Propagate opentracing contexts through EDUs #5852

JorikSchellekens · 2019-08-14T14:13:29Z

Opentracing contexts are included in edu's to facilitate device list tracing.

looks much nicer now that it is split up a bit, but a few comments

+     edu_type: "type"
+     content: {
+       context: {
+         ...opentracing_context


can you flesh this out a little more with an example?

An example of how it's used or what it contains? I can't make an example of the content because that's completely vendor specific and if we ever change to a different tracing solution I don't think anyone will remember to come back and fix this.

what it contains. Isn't a consistent format for this critical to make sure that different servers can pass contexts around? In any case, I think it getting out of date is a risk I'd be prepared to take, especially if we said "EDU format (assuming we are using Jaeger):" above it, or something.

Eh, I see the concern. I'm not going to fill in the values there but I will instruct people to inject directly into context. That makes the most sense for opentracing in general.

I don't think the idea is to let other servers implement their own opentracing and send it to us. I see this as a project to trace what's going on inside synapses we trust. If we want it to be an optional thing that other servers implement maybe it should be spec'd but then our spec depends on opentracing's.

I see this as a project to trace what's going on inside synapses we trust.

sure, but if we change the impl, we (or whoever is running the synapses in question) have to make sure that all those synapses get updated.

Hows that?

perfect.

getting there.

I remain unconvinced about using a general context key: the problem is that it just means nothing to me as a concept, so I'm struggling to envisage what other stuff we might put in there. Perhaps if you have some examples, that might help me understand?

(also: please can you merge develop into your branch, to fix the conflict?)

JorikSchellekens · 2019-08-22T13:38:31Z

The general context key isn't something I have any plans for. It was a change @erikjohnston requested. It was suggested that some metrics for a given context might be put in there as well, I don't really see what else could go in there either but it seemed like it's a good place to put context related information in. There really is no vision for what's going in there other than the fact that it could be useful. If the word context itself is confusing in this.. context.. then it means that data therein links the Edu by some chain of references to an originating event.

erikjohnston · 2019-08-22T14:10:43Z

If people feel strongly about not having a context key, then I'm happy to drop it tbh.

JorikSchellekens · 2019-08-22T14:24:51Z

I'll rename it to opentracing_context

synapse/federation/federation_server.py

-            logger.info("Failed to handle edu %r: %r", edu_type, e)
-        except Exception:
-            logger.exception("Failed to handle edu %r", edu_type)
+        with start_active_span_from_edu(content, "handle_edu"):


AFAICT, this never worked because this PR serializes everything into content["org.matrix.opentracing_context"] but start_active_span_from_edu reads from content["context"]["opentracing"] (even at this point in time in the code to current day).

synapse/synapse/logging/opentracing.py

Line 402 in bbc23cd

carrier = json.loads(edu_content.get("context", "{}")).get("opentracing", {})

AFAICT, this never worked before because everything was serialized into `content["org.matrix.opentracing_context"]` but `start_active_span_from_edu` read from `content["opentracing"]`. See #5852 (comment) Do we even still want this?
