feat(worker): add quic dial and transport rotation metrics - #1500
Conversation
The worker proxy package exported no metrics at all, so both QUIC tunnel
failure modes and the rotation that recovers from one of them were visible
only in logs. A tunnel outage could not be detected without reading worker
logs, which is why the last one was reported by a customer rather than by
monitoring.
Adds four series under nvcf_worker_service_quic:
dial_total all dial attempts
dial_failure_total{reason} failures, reason = timeout|auth|other
transport_rotation_total rotations performed by #1383
tunnel_active tunnels currently held
The reason label is the point. Both tunnel failures log the same message,
"quic connection attempt failed", and are distinguishable only by the error:
a network timeout is QUIC flow poisoning, a 403 is the saturated backlog
wedge. Separating them at the metrics layer is what makes them triageable
without log archaeology.
Pairing dial_failure_total with transport_rotation_total distinguishes
"failing and recovering" from "failing and stuck". This matters because
failures alone are not actionable: a routine proxy scale-down was measured
producing 331 dial failures that cleared in 8 seconds. Alerting on failure
count alone would page on every scale-down; failures rising while rotations
stay flat is the condition that needs an operator.
Failure reasons are pre-initialized to zero so every series exists on the
first scrape, keeping absent() alerts and rate() gaps correct.

Absorbs #1492 so the rotation observability lands as one worker change rather than two, keeping the number of worker image rollouts to one. Three paths in noteDialResult decline to rotate and return silently: a dial from a superseded transport, a cancelled context, and an error that is not a network timeout. Silently, they make "rotation never fired" indistinguishable from "rotation fired and did not help". Adds dial_skip_total{reason} with reason = stale_transport | ctx_cancelled | not_timeout, and a sampled log line for the same events. #1492 counted these with atomic.Int64 and reported them only in logs, so the counts could not be graphed or alerted on; the atomics remain, but only to rate limit the log. The metric is incremented on every occurrence, and only the log is sampled. Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>
… path Both from review on #1500. Close cleared the client map without decrementing the tunnel gauge, so every tunnel the cache ever held leaked onto it. The cache-removal callback cannot cover this: cl.Close fires it on another goroutine, which blocks on the cache mutex until Close returns and then finds the map already nil, so it returns without decrementing. Close now decrements as it drains the map. Dial counting moved from noteDialResult to the dial call site. noteDialResult is reached only from the default dial path, so a configured wrappedTransport.Dial would have been unmeasured. That field is assigned only in tests today, so nothing was under-counted in production, but leaving the counters there meant setting it later would silently take the metrics offline. Rotation bookkeeping stays in noteDialResult; only the counting moved. Adds a close-path gauge test. Without the first fix it fails by three. Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>

Both review findings verified against the code and fixed in ae165b9. Tunnel gauge leaked on close — confirmed real. Configured dial path unmeasured — confirmed, with a scope correction worth noting: This branch also now absorbs #1492 (closed), so the rotation observability lands as one worker change and one image rollout rather than two.

…lp text Both from review on #1500. A dial that fails to obtain a transport returned before any counting, so a worker unable to bind a UDP socket would have reported no dial activity at all rather than failures. That reads as idle rather than broken, which is the same silent-zero shape this instrumentation exists to remove. The attempt is now recorded before the early return. Binding an ephemeral UDP port does not fail outside fd exhaustion, so the path was untestable. Adds a listenUDP seam and a regression test that drives it. dial_skip_total's help text described dial failures. The stale_transport reason also covers successful dials, because the staleness guard runs before the error is examined, so a dial that succeeded on a superseded socket lands there too. Reworded to dial results and documented on the constant. Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>

Both verified against the code and fixed in ce60e72. Transport-init failure not counted — confirmed. That path was untestable because binding an ephemeral UDP port does not fail outside fd exhaustion, so this adds a Help text wording — confirmed, and the reasoning is worth keeping in the code.

Why
The worker proxy package exports no metrics. Both QUIC tunnel failures, and the
rotation added in #1383 that recovers from one of them, are visible only in log
lines. A tunnel outage cannot be detected without reading worker logs across
every function instance, which is why the last one was reported by a customer
rather than by monitoring.
The two failures also share the log message
quic connection attempt failedand differ only in the error: a network timeout is QUIC flow poisoning, a 403
is the saturated backlog wedge. Anything keyed on the message measures both at
once.
What changed
Six series under
nvcf_worker_service_quic:Two design points carry the value:
reasonseparates failure A from failure B at the metrics layer.dial_skip_totalcovers the three paths that decline to rotate and wouldotherwise return silently, so "rotation never fired" is distinguishable from
"rotation fired and did not help".
Absorbs #1492 (closed) so this lands as one worker change and one image
rollout. #1492 counted the skip paths with
atomic.Int64in sampled logs only;they are now exported. The atomics remain solely to rate limit the log line.
Customer Release Notes
Not customer visible.
Plan Summary
Not applicable.
Usage
Alerting pairs the counters rather than thresholding failures. A routine proxy
scale-down was measured producing 331 dial failures that cleared in 8 seconds,
so a threshold on failure count pages on every scale-down. The actionable
condition is failures sustained while rotation is not engaging:
Testing
go test ./proxy/... ./metrics/...,-race, andbazel test //src/libraries/go/worker/proxy:all --flaky_test_attempts=3pass.Seven tests cover what the alerting depends on: reason labels separate timeout
from auth, a successful dial records no failure, the rotation counter moves
only on a real rotation, skip paths are attributed by reason, and the tunnel
gauge stays balanced across both repeated removal and close.

127.0.0.1:10084. Pre-existing on main, unrelated.No QA needed; this adds instrumentation and changes no request-handling
behaviour.
Notes
Review found two gauge defects, both fixed in ae165b9:
Closecleared the client map without decrementingtunnel_active, leakingevery tunnel the cache held. The removal callback could not cover it:
cl.Closefires it on another goroutine, which blocks on the cache mutexuntil
Closereturns and then finds the map already nil.noteDialResult, which is reached only from the defaultdial path.
wrappedTransport.Dialis assigned only in tests, so nothing wasunder-counted in production, but setting it later would have taken the
metrics offline silently. Counting moved to the dial call site.
Alert rules and dashboards are follow-up work, not in this PR.
