fix(grpc-proxy): classify NATS connection failures - #1016
Conversation
Add disconnect and classified failure metrics while preserving the existing unlabeled NATS error counter contract. Tests use github.com/kylelemons/godebug v1.1.0 transitively through Prometheus testutil. The dependency is Apache-2.0 and is already represented in NOTICE. Signed-off-by: Bora Oztekin <boztekin@nvidia.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe gRPC proxy now classifies NATS errors and exposes Prometheus counters for failures by reason and disconnect events. Tests cover classification and metric updates. Documentation adds metric descriptions and alert queries. ChangesNATS observability
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change adds classified NATS failure metrics while preserving the existing metric contract. New failure logs omit server and cluster context, which may make diagnosing multi-connection issues harder; the PR is mergeable with owner awareness or a follow-up to add that context.

Add NATS connection context to failure logs.
The callbacks discard conn. The new warning logs cannot identify the affected NATS server or cluster. Pass conn to the helpers and add the existing server and cluster fields to disconnect and failure logs.
As per path instructions, check structured logging with required context fields (request/function/cluster/org id).

TL;DR
Add NATS disconnect and classified failure metrics so operators can distinguish TLS, authentication, timeout, and connection failures.
The existing unlabeled
nvcf_grpc_proxy_service_nats_error_totalmetric remains compatible.Additional Details
This change:
nvcf_grpc_proxy_service_nats_disconnect_total.nvcf_grpc_proxy_service_nats_failure_total{reason}.ReconnectErrHandler.nats_error_totalschema and semantics.Initial connection failures still occur before the metrics endpoint is available and remain visible through startup logs and Kubernetes workload state.
Tests use
github.com/kylelemons/godebug v1.1.0transitively through Prometheustestutil. It uses Apache-2.0 and is already represented inNOTICE.For the Reviewer
Please review the failure classification and preservation of the existing metric contract.
Testing
go test -count=1 ./proxy/invocation ./proxy/metrics go vet ./proxy/invocation ./proxy/metrics git diff --checkAll checks pass.
