Getting the next page of the activity logs fails with invalid semicolon separator in query

[alxndr13]

Bug Report

• import path of package in question: github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/resourcemanager/monitor/armmonitor
• SDK version: latest (github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/resourcemanager/monitor/armmonitor v0.11.0)
• output of go version:

go version go1.22.0 linux/amd64

• What happened?

When fetching the activity logs in some subscriptions, the code errors out with the following message:

invalid semicolon separator in query

Our code (minimized) looks like this:

        query := fmt.Sprintf("eventTimestamp ge '%s' and eventTimestamp le '%s'", startTime.Format(time.RFC3339Nano), endTime.Format(time.RFC3339Nano))
	pager := clientFactory.NewActivityLogsClient().NewListPager(query, nil)
	for pager.More() {
		page, err := pager.NextPage(ctx)
		if err != nil {
			return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to advance page: %w", err) << this is where it fails
		}
       }

• What did you expect or want to happen?

Get the logs, as in other subs.

• How can we reproduce it?

idk, check if you can fetch activity logs on all subs.

Additional info

a screenshot from debugging:

A similar error happens when using a semicolon in a query, see: golang/go#50034

my guess is: the content of the *NextLink can't be parsed in some / all cases.

[jhendrixMSFT]

I suspect you're correct. Would you mind enabling logging and paste the value of NextLink?

i got the link from debugging with delve:

it seems like a new issue arose yesterday: the data model changed yesterday at around 10 pm CET.

Instead of the semicolon error, the lib now can't unmarshal the data in the response.

unmarshalling type *armmonitor.EventDataCollection: unmarshalling type *armmonitor.EventDataCollection: struct field Value: unmarshalling type *armmonitor.EventData: struct field Level: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go value of type armmonitor.EventLevel

Will update this comment, once I found out more.

UPDATE:

In constants.go the EventLevel is defined as a string and has some consts defined:

// EventLevel - the event level
type EventLevel string

const (
	EventLevelCritical      EventLevel = "Critical"
	EventLevelError         EventLevel = "Error"
	EventLevelInformational EventLevel = "Informational"
	EventLevelVerbose       EventLevel = "Verbose"
	EventLevelWarning       EventLevel = "Warning"
)

seems like the API returns a number instead of one of the expected strings.

I am also getting the same error as of yesterday.

unmarshalling type *armmonitor.EventDataCollection: unmarshalling type *armmonitor.EventDataCollection: struct field Value: unmarshalling type *armmonitor.EventData: struct field Level: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go value of type armmonitor.EventLevel

Edit: Seems like a high severity breakage. I have production applications that rely on being able to consume and process monitor events for customers.

[jeun-kim]

I found the same issue. When will it be fixed?

[Alancere]

The response is "4" and cannot be unmarshal to EventLevel

Thanks for the feedback! We are routing this to the appropriate team for follow-up. cc @ArcturusZhang @AzmonActionG @azmonALERTS @AzMonEssential @AzmonLogA @chlowell @dadunl @gracewilcox @jairmyree @jhendrixMSFT @joshfree @KarishmaGhiya @kurtzeborn @lirenhe @nisha-bhatia @pvaneck @sameergMS @sarangan12 @scottaddie @srnagar @tadelesh.

[alxndr13]

any updates on this one?

we also have apps that rely on this functionality. this is production-critical for us.

[raych1]

@alxndr13 , if this issue has arisen recently, could you please create a support ticket in the Azure portal? This will help you receive prompt assistance.

Why should I open up a ticket in the Azure Portal for this? This is something that can either be fixed in the API or this SDK. (which this repo is for)

[alxndr13]

i fixed the issue with the eventlevel in my azure-sdk-for-go fork here: https://github.com/alxndr13/azure-sdk-for-go

no guarantee that I properly matched the levels to the corresponding integers. I use this now until this is fixed here.

can be used in your go program using this entry in the go.mod file:

replace github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/resourcemanager/monitor/armmonitor => github.com/alxndr13/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/resourcemanager/monitor/armmonitor v0.0.0-20240226093305-b58ccfd438c1

@jhendrixMSFT with my fork now the semicolon error doesn't occur anymore, at least i can't reproduce it at the moment. Did you guys change anything?

EDIT: nevermind, issue still persists.

[jhendrixMSFT]

The service shouldn't be returning EventLevel by its ordinal value. We're following up on this.

For the semicolons in the query params, we'll have this fixed in azcore@v1.10.0 which will be released soon.

[jhendrixMSFT]

Keeping open while we follow up on the unmarshaling issue.

[osalzberg]

Hi, Thank you for letting us know.
I will check the issue and update you as soon as possible.

[osalzberg]

a fix should be deployed in the next 1-2 days

[alxndr13]

a fix should be deployed in the next 1-2 days

thanks for the update.

[srivatsan-nallazhagappan-sp]

Curious to know if the fix is going to be on the server end. Or should the client end be using the upgraded version once the fix is available?

Note: We are using github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/resourcemanager/monitor/armmonitor v0.8.0, and this issue started surfacing since Feb 21st on our end.

[osalzberg]

The fix is deployed world-wide, please let us know if there are any issues.

This issue can be marked as resolved.

[CyrusJavan]

@osalzberg Just got the error again at 2024-02-29T18:19:45 UTC

2024-02-29T18:19:45.265670919Z	error	azure/azure_resource_event.go:111	error retrieving events	{"failed_time": "2024-02-29T18:19:45Z", "error": "unmarshalling type *armmonitor.EventDataCollection: unmarshalling type *armmonitor.EventData: struct field Level: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go value of type armmonitor.EventLevel"}

Is there some propagation delay in deploying the fix?

Update:

Still receiving the same error as of 2024-03-01T20:12:11 UTC.

[jhendrixMSFT]

azcore@v1.10.0 has been released which includes the fix for semicolons in query params.

[CyrusJavan]

@osalzberg The issue still persists. When will this be resolved?

[osalzberg]

what region are you in? can you share some more details? the fix was deployed world wide. please send me an email and ill try to assist. orens@microsoft.com

[alxndr13]

@osalzberg @jhendrixMSFT can confirm it works again.

Thanks a lot.

[osalzberg]

Glad to hear it works. if there are any issues, please ping me or open a ticket.

[osalzberg]

I can confirm that there was an issue with "unselected" columns. While we are working on a fix, you could remedy the situation by explicitly specifying "level" as a selected column in your "selectColumns" variable. (you might get a similar error for the "channels" field, you can also resolve it the same way)

[CyrusJavan]

Can confirm this workaround works successfully in my use case. Thanks a lot @osalzberg !

[jhendrixMSFT]

@osalzberg have the issues with unselected and channels been resolved?

[osalzberg]

yes. are you experiencing any issues? if so, please open a ticket and let the CSS know you were talking to me (product group)

[jhendrixMSFT]

No issues. Closing this then as things should be resolved.
