refactor(metrics): give every metric a logos_delivery_ prefix (#4074)
* 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.

networkmonitor

Monitoring tool to run in an existing waku network with the following features:

  • Keeps discovering new peers using discv5
  • Tracks advertised capabilities of each node as per stored in the ENR waku field
  • Attempts to connect to all nodes, tracking which protocols each node supports
  • Presents grafana-ready metrics showing the state of the network in terms of locations, ips, number discovered peers, number of peers we could connect to, user-agent that each peer contains, content topics and the amount of rx messages in each one.
  • Metrics are exposed through prometheus metrics but also with a custom rest api, presenting detailed information about each peer. These metrics are exposed via a rest api.

Metrics

Metrics are divided into two categories:

  • Prometheus metrics, exposed as i.e. gauges.
  • Custom metrics, used for unconstrained labels such as peer information or content topics.
    • These metrics are not exposed through prometheus because since they are unconstrained, they can end up breaking the backend, as a new datapoint is generated for each one and it can reach up a point where is too much to handle.

### Prometheus Metrics

The following metrics are available. See http://localhost:8008/metrics

  • peer_type_as_per_enr: Number of peers supporting each capability according to the ENR (Relay, Store, Lightpush, Filter)
  • peer_type_as_per_protocol: Number of peers supporting each protocol, after a successful connection)
  • peer_user_agents: List of useragents found in the network and their count

Other relevant metrics reused from nim-eth:

  • routing_table_nodes: Inherited from nim-eth, number of nodes in the routing table
  • discovery_message_requests_outgoing_total: Inherited from nim-eth, number of outgoing discovery requests, useful to know if the node is actively looking for new peers

### Custom Metrics

The following endpoints are available:

  • http://localhost:8009/allpeersinfo: json list of all peers with extra information such as ip, location, supported protocols and last connection time.
  • http://localhost:8009/contenttopics: content topic messages and its message count.
