feat(monitoring): per-tenant OTLP collector (tracing phase 2) by scooby87 · Pull Request #3763 · cozystack/cozystack

scooby87 · 2026-08-11T21:00:37Z

What this PR does

Phase 2 of distributed tracing (design cozystack/community#38, epic #3761), built on the phase-1 backend (#3762, merged): a per-tenant OpenTelemetry Collector — the app-facing OTLP ingest gateway. It lives in the tenant namespace (like a per-tenant vmagent), so app→collector traffic is intra-namespace and never crosses the tenant boundary. No OTel operator exists in the platform, so this is a plain Deployment + ConfigMap + Service (the fluent-bit pattern).

Changes

templates/vtraces/collector.yaml — OTLP receivers (gRPC :4317, HTTP :4318) → memory_limiter + head sampling (probabilistic_sampler, default 10%) + optional attributes/redact (PII/secret control point) + batch → otlphttp exporter to the tracingStorages backend (vtinsert:10481 cluster / vtsingle:10428 single, endpoints per upstream docs). PSS-restricted securityContext, digest-pinned image via cozy-lib.image, config-checksum roll.
app-facing Service otel-traces (4317/4318).
tracingCollector values — enabled / replicas / samplingPercentage (schema-bounded 0-100) / redactAttributes / resources. A fail-guard rejects an enabled collector fronting more than one tracingStorages backend (it exports to a single backend by design).
otel-traces WorkloadMonitor and dashboard resource-map entry, rendered under the collector's own gate. The same resource-map Role also gets the pre-existing alermanager typo corrected to alertmanager, so the alertmanager WorkloadMonitor is readable from the dashboard.
helm-unittest coverage for the collector and its WorkloadMonitor; regenerated values.schema.json / README.md / monitoring-rd ApplicationDefinition.

Verification

helm unittest — system/monitoring 110, extra/monitoring 15, all pass.
helm template renders cleanly; make generate idempotent.
Live check on a test cluster (single-mode backend): the collector starts with redactAttributes containing a numeric, a colon-bearing and an empty key; an OTLP/HTTP span sent to otel-traces:4318 is accepted and is queryable from the backend through the Jaeger API, with the redacted attributes removed and the others kept.
Local /branch-review — LGTM (one blocker + four recommendations fixed, each with a test: multi-backend guard, memory_limiter cgroup limit, configurable replicas, sampling bounds, trust-boundary wording).

Scope / deferred (epic #3761)

AccountID/ProjectID header injection for the shared-central topology (phase 4) and engine integrations (phase 3) are follow-up PRs.

Screenshots

N/A, no UI change.

Downstream repositories

The diff touches only packages/extra/monitoring, packages/system/monitoring and packages/system/monitoring-rd. The website's monitoring reference page is regenerated from the package README by the release bot, and the Terraform provider models only the tenant's monitoring flag, not these values, so no follow-up is needed.

Release note

feat(monitoring): deploy a per-tenant OpenTelemetry (OTLP) collector for traces once a VictoriaTraces backend is configured. Applications send OTLP to the in-namespace `otel-traces` Service (gRPC `:4317`, HTTP `:4318`); the collector applies head sampling (`samplingPercentage`, default 10%) and optional attribute redaction (`redactAttributes`) before exporting to the backend. Off by default (no backend configured).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The monitoring charts now configure trace storage and an optional OTLP collector. When enabled with a configured backend, the collector receives, samples, and exports traces. The extra monitoring chart conditionally adds a workload monitor and dashboard Role access for the collector.

Changes

Monitoring Tracing Support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tracing configuration and defaults `packages/extra/monitoring/values.schema.json`, `packages/extra/monitoring/values.yaml`, `packages/extra/monitoring/README.md`, `packages/system/monitoring/values.yaml`, `packages/system/monitoring-rd/cozyrds/monitoring.yaml`	The values define collector enablement, replicas, sampling, redaction, and resources. The documentation describes empty-storage behavior, the one-backend limit when the collector is enabled, and direct OTLP delivery when it is disabled.
OTLP collector `packages/system/monitoring/templates/vtraces/collector.yaml`, `packages/system/monitoring/templates/vtraces/vtraces.yaml`, `packages/system/monitoring/tests/vtraces_collector_test.yaml`	The collector renders a ConfigMap, Deployment, and Service when enabled with a backend. It configures OTLP receivers, sampling, optional attribute deletion, and export to the configured backend. Tests cover rendering conditions, endpoints, settings, and security context.
Dashboard and workload monitoring `packages/extra/monitoring/templates/dashboard-resourcemap.yaml`, `packages/extra/monitoring/templates/workloadmonitors.yaml`, `packages/extra/monitoring/tests/workloadmonitors_traces_test.yaml`	The chart conditionally adds the `otel-traces` WorkloadMonitor and dashboard Role resource name when the collector is enabled and storage is configured. The dashboard Role name is corrected from `alermanager` to `alertmanager`. Tests cover these conditions and fields.

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in packages/extra/monitoring/templates/dashboard-resourcemap.yaml: The permitted workload monitor name changes from alermanager to alertmanager.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/extra/monitoring/templates/dashboard-resourcemap.yaml: The Role conditionally adds otel-traces when .Values.tracingCollector.enabled is true and .Values.tracingStorages is nonempty.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/extra/monitoring/templates/workloadmonitors.yaml: Adds a conditional otel-traces WorkloadMonitor, rendered only when the tracing collector is enabled and at least one tracing storage is configured. Its expected replicas follow tracingCollector.replicas; it sets a minimum of one replica and selects the OTLP collector by name.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/extra/monitoring/tests/workloadmonitors_traces_test.yaml: Adds Helm tests covering the collector monitor’s expected fields when enabled with a backend, the dashboard Role’s expected resource names, and the absence of the collector resource name when storage is empty or the collector is disabled.

Phase 4 of distributed tracing (design cozystack/community#38, epic #3761): the opt-in shared-central topology where per-tenant collectors export to a single shared VictoriaTraces in tenant-root instead of a per-tenant backend. - collector: tracingCollector.backend=local|central. In central mode it exports over OTLP/HTTP to vtinsert-generic (ExternalName -> tenant-root) and a resource processor stamps tenant=<namespace>, so all tenants share account 0 while staying distinguishable. No local backend/datasource is rendered in central mode (the #3181 empty-list and multi-backend guards become local-only). - tenant NetworkPolicy: a narrow CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy scoped to the otel-traces collector pods only, allowing egress to the ancestor vtinsert (mirrors the vminsert egress block but endpoint-scoped, so no other tenant workload gains the cross-boundary hop). Non-root tenants only. - cozystack-basics: vtinsert-generic ExternalName in cozy-monitoring -> tenant-root (mirrors vlinsert-generic), gated on monitoring-enabled. - backend enum in the schema; helm-unittest for central export + tenant stamp, central-mode local-backend/datasource skip, and the collector-scoped egress rule; regenerated schema/README/ApplicationDefinition. Read-side isolation on the shared backend (vmauth) is deferred future work per the design. Stacks on the phase-2 collector PR #3763. Signed-off-by: Alexey Artamonov <[email protected]>

Verdict

NOT LGTM (request changes): one MAJOR robustness fix plus three MINOR items. None of this is an upgrade regression. The whole feature is off by default (tracingStorages: []), every rendered object is new, and phase-1 (#3762) is unreleased, so no existing install changes on upgrade. The blocker is a one-token hardening fix on a field the chart itself calls the PII/secret control point.

Findings

[MAJOR] redactAttributes keys are emitted unquoted — see the inline comment on collector.yaml:51. Short version: - key: {{ . }} on a free-form []string with no schema pattern either crashloops the collector on a key with YAML structural characters or silently fails to redact a key that YAML re-types, on the field the chart itself documents as the PII/secret control point. One-token fix: - key: {{ . | quote }} plus a test.

[MINOR] packages/extra/monitoring/values.schema.json — no minimum on tracingCollector.replicas

samplingPercentage got minimum: 0 / maximum: 100, but replicas is a bare integer. replicas: -1 passes schema validation and is only caught by the API server at apply time, which fails the whole monitoring HelmRelease with a low-level error instead of a clean validation message. Add minimum: 0 (or minimum: 1 if a zeroed collector shouldn't be expressible) to keep it symmetric with the sampling bound.

[MINOR] PR description is missing the release-note block

.github/pull_request_template.md carries a ### Release note section with a ```release-note fenced block. The PR body has What / Changes / Verification / Scope but no release note. Add one, for example a user-facing line that a per-tenant OTLP collector is now deployed once a traces backend is configured.

[MINOR] otel-traces Deployment has no WorkloadMonitor and is absent from the resource map

Every other workload this chart ships is enumerated in packages/extra/monitoring/templates/workloadmonitors.yaml (grafana, alerta, alertmanager, all vm*/vl* components) and in dashboard-resourcemap.yaml. The new collector Deployment is in neither. This gap already exists for the vt* backend components from the phase-1 PR, so the change is consistent with its sibling rather than newly wrong, but it widens the hole in tenant workload accounting instead of closing it. Either wire it here or track it explicitly for the tracing epic.

Verified, non-blocking

Both mechanical flags are cleared. reconcile-amplifier-checksum is a false positive: it pointed at grafana/secret.yaml's randAlphaNum, which isn't in this diff, and the collector's checksum/config hashes include "monitoring.tracingCollectorConfig", which sources only deterministic values, so there's no per-reconcile pod churn. template-comment-bloat also doesn't apply: the 26-line header is a {{- /* … */ -}} Go-template comment that's stripped at render (the rendered ConfigMap contains none of it), unlike a # YAML comment. It's long prose, but it documents genuinely non-obvious design decisions, so it's fine as-is.

Trust boundary holds and the comment is accurate rather than aspirational. packages/apps/tenant/templates/networkpolicy.yaml ships a CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy <tenant>-ingress that restricts namespace ingress to kube-apiserver, cozystack system namespaces, kube-system, and ancestor tenants, so a sibling tenant is denied and the unauthenticated ClusterIP OTLP receiver is no more exposed than the existing per-tenant vmagent/grafana in the same namespace. One pre-existing caveat, not introduced here: on a non-Cilium variant these CRs are inert, but that's a property of the whole tenant model.

memory_limiter limit_percentage: 80 reads the container cgroup limit, and the default always sets resources.limits.memory: 1Gi. A partial resources override still deep-merges the default limits, so the soft limit stays 80% of 1Gi. The only way to defeat it is to explicitly null resources.limits.memory, which is a deliberate action.

The single-backend fail guard with enabled: true by default means a tenant who adds a second tracingStorages entry to a working config fails the whole monitoring render until they drop a backend or disable the collector. This ships together with the backend (unreleased), so it's a first-exposure constraint with a clear error message, not an upgrade regression. The UX cliff is real once released though, and worth a doc line.

Cross-checked and correct: ternary order (single→vtsingle:10428, cluster→vtinsert:10481); the 10428/10471/10481 ports and vtsingle-/vtselect-/vtinsert- names match grafana-datasource.yaml and vpa.yaml; mode defaults to "cluster" identically in collector.yaml:30 and vtraces.yaml:15; the health_check extension serves / so both probes on 13133 are wired right; the Service selector matches the pod labels; the image is digest-pinned via cozy-lib.image with the tag matching contrib 0.136.0, present in the system values and deliberately absent from the tenant schema. helm unittest passes 17/17 on the collector suite and 83/83 on the chart.

Recommended follow-up

End-to-end (cozystack-pr-test): configure a tracingStorages entry, send OTLP to otel-traces:4318, and confirm spans are queryable in the VictoriaTraces backend. This is the one thing a static review can't close: the endpoint host/port is only render-verified, not confirmed against a live backend.

[MAJOR] redactAttributes keys are emitted unquoted

[MAJOR] redactAttributes keys are emitted unquoted.

- key: {{ . }} renders straight into the collector's inline config.yaml. redactAttributes is a free-form []string with no schema pattern, so the template has to survive any string the schema admits, and it doesn't:

A key with YAML structural characters breaks the config. redactAttributes: ["foo: bar"] renders - key: foo: bar, which is invalid YAML. Helm renders it, the ConfigMap applies clean, and the collector then crashloops on a config it was handed by a valid input, taking trace ingest down for the whole tenant with nothing flagged at render time.

A key that YAML re-types ("true", "123", "null") reaches the collector as a bool/int/nil instead of the string the operator wrote, so the attribute they asked to drop is silently not dropped. On a field documented as the PII/secret control point, the silent no-op redaction is the worse path.

A normal span-attribute key (db.statement, http.url) is a dotted identifier that YAML keeps as a string and renders fine, so this bites a malformed key rather than everyday config, and it fails legibly (pod not Ready, parse error in the log). That's why it's MAJOR and not CRITICAL. Fix is one token:

- key: {{ . | quote }}

Add a test that feeds a colon/dotted key and asserts the rendered line is quoted.

Verdict

LGTM

Round 2. Every finding from the previous round is fixed at root cause and pinned by a test, and two of them the author took further than the ask. The one red check (in-tree E2E) is not reachable from this PR's changes: see the note at the end.

Round-1 findings, all resolved

MAJOR, redactAttributes keys emitted unquoted (collector.yaml:51). Fixed with - key: {{ . | quote }}, and the author went one step further: an empty key (the schema admits "", no minLength) is now filtered out before render, so an all-empty list emits no attributes/redact processor at all rather than one with empty actions. Three new test cases pin it, including the re-typed-key case (- key: "123" stays quoted) and the empty-key drop.
MINOR, no minimum on tracingCollector.replicas. Fixed: @minimum 1 added, schema regenerated.
MINOR, missing release-note block. Fixed: the PR body now carries a substantive release note.
MINOR, otel-traces had no WorkloadMonitor and was absent from the resource map. Fixed: the new WorkloadMonitor renders under the same gate as the collector (tracingCollector.enabled and a non-empty tracingStorages), so no phantom monitor for an absent workload, and it is added to the dashboard-resourcemap Role under the same gate. While here the author also fixed a pre-existing typo in that Role, alermanager to alertmanager, which had been hiding the alertmanager WorkloadMonitor from the resource map.

Verified

helm unittest: collector suite 20/20, workloadmonitors_traces 4/4, both green.
Every behaviour-asserting comment the fixes added is backed by a test (the quote rationale, the empty-key filter, the "no processor when all keys empty" branch).

Non-blocking

The per-commit subjects (Address review: ...) trip the commit-subject and vocabulary lint, but they are review-churn commits that squash away at merge, so they do not reach the final history. Cosmetic.
The two template-comment-bloat flags are on helmrelease.yaml and grafana-datasource.yaml, which are phase-1 files unchanged in this round; both are {{- /* … */ -}} Go-template comments that are stripped at render.

The red E2E is not from this PR

The in-tree E2E on head failed at "Configure Tenant and wait for applications", timing out on grafana-deployment. Two independent signals put the cause outside this change:

The default E2E configures no tracingStorages, so the collector, its WorkloadMonitor, and the otel-traces resource-map entry all gate off and render zero objects. The only unconditional change this PR makes to a rendered object is the alermanager to alertmanager Role typo fix, which cannot stall a Deployment rollout.
The failure trace terminates in tenant-root etcd bootstrap (bootstrap is not available yet, discovery failed, cannot fetch cluster info from peer urls), with grafana-deployment timing out as a downstream symptom. That is the cluster-bootstrap layer, upstream of the monitoring chart.

Recommend re-running the E2E before merge to clear the check; it is not a defect in this PR.

Note for merge: this PR is still stacked on feat/monitoring-tracing-backend, so it should land after phase-1, and GitHub will retarget it to main once that merges.

The base branch was changed.

Update the tracing enablement description.

tracingStorages: [] keeps tracing off because the collector renders only when tracingStorages is nonempty. The collector is enabled by default. Add an entry to provision a VictoriaTraces backend and render the collector.

Synchronize README.md, the ApplicationDefinition, and values.schema.json. Run make generate in packages/extra/monitoring; do not edit the generated files manually.

Applications need one in-namespace OTLP endpoint that also enforces sampling and redaction before spans reach the VictoriaTraces backend. No OpenTelemetry operator ships with the platform, so the collector is a plain Deployment, ConfigMap and Service ('otel-traces', gRPC 4317, HTTP 4318) in the tenant namespace; app-to-collector traffic therefore never leaves the tenant, and isolation comes from the existing tenant network policies. The collector renders only when it is enabled and a tracingStorages backend is configured. Tracing is off by default, and an empty backend list is a clean off-state rather than a render failure; an app exporter that finds no Service simply retries. It writes to the first backend only and rejects a list with several, instead of silently dropping spans for the others. redactAttributes is the PII and secret control point, so its keys are rendered quoted and empty keys are dropped: an unquoted key with YAML structural characters, or an empty one, makes the collector fail at startup, and a key YAML re-types (numbers, booleans, null) silently escapes redaction. replicas has a lower bound of 1 so a bad value fails schema validation instead of the whole release at apply time; a zeroed collector is expressed with enabled: false. The collector gets a WorkloadMonitor and a dashboard-resources Role entry under the same render gate, so it is part of tenant workload accounting like every other workload in the chart. Signed-off-by: Alexey Artamonov <[email protected]>

The Role listed the WorkloadMonitor as 'alermanager', so the real 'alertmanager' monitor was never granted: a tenant dashboard is forbidden from reading its status and the alertmanager health tile breaks. The test pins the correct name and the absence of the typo. Signed-off-by: Alexey Artamonov <[email protected]>

Thanks for the round-2 LGTM. It was dismissed automatically when #3762 merged and GitHub retargeted this PR to main. Since then the branch has been rebased onto main, and the six commits are squashed into two with conventional subjects, which covers the non-blocking commit-subject note. The code is the same as the head you reviewed, apart from two doc-only lines in packages/extra/monitoring/values.yaml: tracingCollector.enabled now states that the collector fronts a single backend, and the tracingStorages description no longer claims nothing writes spans until the collector ships (CodeRabbit flagged the same line). Could you take another look and re-approve?

## What this PR does A tenant that runs its own monitoring stack gets a VictoriaLogs instance, but the node fluent-bit in `cozy-monitoring` sends every container log to `global.target` (`tenant-root`), so that instance stays empty. This PR routes each namespace's container logs to the VictoriaLogs named by its `namespace.cozystack.io/monitoring` label, the label the tenant chart already sets and the per-tenant vmagent already selects on. **Chart (`packages/system/monitoring-agents`).** `templates/_tenant-log-routes.tpl` looks up the namespaces and keeps those whose label is set and names a tenant other than `global.target`. For those, fluent-bit gets one `rewrite_tag` filter with a `Rule` per target (a single emitter however many tenants are routed), one `http` output per target to `vlinsert-generic.<target>.svc:9481`, and a per-target `modify Set tenant <target>`, because the re-tagged record re-enters the filter chain where the `Match *` `Add tenant` cannot overwrite the key. Unlabelled namespaces, empty labels and labels equal to `global.target` stay on the default outputs. **Controller (`internal/controller/tenantlogrouting`).** `lookup` results are not part of the digest helm-controller compares, so the chart alone would not pick up a tenant that turns monitoring on, or drop one that is removed, until an unrelated upgrade. The new reconciler in cozystack-controller digests the monitoring label across all namespaces and, when the digest moves, sets `reconcile.fluxcd.io/requestedAt` and `reconcile.fluxcd.io/forceAt` on `cozy-monitoring/monitoring-agents`, which forces an upgrade and re-runs the lookup. It digests every labelled namespace rather than repeating the chart's selection, so it cannot drift from the chart; the cost is an occasional upgrade that renders the same config. The digest it acted on is kept in its own annotation, so a manual `flux reconcile` does not make it force another upgrade. The existing ClusterRole already grants the verbs it needs. **Behaviour change for the platform operator.** Routed records are re-tagged with `keep false`: once a tenant runs its own monitoring, its namespaces' container logs go to that tenant's VictoriaLogs and no longer to the root one. Events and audit logs are not routed and stay on the root store. **Why not a per-tenant collector.** An earlier comment on this PR proposed a fluent-bit per tenant, following the per-tenant vmagent and the OTLP collector from #3763. That collector receives OTLP over the network; a log collector has to tail `/var/log` through `hostPath`, which the PodSecurity level of tenant namespaces rejects, and running it in a privileged system namespace instead would mean one DaemonSet per tenant tailing every node's logs. The routing therefore stays in the one node DaemonSet, with the reconciler closing the reconcile gap. Tests: `tests/fluent-bit_tenant_log_routing_test.yaml` mocks the namespaces with `kubernetesProvider` and pins which get a rule and an output, which are skipped (unlabelled, empty label, label equal to `global.target`), and that a routed record carries the target tenant. Three of its cases fail against the previous revision of this branch. `tests/fluent-bit_tenant_log_routing_offline_test.yaml` pins that an offline render routes nothing. `internal/controller/tenantlogrouting/reconciler_test.go` covers first sight, no-op while labels are unchanged (including after a manual reconcile), a tenant turning monitoring on, a routed namespace being deleted, and a missing release. Refs #2194 ### Screenshots  ### Downstream repositories  No entry of the trigger map matches the diff: it touches `packages/system/monitoring-agents` (values, a template helper, tests), a new reconciler in `internal/controller`, its registration in `cmd/cozystack-controller`, and a comment in the cozystack-controller ClusterRole. The one open question is `cozystack/website`: `content/en/docs/next/operations/services/monitoring/logs.md` describes log collection in general terms and does not say where a tenant's container logs land, so the behaviour change above could deserve a sentence there.
