Description

resource_processed_total, resource_first_status_latency_seconds, and resource_status_event_processing_latency_seconds were labeled with the resource id. Since id is unique per resource and Maestro is designed to scale to a lot of resources, this creates one time series per resource, growing without bound as resources come and go.

This PR drops id from all three metrics, keeping action, consumer, source, and server_instance_id.

The two histograms were, per-resource, always a single observation — not a distribution. Without id, observations for the same consumer/source accumulate into one histogram, so histogram_quantile() now gives real p50/p95/p99 latency — actually alertable. Per-resource latency was never queryable at that granularity anyway; it belongs in logs (already logged at each call site).

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)
  • CI/CD or tooling change

Testing

  • Unit tests pass (make test)
  • Integration tests pass (if applicable)
  • Manual verification completed

Checklist

  • My code follows the project's coding conventions
  • I have updated documentation as needed
  • I have added tests that prove my fix/feature works
  • All new and existing tests pass

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved resource-processing metrics by removing resource ID labels.
    • Updated latency metrics to use consumer and source labels for clearer aggregation.
    • Maintained existing event processing behavior while improving metric consistency.

Warning

Review limit reached

@geoberle, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 36 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

Resource metrics no longer include resource IDs in labels or recording APIs. Event processing uses the updated signatures. Integration tests find histogram samples by consumer and source labels.

Changes

Resource metrics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metric label and recording contracts
pkg/services/resource.go
Counters and latency histograms remove resource ID labels. Recording functions now accept only the remaining metric dimensions.
Metric callers and integration validation
cmd/maestro/server/event_server.go, test/integration/resource_test.go
Event processing uses the updated metric calls. Integration tests use consumer/source histogram lookup and validate observations without resource ID labels.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c164d

The PR removes the per-resource metric label as intended; one localized test assertion should verify server_instance_id, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Comment thread test/integration/resource_test.go Outdated
resource_processed_total, resource_first_status_latency_seconds, and
resource_status_event_processing_latency_seconds were labeled with the
resource id. Since id is unique per resource and Maestro scales to a
lot of resources, this creates one time series per resource, growing
without bound as resources come and go.

Drop id from all three metrics, keeping action, consumer, source, and
server_instance_id. The histograms were, per-resource, always a single
observation, not a distribution; without id, observations for the
same consumer/source accumulate into one histogram, so
histogram_quantile() gives real percentile latency. Per-resource
latency was never queryable at that granularity anyway; it belongs in
logs, already logged at each call site.
