What

  • Replace HyperDX trace export with configurable OTLP HTTP export for VictoriaTraces.
  • Link preview deployments to their GitHub Actions logs.

Why

  • Make solver round and order diagnostics queryable in Rain Grafana.

How

  • Use standard OTLP endpoint settings and flush queued spans on shutdown.
  • Remove the HyperDX trace endpoint and API key usage.
  • Document the Base solver endpoint and rollout steps in VictoriaTraces.md.

Testing

  • Type check, build, lint, and full unit suite pass (1,088 tests).
  • New HTTP tests cover gzip, endpoint precedence, span relationships, diagnostics, and shutdown flushing.

Anything else

  • Set an OTLP endpoint for remote tracing; otherwise spans print to the console.
  • Apply rain.devops#57 before rolling out the new image and environment.
  • This migrates traces. It does not forward Docker stdout to VictoriaLogs or add alert rules.
  • Production rollout and obsolete secret cleanup remain pending.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for configuring trace exports through OTLP HTTP endpoints.
    • Tracing now supports endpoint precedence, authentication guidance, console fallback, and Grafana verification.
    • Added VictoriaTraces setup and troubleshooting documentation.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Deployment status links now open the corresponding GitHub Actions run.
    • Deployment results now report the actual outcome, including failures.
  • Documentation

    • Updated debugging instructions and environment variable examples for the new tracing configuration.

Walkthrough

The logger now exports traces through configured OTLP endpoints and flushes through the tracer provider. HyperDX configuration is removed from deployment and environment files. Documentation describes VictoriaTraces setup, verification, and debugging.

Changes

OTLP tracing migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
OTLP exporter and flush flow
src/logger/index.ts, src/logger/otlp.test.ts
RainSolverLogger selects trace-specific or generic OTLP endpoints, stores the tracer provider, and flushes spans during shutdown. Tests verify compressed trace requests and span metadata.
Tracing configuration and operations
example.env, README.md, VictoriaTraces.md, DiagOrder.md
Configuration and documentation now describe OTLP endpoints, console fallback, credentials, VictoriaTraces deployment, Grafana verification, and trace-based debugging.
Preview deployment status reporting
.github/workflows/deploy-preview.yml
The workflow removes HyperDX configuration and timestamp links. Deployment status now uses the actual job status and GitHub Actions run URL.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0eabd

Authenticated OTLP deployments may expose credentials over cleartext HTTP. This should be prevented before merge while retaining credential-free HTTP support for VictoriaTraces.

OpenTelemetry JavaScript exporter-trace-otlp-http 0.49.1 OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_HEADERS HTTP endpoint source

💡 Result:

In OpenTelemetry, header configuration for the OTLP exporter is managed via standardized environment variables [1][2][3]. The variables OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS and OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_HEADERS are used to specify key-value pairs for HTTP or gRPC requests [1][2]. Key details regarding these variables include: 1. Precedence: Signal-specific environment variables (e.g., OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_HEADERS) take precedence over the generic, global variable (OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS) [4]. 2. Format: Both variables expect a list of key-value pairs formatted as a W3C Baggage-compliant string (e.g., key1=value1,key2=value2) [2][3][4]. Semi-colon delimited metadata is not supported [2][3]. 3. JavaScript Implementation Context: For the @opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http package (version 0.49.1), custom headers can also be configured programmatically via the headers option in the collectorOptions object when instantiating the OTLPTraceExporter [5][6][7]. Note that there have been historical discussions and issues within the OpenTelemetry JavaScript SDK regarding the consistent adherence of all exporters to these standardized environment variables [8]. Users should ensure their specific SDK version and exporter implementation align with the latest OpenTelemetry configuration specifications [1][3].

Do not send configured OTLP headers over an unencrypted endpoint.

The OTLP exporter reads standard header environment variables, which can contain authorization tokens or API keys. Reject non-HTTPS endpoints when either header setting is nonempty. Keep the documented credential-free VictoriaTraces HTTP endpoint usable.
