gunnar_core/observe.rs
1//! **What an operator can see**: the `tracing` targets, the request id, and
2//! the server's counters.
3//!
4//! # The measurement this module answers
5//!
6//! 58 `tracing::` call sites in 27182 lines of code, no `span!`, no
7//! `#[instrument]`, no request id, no timing and no counters. Closing the gRPC
8//! audit hole moved the worst of that distribution and none of the total.
9//! At forge scale an operator has minutes to answer *which connection, which
10//! principal, which repository, how long did it take, how many failed, is the
11//! queue growing*. None of it was answerable from gunnar's output at all.
12//!
13//! # One vocabulary, not one per crate
14//!
15//! [`TARGET_AUDIT`] already existed, in `gunnar_grpc::auth`. Everything added
16//! since is a **sibling of it**, defined here once, so `RUST_LOG` selects a
17//! *subsystem* rather than a crate name that happens to hold the call site:
18//!
19//! | target | what is on it |
20//! |---|---|
21//! | [`TARGET_AUDIT`] | control-plane mutations: who called what, and the decision |
22//! | [`TARGET_SSH`] | the connection: accept, publickey, exec dispatch, every refusal |
23//! | [`TARGET_GIT`] | transfers: upload-pack, receive-pack, objects, packs, bytes |
24//! | [`TARGET_POLICY`] | the push gate: which gate refused which reference |
25//! | [`TARGET_STORE`] | ref transactions, compare-and-swap contention, repack |
26//! | [`TARGET_METRICS`] | the counters: the heartbeat, and the scrape endpoint |
27//! | [`TARGET_LFS`] | large-file transfers: the session, its verbs, its refusals |
28//! | [`TARGET_RUNNER`] | the build runner: what it picked up, what it built, its refusals |
29//! | [`TARGET_ARCHIVE`] | archiving a repository off the box and back in |
30//! | [`TARGET_REPLICATION`] | replication to a standby: shipped, lagging, refused |
31//! | [`TARGET_SPACE`] | disk headroom: what a write may take, and the refusals when it is short |
32//! | [`TARGET_REPAIR`] | the repair plane: the boot check, the pull channel, the recharges they run |
33//! | [`TARGET_LIVE`] | the live update: a version staged, the re-exec, the trial and its roll back |
34//! | [`TARGET_ACTIVITY`] | a principal's last sign-in and last operation: a stamp that could not be kept |
35//!
36//! ```text
37//! RUST_LOG=warn,gunnar::audit=info,gunnar::git=info # the two an operator watches
38//! RUST_LOG=gunnar::ssh=debug # one connection, in detail
39//! ```
40//!
41//! `gunnar-grpc` cannot link this crate (it is expressed in `gunnar-proto`
42//! terms and deliberately has no `gunnar-core` edge), so it keeps its own
43//! `AUDIT_TARGET` **string**. That is the one place a constant is stated twice,
44//! and it is not left to a comment: `gunnar-cli` links both crates and
45//! `the_audit_target_is_the_same_string_in_both_crates` asserts they are equal.
46//!
47//! # Levels
48//!
49//! `info` is the production default and must stay legible: one line per
50//! connection authenticated, one per transfer served with its applied outputs,
51//! one per reference moved, and every refusal at `warn`. `debug` is the
52//! diagnostic tier: per-frame detail, environment requests, CAS retries. A
53//! server that has to run at `trace` to be legible has failed.
54//!
55//! # Cost
56//!
57//! [`RequestId`] is a `u64` that formats itself; it never allocates and never
58//! touches a lock. [`ServerMetrics`] is a flat block of [`AtomicU64`] read and
59//! written with [`Ordering::Relaxed`]. **No mutex is taken to record a
60//! counter**, because a signal that costs a lock is paid for by the thing it is
61//! measuring. `tracing`'s macros evaluate their field expressions only inside
62//! the `enabled!` branch, so a line that will not be emitted allocates nothing
63//! even where the field is a `String`.

91
92/// Large-file transfers: the LFS session, its verbs, and every refusal.
93///
94/// Added 2026-08-05, and it did not replace nothing. `gunnar-lfs` was emitting
95/// on **`"gunnar.lfs"`** — a dot, not a `::` — at five call sites, and
96/// the old znippy engine crate, `gunnar-cli`'s znippy-engine arm and `gunnar-znippy` were
97/// emitting on `"gunnar.store"` at twelve more. `RUST_LOG=gunnar::lfs=debug`
98/// selected none of them; neither did `gunnar::store=info`, which this
99/// module's own table tells an operator to use. Seventeen lines that could be
100/// written and never read.
101///
102/// That is exactly the failure [`TARGETS`] was written to prevent, and
103/// [`TARGETS`] could not see it: it checked the constants in its own list and
104/// no call site ever passes through it. The guard that can is
105/// `every_tracing_target_in_the_shipped_source_is_one_of_ours` in `gunnar-cli`'s

109/// The build runner: what it picked up, what it built, and every refusal.
110///
111/// Added with the runner (roadmap phase 3). A separate target from

122/// Emitted by `gunnar-grpc`'s `service::repos` and undeclared until the two

124/// `gunnar_core::observe::log_filter`, the filter a deployment installs,
125/// selected neither of its two call sites. The same defect [`TARGET_LFS`]
126/// documents, found by the guard that exists for it.
127///
128/// Undeclared is not harmless here: an archive-out that FAILS is the one event

137///
138/// Emitted by `gunnar-server`'s `replication_view` and undeclared until
139/// 2026-08-31, alongside [`TARGET_ARCHIVE`] and for the same reason. It is the
140/// worst of the three to have had dark: a standby that receives nothing looks
141/// exactly like a standby with nothing to receive, and the lines that tell them
142/// apart were written into a filter that did not select them — so a mirror
