Resolves #35799
Some recent changes in the stack monitoring parity tests and the way we collect usage data within monitoring reintroduced the fact that we currently have a fair amount of nondeterminism in the way our bulk uploader and
/api/statsendpoint fetch data from collectors. It's true that some collectors, notably the maps, visualizations, and reporting usage collectors as well as the ops stats collector, are not ready to report their data synchronously, but rather, need to wait for some async processes to finish before they are ready.Historically, this has not been a problem because on the next collection interval tick, we'd just try and collect from those usage collectors again and eventually we'd get the data. However, recent changes to our collector code are now ensuring we only collect from usage collectors once a day (it happens with the very first call to collect), instead of at the default monitoring collection interval. Because of this, we ran into a scenario where our parity tests fail because the very first internally collected monitoring document is fairly bare (see #35799) which is the result of certain collectors not being ready to report yet, and the bulk uploader or
/api/statsendpoint having no idea this is the case.This PR fixes this. It requires that every collector (usage or stats) implements a custom async
isReady()function that returns true or false. If any known collector is not ready, the bulk uploader will not send its payload to ES, and the/api/statsendpoint will return a 503. To avoid conflicts with the recent changes with usage collection, if any collector is not ready when we try and collect, we effectively reset the flag to once again try and fetch from usage collectors. This shouldn't affect the performance benefits introduced by #34609 because theisReady()check will not actually invoke the fetching of usage collectors.It's important to note that it was a conscious decision to introduce extra friction by requiring each collector implement it's own
isReady()function. Every owner needs to really think about if it needs to implement this function with custom logic, or just return true.For this PR, I have updated each collector and implemented custom logic in the few we identified as needing it, but I also need each owner of the other collectors to weigh in if we need to apply custom logic or not. Hopefully, the team tagging feature in Github will properly identify all owners, but I will do a pass to ensure everyone is notified here.
Testing
The easiest way to test this is to ensure that no
.monitoring-kibana-7-*documents are lacking the fields noted in #35799, but most of the effort will be isolated to each owners specific usage data and ensuring it's in each and every.monitoring-kibana-7-*document. This isn't meant to be time consuming, as it should only really affect the few first documents indexed once Kibana starts, but feel free to be as complete as you feel necessary.Questions/Concerns
not readystate - we should probably have a way out of this situationSuggested Reviewers
To all suggested reviewers, if able, please verify that no special logic is necessary for your collector to be ready to collect the necessary data. Also, ensure that the collector is registered ASAP to avoid any timing issues where the first usage collection doesn't include your usage collector since it wasn't registered yet due to async code happening beforehand (this was true with the reporting code @tsullivan)
