Re-use the resource check components added before and provide support for throttling. Set flag P_RESOURCE_CHECK_ENABLED to true (defaults to false)

Middleware added only to ingestion at the moment

Fixes #XXXX.

Description


This PR has:

  • been tested to ensure log ingestion and log query works.
  • added comments explaining the "why" and the intent of the code wherever would not be obvious for an unfamiliar reader.
  • added documentation for new or modified features or behaviors.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changes

    • Resource monitoring now evaluates memory availability using current system or container data.
    • Resource checks can be disabled through configuration and no longer enforce CPU thresholds.
    • Ingestion requests now undergo resource-availability checks before processing.
    • Memory metrics are initialized at startup for more consistent availability reporting.
  • Removed

    • The banner and About response no longer display language-model status or provider information.
    • The CPU utilization threshold command-line option is no longer available.

Re-use the resource check components added before and provide support for throttling.
Set flag `P_RESOURCE_CHECK_ENABLED` to true (defaults to false)

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds total-memory process metrics, records an initial sample at startup, and changes resource checks to use direct memory measurements. It applies resource middleware to ingestion routes, updates query memory checks, removes the CPU threshold option, and removes LLM status output.

Changes

Resource monitoring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Process metrics foundation
src/metrics/mod.rs, src/lib.rs
Process metrics now store CPU, resident memory, and total memory. The accumulator and related getters are public. sysinfo is publicly re-exported.
Startup metric initialization
src/main.rs
Startup refreshes system information and records an initial process sample using cgroup or host total memory.
Resource-check flow and consumers
src/cli.rs, src/handlers/http/resource_check.rs, src/query/mod.rs, src/handlers/http/modal/ingest_server.rs, src/handlers/http/modal/server.rs
Resource checks use direct memory measurements and SERVER_OK. CPU enforcement is removed. Ingestion routes use the middleware. Query memory checks use refreshed system data and cgroup limits when available.

LLM status cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove LLM status output
src/banner.rs, src/handlers/http/about.rs
The banner and about response no longer report LLM activation or provider status.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dc3cd

Server-wide throttling can affect ingestion availability, but unresolved concerns remain around disabled-check behavior, route coverage, CPU-threshold behavior, and startup CPU metrics. Resolve these before merge.

logstream route served by Self::logstream_api(), ensuring POST
/logstream/{logstream} receives the same 503 protection as the POST /ingest
route; use a shared scope or wrap the logstream service directly without
changing unrelated routing.

In `@src/handlers/http/resource_check.rs`:
- Around line 59-61: Update the resource-check setup around
PARSEABLE.options.resource_check_enabled so the middleware is not installed or
executed when resource checks are disabled; preserve normal middleware behavior
when enabled and ensure ingest requests are not rejected with 503 in the
disabled configuration.
- Line 70: Update the memory threshold comparison in the resource-check handler
to divide memory_threshold by 100.0 before comparing with the byte-ratio
memory_usage, and multiply memory_usage by 100.0 in the warning output so it
remains percentage-formatted.

In `@src/metrics/mod.rs`:
- Line 214: Ensure the metrics initialization path runs before any lazy access
to PROCESS_METRICS_ACCUMULATOR, so ProcessMetricsAccumulator::default() cannot
unwrap an unset PROCESS_METRICS_INIT when resource checks or queries occur
before the first sample. Update the surrounding metrics initialization flow
while preserving the existing first-sample values and request behavior.
- Line 248: Update ProcessMetricsAccumulator::get_mem and the admission-check
call paths to use the latest raw process memory sample instead of
memory_bytes_avg, while retaining the EWMA for metrics reporting. Ensure the
resource monitor and enough_available_memory use this raw value for rejection
decisions.

Bypass resource-check middleware when checks are disabled.

When P_RESOURCE_CHECK_ENABLED=false, spawn_resource_monitor skips all writes, so RESOURCE_CHECK_ENABLED remains false. The middleware installed on both ingest factories then returns 503 for every ingest request. Apply the configuration check before installing or running this middleware.

Use the latest raw process memory for admission checks. ProcessMetricsAccumulator::record stores an EWMA in memory_bytes_avg, and get_mem returns it. The resource monitor and enough_available_memory use this value for rejection decisions. With the default 80% query threshold, a rise from 40% to 90% takes 20 five-second samples, or about 100 seconds, for the EWMA to cross the threshold. Keep the EWMA for metrics, but store and use the latest raw memory sample for resource rejection and query admission.

- Around line 72-74: Update Server::configure_routes so
resource_check::check_resource_utilization_middleware wraps all Mode::All ingest
route groups: /ingest, /v1/{logs,metrics,traces}, and POST
/logstream/{logstream}. Preserve the existing 503 behavior when SERVER_OK is
false and ensure each group reaches its ingestion handler only through the
middleware.

In `@src/handlers/http/resource_check.rs`:
- Line 53: Update the monitoring loop in the resource-check handler to evaluate
Options::cpu_utilization_threshold alongside memory usage, ensuring CPU
saturation causes SERVER_OK to become false and throttles ingest requests;
retain the existing CPU option and documentation.

In `@src/query/mod.rs`:
- Around line 175-177: Update the admission check in enough_available_memory to
use a current process-memory value instead of
PROCESS_METRICS_ACCUMULATOR.get_mem(), while retaining the existing cgroup RSS
handling where applicable; keep the threshold comparison and available-memory
behavior unchanged.
