b) |
|
||||
| `opentelemetry-cpp::otlp_grpc_exporter` | OTLP/gRPC export | Future (not yet wired up) |
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1.2 Instrumentation Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual Instrumentation** (recommended):
|
||||
|
||||
| Approach | Pros | Cons |
|
||||
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Manual** | Precise control, optimized placement, xrpld-specific attributes | More development effort |
|
||||
| **Auto** | Less code, automatic coverage | Less control, potential overhead, limited customization |

```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **xrpld Nodes (blue)**: The source of telemetry data. Each xrpld node exports spans via OTLP/HTTP on port 4318 (the only exporter shipped in Phase 1b).
|
||||
- **OpenTelemetry Collector (red)**: The central aggregation point that receives spans from all nodes. Can run as a sidecar (per-node) or standalone (shared). Handles batching, filtering, and routing.
|
||||
- **Observability Backends (green)**: The storage and visualization destinations. Tempo is the recommended backend for both development and production, and Elastic APM is an alternative. The Collector routes to one or more backends.
|
||||
- **Arrows (nodes to collector to backends)**: The data pipeline -- spans flow from nodes to the Collector over HTTP, then the Collector fans out to the configured backends.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2.1 OTLP/HTTP (Shipped in Phase 1b)
|
||||
|
||||
OTLP/HTTP is the only exporter wired up in Phase 1b. It is configured via
|
||||
`OtlpHttpExporterOptions` with the collector traces endpoint
|
||||
(`http://localhost:4318/v1/traces` by default) and a JSON content type
|
||||
(binary protobuf is also available).
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2.2 OTLP/gRPC (Future Work — Planned Upgrade)
|
||||
|
||||
OTLP/gRPC is planned as a future upgrade from the HTTP exporter. The gRPC
|
||||
transport offers lower per-span overhead and tighter back-pressure semantics
|
||||
than HTTP/JSON, making it attractive for production deployments once the HTTP
|
||||
path is validated in earlier phases.
|
||||
|
||||
Required to land this upgrade:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add `opentelemetry-cpp::otlp_grpc_exporter` to the Conan recipe (the
|
||||
dependency already exists but is not linked in Phase 1b builds).
|
||||
2. Extend `TelemetryConfig.cpp` to parse an `exporter` key (`otlp_http`
|
||||
default, `otlp_grpc` opt-in) and a gRPC endpoint override.
|
||||
3. In `Telemetry::start()` branch on the parsed exporter type and construct
|
||||
either `OtlpHttpExporterFactory::Create(httpOpts)` or
|
||||
`OtlpGrpcExporterFactory::Create(grpcOpts)` accordingly.
|
||||
4. Update the runbook and dashboards to document the alternate port and TLS
|
||||
settings.
|
||||
|
||||
When wired up, the gRPC path will use `OtlpGrpcExporterOptions` configured with
|
||||
the collector endpoint (host on port 4317), TLS credentials enabled, and a CA
|
||||
certificate path.
|
||||
|
||||
Until that work lands, `OtlpGrpcExporterOptions` is **not** used by any code
|
||||
path in Phase 1b through Phase 5.

### 2.3.3 Attribute Naming Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
Span **names** follow §2.3.1 (dotted `<component>.<operation>`). Span
|
||||
**attribute keys** follow the rules below. The constants in the `*SpanNames.h`
|
||||
headers are the single source of truth; the collector, Tempo, the Grafana
|
||||
dashboards, and the runbook all consume these exact keys, so every layer must
|
||||
agree with the code. A CI check enforces this end to end.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Per-span unique attribute** → bare field name, allowed when the field is
|
||||
recorded by a single span/workflow so the span name already supplies the
|
||||
domain (e.g. `command`, `version`, `local` on `rpc.command`).
|
||||
2. **Shared attribute (same concept on more than one span)** → ONE key, reused
|
||||
verbatim on every span that records it; the span name tells the occurrences
|
||||
apart, so no per-emitter prefix is added. Name it by the field's meaning: a
|
||||
property of a domain object keeps that object's bare field name (`ledger_hash`,
|
||||
`ledger_seq`, `tx_hash`, `peer_id`, `full_validation`); a field already
|
||||
qualified by a sub-kind keeps that qualifier on every emitter (`proposal_trusted`
|
||||
on both `consensus.proposal.receive` and `peer.proposal.receive`;
|
||||
`validation_trusted` likewise). Defined once in the base `SpanNames.h`
|
||||
`namespace attr` block and re-exported (`using`) by each domain header.
|
||||
3. **Collision qualifier** → `<domain>_<field>`, only when a bare name would
|
||||
collide with a DIFFERENT concept in the shared spanmetrics label space or with
|
||||
the OTel-reserved `status` key (e.g. `rpc_status`, `grpc_status`,
|
||||
`consensus_state`, `consensus_round`, `consensus_mode`). This disambiguates
|
||||
distinct concepts that share a word; it is NOT used to tag the same concept
|
||||
with its emitting workflow — that is rule 2 (one shared name).
|
||||
4. **Resource attribute** → dotted `xrpl.<subsystem>.<field>`, reserved ONLY
|
||||
for process/network identity set once at startup (`xrpl.network.id`,
|
||||
`xrpl.network.type`). Span attributes are never dotted in the `xrpl.` form —
|
||||
it blurs the resource/span scope boundary and parses awkwardly in TraceQL.
|
||||
5. **Span names** use `<subsystem>[.<component>]` (dotted, per §2.3.1). Only
|
||||
attribute _keys_ follow rules 1–4.
|
||||
|
||||
Standard OpenTelemetry semantic-convention keys keep their canonical dotted
|
||||
form (e.g. `service.*` resource attributes, `http.*` span attributes); the
|
||||
"no dotted form" rule applies to xrpl-custom keys only.
|
||||
|
||||
The same rules are recorded in `CONTRIBUTING.md` (the permanent home, since
|
||||
`OpenTelemetryPlan/` is removed once the rollout completes). The attribute
|
||||
examples in §2.4 below follow these rules.
|
||||

## 2.4 Attribute Schema
|
||||
|
||||
> **TxQ** = Transaction Queue | **UNL** = Unique Node List | **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.4.1 Resource Attributes (Set Once at Startup)
|
||||
|
||||
Resource attributes identify the process and are set once at startup. They use
|
||||
the standard OpenTelemetry semantic conventions plus custom dotted `xrpl.*`
|
||||
keys (the dotted form is reserved for resource scope per §2.3.3).
|
||||
|
||||
| Key | Type / value | Description |
|
||||
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `service.name` | `"xrpld"` | Standard `SERVICE_NAME` |
|
||||
| `service.version` | `BuildInfo::getVersionString()` | Standard `SERVICE_VERSION` |
|
||||
| `service.instance.id` | node public key (base58) | Standard `SERVICE_INSTANCE_ID` |
|
||||
| `xrpl.network.id` | network id (e.g. 0 for mainnet) | Network identifier |
|
||||
| `xrpl.network.type` | `"mainnet"` \| `"testnet"` \| `"devnet"` \| `"standalone"` | Network kind |
|
||||
| `xrpl.node.type` | `"validator"` \| `"stock"` \| `"reporting"` | Node role |
|
||||
| `xrpl.node.cluster` | cluster name | Cluster name, if clustered |
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.4.2 Span Attributes by Category
|
||||
|
||||
> Span attribute keys use the underscore form from §2.3.3 (shared/qualified
|
||||
> keys are `<domain>_<field>`; per-span unique keys are bare). The dotted form
|
||||
> is reserved for the resource attributes in §2.4.1 above. This catalog lists
|
||||
> the planned attribute set by category; the exact emitted key for each
|
||||
> implemented span is defined by the `*SpanNames.h` constants, which are the
|
||||
> single source of truth where the two differ.

|

### 2.4.4 Privacy & Sensitive Data Policy
|
||||
|
||||
> **PII** = Personally Identifiable Information
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTelemetry instrumentation is designed to collect **operational metadata only**, never sensitive content.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Data NOT Collected
|
||||
|
||||
The following data is explicitly **excluded** from telemetry collection:
|
||||
|
||||
| Excluded Data | Reason |
|
||||
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Private Keys** | Never exposed; not relevant to tracing |
|
||||
| **Account Balances** | Financial data; privacy sensitive |
|
||||
| **Transaction Amounts** | Financial data; privacy sensitive |
|
||||
| **Raw TX Payloads** | May contain sensitive memo/data fields |
|
||||
| **Personal Data** | No PII collected |
|
||||
| **IP Addresses** | Configurable; excluded by default in prod |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Privacy Protection Mechanisms
|
||||
|
||||
| Mechanism | Description |
|
||||
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Account Hashing** | `tx_account` is hashed at collector level before storage |
|
||||
| **Configurable Redaction** | Sensitive fields can be excluded via `[telemetry]` config section |
|
||||
| **Sampling** | Only 10% of traces recorded by default, reducing data exposure |
|
||||
| **Local Control** | Node operators have full control over what gets exported |
|
||||
| **No Raw Payloads** | Transaction content is never recorded, only metadata (hash, type, result) |
|
||||
| **Collector-Level Filtering** | Additional redaction/hashing can be configured at OTel Collector |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Collector-Level Data Protection
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenTelemetry Collector can be configured (via an `attributes` processor)
|
||||
to hash or redact sensitive attributes before export — for example, hashing
|
||||
`tx_account`, deleting `peer_address` to drop IP addresses, and deleting
|
||||
`params` to redact request parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration Options for Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
In `xrpld.cfg`, operators control data collection granularity through the
|
||||
`[telemetry]` section. Besides `enabled`, per-component toggles
|
||||
(`trace_transactions`, `trace_consensus`, `trace_rpc`, `trace_peer` — the last
|
||||
often disabled due to high volume) select which spans are emitted, and
|
||||
redaction flags (`redact_account` to hash account addresses, `redact_peer_address`
|
||||
to remove peer IP addresses) control SDK-level redaction before export.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: The `redact_account` configuration in `xrpld.cfg` controls SDK-level redaction before export, while collector-level filtering (see [Collector-Level Data Protection](#collector-level-data-protection) above) provides an additional defense-in-depth layer. Both can operate independently.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Key Principle**: Telemetry collects **operational metadata** (timing, counts, hashes) — never **sensitive content** (keys, balances, amounts, raw payloads).
|
||||

## 2.5 Context Propagation Design
|
||||
|
||||
> **WS** = WebSocket
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.5.1 Propagation Boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||

|
||||
subgraph http["HTTP/WebSocket (RPC)"]
|
||||
w3c["W3C Trace Context Headers:<br/>traceparent:<br/>00-trace_id-span_id-flags<br/>tracestate: xrpld=..."]

||||

|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
subgraph jobqueue["JobQueue (Internal Async)"]
|
||||
job["Context captured at job creation,<br/>restored at execution<br/><br/>class Job {<br/> otel::context::Context<br/> traceContext_;<br/>};"]

end

|
||||
style jobqueue fill:#bf360c,stroke:#8c2809,color:#ffffff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **HTTP/WebSocket - RPC (blue)**: For client-facing RPC requests, trace context is propagated using the W3C `traceparent` header. This is the standard approach and works with any OTel-compatible client.
|
||||
- **Protocol Buffers - P2P (green)**: For peer-to-peer messages between xrpld nodes, trace context is embedded as a protobuf `TraceContext` message carrying trace_id, span_id, flags, and optional trace_state.
|
||||
- **JobQueue - Internal Async (red)**: For asynchronous work within a single node, the OTel context is captured when a job is created and restored when the job executes on a worker thread. This bridges the async gap so spans remain linked.

||||

## 2.6 Integration with Existing Observability
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **WS** = WebSocket
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.6.1 Existing Frameworks Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
xrpld already has two observability mechanisms. OpenTelemetry complements (not replaces) them:
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | PerfLog | Beast Insight (StatsD) | OpenTelemetry |
|
||||
| --------------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Type** | Logging | Metrics | Distributed Tracing |
|
||||
| **Data** | JSON log entries | Counters, gauges, histograms | Spans with context |
|
||||
| **Scope** | Single node | Single node | **Cross-node** |
|
||||
| **Output** | `perf.log` file | StatsD server | OTLP Collector |
|
||||
| **Question answered** | "What happened on this node?" | "How many? How fast?" | "What was the journey?" |
|
||||
| **Correlation** | By timestamp | By metric name | By `trace_id` |
|
||||
| **Overhead** | Low (file I/O) | Low (UDP packets) | Low-Medium (configurable) |
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.6.2 What Each Framework Does Best
|
||||
|
||||
#### PerfLog
|
||||
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Detailed local event logging for RPC and job execution
|
||||
- **Strengths**:
|
||||
- Rich JSON output with timing data
|
||||
- Already integrated in RPC handlers
|
||||
- File-based, no external dependencies
|
||||
- **Limitations**:
|
||||
- Single-node only (no cross-node correlation)
|
||||
- No parent-child relationships between events
|
||||
- Manual log parsing required
|
||||
|
||||
A PerfLog entry is a JSON object with fields such as `time`, `method`,
|
||||
`duration_us`, and `result`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Beast Insight (StatsD)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Real-time metrics for monitoring dashboards
|
||||
- **Strengths**:
|
||||
- Aggregated metrics (counters, gauges, histograms)
|
||||
- Low overhead (UDP, fire-and-forget)
|
||||
- Good for alerting thresholds
|
||||
- **Limitations**:
|
||||
- No request-level detail
|
||||
- No causal relationships
|
||||
- Single-node perspective
|
||||
|
||||
In xrpld, Beast Insight is used through `increment` (counters), `gauge`
|
||||
(point-in-time values), and `timing` (durations) calls.
|
||||
|
||||
#### OpenTelemetry (NEW)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Distributed request tracing across nodes
|
||||
- **Strengths**:
|
||||
- **Cross-node correlation** via `trace_id`
|
||||
- Parent-child span relationships
|
||||
- Rich attributes per span
|
||||
- Industry standard (CNCF)
|
||||
- **Limitations**:
|
||||
- Requires collector infrastructure
|
||||
- Higher complexity than logging
|
||||
|
||||
A span is created via `startSpan` (e.g. `"tx.relay"`), annotated with
|
||||
attributes such as `tx_hash` and `peer_id`, and is automatically linked to its
|
||||
parent through the active context.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.6.3 When to Use Each
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | PerfLog | StatsD | OpenTelemetry |
|
||||
| --------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------ | ------------- |
|
||||
| "How many TXs per second?" | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
|
||||
| "What's the p99 RPC latency?" | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
|
||||
| "Why was this specific TX slow?" | ⚠️ partial | ❌ | ✅ |
|
||||
| "Which node delayed consensus?" | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
|
||||
| "What happened on node X at time T?" | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
|
||||
| "Show me the TX journey across 5 nodes" | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **xrpld Process (dark gray)**: The single xrpld node running all three observability frameworks side by side. Each framework operates independently with no interference.
|
||||
- **PerfLog to perf.log**: PerfLog writes JSON-formatted event logs to a local file. Grafana can ingest these via Loki or a file-based datasource.
|
||||
- **Beast Insight to StatsD Server**: Insight sends aggregated metrics (counters, gauges) over UDP to a StatsD server. Grafana reads from StatsD-compatible backends like Graphite or Prometheus (via StatsD exporter).
|
||||
- **OpenTelemetry to OTLP Collector**: OTel exports spans over OTLP/gRPC to a Collector, which then forwards to a trace backend (Tempo).
|
||||
- **Grafana (red, unified UI)**: All three data streams converge in Grafana, enabling operators to correlate logs, metrics, and traces in a single dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.6.5 Correlation with PerfLog
|
||||
|
||||
Trace IDs can be correlated with existing PerfLog entries for comprehensive
|
||||
debugging. The design is for `RPCHandler.cpp` to start an `rpc.command.<method>`
|
||||
span alongside the existing PerfLog `rpcStart`/`rpcFinish`/`rpcError` calls,
|
||||
extract the span's `trace_id` (when valid), and eventually stamp it onto the
|
||||
PerfLog entry (a planned `setTraceId` hook) so logs and traces share a key. The
|
||||
span status is set to OK on success or to error (recording the exception) on
|
||||
failure.

## 3.1 Directory Structure

### Key Principles
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Minimal Intrusion**: Instrumentation should not alter existing control flow
|
||||
2. **Zero-Cost When Disabled**: Use compile-time flags and no-op implementations
|
||||
3. **Backward Compatibility**: Protocol Buffer extensions use high field numbers
|
||||
4. **Graceful Degradation**: Tracing failures must not affect node operation

## 3.3 Performance Overhead Summary
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Overhead | Notes |
|
||||
| ------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| CPU | 1-3% | Of per-transaction CPU cost (~200μs baseline) |
|
||||
| Memory | ~10 MB | SDK statics + batch buffer + worker thread stack |
|
||||
| Network | 10-50 KB/s | Compressed OTLP export to collector |
|
||||
| Latency (p99) | <2% | With proper sampling configuration |
|

|

|
||||
|
||||
## 3.4 Detailed CPU Overhead Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.4.1 Per-Operation Costs
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note on hardware assumptions**: The costs below are based on the official OTel C++ SDK CI benchmarks
|
||||
> (969 runs on GitHub Actions 2-core shared runners). On production server hardware (3+ GHz Xeon),
|
||||
> expect costs at the **lower end** of each range (~30-50% improvement over CI hardware).
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | Time (ns) | Frequency | Impact |
|
||||
| --------------------- | --------- | ---------------------- | ---------- |
|
||||
| Span creation | 500-1000 | Every traced operation | Low |
|
||||
| Span end | 100-200 | Every traced operation | Low |
|
||||
| SetAttribute (string) | 80-120 | 3-5 per span | Low |
|
||||
| SetAttribute (int) | 40-60 | 2-3 per span | Negligible |
|
||||
| AddEvent | 100-200 | 0-2 per span | Low |
|
||||
| Context injection | 150-250 | Per outgoing message | Low |
|
||||
| Context extraction | 100-180 | Per incoming message | Low |
|
||||
| GetCurrent context | 10-20 | Thread-local access | Negligible |
|
||||
|
||||
**Source**: Span creation based on OTel C++ SDK `BM_SpanCreation` benchmark (AlwaysOnSampler +
|
||||
SimpleSpanProcessor + InMemoryExporter), median ~1,000 ns on CI hardware. AddEvent includes
|
||||
timestamp read + string copy + vector push + mutex acquisition. Context injection/extraction
|
||||
confirmed by `BM_SpanCreationWithScope` benchmark delta (~160 ns).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.4.2 Transaction Processing Overhead
|
||||
|
||||
<div align="center">
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
%%{init: {'pie': {'textPosition': 0.75}}}%%
|
||||
pie showData
|
||||
"tx.receive (1400ns)" : 1400
|
||||
"tx.validate (1200ns)" : 1200
|
||||
"tx.relay (1200ns)" : 1200
|
||||
"Context inject (200ns)" : 200
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Transaction Tracing Overhead (~4.0μs total)**
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
**Overhead percentage**: 4.0 μs / 200 μs (avg tx processing) = **~2.0%**
|
||||
|
||||
> **Breakdown**: Each span (tx.receive, tx.validate, tx.relay) costs ~1,000 ns for creation plus
|
||||
> ~200-400 ns for 3-5 attribute sets. Context injection is ~200 ns (confirmed by benchmarks).
|
||||
> On production hardware, expect ~2.6 μs total (~1.3% overhead) due to faster span creation (~500-600 ns).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.4.3 Consensus Round Overhead
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | Count | Cost (ns) | Total |
|
||||
| ---------------------- | ----- | --------- | ---------- |
|
||||
| consensus.round span | 1 | ~1200 | ~1.2 μs |
|
||||
| consensus.phase spans | 3 | ~1100 | ~3.3 μs |
|
||||
| proposal.receive spans | ~20 | ~1100 | ~22 μs |
|
||||
| proposal.send spans | ~3 | ~1100 | ~3.3 μs |
|
||||
| Context operations | ~30 | ~200 | ~6 μs |
|
||||
| **TOTAL** | | | **~36 μs** |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Why higher**: Each span costs ~1,000 ns creation + ~100-200 ns for 1-2 attributes, totaling ~1,100-1,200 ns.
|
||||
> Context operations remain ~200 ns (confirmed by benchmarks). On production hardware, expect ~24 μs total.
|
||||
|
||||
**Overhead percentage**: 36 μs / 3s (typical round) = **~0.001%** (negligible)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.4.4 RPC Request Overhead
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | Cost (ns) |
|
||||
| ---------------- | ------------ |
|
||||
| rpc.request span | ~1200 |
|
||||
| rpc.command span | ~1100 |
|
||||
| Context extract | ~250 |
|
||||
| Context inject | ~200 |
|
||||
| **TOTAL** | **~2.75 μs** |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Why higher**: Each span costs ~1,000 ns creation + ~100-200 ns for attributes (command name,
|
||||
> version, role). Context extract/inject costs are confirmed by OTel C++ benchmarks.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fast RPC (1ms): 2.75 μs / 1ms = **~0.275%**
|
||||
- Slow RPC (100ms): 2.75 μs / 100ms = **~0.003%**

## 3.5 Memory Overhead Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.5.1 Static Memory
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Size | Allocated |
|
||||
| ------------------------------------ | ----------- | ---------- |
|
||||
| TracerProvider singleton | ~64 KB | At startup |
|
||||
| BatchSpanProcessor (circular buffer) | ~16 KB | At startup |
|
||||
| BatchSpanProcessor (worker thread) | ~8 MB | At startup |
|
||||
| OTLP exporter (gRPC channel init) | ~256 KB | At startup |
|
||||
| Propagator registry | ~8 KB | At startup |
|
||||
| **Total static** | **~8.3 MB** | |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Why higher than earlier estimate**: The BatchSpanProcessor's circular buffer itself is only ~16 KB
|
||||
> (2049 x 8-byte `AtomicUniquePtr` entries), but it spawns a dedicated worker thread whose default
|
||||
> stack size on Linux is ~8 MB. The OTLP gRPC exporter allocates memory for channel stubs and TLS
|
||||
> initialization. The worker thread stack dominates the static footprint.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.5.2 Dynamic Memory
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Size per unit | Max units | Peak |
|
||||
| -------------------- | -------------- | ---------- | --------------- |
|
||||
| Active span | ~500-800 bytes | 1000 | ~500-800 KB |
|
||||
| Queued span (export) | ~500 bytes | 2048 | ~1 MB |
|
||||
| Attribute storage | ~80 bytes | 5 per span | Included |
|
||||
| Context storage | ~64 bytes | Per thread | ~6.4 KB |
|
||||
| **Total dynamic** | | | **~1.5-1.8 MB** |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Why active spans are larger**: An active `Span` object includes the wrapper (~88 bytes: shared_ptr,
|
||||
> mutex, unique_ptr to Recordable) plus `SpanData` (~250 bytes: SpanContext, timestamps, name, status,
|
||||
> empty containers) plus attribute storage (~200-500 bytes for 3-5 string attributes in a `std::map`).
|
||||
> Source: `sdk/src/trace/span.h` and `sdk/include/opentelemetry/sdk/trace/span_data.h`.
|
||||
> Queued spans release the wrapper, keeping only `SpanData` + attributes (~500 bytes).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.5.3 Memory Growth Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
x-axis "Spans/second" [0, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000]

|
||||
line [8.5, 9.2, 9.6, 9.9, 10.0, 10.0]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Notes**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Memory increases with span rate but **plateaus at queue capacity** (default 2048 spans)
|
||||
- Batch export prevents unbounded growth
|
||||
- At queue limit, oldest spans are dropped (not blocked)
|
||||
- Maximum memory is bounded: ~8.3 MB static (dominated by worker thread stack) + 2048 queued spans x ~500 bytes (~1 MB) + active spans (~0.8 MB) ≈ **~10 MB ceiling**
|
||||
- The worker thread stack (~8 MB) is virtual memory; actual RSS depends on stack usage (typically much less)
|
||||
|
||||

## 3.6 Network Overhead Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.6.1 Export Bandwidth
|
||||
|
||||
> **Bytes per span**: Estimates use ~500 bytes/span (conservative upper bound). OTLP protobuf analysis
|
||||
> shows a typical span with 3-5 string attributes serializes to ~200-300 bytes raw; with gzip
|
||||
> compression (~60-70% of raw) and batching (amortized headers), ~350 bytes/span is more realistic.
|
||||
> The table uses the conservative estimate for capacity planning.
|
||||
|
||||
| Sampling Rate | Spans/sec | Bandwidth | Notes |
|
||||
| ------------- | --------- | --------- | ---------------- |
|
||||
| 100% | ~500 | ~250 KB/s | Development only |
|
||||
| 10% | ~50 | ~25 KB/s | Staging |
|
||||
| 1% | ~5 | ~2.5 KB/s | Production |
|
||||
| Error-only | ~1 | ~0.5 KB/s | Minimal overhead |
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.6.2 Trace Context Propagation
|
||||
|
||||
| Message Type | Context Size | Messages/sec | Overhead |
|
||||
| ---------------------- | ------------ | ------------ | ----------- |
|
||||
| TMTransaction | 25 bytes | ~100 | ~2.5 KB/s |
|
||||
| TMProposeSet | 25 bytes | ~10 | ~250 B/s |
|
||||
| TMValidation | 25 bytes | ~50 | ~1.25 KB/s |

Instrumentation is gated on two levels. A compile-time feature flag (`XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`) reduces the trace macros to no-ops when telemetry is built out, so disabled builds carry zero cost. At runtime, per-component guards (e.g. `shouldTracePeer()`) skip span creation for components whose tracing is turned off, incurring no overhead beyond a single boolean check.

|

### 3.9.4 Architectural Impact Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Impact | Justification |
|
||||
| -------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Data Flow** | Minimal | Read-only instrumentation; no modification to consensus or transaction data flow |
|
||||
| **Threading Model** | Minimal | Context propagation uses thread-local storage (standard OTel pattern) |
|
||||
| **Memory Model** | Low | Bounded queues prevent unbounded growth; RAII ensures cleanup |
|
||||
| **Network Protocol** | Low | Optional fields in protobuf (high field numbers); backward compatible |
|
||||
| **Configuration** | None | New config section; existing configs unaffected |
|
||||
| **Build System** | Low | Optional CMake flag; builds work without OpenTelemetry |
|
||||
| **Dependencies** | Low | OpenTelemetry SDK is optional; null implementation when disabled |
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.9.5 Backward Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
| Compatibility | Status | Notes |
|
||||
| --------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Config File** | ✅ Full | New `[telemetry]` section is optional |
|
||||
| **Protocol** | ✅ Full | Optional protobuf fields with high field numbers |
|
||||
| **Build** | ✅ Full | `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF` produces identical binary |
|
||||
| **Runtime** | ✅ Full | `enabled=0` produces zero overhead |
|
||||
| **API** | ✅ Full | No changes to public RPC or P2P APIs |
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.9.6 Rollback Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
If issues are discovered after deployment:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Immediate**: Set `enabled=0` in config and restart (zero code change)
|
||||
2. **Quick**: Rebuild with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF`
|
||||
3. **Complete**: Revert telemetry commits (clean separation makes this easy)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.9.7 Code Change Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Minimal RPC Instrumentation (Low Intrusiveness):** Instrumenting an RPC handler adds roughly 3-4 lines: one macro to start the span and one or two `setAttribute` calls (command name, status). The span ends automatically via RAII, so the existing control flow — process the request, send the result — is untouched.
|
||||
|
||||
**Consensus Instrumentation (Medium Intrusiveness):** Consensus is slightly more intrusive because child spans in later phase transitions need the round's context. Beyond the span-start and attribute macros, this requires storing the active context in a new member variable (`currentRoundContext_`) at round start. The existing round logic itself remains unchanged.

## 5.1 xrpld Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **TxQ** = Transaction Queue
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.1.1 Configuration File Section
|
||||
|
||||
The authoritative `[telemetry]` example lives in `cfg/xrpld-example.cfg`. Telemetry is disabled by default (`enabled=0`); enabling it turns on distributed tracing for transaction flow, consensus, and RPC calls, with traces exported to an OpenTelemetry Collector over OTLP. Head sampling is intentionally fixed at 1.0 (sample everything) and is not configurable — per-node head-sampling would produce broken/partial distributed traces, so volume reduction is delegated to the collector's tail sampling (see Section 7.4.2). The full option reference follows.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.1.2 Configuration Options Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
||||
| --------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `enabled` | bool | `false` | Enable/disable telemetry |
|
||||
| `endpoint` | string | `http://localhost:4318/v1/traces` | OTLP/HTTP collector endpoint |
|
||||
| `use_tls` | bool | `false` | Enable TLS for exporter connection |
|
||||
| `tls_ca_cert` | string | `""` | Path to CA certificate file |
|
||||
| `batch_size` | uint | `512` | Spans per export batch |
|
||||
| `batch_delay_ms` | uint | `5000` | Max delay before sending batch (ms) |
|
||||
| `max_queue_size` | uint | `2048` | Maximum queued spans |
|
||||
| `trace_transactions` | bool | `true` | Enable transaction tracing |
|
||||
| `trace_consensus` | bool | `true` | Enable consensus tracing |
|
||||
| `trace_rpc` | bool | `true` | Enable RPC tracing |
|
||||
| `trace_peer` | bool | `true` | Enable peer message tracing (high volume) |
|
||||
| `trace_ledger` | bool | `true` | Enable ledger tracing |
|
||||
| `service_name` | string | `"xrpld"` | Service name for traces |
|
||||
| `service_instance_id` | string | `<node_pubkey>` | Instance identifier |
|
||||
|
||||
**Planned (not yet implemented)**: the following options appear in the design
|
||||
documents but are not parsed by `TelemetryConfig.cpp` in Phase 1b and later
|
||||
phases. They will be added as the corresponding subsystems are instrumented:
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Planned Phase | Purpose |
|
||||
| ----------------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `exporter` | Future | Select between OTLP/HTTP and OTLP/gRPC |
|
||||
| `trace_pathfind` | Phase 2 | Path computation tracing toggle |
|
||||
| `trace_txq` | Phase 3 | Transaction queue tracing toggle |
|
||||
| `trace_validator` | Future | Validator list / manifest update tracing |
|
||||
| `trace_amendment` | Future | Amendment voting tracing |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5.2 Configuration Parser
|
||||
|
||||
> **TxQ** = Transaction Queue
|
||||
|
||||
The parser `setup_Telemetry()` in `src/libxrpl/telemetry/TelemetryConfig.cpp` reads the `[telemetry]` `Section` and populates a `Telemetry::Setup` struct, applying the defaults listed in Section 5.1.2 via `section.value_or(...)`. It derives `serviceInstanceId` from the node public key when not overridden, selects the exporter endpoint default by exporter type, and leaves the sampling ratio at its fixed 1.0 default (not read from config — see Section 7.4.2).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5.3 Application Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.3.1 ApplicationImp Changes
|
||||
|
||||
> **Deferred identity**: The node public key (`nodeIdentity_`) is not
|
||||
> available during `ApplicationImp`'s member initializer list — it is
|
||||
> resolved later in `setup()`. The `Telemetry` object is therefore
|
||||
> constructed with an empty `serviceInstanceId` and patched via
|
||||
> `setServiceInstanceId()` once `setup()` has called `getNodeIdentity()`.
|
||||
|
||||
`ApplicationImp` (in `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.cpp`) owns a `std::unique_ptr<telemetry::Telemetry> telemetry_`. It is built in the member initializer list via `make_Telemetry(setup_Telemetry(...))` with an empty `serviceInstanceId`, then patched in `setup()` by calling `setServiceInstanceId()` with the Base58 node public key (unless the user supplied a custom `service_instance_id`). `start()` and `run()` forward to `telemetry_->start()` / `telemetry_->stop()`, and `getTelemetry()` returns the owned instance.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.3.2 ServiceRegistry Interface Addition
|
||||
|
||||
`include/xrpl/core/ServiceRegistry.h` gains a pure-virtual `telemetry::Telemetry& getTelemetry()` (with a forward declaration of `telemetry::Telemetry`), giving every component a uniform accessor for the tracing subsystem.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** `Application` extends `ServiceRegistry`, so `getTelemetry()` is
|
||||
> available on both. Components that hold a `ServiceRegistry&` (e.g.
|
||||
> `NetworkOPsImp`) call `registry_.get().getTelemetry()`. Components that
|
||||
> still hold an `Application&` (e.g. `ServerHandler`, `PeerImp`,
|
||||
> `RCLConsensusAdaptor`) call `app_.getTelemetry()` directly.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 5.4 CMake Integration
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.4.1 Find OpenTelemetry Module
|
||||
|
||||
A `cmake/FindOpenTelemetry.cmake` module locates the OpenTelemetry C++ SDK. It first tries `find_package(opentelemetry-cpp CONFIG)`, aliasing the imported targets `OpenTelemetry::api`, `OpenTelemetry::sdk`, and `OpenTelemetry::otlp_grpc_exporter`, and falls back to `pkg-config` when no CMake config package is present.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.4.2 CMakeLists.txt Changes
|
||||
|
||||
The top-level `CMakeLists.txt` adds an `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` option (default `OFF`). When enabled, it runs `find_package(OpenTelemetry REQUIRED)`, defines the `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` compile flag, and builds the `xrpl_telemetry` library from the real telemetry sources linked against the OpenTelemetry targets; when disabled, it builds the same target from a no-op `NullTelemetry.cpp` so call sites compile unchanged.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5.5 OpenTelemetry Collector Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **APM** = Application Performance Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
The authoritative collector config lives in the repo at `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml` (with Tempo backend config in `docker/telemetry/tempo.yaml`). The sections below summarize the development and production shapes of that pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.5.1 Development Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The development collector enables an OTLP receiver on both gRPC (`0.0.0.0:4317`) and HTTP (`0.0.0.0:4318`), a single `batch` processor (1s timeout, batch size 100), and two exporters: a `logging` exporter for console debugging and `otlp/tempo` (insecure) for trace visualization. The single `traces` pipeline wires receiver → batch → both exporters.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.5.2 Production Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The production collector adds TLS on the OTLP gRPC receiver and a richer processor chain: a `memory_limiter` (OOM guard), `batch` (5s timeout, size 512), `tail_sampling`, and an `attributes` processor that hashes sensitive fields (e.g. `tx_account`) and stamps `deployment.environment`. Tail sampling keeps all `ERROR` traces, slow consensus rounds (>5s) and slow RPC requests (>1s), and probabilistically samples the remainder at 10%. Exporters target Grafana Tempo (TLS) and Elastic APM; `health_check` and `zpages` extensions are enabled for operability.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 5.6 Docker Compose Development Environment
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
The authoritative development stack lives in the repo at `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml`. It brings up four services on a shared `xrpld-telemetry` network: an `otel-collector` (otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib) exposing OTLP gRPC `4317`, OTLP HTTP `4318`, and health check `13133`; `tempo` for trace storage/visualization; `grafana` with provisioned datasources and dashboards (anonymous admin enabled); and an optional `prometheus` for metric correlation.

**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Configuration Sources**: `xrpld.cfg` provides runtime settings (endpoint, sampling) while the CMake flag controls whether telemetry is compiled in at all.
|
||||
- **Initialization**: `setup_Telemetry()` parses config values, then `make_Telemetry()` constructs the provider, processor, and exporter objects.
|
||||
- **Runtime Components**: The `TracerProvider` creates spans, the `BatchProcessor` buffers them, and the `OTLP Exporter` serializes and sends them over the wire.
|
||||
- **OTLP arrow to Collector**: Trace data leaves the xrpld process via OTLP (gRPC or HTTP) and enters the external Collector pipeline.
|
||||
- **Collector Pipeline**: `Receivers` ingest OTLP data, `Processors` apply sampling/filtering/enrichment, and `Exporters` forward traces to storage backends (Tempo, etc.).

## 5.8 Grafana Integration
|
||||
|
||||
> **APM** = Application Performance Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
Step-by-step instructions for integrating xrpld traces with Grafana.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.8.1 Data Source Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tempo (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
A Tempo datasource (`grafana/provisioning/datasources/tempo.yaml`, provisioned from `docker/telemetry/grafana/`) points at `http://tempo:3200` and enables `tracesToLogs` (linking to Loki on `service.name`/`tx_hash` and mapping `trace_id` → `traceID`), `serviceMap` against Prometheus, the node graph, and Loki search.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Elastic APM
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, an Elasticsearch datasource (`grafana/provisioning/datasources/elastic-apm.yaml`) of type `elasticsearch` points at `http://elasticsearch:9200` against the `apm-*` index, using `@timestamp` as the time field and mapping the log message/level fields.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.8.2 Dashboard Provisioning
|
||||
|
||||
A dashboard provider (`grafana/provisioning/dashboards/dashboards.yaml`) loads the `xrpld` dashboard folder from disk (`/var/lib/grafana/dashboards/rippled`), polling for changes every 30s with deletion disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.8.3 Example Dashboard: RPC Performance
|
||||
|
||||
An example `xrpld RPC Performance` dashboard (uid `xrpld-rpc-performance`) sourced from Tempo via TraceQL provides four panels: RPC latency by command (heatmap), RPC error rate by command (timeseries), the top 10 slowest RPC commands by average duration (table), and a recent-traces table.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.8.4 Example Dashboard: Transaction Tracing
|
||||
|
||||
An example `xrpld Transaction Tracing` dashboard (uid `xrpld-tx-tracing`) over Tempo provides three panels: transaction throughput (`tx.receive` rate, stat), cross-node relay count (average `span.relay_count` on `tx.relay`, timeseries), and a table of transaction validation errors (`tx.validate` with `status.code=error`).
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.8.5 TraceQL Query Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Common queries for xrpld traces:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Find all traces for a specific transaction hash
|
||||
{resource.service.name="xrpld" && span.tx_hash="ABC123..."}
|
||||
|
||||
# Find slow RPC commands (>100ms)
|
||||
{resource.service.name="xrpld" && name=~"rpc.command.*"} | duration > 100ms
|
||||
|
||||
# Find consensus rounds taking >5 seconds

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.8.6 Correlation with PerfLog
|
||||
|
||||
To correlate OpenTelemetry traces with existing PerfLog data:
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Configure Loki to ingest PerfLog**
|
||||
|
||||
Configure a Promtail scrape job (`promtail-config.yaml`) that tails `/var/log/rippled/perf*.log`, parses each JSON line, and promotes `trace_id`, `ledger_seq`, and `tx_hash` to Loki labels.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Add trace_id to PerfLog entries**
|
||||
|
||||
Modify PerfLog so its JSON output includes a `trace_id` field whenever a valid span is active: fetch the current span from the OpenTelemetry runtime context, and if its context is valid, render the trace ID as a 32-character lowercase hex string into the log entry.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Configure Grafana trace-to-logs link**
|
||||
|
||||
In the Tempo datasource, set the `tracesToLogs` derived field to link to Loki on the `trace_id` and `tx_hash` tags, with `filterByTraceID: true`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.8.7 Correlation with Insight/StatsD Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
To correlate traces with existing Beast Insight metrics:
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Export Insight metrics to Prometheus**
|
||||
|
||||
Add a Prometheus scrape job (`prometheus.yaml`) named `xrpld-statsd` targeting the StatsD exporter at `statsd-exporter:9102`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Add exemplars to metrics**
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenTelemetry SDK automatically adds exemplars (trace IDs) to metrics when using the Prometheus exporter, linking metric spikes to specific traces.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Configure Grafana metric-to-trace link**
|
||||
|
||||
In the Prometheus datasource, set `exemplarTraceIdDestinations` to map the `trace_id` exemplar to the Tempo datasource.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4: Dashboard panel with exemplars**
|
||||
|
||||
Add a timeseries panel over Prometheus (e.g. `histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(xrpld_rpc_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))`) with `exemplar: true` enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
This allows clicking on metric data points to jump directly to the related trace.

### Implementation Status — Phase 4a Plan
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 4a (establish-phase gap fill & cross-node correlation) will add:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Deterministic trace ID** derived from `previousLedger.id()` so all validators
|
||||
in the same round share the same `trace_id` (switchable via
|
||||
`consensus_trace_strategy` config: `"deterministic"` or `"attribute"`).
|
||||
See [Configuration Reference](./05-configuration-reference.md) for full
|
||||
configuration options.
|
||||
- **Round lifecycle spans**: `consensus.round` with round-to-round span links.
|
||||
- **Establish phase**: `consensus.establish`, `consensus.update_positions` (with
|
||||
`dispute.resolve` events), `consensus.check` (with threshold tracking).
|
||||
- **Mode changes**: `consensus.mode_change` spans.
|
||||
- **Validation**: `consensus.validation.send` with span link to round span
|
||||
(thread-safe cross-thread access via `roundSpanContext_` snapshot).
|
||||
- **Separation of concerns**: telemetry extracted to private helpers
|
||||
(`startRoundTracing`, `createValidationSpan`, `startEstablishTracing`,
|
||||
`updateEstablishTracing`, `endEstablishTracing`).
|
||||
|
||||
The `Phase4_taskList.md` spec document is introduced in the Phase 2 PR (#6424)
|
||||
and will contain the full task breakdown and implementation notes.

|

|

**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **CRAWL (Weeks 1-2)**: Minimal investment -- set up the SDK, instrument RPC and PathFinding/TxQ handlers, and verify on a single node. Delivers immediate latency visibility.
|
||||
- **WALK (Weeks 3-5)**: Expand to transaction lifecycle tracing, fee escalation, cross-node context propagation, and basic Grafana dashboards. This is where distributed tracing starts working.
|
||||
- **RUN (Weeks 6-9)**: Full consensus instrumentation, validator/amendment/SHAMap tracing, end-to-end correlation, and production deployment with sampling and alerting.
|
||||
- **Arrows (crawl → walk → run)**: Each phase builds on the prior one; you cannot skip ahead because later phases depend on infrastructure established earlier.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.9.2 Quick Wins (Immediate Value)
|
||||
|
||||
| Quick Win | Value | When to Deploy |
|
||||
| ------------------------------ | ------ | -------------- |
|
||||
| **RPC Command Tracing** | High | Week 2 |
|
||||
| **RPC Latency Histograms** | High | Week 2 |
|
||||
| **Error Rate Dashboard** | Medium | Week 2 |
|
||||
| **Transaction Submit Tracing** | High | Week 3 |
|
||||
| **Consensus Round Duration** | Medium | Week 6 |
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.9.3 CRAWL Phase (Weeks 1-2)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal**: Get basic tracing working with minimal code changes.
|
||||
|
||||
**What You Get**:
|
||||
|
||||
- RPC request/response traces for all commands
|
||||
- Latency breakdown per RPC command
|
||||
- PathFinding and TxQ tracing (directly impacts RPC latency)
|
||||
- Error visibility with stack traces
|
||||
- Basic Grafana dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
**Code Changes**: ~15 lines in `ServerHandler.cpp`, ~40 lines in new telemetry module
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Start Here**:
|
||||
|
||||
- RPC is the lowest-risk, highest-visibility component
|
||||
- PathFinding and TxQ are RPC-adjacent and directly affect latency
|
||||
- Immediate value for debugging client issues
|
||||
- No cross-node complexity
|
||||
- Single file modification to existing code
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.9.4 WALK Phase (Weeks 3-5)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal**: Add transaction lifecycle tracing across nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
**What You Get**:
|
||||
|
||||
- End-to-end transaction traces from submit to relay
|
||||
- Fee escalation tracing within the transaction pipeline
|
||||
- Cross-node correlation (see transaction path)
|
||||
- HashRouter deduplication visibility
|
||||
- Relay latency metrics
|
||||
|
||||
**Code Changes**: ~120 lines across 4 files, plus protobuf extension
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Do This Second**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Builds on RPC tracing (transactions submitted via RPC)
|
||||
- Fee escalation is integral to the transaction processing pipeline
|
||||
- Moderate complexity (requires context propagation)
|
||||
- High value for debugging transaction issues
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.9.5 RUN Phase (Weeks 6-9)
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal**: Full observability including consensus.
|
||||
|
||||
**What You Get**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Complete consensus round visibility
|
||||
- Phase transition timing
|
||||
- Validator proposal tracking
|
||||
- Validator list and manifest tracing
|
||||
- Amendment voting tracing
|
||||
- SHAMap sync tracing
|
||||
- Full end-to-end traces (client → RPC → TX → consensus → ledger)
|
||||
|
||||
**Code Changes**: ~100 lines across 3 consensus files, plus validator/amendment/SHAMap modules
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Do This Last**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Highest complexity (consensus is critical path)
|
||||
- Validator, amendment, and SHAMap components are lower priority
|
||||
- Requires thorough testing
|
||||
- Lower relative value (consensus issues are rarer)

**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Week 1 (tasks 1-2)**: Foundation work -- integrate the OpenTelemetry SDK via Conan/CMake and build the `Telemetry` interface with `SpanGuard` and config parsing.
|
||||
- **Week 2 (tasks 3-4)**: First observable output -- instrument `ServerHandler` for RPC tracing and stand up Tempo so developers can see traces immediately.
|
||||
- **Weeks 3-5 (tasks 5-10)**: Transaction lifecycle -- add submit tracing, build the first Grafana dashboard, extend protobuf for cross-node context, instrument `PeerImp` relay, then validate with multi-node integration tests and performance benchmarks.
|
||||
- **Weeks 6-8 (tasks 11-12)**: Consensus deep-dive -- instrument consensus rounds and phases, then run full integration testing across all instrumented paths.
|
||||
- **Week 9 (tasks 13-14)**: Go-live -- deploy to production with sampling/alerting configured, and deliver documentation and operator training.
|
||||
- **Arrow chain (t1 → ... → t14)**: Strict sequential dependency; each task's output is a prerequisite for the next.

> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
| Backend | Pros | Cons | Use Case |
|
||||
| ---------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------- |
|
||||
| **Tempo** | Cost-effective, Grafana integration | Requires Grafana stack | Local dev, CI, Prod |
|
||||
| **Zipkin** | Simple, lightweight | Basic features | Quick prototyping |
|
||||
|

## 7.2 Production Backends
|
||||
|
||||
> **APM** = Application Performance Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
| Backend | Pros | Cons | Use Case |
|
||||
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Grafana Tempo** | Cost-effective, Grafana integration | Requires Grafana stack | Most production deployments |
|
||||
| **Elastic APM** | Full observability stack, log correlation | Resource intensive | Existing Elastic users |
|
||||
| **Honeycomb** | Excellent query, high cardinality | SaaS cost | Deep debugging needs |
|

|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Budget Constraints? (Yes)**: Leads to open-source options. If you already run Grafana or Elastic, pick the matching backend; otherwise default to Grafana Tempo.
|
||||
- **Budget Constraints? (No) → Prefer SaaS?**: If you want a managed service, choose between Datadog (enterprise support) and Honeycomb (developer-focused). If not, fall back to open-source.
|
||||
- **Terminal nodes (Tempo / Elastic / Honeycomb / Datadog)**: Each represents a concrete backend choice, all of which feed into the same final step.
|
||||
- **Configure Collector**: Regardless of backend, you always finish by configuring the OTel Collector to export to your chosen destination.

```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Validator / Stock Nodes**: All xrpld nodes emit trace data via OTLP. Validators and stock nodes are grouped separately because they may reside in different network zones.
|
||||
- **Collector Cluster (DC1, DC2)**: Regional collectors receive OTLP from nodes in their datacenter, apply processing (sampling, enrichment), and fan out to multiple backends.
|
||||
- **Storage Backends**: Tempo and Elastic provide queryable trace storage; S3/GCS Archive provides long-term cold storage for compliance or post-incident analysis.
|
||||
- **Grafana Dashboards**: The single visualization layer that queries both Tempo and Elastic, giving operators a unified view of all traces.
|
||||
- **Data flow direction**: Nodes → Collectors → Storage → Grafana. Each arrow represents a network hop; minimizing collector-to-backend hops reduces latency.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: Production deployments should use multiple collector instances behind a load balancer for high availability. The diagram shows a simplified single-collector topology for clarity.

## 7.4 Architecture Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.4.1 Collector Placement
|
||||
|
||||
| Strategy | Description | Pros | Cons |
|
||||
| ------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------- |
|
||||
| **Sidecar** | Collector per node | Isolation, simple config | Resource overhead |
|
||||
| **DaemonSet** | Collector per host | Shared resources | Complexity |
|
||||
| **Gateway** | Central collector(s) | Centralized processing | Single point of failure |
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: Use **Gateway** pattern with regional collectors for xrpld networks:
|
||||
|
||||
- One collector cluster per datacenter/region
|
||||
- Tail-based sampling at collector level
|
||||
- Multiple export destinations for redundancy
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.4.2 Sampling Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
hs[Node-level head sampling<br/>fixed at 100%<br/>not configurable]

||||

||||
ts2 --> final
|
||||
ts3 --> final
|
||||
|
||||
style head fill:#0d47a1,stroke:#082f6a,color:#fff
|
||||
style tail fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#fff
|
||||
style hs fill:#0d47a1,stroke:#082f6a,color:#fff
|
||||
style ts1 fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#fff
|
||||
style ts2 fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#fff
|
||||
style ts3 fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#fff
|
||||
style final fill:#bf360c,stroke:#8c2809,color:#fff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Head Sampling (Node)**: xrpld pins head sampling at 100% (sample everything) and does not expose a configurable ratio. This is intentional: a per-node ratio would let different nodes make divergent keep/drop decisions for the same distributed trace, producing broken/partial traces. xrpld uses a `ParentBased` sampler so spans inheriting a remote parent honor the upstream decision. Volume reduction is delegated to the collector's tail sampling.
|
||||
- **Tail Sampling (Collector)**: The second filter -- the collector inspects completed traces and applies rules: keep all errors, keep anything slower than 5 seconds, and keep 10% of the remainder.
|
||||
- **Arrow head → tail**: All head-sampled traces flow to the collector, where tail sampling further reduces volume while preserving the most valuable data.
|
||||
- **Final Traces**: The output after both sampling stages; this is what gets stored and queried. The two-stage approach balances cost with debuggability.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.4.3 Data Retention
|
||||
|
||||
| Environment | Hot Storage | Warm Storage | Cold Archive |
|
||||
| ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | ------------ |
|
||||
| Development | 24 hours | N/A | N/A |
|
||||
| Staging | 7 days | N/A | N/A |
|
||||
| Production | 7 days | 30 days | many years |
|
||||

## 7.6 Grafana Dashboard Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-built dashboards for xrpld observability.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.6.1 Consensus Health Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
A Tempo-backed dashboard (uid `xrpld-consensus-health`) with four panels, all driven by TraceQL:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Consensus Round Duration** (timeseries, ms): average `consensus.round` span duration per node instance, with yellow/red thresholds at 4s/5s.
|
||||
- **Phase Duration Breakdown** (barchart): average duration of `consensus.phase.*` spans grouped by span name.
|
||||
- **Proposers per Round** (stat): average of the `span.proposers` attribute on `consensus.round` spans.
|
||||
- **Recent Slow Rounds (>5s)** (table): `consensus.round` spans filtered to `duration > 5s`.
|
||||
|
||||
The underlying TraceQL queries are listed in section 7.7.3 and used throughout this doc.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.6.2 Node Overview Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
A Tempo-backed dashboard (uid `xrpld-node-overview`) with four panels:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Active Nodes** (stat): count of distinct `resource.service.instance.id` values seen for the `xrpld` service.
|
||||
- **Total Transactions (1h)** (stat): count of `tx.receive` spans.
|
||||
- **Error Rate** (gauge, percent): ratio of `status.code=error` spans to all spans, with yellow/red thresholds at 1%/5%.
|
||||
- **Service Map** (nodeGraph): Tempo-generated service dependency graph.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.6.3 Alert Rules
|
||||
|
||||
Grafana provisions three TraceQL-based alert rules (group `xrpld-tracing-alerts`, evaluated every 1m) against the Tempo datasource:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Consensus Round Slow** (warning, `for: 5m`): fires when average `consensus.round` duration exceeds 5s.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{resource.service.name="xrpld" && name="consensus.round"} | avg(duration) > 5s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **RPC Error Rate Spike** (critical, `for: 2m`): fires when the error rate across `rpc.command.*` spans exceeds 5%.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{resource.service.name="xrpld" && name=~"rpc.command.*" && status.code=error} | rate() > 0.05
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **Transaction Throughput Drop** (warning, `for: 10m`): fires when the `tx.receive` span rate falls below 10/s.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{resource.service.name="xrpld" && name="tx.receive"} | rate() < 10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: The first two rules use TraceQL aggregates (`avg(duration)`, `rate()`), which require Tempo 2.3+ with TraceQL metrics enabled. Verify aggregate query support in your Tempo version before provisioning.

|

|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **xrpld Node (three sources)**: A single node emits three independent data streams -- OpenTelemetry spans, PerfLog JSON logs, and Beast Insight StatsD metrics.
|
||||
- **Data Collection layer**: Each stream has its own collector -- OTel Collector for spans, Promtail/Fluentd for logs, and a StatsD exporter for metrics. They operate independently.
|
||||
- **Storage layer (Tempo, Loki, Prometheus)**: Each data type lands in a purpose-built store optimized for its query patterns (trace search, log grep, metric aggregation).
|
||||
- **Grafana Correlation Panel**: The key integration point -- Grafana queries all three stores and links them via shared fields (`trace_id`, `tx_hash`, `ledger_seq`), enabling a single-pane debugging experience.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.7.2 Correlation Fields
|
||||
|
||||
| Source | Field | Link To | Purpose |
|
||||
| ----------- | ------------------- | ------------- | -------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Trace** | `trace_id` | Logs | Find log entries for trace |
|
||||
| **Trace** | `tx_hash` | Logs, Metrics | Find TX-related data |
|
||||
| **Trace** | `ledger_seq` | Logs | Find ledger-related logs |
|
||||
| **PerfLog** | `trace_id` (new) | Traces | Jump to trace from log |
|
||||
| **PerfLog** | `ledger_seq` | Traces | Find consensus trace |
|
||||
| **Insight** | `exemplar.trace_id` | Traces | Jump from metric spike |
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.7.3 Example: Debugging a Slow Transaction
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Find the trace**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# In Grafana Explore with Tempo
|
||||
{resource.service.name="xrpld" && span.tx_hash="ABC123..."}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Get the trace_id from the trace view**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Trace ID: 4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Find related PerfLog entries**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# In Grafana Explore with Loki
|
||||
{job="xrpld"} |= "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4: Check Insight metrics for the time window**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# In Grafana with Prometheus
|
||||
rate(xrpld_tx_applied_total[1m])
|
||||
@ timestamp_from_trace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 7.7.4 Unified Dashboard Example
|
||||
|
||||
A single dashboard (uid `xrpld-unified`) that ties traces, metrics, and logs together across the Tempo, Prometheus, and Loki datasources:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Transaction Latency (Traces)** (timeseries, Tempo): `histogram_over_time(duration)` of `tx.receive` spans.
|
||||
- **Transaction Rate (Metrics)** (timeseries, Prometheus): `rate(xrpld_tx_received_total[5m])` per instance, with a data link that opens the matching `tx.receive` traces in Tempo.
|
||||
- **Recent Logs** (logs, Loki): `{job="xrpld"} | json`.
|
||||
- **Trace Search** (table, Tempo): all `xrpld` traces, with per-row data links on `traceID` that jump to the trace in Tempo and to the correlated logs in Loki (`{job="xrpld"} |= "<traceID>"`).
|
||||
|
||||
The cross-datasource data links are what make this a single-pane debugging view; the correlation fields they rely on are listed in section 7.7.2.

```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **rpc.request (blue, top)**: The entry point — every traced transaction starts as an RPC call; this root span is the parent of all downstream work.
|
||||
- **tx.validate and pathfind.request (green/teal, first fork)**: The RPC request fans out into transaction validation and, for cross-currency payments, a PathFinding branch (`pathfind.request` -> `pathfind.compute`).
|
||||
- **tx.relay -> Peer Spans (teal, middle)**: After validation, the transaction is relayed to peers A, B, and C in parallel; each `peer.send` is a sibling child span showing fan-out across the network.
|
||||
- **context propagation (dashed arrow)**: The dotted line from `peer.send Peer A` to `consensus.round` represents the trace context crossing a node boundary — the receiving validator picks up the same `trace_id` and continues the trace.
|
||||
- **consensus.round -> tx.apply -> TxQ Spans (green, lower)**: Once consensus accepts the transaction, it is applied to the ledger; the TxQ spans (`txq.enqueue`, `txq.apply`, `fee.escalate`) capture queue depth and fee escalation behavior.
|
||||
- **Validator Spans (purple, detached)**: `validator.list.fetch` and `validator.manifest` are independent workflows for UNL management — they run on their own traces and are linked to consensus via Span Links, not parent-child relationships.

# [OpenTelemetry](00-tracing-fundamentals.md) Distributed Tracing Implementation Plan for xrpld (xrpld)
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
This document provides a comprehensive implementation plan for integrating OpenTelemetry distributed tracing into the xrpld XRP Ledger node software. The plan addresses the unique challenges of a decentralized peer-to-peer system where trace context must propagate across network boundaries between independent nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
- **End-to-end transaction visibility**: Track transactions from submission through consensus to ledger inclusion
|
||||
- **Consensus round analysis**: Understand timing and behavior of consensus phases across validators
|
||||
- **RPC performance insights**: Identify slow handlers and optimize response times
|
||||
- **Network topology understanding**: Visualize message propagation patterns between peers
|
||||
- **Incident debugging**: Correlate events across distributed nodes during issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Estimated Performance Overhead
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Overhead | Notes |
|
||||
| ------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------- |
|
||||
| CPU | 1-3% | Span creation and attribute setting |
|
||||
| Memory | 2-5 MB | Batch buffer for pending spans |
|
||||
| Network | 10-50 KB/s | Compressed OTLP export to collector |
|
||||
| Latency (p99) | <2% | With proper sampling configuration |

## 0. Tracing Fundamentals
|
||||
|
||||
This document introduces distributed tracing concepts for readers unfamiliar with the domain. It covers what traces and spans are, how parent-child and follows-from relationships model causality, how context propagates across service boundaries, and how sampling controls data volume. It also maps these concepts to xrpld-specific scenarios like transaction relay and consensus.

|
||||
## 1. Architecture Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
> **WS** = WebSocket | **TxQ** = Transaction Queue
|
||||
|
||||
The xrpld node consists of several key components that require instrumentation for comprehensive distributed tracing. The main areas include the RPC server (HTTP/WebSocket), Overlay P2P network, Consensus mechanism (RCLConsensus), JobQueue for async task execution, PathFinding, Transaction Queue (TxQ), fee escalation (LoadManager), ledger acquisition, validator management, and existing observability infrastructure (PerfLog, Insight/StatsD, Journal logging).
|
||||
|
||||
Key trace points span across transaction submission via RPC, peer-to-peer message propagation, consensus round execution, ledger building, path computation, transaction queue behavior, fee escalation, and validator health. The implementation prioritizes high-value, low-risk components first: RPC handlers provide immediate value with minimal risk, while consensus tracing requires careful implementation to avoid timing impacts.

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Design Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **CNCF** = Cloud Native Computing Foundation
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenTelemetry C++ SDK is selected for its CNCF backing, active development, and native performance characteristics. Traces are exported via OTLP/gRPC (primary) or OTLP/HTTP (fallback) to an OpenTelemetry Collector, which provides flexible routing and sampling.
|
||||
|
||||
Span naming follows a hierarchical `<component>.<operation>` convention (e.g., `rpc.submit`, `tx.relay`, `consensus.round`). Context propagation uses W3C Trace Context headers for HTTP and embedded Protocol Buffer fields for P2P messages. The implementation coexists with existing PerfLog and Insight observability systems through correlation IDs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Data Collection & Privacy**: Telemetry collects only operational metadata (timing, counts, hashes) — never sensitive content (private keys, balances, amounts, raw payloads). Privacy protection includes account hashing, configurable redaction, sampling, and collector-level filtering. Node operators retain full control over telemetry configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
➡️ **[Read full Design Decisions](./02-design-decisions.md)**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Implementation Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
The telemetry code is organized under `include/xrpl/telemetry/` for headers and `src/libxrpl/telemetry/` for implementation. Key principles include RAII-based span management via `SpanGuard` (with `discard()` for dropping unwanted spans), a `FilteringSpanProcessor` that intercepts `OnEnd()` to prevent discarded spans from entering the export pipeline, conditional compilation with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`, and minimal runtime overhead through batch processing and efficient sampling.
|
||||
|
||||
Performance optimization strategies include head sampling fixed at 100% (intentionally not configurable, so trace keep/drop decisions stay coherent across nodes), tail-based sampling at the collector for errors and slow traces to reduce volume, batch export to reduce network overhead, and conditional instrumentation that compiles to no-ops when disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
➡️ **[Read full Implementation Strategy](./03-implementation-strategy.md)**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Configuration Reference
|
||||
|
||||
> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **APM** = Application Performance Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration is handled through the `[telemetry]` section in `xrpld.cfg` with options for enabling/disabling, exporter selection, endpoint configuration, sampling ratios, and component-level filtering. CMake integration includes a `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` option for compile-time control.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTelemetry Collector configurations are provided for development and production (with tail-based sampling, Tempo, and Elastic APM). Docker Compose examples enable quick local development environment setup.

## 6. Implementation Phases
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation spans 9 weeks across 5 phases:
|
||||
|
||||
| Phase | Duration | Focus | Key Deliverables |
|
||||
| ----- | --------- | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| 1 | Weeks 1-2 | Core Infrastructure | SDK integration, Telemetry interface, Configuration |
|
||||
| 2 | Weeks 3-4 | RPC Tracing | HTTP context extraction, Handler instrumentation |
|
||||
| 3 | Weeks 5-6 | Transaction Tracing | Protocol Buffer context, Relay propagation |
|
||||
| 4 | Weeks 7-8 | Consensus Tracing | Round spans, Proposal/validation tracing |
|
||||
| 5 | Week 9 | Documentation | Runbook, Dashboards, Training |
|
||||
|
||||
**Total Effort**: 47 person-days (2 developers working in parallel)

## 7. Observability Backends
|
||||
|
||||
> **APM** = Application Performance Monitoring | **GCS** = Google Cloud Storage
|
||||
|
||||
Grafana Tempo is recommended for all environments due to its cost-effectiveness and Grafana integration, while Elastic APM is ideal for organizations with existing Elastic infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
The recommended production architecture uses a gateway collector pattern with regional collectors performing tail-based sampling, routing traces to multiple backends (Tempo for primary storage, Elastic for log correlation, S3/GCS for long-term archive).

# OpenTelemetry Distributed Tracing for xrpld
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Slide 1: Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
> **CNCF** = Cloud Native Computing Foundation
|
||||
|
||||
### What is OpenTelemetry?
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTelemetry is an open-source, CNCF-backed observability framework for distributed tracing, metrics, and logs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why OpenTelemetry for xrpld?
|
||||
|
||||
- **End-to-End Transaction Visibility**: Track transactions from submission → consensus → ledger inclusion
|
||||
- **Cross-Node Correlation**: Follow requests across multiple independent nodes using a unique `trace_id`
|
||||
- **Consensus Round Analysis**: Understand timing and behavior across validators
|
||||
- **Incident Debugging**: Correlate events across distributed nodes during issues
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
flowchart LR
|
||||
A["Node A<br/>tx.receive<br/>trace_id: abc123"] --> B["Node B<br/>tx.relay<br/>trace_id: abc123"] --> C["Node C<br/>tx.validate<br/>trace_id: abc123"] --> D["Node D<br/>ledger.apply<br/>trace_id: abc123"]
|
||||
|
||||
style A fill:#1565c0,stroke:#0d47a1,color:#fff
|
||||
style B fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
|
||||
style C fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
|
||||
style D fill:#e65100,stroke:#bf360c,color:#fff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Node A (blue, leftmost)**: The originating node that first receives the transaction and assigns a new `trace_id: abc123`; this ID becomes the correlation key for the entire distributed trace.
|
||||
- **Node B and Node C (green, middle)**: Relay and validation nodes — each creates its own span but carries the same `trace_id`, so their work is linked to the original submission without any central coordinator.
|
||||
- **Node D (orange, rightmost)**: The final node that applies the transaction to the ledger; the trace now spans the full lifecycle from submission to ledger inclusion.
|
||||
- **Left-to-right flow**: The horizontal progression shows the real-world message path — a transaction hops from node to node, and the shared `trace_id` stitches all hops into a single queryable trace.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Trace ID: abc123** — All nodes share the same trace, enabling cross-node correlation.
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Slide 2: OpenTelemetry vs Open Source Alternatives
|
||||
|
||||
> **CNCF** = Cloud Native Computing Foundation
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | OpenTelemetry | Jaeger | Zipkin | SkyWalking | Pinpoint | Prometheus |
|
||||
| ------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- | ------------------ | ---------- | ---------- | ---------- |
|
||||
| **Tracing** | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | NO |
|
||||
| **Metrics** | YES | NO | NO | YES | YES | YES |
|
||||
| **Logs** | YES | NO | NO | YES | NO | NO |
|
||||
| **C++ SDK** | YES Official | YES (Deprecated) | YES (Unmaintained) | NO | NO | YES |
|
||||
| **Vendor Neutral** | YES Primary goal | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO |
|
||||
| **Instrumentation** | Manual + Auto | Manual | Manual | Auto-first | Auto-first | Manual |
|
||||
| **Backend** | Any (exporters) | Self | Self | Self | Self | Self |
|
||||
| **CNCF Status** | Incubating | Graduated | NO | Incubating | NO | Graduated |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Why OpenTelemetry?** It's the only actively maintained, full-featured C++ option with vendor neutrality — allowing export to Tempo, Prometheus, Grafana, or any commercial backend without changing instrumentation.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Slide 3: Adoption Scope — Traces Only (Current Plan)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTelemetry supports three signal types: **Traces**, **Metrics**, and **Logs**. xrpld already captures metrics (StatsD via Beast Insight) and logs (Journal/PerfLog). The question is: how much of OTel do we adopt?
|
||||
|
||||
> **Scenario A**: Add distributed tracing. Keep StatsD for metrics and Journal for logs.
|
||||

||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Details |
|
||||
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **What changes for operators** | Deploy OTel Collector + trace backend. Existing StatsD and log pipelines stay as-is. |
|
||||
| **Codebase impact** | New `Telemetry` module (~1500 LOC). Beast Insight and Journal untouched. |
|
||||
| **New capabilities** | Cross-node trace correlation, span-based debugging, request lifecycle visibility. |
|
||||
| **What we still can't do** | Correlate metrics with specific traces natively. StatsD metrics remain fire-and-forget with no trace exemplars. |
|
||||
| **Maintenance burden** | Three separate observability systems to maintain (OTel + StatsD + Journal). |
|
||||
| **Risk** | Lowest — additive change, no existing systems disturbed. |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Slide 4: Future Adoption — Metrics & Logs via OTel
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario B: + OTel Metrics (Replace StatsD)
|
||||
|
||||
> Migrate StatsD to OTel Metrics API, exposing Prometheus-compatible metrics. Remove Beast Insight.
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid

|
||||
style Collector fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **Better metrics?** Yes — Prometheus gives native histograms (p50/p95/p99), multi-dimensional labels, and exemplars linking metric spikes to traces.
|
||||
- **Codebase**: Remove `Beast::Insight` + `StatsDCollector` (~2000 LOC). Single SDK for traces and metrics.
|
||||
- **Operator effort**: Rewrite dashboards from StatsD/Graphite queries to PromQL. Run both in parallel during transition.
|
||||
- **Risk**: Medium — operators must migrate monitoring infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario C: + OTel Logs (Full Stack)
|
||||
|
||||
> Also replace Journal logging with OTel Logs API. Single SDK for everything.
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid

|
||||
style Collector fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **Structured logging**: OTel Logs API outputs structured records with `trace_id`, `span_id`, severity, and attributes by design.
|
||||
- **Full correlation**: Every log line carries `trace_id`. Click trace → see logs. Click metric spike → see trace → see logs.
|
||||
- **Codebase**: Remove Beast Insight (~2000 LOC) + simplify Journal/PerfLog (~3000 LOC). One dependency instead of three.
|
||||
- **Risk**: Highest — `beast::Journal` is deeply embedded in every component. Large refactor. OTel C++ Logs API is newer (stable since v1.11, less battle-tested).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
| Phase | Signal | Strategy | Risk |
|
||||
| -------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ |
|
||||
| **Phase 1** (now) | Traces | Add OTel traces. Keep StatsD and Journal. Prove value. | Low |
|
||||
| **Phase 2** (future) | + Metrics | Migrate StatsD → Prometheus via OTel. Remove Beast Insight. | Medium |
|
||||
| **Phase 3** (future) | + Logs | Adopt OTel Logs API. Align with structured logging initiative. | High |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Key Takeaway**: Start with traces (unique value, lowest risk), then incrementally adopt metrics and logs as the OTel infrastructure proves itself.

|

|

**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Core Services (blue, top)**: RPC Server, Overlay, and Consensus are the three primary components that generate trace data — they represent the entry points for client requests, peer messages, and consensus rounds respectively.
|
||||
- **Telemetry Module (green, middle)**: The OpenTelemetry SDK sits below the core services and receives span data from all three; it acts as a single collection point within the xrpld process.
|
||||
- **OTel Collector (orange, center)**: An external process that receives spans over OTLP/gRPC from the Telemetry Module; it decouples xrpld from backend choices and handles batching, sampling, and routing.
|
||||
- **Backends (bottom row)**: Tempo and Elastic APM are interchangeable — the Collector fans out to any combination, so operators can switch backends without modifying xrpld code.
|
||||
- **Top-to-bottom flow**: Data flows from instrumented code down through the SDK, out over the network to the Collector, and finally into storage/visualization backends.

> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
### Estimated System Impact
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Overhead | Notes |
|
||||
| ----------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| **CPU** | 1-3% | Span creation and attribute setting |
|
||||
| **Memory** | ~10 MB | SDK statics + batch buffer + worker thread stack |
|
||||
| **Network** | 10-50 KB/s | Compressed OTLP export to collector |
|
||||
| **Latency (p99)** | <2% | With proper sampling configuration |
|
||||
|
||||
#### How We Arrived at These Numbers
|
||||
|
||||
**Assumptions (XRPL mainnet baseline)**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Parameter | Value | Source |
|
||||
| ------------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Transaction throughput | ~25 TPS (peaks to ~50) | Mainnet average |
|
||||
| Default peers per node | 21 | `peerfinder/detail/Tuning.h` (`defaultMaxPeers`) |
|
||||
| Consensus round frequency | ~1 round / 3-4 seconds | `ConsensusParms.h` (`ledgerMIN_CONSENSUS=1950ms`) |
|
||||
| Proposers per round | ~20-35 | Mainnet UNL size |
|
||||
| P2P message rate | ~160 msgs/sec | See message breakdown below |
|
||||
| Avg TX processing time | ~200 μs | Profiled baseline |
|
||||
| Single span creation cost | 500-1000 ns | OTel C++ SDK benchmarks (see [3.5.4](./03-implementation-strategy.md#354-performance-data-sources)) |
|
||||
|
||||
**P2P message breakdown** (per node, mainnet):
|
||||
|
||||
| Message Type | Rate | Derivation |
|
||||
| ------------- | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| TMTransaction | ~100/sec | ~25 TPS × ~4 relay hops per TX, deduplicated by HashRouter |
|
||||
| TMValidation | ~50/sec | ~35 validators × ~1 validation/3s round ≈ ~12/sec, plus relay fan-out |
|
||||
| TMProposeSet | ~10/sec | ~35 proposers / 3s round ≈ ~12/round, clustered in establish phase |
|
||||
| **Total** | **~160/sec** | **Only traced message types counted** |
|
||||
|
||||
**CPU (1-3%) — Calculation**:
|
||||
|
||||
Per-transaction tracing cost breakdown:
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | Cost | Notes |
|
||||
| ----------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `tx.receive` span (create + end + 4 attributes) | ~1400 ns | ~1000ns create + ~200ns end + 4×50ns attrs |
|
||||
| `tx.validate` span | ~1200 ns | ~1000ns create + ~200ns for 2 attributes |
|
||||
| `tx.relay` span | ~1200 ns | ~1000ns create + ~200ns for 2 attributes |
|
||||
| Context injection into P2P message | ~200 ns | Serialize trace_id + span_id into protobuf |
|
||||
| **Total per TX** | **~4.0 μs** | |
|
||||
|
||||
> **CPU overhead**: 4.0 μs / 200 μs baseline = **~2.0% per transaction**. Under high load with consensus + RPC spans overlapping, reaches ~3%. Consensus itself adds only ~36 μs per 3-second round (~0.001%), so the TX path dominates. On production server hardware (3+ GHz Xeon), span creation drops to ~500-600 ns, bringing per-TX cost to ~2.6 μs (~1.3%). See [Section 3.5.4](./03-implementation-strategy.md#354-performance-data-sources) for benchmark sources.
|
||||
|
||||
**Memory (~10 MB) — Calculation**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Size | Notes |
|
||||
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| TracerProvider + Exporter (gRPC channel init) | ~320 KB | Allocated once at startup |
|
||||
| BatchSpanProcessor (circular buffer) | ~16 KB | 2049 × 8-byte AtomicUniquePtr entries |
|
||||
| BatchSpanProcessor (worker thread stack) | ~8 MB | Default Linux thread stack size |
|
||||
| Active spans (in-flight, max ~1000) | ~500-800 KB | ~500-800 bytes/span × 1000 concurrent |
|
||||
| Export queue (batch buffer, max 2048 spans) | ~1 MB | ~500 bytes/span × 2048 queue depth |
|
||||
| Thread-local context storage (~100 threads) | ~6.4 KB | ~64 bytes/thread |
|
||||
| **Total** | **~10 MB ceiling** | |
|
||||
|
||||
> Memory plateaus once the export queue fills — the `max_queue_size=2048` config bounds growth.
|
||||
> The worker thread stack (~8 MB) dominates the static footprint but is virtual memory; actual RSS
|
||||
> depends on stack usage (typically much less). Active spans are larger than originally estimated
|
||||
> (~500-800 bytes) because the OTel SDK `Span` object includes a mutex (~40 bytes), `SpanData`
|
||||
> recordable (~250 bytes base), and `std::map`-based attribute storage (~200-500 bytes for 3-5
|
||||
> string attributes). See [Section 3.5.4](./03-implementation-strategy.md#354-performance-data-sources) for source references.
|
||||
|
||||
**Network (10-50 KB/s) — Calculation**:
|
||||
|
||||
Two sources of network overhead:
|
||||
|
||||
**(A) OTLP span export to Collector:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Sampling Rate | Effective Spans/sec | Avg Span Size (compressed) | Bandwidth |
|
||||
| -------------------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------ |
|
||||
| 100% (dev only) | ~500 | ~500 bytes | ~250 KB/s |
|
||||
| **10% (recommended prod)** | **~50** | **~500 bytes** | **~25 KB/s** |
|
||||
| 1% (minimal) | ~5 | ~500 bytes | ~2.5 KB/s |
|
||||
|
||||
> The ~500 spans/sec at 100% comes from: ~100 TX spans + ~160 P2P context spans + ~23 consensus spans/round + ~50 RPC spans = ~500/sec. OTLP protobuf with gzip compression yields ~500 bytes/span average.
|
||||
|
||||
**(B) P2P trace context overhead** (added to existing messages, always-on regardless of sampling):
|
||||
|
||||
| Message Type | Rate | Context Size | Bandwidth |
|
||||
| ------------- | -------- | ------------ | ------------- |
|
||||
| TMTransaction | ~100/sec | 29 bytes | ~2.9 KB/s |
|
||||
| TMValidation | ~50/sec | 29 bytes | ~1.5 KB/s |
|
||||
| TMProposeSet | ~10/sec | 29 bytes | ~0.3 KB/s |
|
||||
| **Total P2P** | | | **~4.7 KB/s** |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Combined**: 25 KB/s (OTLP export at 10%) + 5 KB/s (P2P context) ≈ **~30 KB/s typical**. The 10-50 KB/s range covers 10-20% sampling under normal to peak mainnet load.
|
||||
|
||||
**Latency (<2%) — Calculation**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Path | Tracing Cost | Baseline | Overhead |
|
||||
| ------------------------------ | ------------ | -------- | -------- |
|
||||
| Fast RPC (e.g., `server_info`) | 2.75 μs | ~1 ms | 0.275% |
|
||||
| Slow RPC (e.g., `path_find`) | 2.75 μs | ~100 ms | 0.003% |
|
||||
| Transaction processing | 4.0 μs | ~200 μs | 2.0% |
|
||||
| Consensus round | 36 μs | ~3 sec | 0.001% |
|
||||
|
||||
> At p99, even the worst case (TX processing at 2.0%) is within the 1-3% range. RPC and consensus overhead are negligible. On production hardware, TX overhead drops to ~1.3%.
|
||||
|
||||
### Per-Message Overhead (Context Propagation)
|
||||
|
||||
Each P2P message carries trace context with the following overhead:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Size | Description |
|
||||
| ------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `trace_id` | 16 bytes | Unique identifier for the entire trace |
|
||||
| `span_id` | 8 bytes | Current span (becomes parent on receiver) |
|
||||
| `trace_flags` | 1 byte | Sampling decision flags |
|
||||
| `trace_state` | 0-4 bytes | Optional vendor-specific data |
|
||||
| **Total** | **~29 bytes** | **Added per traced P2P message** |
|
||||
|
||||

|

```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Original Message (gray, left)**: The existing P2P message payload of variable size — this is unchanged; trace context is appended, never modifying the original data.
|
||||
- **+ TraceContext (green, right of message)**: The additional 29-byte context block attached to each traced message; the arrow from the original message shows it is a pure addition.
|
||||
- **Context Breakdown (right subgraph)**: The four fields — `trace_id` (16 bytes), `span_id` (8 bytes), `flags` (1 byte), and `state` (0-4 bytes) — show exactly what is added and their individual sizes.
|
||||
- **Color coding**: Blue fields (`trace_id`, `span_id`) are the core identifiers required for trace correlation; orange (`flags`) controls sampling decisions; purple (`state`) is optional vendor data typically omitted.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: 29 bytes represents ~1-6% overhead depending on message size (500B simple TX to 5KB proposal), which is acceptable for the observability benefits provided.

|
||||
|
||||
### Kill Switches (Rollback Options)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Config Disable**: Set `enabled=0` in config → instant disable, no restart needed for sampling
|
||||
2. **Rebuild**: Compile with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF` → zero overhead (no-op)
|
||||
3. **Full Revert**: Clean separation allows easy commit reversion

|
||||
## Slide 9: Sampling Strategies — Head vs. Tail
|
||||
|
||||
> Sampling controls **which traces are recorded and exported**. Without sampling, every operation generates a trace — at 500+ spans/sec, this overwhelms storage and network. Sampling lets you keep the signal, discard the noise.
|
||||
|
||||
### Head Sampling (Decision at Start)
|
||||
|
||||
The sampling decision is made **when a trace begins**, before any work is done. A random number is generated; if it falls within the configured ratio, the entire trace is recorded. Otherwise, the trace is silently dropped.
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
flowchart LR
|
||||

|
||||

|

|

| Aspect | Details |
|
||||
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Where it runs** | Inside xrpld (SDK-level). Configured via `sampling_ratio` in `xrpld.cfg`. |
|
||||
| **When the decision happens** | At trace creation time — before the first span is even populated. |
|
||||
| **How it works** | `sampling_ratio=0.1` means each trace has a 10% probability of being recorded. Dropped traces incur near-zero overhead (no spans created, no attributes set, no export). |
|
||||
| **Propagation** | Once a trace is sampled, the `trace_flags` field (1 byte in the context header) tells downstream nodes to also sample it. Unsampled traces propagate `trace_flags=0`, so downstream nodes skip them too. |
|
||||
| **Pros** | Lowest overhead. Simple to configure. Predictable resource usage. |
|
||||
| **Cons** | **Blind** — it doesn't know if the trace will be interesting. A rare error or slow consensus round has only a 10% chance of being captured. |
|
||||
| **Best for** | High-volume, steady-state traffic where most traces look similar (e.g., routine RPC requests). |
|
||||
|
||||
**xrpld configuration**:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[telemetry]
|
||||
# Record 10% of traces (recommended for production)
|
||||
sampling_ratio=0.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tail Sampling (Decision at End)
|
||||
|
||||
The sampling decision is made **after the trace completes**, based on its actual content — was it slow? Did it error? Was it a consensus round? This requires buffering complete traces before deciding.
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||

| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Where it runs** | In the **OTel Collector** (external process), not inside xrpld. xrpld exports 100% of traces; the Collector decides what to keep. |
|
||||
| **When the decision happens** | After the Collector has received all spans for a trace (waits `decision_wait=10s` for stragglers). |
|
||||
| **How it works** | Policy rules evaluate the completed trace: keep all errors, keep slow operations above a threshold, keep all consensus rounds, then probabilistically sample the rest at 10%. |
|
||||
| **Pros** | **Never misses important traces**. Errors, slow requests, and consensus anomalies are always captured regardless of probability. |
|
||||
| **Cons** | Higher resource usage — xrpld must export 100% of spans to the Collector, which buffers them in memory before deciding. The Collector needs more RAM (configured via `num_traces` and `decision_wait`). |
|
||||
| **Best for** | Production troubleshooting where you can't afford to miss errors or anomalies. |
|
||||
|
||||
**Collector configuration** (tail sampling rules for xrpld):
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
processors:
|
||||
tail_sampling:
|
||||
decision_wait: 10s # Wait for all spans in a trace
|

num_traces: 100000 # Buffer up to 100K concurrent traces
|
||||
policies:
|
||||
- name: errors # Always keep error traces
|
||||
type: status_code
|
||||
status_code: { status_codes: [ERROR] }
|
||||
|

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|

|

|

latency: { threshold_ms: 1000 }
|

|
||||
- name: probabilistic # Sample 10% of everything else
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
### Head vs. Tail — Side-by-Side
|
||||
|
||||
| | Head Sampling | Tail Sampling |
|
||||
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| **Decision point** | Trace start (inside xrpld) | Trace end (in OTel Collector) |
|
||||
| **Knows trace content?** | No (random coin flip) | Yes (evaluates completed trace) |
|
||||
| **Overhead on xrpld** | Lowest (dropped traces = no-op) | Higher (must export 100% to Collector) |
|
||||
| **Collector resource usage** | Low (receives only sampled traces) | Higher (buffers all traces before deciding) |
|
||||
| **Captures all errors?** | No (only if trace was randomly selected) | **Yes** (error policy catches them) |
|
||||
| **Captures slow operations?** | No (random) | **Yes** (latency policy catches them) |
|
||||
| **Configuration** | `xrpld.cfg`: `sampling_ratio=0.1` | `otel-collector.yaml`: `tail_sampling` processor |
|
||||
| **Best for** | High-throughput steady-state | Troubleshooting & anomaly detection |
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Strategy for xrpld
|
||||
|
||||
Use **both** in a layered approach:
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
flowchart LR
|
||||
subgraph xrpld["xrpld (Head Sampling)"]
|
||||
HS["sampling_ratio=1.0<br/>(export everything)"]
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
subgraph collector["OTel Collector (Tail Sampling)"]
|
||||
TS["Keep: errors + slow + 10% random<br/>Drop: routine traces"]
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
subgraph storage["Backend Storage"]
|
||||
ST["Only interesting traces<br/>stored long-term"]
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
xrpld -->|"100% of spans"| collector -->|"~15-20% kept"| storage
|
||||
|
||||
style xrpld fill:#424242,stroke:#212121,color:#fff
|
||||
style collector fill:#1565c0,stroke:#0d47a1,color:#fff
|
||||
style storage fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Why this works**: xrpld exports everything (no blind drops), the Collector applies intelligent filtering (keep errors/slow/anomalies, sample the rest), and only ~15-20% of traces reach storage. If Collector resource usage becomes a concern, add head sampling at `sampling_ratio=0.5` to halve the export volume while still giving the Collector enough data for good tail-sampling decisions.

|

**Reading the diagram:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **NOT Collected (top row, red)**: Private Keys, Account Balances, and Transaction Amounts are explicitly excluded — these are financial/security-sensitive fields that telemetry never touches.
|
||||
- **Also Excluded (bottom row, red)**: IP Addresses (configurable per deployment), Personal Data, and Raw TX Payloads are also excluded — these protect operator and user privacy.
|
||||
- **All-red styling**: Every box is styled in red to visually reinforce that these are hard exclusions, not optional — the telemetry system has no code path to collect any of these fields.
|
||||
- **Two-row layout**: The split between "NOT Collected" and "Also Excluded" distinguishes between financial data (top) and operational/personal data (bottom), making the privacy boundaries clear to auditors.
|
||||
|
||||
### Privacy Protection Mechanisms
|
||||
|
||||
| Mechanism | Description |
|
||||
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Account Hashing** | `tx_account` is hashed at collector level before storage |
|
||||
| **Configurable Redaction** | Sensitive fields can be excluded via config |
|
||||
| **Sampling** | Only 10% of traces recorded by default (reduces exposure) |
|
||||
| **Local Control** | Node operators control what gets exported |
|
||||
| **No Raw Payloads** | Transaction content is never recorded, only metadata |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Key Principle**: Telemetry collects **operational metadata** (timing, counts, hashes) — never **sensitive content** (keys, balances, amounts).

# OpenTelemetry Tracing for xrpld

|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
xrpld supports optional [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) distributed tracing.
|
||||
When enabled, it instruments RPC requests with trace spans that are exported via
|
||||
OTLP/HTTP to an OpenTelemetry Collector, which forwards them to a tracing backend
|
||||
such as Grafana Tempo.
|
||||
|
||||
Telemetry is **off by default** at both compile time and runtime:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Compile time**: The Conan option `telemetry` and CMake option `telemetry` must be set to `True`/`ON`.
|
||||
When disabled, all `SpanGuard` calls compile to inline no-ops (defined in `SpanGuard.h`)
|
||||
with zero overhead — no OTel SDK dependency required.
|
||||
- **Runtime**: The `[telemetry]` config section must set `enabled=1`.
|
||||
When disabled at runtime, a no-op implementation is used.
|
||||
|
||||
## Building with Telemetry
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the same instructions as mentioned in [BUILD.md](../../BUILD.md) but with the following changes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Pass `-o telemetry=True` to `conan install` to pull the `opentelemetry-cpp` dependency.
|
||||
2. CMake will automatically pick up `telemetry=ON` from the Conan-generated toolchain.
|
||||
3. Build as usual.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Build steps
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /path/to/xrpld
|
||||
rm -rf .build
|
||||
mkdir .build
|
||||
cd .build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Install dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
The `telemetry` option adds `opentelemetry-cpp/1.26.0` as a dependency.
|
||||
If the Conan lockfile does not yet include this package, bypass it with `--lockfile=""`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
conan install .. \
|
||||
--output-folder . \
|
||||
--build missing \
|
||||
--settings build_type=Debug \
|
||||
-o telemetry=True \
|
||||
-o tests=True \
|
||||
-o xrpld=True \
|
||||
--lockfile=""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: The first build with telemetry may take longer as `opentelemetry-cpp`
|
||||
> and its transitive dependencies are compiled from source.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Call CMake
|
||||
|
||||
The Conan-generated toolchain file sets `telemetry=ON` automatically.
|
||||
No additional CMake flags are needed beyond the standard ones.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cmake .. -G Ninja \
|
||||
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:FILEPATH=build/generators/conan_toolchain.cmake \
|
||||
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
|
||||
-Dtests=ON -Dxrpld=ON
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should see in the CMake output:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
-- OpenTelemetry tracing enabled
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Build
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cmake --build . --parallel $(nproc)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Building without telemetry
|
||||
|
||||
Omit the `-o telemetry=True` option (or pass `-o telemetry=False`).
|
||||
The `opentelemetry-cpp` dependency will not be downloaded,
|
||||
the `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` preprocessor define will not be set,
|
||||
and all tracing macros will compile to no-ops.
|
||||
The resulting binary is identical to one built before telemetry support was added.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Conan lockfile error
|
||||
|
||||
If you see `ERROR: Requirement 'opentelemetry-cpp/1.26.0' not in lockfile 'requires'`,
|
||||
the lockfile was generated without the telemetry dependency.
|
||||
Pass `--lockfile=""` to bypass the lockfile, or regenerate it with telemetry enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
### CMake target not found
|
||||
|
||||
If CMake reports that `opentelemetry-cpp` targets are not found,
|
||||
ensure you ran `conan install` with `-o telemetry=True` and that the
|
||||
Conan-generated toolchain file is being used.
|
||||
The Conan package provides a single umbrella target
|
||||
`opentelemetry-cpp::opentelemetry-cpp` (not individual component targets).
|
||||
|
||||
## Conditional compilation
|
||||
|
||||
All OpenTelemetry SDK types are hidden behind the pimpl idiom in `SpanGuard.cpp`.
|
||||
When `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is not defined, `SpanGuard.h` provides an all-inline
|
||||
no-op stub class with zero overhead and zero OTel dependencies.
|
||||
At runtime, if `enabled=0` is set in config (or the section is omitted), a
|
||||
`NullTelemetry` implementation is used that returns no-op spans.
|
||||
This two-layer approach ensures zero overhead when telemetry is not wanted.

|
||||
Static factory methods access the global Telemetry instance
|
||||
internally (via Telemetry::getInstance()), check whether tracing
|
||||
is enabled for the requested subsystem, and return either an
|
||||
active guard or a null (no-op) guard. Callers never need a
|
||||
Telemetry reference.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage examples:
|
||||
|
||||
Span names and attribute keys come from per-module `*SpanNames.h`
|
||||
headers (e.g. RpcSpanNames.h, TxSpanNames.h) as typed compile-time
|
||||
constants — never raw string literals — so the naming spec is
|
||||
enforced at the call site and dashboards stay in sync.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Basic RPC tracing (factory method with category):
|
||||
@code
|
||||
#include <xrpld/rpc/detail/RpcSpanNames.h>
|
||||
using namespace xrpl::telemetry;
|
||||
|
||||
auto span = SpanGuard::span(
|
||||
TraceCategory::Rpc, rpc_span::prefix::command, "submit");
|
||||
span.setAttribute(rpc_span::attr::command, "submit");
|
||||
span.setAttribute(rpc_span::attr::rpcStatus, rpc_span::val::success);
|
||||
// span ended automatically on scope exit
|
||||
@endcode
|
||||
|
||||
2. Error recording:
|
||||
@code
|
||||
auto span = SpanGuard::span(
|
||||
TraceCategory::Rpc, rpc_span::prefix::command, "submit");
|
||||
try {
|
||||
doWork();
|
||||
span.setOk();
|
||||
} catch (std::exception const& e) {
|
||||
span.recordException(e);
|
||||
}
|
||||
@endcode
|
||||
|
||||
3. Cross-thread context propagation:
|
||||
@code
|
||||
#include <xrpld/consensus/ConsensusSpanNames.h>
|
||||
using namespace xrpl::telemetry;
|
||||
|
||||
// Thread A: create span and capture context
|
||||
auto span = SpanGuard::span(
|
||||
TraceCategory::Consensus, seg::consensus, consensus::span::op::round);
|
||||
auto ctx = span.captureContext();
|
||||
|
||||
// Thread B: create child with captured context
|
||||
auto child = SpanGuard::childSpan(consensus::span::accept, ctx);
|
||||
@endcode
|
||||
|
||||
4. Conditional check (rarely needed — methods are no-ops on null):
|
||||
@code
|
||||
auto span = SpanGuard::span(
|
||||
TraceCategory::Rpc, rpc_span::prefix::rpc, rpc_span::op::httpRequest);
|
||||
if (span) {
|
||||
// expensive attribute computation only when active
|
||||
span.setAttribute(rpc_span::attr::requestPayloadSize, computeSize());
|
||||
}
|
||||
@endcode
|
||||
|
||||
5. Tail-based filtering via discard():
|
||||
@code
|
||||
auto span = SpanGuard::span(
|
||||
TraceCategory::Transactions, tx_span::prefix::tx, tx_span::op::process);
|
||||
auto result = preflight(tx);
|
||||
if (result != tesSUCCESS) {
|
||||
span.discard(); // drop span, never exported
|
||||
return result;
|
||||
}
|
||||
@endcode
|
||||
|
||||
@note Thread safety: A SpanGuard must only be used on the thread
|
||||
where it was constructed (the internal Scope binds to the
|
||||
thread-local context stack). Use captureContext() to propagate
|
||||
the trace to other threads.
|
||||
|
||||
@note Move semantics: Move construction transfers ownership of
|
||||
the pimpl pointer — no double-Scope issues. Move assignment is
|
||||
deleted to prevent re-scoping mid-flight.
|
||||
|
||||
@note Known limitations:
|
||||
- Attributes cannot be removed per the OTel spec; use
|
||||
setAttribute with an empty value as a convention.
|
||||
- SpanGuard::span() (raw Span access) is intentionally not
|
||||
exposed — all interaction goes through the public methods.

/** Abstract interface for OpenTelemetry distributed tracing.
|
||||
|
||||
Provides the Telemetry base class that all components use to create trace
|
||||
spans. Two concrete implementations exist, selected at construction time
|
||||
by makeTelemetry():
|
||||
|
||||
- TelemetryImpl (Telemetry.cpp): real OTel SDK integration, compiled
|
||||
only when XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY is defined and enabled at runtime.
|
||||
- NullTelemetry (NullTelemetry.cpp): no-op stub used when telemetry is
|
||||
disabled at compile time or runtime.

||||

|

+----------------+ +---------------+ +------------------+
|
||||
|
||||
The Setup struct holds all configuration parsed from the [telemetry]
|
||||
section of xrpld.cfg. See TelemetryConfig.cpp for the parser and
|
||||
cfg/xrpld-example.cfg for the available options.
|
||||
|
||||
OTel SDK headers are conditionally included behind XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY
|
||||
so that builds without telemetry have zero dependency on opentelemetry-cpp.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage examples:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Root span at a subsystem entry point (typical usage):
|
||||
@code
|
||||
// In an RPC handler dispatch:
|
||||
auto guard = SpanGuard::span(TraceCategory::Rpc, "rpc", commandName);
|
||||
guard.setAttribute("command", commandName);
|
||||
// ... process request
|
||||
// guard destructor automatically ends the span on scope exit
|
||||
@endcode
|
||||
|
||||
2. Child span for a sub-operation (cross-scope):
|
||||
@code
|
||||
auto parent = SpanGuard::span(TraceCategory::Transactions, "tx", "process");
|
||||
{
|
||||
auto child = parent.childSpan("tx.apply");
|
||||
child.setAttribute("tx_type", txType);
|
||||
// child ends here
|
||||
}
|
||||
// parent continues, then ends here
|
||||
@endcode
|
||||
|
||||
3. Cross-thread context propagation:
|
||||
@code
|
||||
// Thread A: capture the active context while span is in scope
|
||||
auto ctx = parentGuard.captureContext();
|
||||
|
||||
// Thread B: create child span with explicit parent
|
||||
auto child = SpanGuard::childSpan("async.work", ctx);
|
||||
@endcode
|
||||
|
||||
@note Thread safety: The Telemetry interface is safe for concurrent reads
|
||||
(isEnabled, shouldTrace*, getTracer, startSpan) after start() completes.
|
||||
setServiceInstanceId() must be called before start() and is not thread-safe.
|
||||
The OTel SDK's TracerProvider and Tracer are internally thread-safe.

/** SpanProcessor decorator that drops discarded spans.

|

Wraps a delegate processor (typically BatchSpanProcessor). In OnEnd(),
|
||||
checks the gTlDiscardCurrentSpan thread-local flag. If set (by
|
||||
SpanGuard::discard()), the span is silently dropped — never entering
|
||||
the batch queue, never sent over the network, never stored.
|
||||
|
||||
Uses a thread-local flag rather than inspecting Recordable attributes
|
||||
because the Recordable type varies by exporter (SpanData for simple
|
||||
exporters, OtlpRecordable for OTLP) and none expose a uniform getter.
|
||||
The flag is safe because Span::End() calls OnEnd() synchronously on
|
||||
the same thread.
|
||||
|
||||
All other methods delegate directly to the wrapped processor.
