refactor(ingest): use fixed Kafka event topic - #5017
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughKafka ingest configuration now supports an explicit event topic with a templated fallback. Server wiring resolves this topic once, and the Kafka collector uses it directly for all namespaces. Tests cover topic selection, fixed-topic ingestion, and empty-topic validation. ChangesKafka event topic ingestion
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The collector now publishes all namespaces to one configured Kafka topic, but the sink may still subscribe only to namespace-shaped topics; with an explicit topic, ingestion can succeed while events remain unprocessed. The sink subscription should be coordinated with the configured topic before merge, and owners should confirm the shared topic’s cross-namespace access policy. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

If ingest.kafka.eventsTopic is set to a valid Kafka topic such as events or om_events, NewEventTopic returns it unchanged while the sink subscribes only to topics matching its namespace-topic regexp. Events are accepted and queued in Kafka, but the sink never consumes them for storage or usage aggregation.

**Topics bypass sink discovery**
If `ingest.kafka.eventsTopic` is set to a valid Kafka topic such as `events` or `om_events`, `NewEventTopic` returns it unchanged while the sink subscribes only to topics matching its namespace-topic regexp. Events are accepted and queued in Kafka, but the sink never consumes them for storage or usage aggregation.

The regexp used for topic name matching can be set in the sink worker configuration.

You're right—the sink's NamespaceTopicRegexp is configurable, so an explicit ingest.kafka.eventsTopic is supported as long as the sink configuration matches it. My original comment treated the default regexp as invariant, which was too strong. The remaining concern is only an operational misconfiguration risk: the ingest topic and sink regexp are independent, so a mismatch would leave events unconsumed. I don't consider that a blocking defect in this PR and would withdraw the finding.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Exercise both serializer calls in the fixed-topic test.
SerializeKey returns serializerError at Line 26, so Ingest exits before calling SerializeValue. The test does not detect a wrong topic passed to value serialization. Make SerializeKey succeed, record the topic in SerializeValue, return serializerError there, and assert both topic lists.
As per path instructions, tests must be comprehensive and cover the changes.

Subscribe the sink to the configured event topic.
The collector now publishes all namespaces to EventTopic, but the sink subscription still filters for namespace-shaped topics. When EventsTopic is set to a fixed name, events can be accepted by ingest and then remain unconsumed. Include the configured event topic in the sink subscription while preserving namespace routing from the message headers.

What
ingest.kafka.eventsTopicconfiguration parameter.om_default_events.Why
The ingest pipeline no longer needs to resolve a Kafka topic for every event based on its namespace. Using one fixed destination removes unnecessary runtime work and simplifies the path from HTTP ingestion to Kafka while retaining backward compatibility for existing deployments.

Greptile Summary
The PR changes Kafka ingestion from per-namespace topic resolution to a single configured event topic, with a default derived from the default namespace.
ingest.kafka.eventsTopicand fixed-topic dependency injection.Confidence Score: 4/5
The explicit-topic path needs coordination with sink topic discovery before merging, otherwise valid configurations can silently leave ingested events unprocessed.
The producer now accepts arbitrary fixed topic names, while the existing sink subscribes only to names matching its namespace-topic regexp; no validation ensures those independently configured values are compatible.
