Update boot_time_bsd.go#2eranco74 wants to merge 1 commit intoromfreiman:masterfrom eranco74:patch-1
Conversation
WalkthroughThe pull request introduces a modification to the boot time calculation in the BSD boot time collector. The change primarily affects how the boot time is computed, specifically altering the way microseconds are integrated into the second component of the timestamp. The update also involves a slight modification in how the Prometheus metric descriptor is created, potentially improving the precision of boot time reporting. Changes

Line range hint 53-57: Confirm usage of prometheus.New vs. standard descriptors.
Using prometheus.New(...) is relatively uncommon in the broader Prometheus Go client library. Usually, we call prometheus.NewDesc or a specialized constructor (e.g. prometheus.NewCounterFunc, prometheus.NewGaugeVec) and then create metrics from that descriptor. If prometheus.New is a local wrapper or an experimental API, please confirm that it aligns with your project’s conventions and best practices.

💡 Codebase verification
Based on the code review and the context gathered, I can now provide the final response:
Boot time calculation appears incorrect and needs modification
The current calculation float64(tv.Sec) - (float64(tv.Usec) / float64(100*1000)) is incorrect for converting a timeval to seconds with microsecond precision. The code:
- Divides microseconds by 100,000 instead of 1,000,000 (1e6)
- Subtracts the microseconds portion instead of adding it
This will result in incorrect boot time values. The correct formula should add the microseconds as a fractional part of a second:
- v := float64(tv.Sec) - (float64(tv.Usec) / float64(100*1000))
+ v := float64(tv.Sec) + (float64(tv.Usec) / 1e6)The metric description states "Unix time of last boot, including microseconds", but the current implementation doesn't properly handle the microseconds component.
🔗 Analysis chain
Check microseconds conversion and subtraction logic.
It's unusual to subtract the microseconds portion from the seconds portion when converting a timeval to seconds. Typically, you would add the fractional part (tv.Usec / 1e6) to tv.Sec. Subtracting tv.Usec / 100000 will reduce the accuracy for most use cases and might yield a less intuitive boot time value.
Would you like to confirm if this subtraction is intentional, or should it be:
- v := float64(tv.Sec) - (float64(tv.Usec) / float64(100*1000))
+ v := float64(tv.Sec) + (float64(tv.Usec) / 1e6)Let me gather more context about this code to verify the concern.
Let me search for any related test files or similar implementations in other files to understand the boot time calculation pattern better.
Let me check the Solaris implementation for comparison to understand if this is a platform-specific calculation.
Let me check the git history for this specific line to understand the reasoning behind this calculation.
