* refactor(metrics): prefix node metrics with logos_delivery_
Every metric the node exports now starts with logos_delivery_. There was no
prefix mechanism before: nim-metrics derives the exported name from the Nim
identifier, no declaration passed an explicit `name = "..."`, and the waku_
convention was maintained by hand -- 69 of the 80 node metrics followed it and
11 did not (query_count, query_time_secs, event_loop_load,
event_loop_accumulated_lag_secs, postgres_payload_size_bytes, reconciliation_*,
total_* and the camelCase rendezvousPeerFoundTotal).
Identifiers are renamed rather than given a `name = "..."` argument, keeping the
invariant that the Nim identifier is the exported name and letting the compiler
check every call site.
rendezvousPeerFoundTotal becomes logos_delivery_rendezvous_peer_found: it was the
only camelCase metric, and the trailing Total was redundant since nim-metrics
already appends _total to counters at exposition time.
library/ is untouched on purpose -- `proc waku_version()` in
kernel_api/debug_node_api.nim is the exported libwaku C ABI symbol, not the gauge
of the same name in node_telemetry.nim.
BREAKING CHANGE: metric names change. Dashboards, alert rules and recording rules
that reference waku_* must be updated; see docs/operators/how-to/monitor.md.
* refactor(metrics): prefix auxiliary app metrics with logos_delivery_
Applies the same prefix to the tools shipped from this repo: liteprotocoltester
(lpt_*), networkmonitor (networkmonitor_*), chat2bridge (chat2_*) and the
lightpush_mix example (lp_mix_*).
These tools are not the delivery node and already had their own consistent
prefixes, so this commit is separable from the node rename if the intent was to
namespace only the node itself.
* chore(metrics): query old and new metric names in Grafana dashboards
212 expressions across 9 dashboards now match both the waku_* and the
logos_delivery_* spelling, so panels keep working across the upgrade and over
historical data:
sum by (type)((increase(waku_node_errors_total{...}[$__rate_interval])
or increase(logos_delivery_node_errors_total{...}[$__rate_interval])))
The `or` is placed around the leaf, inside every aggregation. That depth is
load-bearing: `or` keeps its right operand only for label sets absent from the
left, so `sum by (type)(old) or sum by (type)(new)` aggregates each half of the
fleet separately and then discards the right one entirely -- silently dropping
every already-upgraded node. 36 panels here collapse `instance`.
Measured against a local Prometheus scraping two targets, one exporting old names
at 10/s and one exporting new names at 20/s (truth 30/s): union outside the
aggregation gives 10, union around the leaf gives 30.
Where the leaf sits in a range vector the whole call is duplicated, since
`(a or b)[5m]` is not valid PromQL.
Once every scraped node runs a release with the new names and the old samples
have aged out of retention, the `or` half can be deleted.
* test(e2e): expect logos_delivery_-prefixed metric names
The e2e suite asserts against a live /metrics endpoint, which serves only the new
names, so these are replaced rather than unioned. libp2p_* entries are unchanged.
* docs(operators): document the logos_delivery_ metric prefix
Records that every metric the node exports is prefixed, that dependency metrics
(libp2p_*, nim_gc_*, process_*) keep their own names, and shows where the `or`
has to sit if operators maintain their own dashboards or alert rules.
* refactor(metrics): name the store fleet metrics after store, not relay
logos_delivery_relay_fleet_store_msg_size_bytes and _msg_count are declared in
waku_store/protocol_metrics.nim and recorded by the store client, but carried a
relay prefix. Renamed to logos_delivery_store_fleet_msg_size_bytes and
logos_delivery_store_fleet_msg_count.
The dashboard keeps matching the old exported name, which was
waku_relay_fleet_store_*.
Note that both metrics are wrong independently of their name, see the PR
description.
The nwaku guide for operators
If you're eager to get started, check out our quickstart guide for typical configurations or step-by-step overview for newcomers.
Nwaku is a client implementation in Nim of the Waku v2 family of protocols for peer-to-peer communication. The protocols are designed to be secure, privacy-preserving, censorship-resistant and able to run in resource restricted environments. Moreover, we've taken a modular approach so that node operators can choose which protocols they want to support based on their own motivations and availability of resources. We call this concept "adaptive nodes", implying that a Waku v2 network can consist of heterogeneous nodes contributing at different levels to the network.
Nwaku (formerly nim-waku) aims to be a lightweight and robust Waku v2 client.
It serves as the reference implementation for researchers,
who extend the client in parallel to spec development.
As such, it is first in line to support innovative and new Waku v2 protocols,
but configurable enough to serve the adaptive needs of various operators.
We are also developing a set of operator-focused tools to monitor and maintain a running nwaku node.
This guide provides step-by-step tutorials covering how to build and configure your own nwaku node, connect to an existing Waku v2 network and use existing tools for monitoring and maintaining a running node.
