feat(obs): OTLP trace foundation — stable IDs, W3C traceparent, span hierarchy - #996
Merged
Conversation
…ngestion, span hierarchy
Umbrella AISIX-Cloud#1279 PR-1. The OTLP export previously minted random
trace/span ids inside the retried encoder (N distinct spans per delivery
retry), emitted every span as its own root joined only by
aisix.request_id, and placed spans off whole-second occurred_at stamps
(±1s absolute error).
- aisix-obs/trace: RequestTraceBundle minted once per request in
ensure_request_id, beside the request id. Random 16/8-byte ids stored
at mint; TraceClock (wall base + monotonic offsets) stamps nanosecond
boundaries at the real dispatch chokepoints
(RoutingTelemetry::begin_attempt/record).
- Strict W3C traceparent ingestion (v00 exact, lowercase hex, nonzero
ids, single header); invalid → local root, tracestate discarded with
it. The FNV-1a request-id sampler stays authoritative — inbound
sampled=1 cannot override sample_rate=0.
- build_otlp_spans emits SERVER → logical GenAI CLIENT → attempt CLIENT
per the GenAI semconv hierarchy; cache hits and pre-dispatch blocks
emit the SERVER span only (no fictitious upstream spans). The event's
full attribute set rides the carrier span, so existing consumers keep
their attributes. Trace-less records keep the legacy flat span.
- TraceEmission snapshots ride SinkRecord (serde-skipped): byte-identical
ids across delivery retries and across exporters.
- Every usage emission funnels through usage_attr::emit_usage — the one
chokepoint that snapshots spans and stamps the new public
UsageEvent::trace_id (the {trace_id} link key for the paired CP work).
- traceparent/tracestate added to the normal pipeline's never-forward
set and passthrough's unconditional strip set: the caller's trace
context no longer leaks to providers (passthrough forwarded it
verbatim before this).
Spec anchors: W3C Trace Context Level 1 (https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context/),
OTel GenAI semconv spans (open-telemetry/semantic-conventions-genai).
Kong and Envoy AI Gateway ship the same 'gateway emits standard OTel,
user brings any backend' shape; neither bundles a backend.
New trace-hierarchy-e2e pins the AISIX-Cloud#1279 PR-1 contract: - one failover request exports one trace — SERVER (kind 2) → logical CLIENT → two attempt children — nanosecond-bracketed, distinct span ids, one trace id; - a valid inbound W3C traceparent re-parents the SERVER span, carries tracestate and the IS_REMOTE flag; malformed variants (version ff, zero trace id, uppercase hex) root locally and drop tracestate; - an inbound sampled=1 cannot override sample_rate: 0 (a rate-1.0 control exporter proves the pipeline ran); - the caller's traceparent/tracestate never reach the provider — on the standard pipeline even under forward_client_headers: ["*"], and on /passthrough/* where unlisted headers are otherwise forwarded; - a 503-then-retry delivery re-sends byte-identical span ids and timestamps (ids frozen at emission, not per encode). The otlp mock harness now captures span structure (ids, parent, kind, flags, traceState, boundaries, post index) and can fail its first N POSTs to drive the delivery retry. Existing specs that select spans by aisix.request_id alone now filter for the attempt carrier (aisix.attempt_index present): the hierarchy's structural SERVER/logical spans share the request id but deliberately carry no per-attempt usage attributes.
…view findings) Adversarial-review fixes on the trace foundation: - Ensemble requests emitted no terminal event: both Success returns set telemetry_handled_by_stream, suppressing the handler's terminal emit, while every panel/judge emission passed terminal=false — so the SERVER/logical spans never shipped and every sub-call span carried a dangling parentSpanId. The judge's event — the ensemble's final emission in both modes — is now the terminal one on the success path (the blocked path keeps its terminal on the outer error arm, which carries the caller's real status). - 'Did this request dispatch upstream' is now an explicit caller-stated fact (emit_usage/emission dispatched flag) instead of being inferred from upstream_latency_ms > 0: cache hits and pre-dispatch errors carry the HANDLER's elapsed time in that field, which the inference misread as an upstream call and fabricated a CLIENT span for a request that contacted no provider. - The inbound trace-flags octet's W3C random bit (0x02) is preserved on the SERVER span's exported flags, matching the field's documentation; the sampled bit stays the exporter's own decision. e2e: ensemble case (one SERVER span, every parentSpanId resolves — the orphan regression), cache-hit SERVER-only case, streamed-request hierarchy, all-failed exact-count hierarchy, /v1/messages + /v1/responses hierarchy parity; the retry byte-identical assertion now covers parentSpanId/kind/end, and the sampling-authority case proves the inbound traceparent was accepted before asserting its silence.

Pull request overview
This PR lays the foundation for high-quality OTLP trace export across the AISIX gateway by introducing request-stable trace/span identities, strict W3C traceparent ingestion, a real span hierarchy (SERVER → logical GenAI CLIENT → attempt CLIENT), and by preventing inbound trace context from leaking to upstream providers (including passthrough routes).
Changes:
- Adds a request-owned trace bundle (
RequestTraceBundle) and threads it through attempt telemetry and usage-event emission so exporters see stable IDs and correct parent/child relationships with nanosecond timestamps. - Centralizes usage-event emission via
usage_attr::emit_usage, stampingUsageEvent::trace_idand snapshotting per-event trace structure intoSinkRecord::tracefor OTLP encoding stability across retries/exporters. - Extends e2e harness + tests to validate hierarchy, sampling authority, leak prevention, and delivery-retry id stability.

Known and deliberate for this PR: the batch-attribution emission has no request-scoped bundle (usage arrives detached from any live request), so it keeps the legacy single-span path. Tracked on the umbrella issue's follow-up list ("trace-less records still mint per-encode ids — resolve once that emission path carries a bundle").

start_attempt, and it is the only branch ofemissionwith no test in this module.The existing tests all reach

…dispatch facts, trace_id pinning
Cold-audit + second-auditor findings, all verified before folding in:
- A failed ensemble (judge error / output block) shipped panel sub-call
spans parented under a logical span the pre-dispatch-shaped terminal
then never exported. The bundle now remembers that a synthesized
sub-call span shipped and the terminal emission exports the children's
parent even when the terminal event itself never dispatched.
- The latency>0 gate on synthesized/no-attempt spans re-opened the same
orphan hole for real sub-millisecond calls (a 0ms local mock dropped a
panel member's span); dispatched is now the only signal, and a 0ms
dispatched call yields a truthful zero-length span.
- Per-site dispatch facts: MCP quota rejections and input-guardrail
blocks, A2A quota rejections, and rate-limit-refused failover attempts
(rec.dispatched) no longer claim upstream contact.
- Trace-bundle locks survive poisoning (emissions run inside Drop
guards, where a poison-propagating panic could abort the process).
- traceparent/tracestate are rejected as request_id accept_headers
sources — adopting them would echo the caller's trace context to the
wire the never-forward guard exists to protect.
- The public UsageEvent::trace_id is now pinned: a unit locks the
flattened wire key, and the Datadog e2e asserts the log's
aisix.trace_id equals the OTLP span traceId for the same request —
the correlation contract the CP {trace_id} template consumes.
- e2e: exact span counts hold through a flush-interval settle window
(negative and count assertions no longer race the zero-rate/duplicate
batch), and the sampling-authority case proves the inbound traceparent
was accepted before trusting the zero exporter's silence.

- Around line 402-416: Update the terminal emission logic around the terminal
state handling and the synthesized SpanEmit creation so synthesis is gated by
the original terminal-request state, not the mutated terminal value after
duplicate detection. Preserve synthesis for originally non-terminal calls,
prevent duplicate terminal emissions without tracked attempts from creating
another CLIENT span, and add a regression test covering that scenario.

…se, canonical id header - tracestate: one unreadable header value discards the whole state instead of joining survivors into a list the caller never sent (the valid traceparent is kept — the spec treats state as refinement). - passthrough Drop emit reuses the snapshot loaded at the top of the function; a config swap between two loads could make the model label disagree with the emit's attribution. - e2e: driveChat reads x-aisix-request-id (canonical) instead of the chat-only x-aisix-call-id; readiness gate consumes the response body.
…upstream span The duplicate-terminal degrade flips terminal to false, which put an untracked-family duplicate straight into the synthesize-a-sub-call branch — inventing a second upstream CLIENT span for a request that dispatched once. Gate synthesis on the ORIGINAL request instead; a duplicate untracked terminal now degrades to an empty emission.

Implements PR-1 of the OTLP trace-export quality umbrella (
AISIX-Cloud#1279): trace foundation — stable IDs, W3Ctraceparentingestion, span hierarchy, nanosecond timestamps, and closing the provider-side trace-context leak.What was broken
build_otlp_spanminted random trace/span ids inside the encoder, which runs inside the sink pipeline's retry loop — a transient 503 re-encoded the batch with fresh ids, so a deduping receiver saw N spans for one attempt.aisix.request_idattribute, which no trace waterfall understands.occurred_atstamp and start fromend - latency; sibling attempts could not be ordered on a timeline.traceparent/tracestatereached providers — viaforward_client_headerson the standard pipeline, and unconditionally on/passthrough/*.What this PR does
RequestTraceBundle(newaisix-obs/src/trace.rs), minted once per request inensure_request_idbeside the request id: trace id, SERVER span id, logical GenAI span id, and aTraceClock(wall base + monotonic offsets). Attempt span ids and nanosecond boundaries are stamped at the existing per-attempt chokepoints (RoutingTelemetry::begin_attempt/record), so a dispatch path cannot record an attempt without its span.traceparentingestion (v00 exact, lowercase hex, nonzero ids, single header; multiple/malformed → local root,tracestatediscarded with it). The FNV-1a request-id sampler stays authoritative: an inboundsampled=1cannot overridesample_rate=0.usage_attr::emit_usage, which freezes aTraceEmissionsnapshot ontoSinkRecord(serde-skipped — Datadog/SLS/object-store wires unchanged) — byte-identical ids across delivery retries and across exporters — and stamps the new publicUsageEvent::trace_id(the{trace_id}link key for the paired control-plane work).traceparent/tracestateadded to the standard pipeline's never-forward set and passthrough's unconditional strip set. Deliberately NOT inRESERVED_UPSTREAM_HEADERS, so an operator's explicitdefault_headersentry for a trusted upstream still works; only the client's copy is blocked. Provider-side propagation, if ever wanted, is a future opt-in injecting the gateway's own context.Design notes (reference-implementation comparison)
Kong and Envoy AI Gateway both ship the "gateway emits standard OTel GenAI telemetry, user brings any OTLP backend" shape; neither bundles an observability platform, and both propagate W3C context as a fresh hop rather than relaying the inbound header to model providers. This PR lands the same posture. Specs: W3C Trace Context Level 1 (§3.2 traceparent grammar, §3.3 tracestate), OTLP/JSON encoding (int64-as-string timestamps, span
flagsbit semantics incl.HAS_IS_REMOTE/IS_REMOTE), OTel GenAI span conventions (logical span covers retries). Divergence: we accept only version 00traceparent(spec permits lenient future-version parsing) — a trust boundary should not attach its telemetry under a context it does not fully understand.Adversarial review (pre-push)

traceparentandtracestateheaders from being forwarded upstream.Compatibility note (OTLP span shape)
This changes the exported OTLP shape from one flat root CLIENT span per usage event to a SERVER → logical CLIENT → attempt CLIENT hierarchy. Anything keyed on "one span per request/attempt" (span-count alerts,
chat.completions-name counts) will see structural spans appear. Discriminators for consumers: the carrier span keeps the full attribute set (aisix.attempt_indexpresent), structural spans carryaisix.request_idonly; SERVER iskind=2. The OTLP export is pre-GA and this hierarchy is the documented target shape of the umbrella issue; distinct per-role span names and the instrumentation-scope version land with PR-3's semconv/descriptor work rather than piecemeal here. A docs page describing the exported shape will accompany the docs follow-up.Post-push audit round 2 (cold agent + independent second auditor)
