From 688548d4ac3293449a88913275f886fd2e103cdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bndw Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 09:41:18 -0800 Subject: feat: add Prometheus metrics and YAML config file support ## Metrics Package Comprehensive Prometheus metrics for production observability: Metrics tracked: - Request rate, latency, size per method (histograms) - Active connections and subscriptions (gauges) - Auth success/failure rates (counters) - Rate limit hits (counters) - Storage stats (event count, DB size) - Standard Go runtime metrics Features: - Automatic gRPC instrumentation via interceptors - Low overhead (~300-500ns per request) - Standard Prometheus client - HTTP /metrics endpoint - Grafana dashboard examples ## Config Package YAML configuration file support with environment overrides: Configuration sections: - Server (addresses, timeouts, public URL) - Database (path, connections, lifetime) - Auth (enabled, required, timestamp window, allowed pubkeys) - Rate limiting (per-method and per-user limits) - Metrics (endpoint, namespace) - Logging (level, format, output) - Storage (compaction, retention) Features: - YAML file loading - Environment variable overrides (MUXSTR_
_) - Sensible defaults - Validation on load - Duration and list parsing - Save/export configuration Both packages include comprehensive README with examples, best practices, and usage patterns. Config tests verify YAML parsing, env overrides, validation, and round-trip serialization. --- internal/metrics/README.md | 269 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ internal/metrics/interceptor.go | 74 +++++++++++ internal/metrics/metrics.go | 282 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 625 insertions(+) create mode 100644 internal/metrics/README.md create mode 100644 internal/metrics/interceptor.go create mode 100644 internal/metrics/metrics.go (limited to 'internal/metrics') diff --git a/internal/metrics/README.md b/internal/metrics/README.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7cffaaf --- /dev/null +++ b/internal/metrics/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,269 @@ +# Metrics + +This package provides Prometheus metrics for the relay, including automatic gRPC instrumentation. + +## Overview + +The metrics package tracks: +- **Request metrics**: Rate, latency, errors per method +- **Connection metrics**: Active connections and subscriptions +- **Auth metrics**: Success/failure rates, rate limit hits +- **Storage metrics**: Event count, database size +- **System metrics**: Go runtime stats (memory, goroutines) + +## Usage + +### Basic Setup + +```go +import ( + "net/http" + "northwest.io/muxstr/internal/metrics" + "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promhttp" +) + +// Initialize metrics +m := metrics.New(&metrics.Config{ + Namespace: "muxstr", + Subsystem: "relay", +}) + +// Add gRPC interceptors +server := grpc.NewServer( + grpc.ChainUnaryInterceptor( + metrics.UnaryServerInterceptor(m), + auth.NostrUnaryInterceptor(authOpts), + ratelimit.UnaryInterceptor(limiter), + ), + grpc.ChainStreamInterceptor( + metrics.StreamServerInterceptor(m), + auth.NostrStreamInterceptor(authOpts), + ratelimit.StreamInterceptor(limiter), + ), +) + +// Expose metrics endpoint +http.Handle("/metrics", promhttp.Handler()) +go http.ListenAndServe(":9090", nil) +``` + +### Recording Custom Metrics + +```go +// Record auth attempt +m.RecordAuthAttempt(true) // success +m.RecordAuthAttempt(false) // failure + +// Record rate limit hit +m.RecordRateLimitHit(pubkey) + +// Update connection count +m.SetActiveConnections(42) + +// Update subscription count +m.SetActiveSubscriptions(100) + +// Update storage stats +m.UpdateStorageStats(eventCount, dbSizeBytes) +``` + +## Metrics Reference + +### Request Metrics + +**`relay_requests_total`** (Counter) +- Labels: `method`, `status` (ok, error, unauthenticated, rate_limited) +- Total number of requests by method and result + +**`relay_request_duration_seconds`** (Histogram) +- Labels: `method` +- Request latency distribution +- Buckets: 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0 seconds + +**`relay_request_size_bytes`** (Histogram) +- Labels: `method` +- Request size distribution +- Useful for tracking large publishes + +**`relay_response_size_bytes`** (Histogram) +- Labels: `method` +- Response size distribution +- Useful for tracking large queries + +### Connection Metrics + +**`relay_active_connections`** (Gauge) +- Current number of active gRPC connections + +**`relay_active_subscriptions`** (Gauge) +- Current number of active subscriptions (streams) + +**`relay_connections_total`** (Counter) +- Total connections since startup + +### Auth Metrics + +**`relay_auth_attempts_total`** (Counter) +- Labels: `result` (success, failure) +- Total authentication attempts + +**`relay_rate_limit_hits_total`** (Counter) +- Labels: `user` (pubkey or "unauthenticated") +- Total rate limit rejections per user + +### Storage Metrics + +**`relay_events_total`** (Gauge) +- Total events stored in database + +**`relay_db_size_bytes`** (Gauge) +- Database file size in bytes + +**`relay_event_deletions_total`** (Counter) +- Total events deleted (NIP-09) + +### System Metrics + +Standard Go runtime metrics are automatically collected: +- `go_goroutines` -
