Adds nico-site-health-probe (#5360, sub-issue of #3723): a Go service that runs configurable probes against NICo APIs concurrently and exposes latency/outcome metrics for the standard collector.

Architecture (dev/k8s/site-health-probe, Go 1.26.4 / toolchain 1.26.7):

  • Channel pipeline: one goroutine per probe (per-probe configurable interval/timeout, immediate first fire, panic recovery) produces Result events on a buffered channel; a Collector consumes them into a Sink. Probes are pure measurement (return Observations, never touch metrics), so future consumers — site-stats aggregation for host ingestion, instance creation, firmware updates (see TODOs) — attach at the Sink seam.
  • Per-API packages: internal/probes/nicoapi (gRPC + SPIFFE mTLS machinery) and internal/probes/restapi (HTTP + Keycloak client-credentials) are distinct; adding a probe to one API never touches the other.
  • v1 probes: gRPC machines (FindMachineIds + first-page FindMachinesByIds, rotation-safe cert reload), REST machines/instances (cached token, secrets re-read from mounted files, never logged). Every probe toggles independently (nico-api without REST and vice versa).
  • Go stubs generated from the canonical crates/rpc/proto definitions (committed; Makefile proto-gen disambiguates two oneof-vs-enum-value name collisions Go cannot compile).
  • Metrics: carbide_site_health_probe_{request_duration_milliseconds, requests_total,up} labeled by api (nico-api | nico-rest-api), probe, operation/outcome.

Security/hardening (audited: gosec 0, govulncheck clean, tests -race):

  • Toolchain pinned to 1.26.7 (1.26.4's stdlib has seven reachable CVEs; the Grype image-scan gate reads the Go version from the binary).
  • REST client refuses redirects (Go replays POST bodies on 307/308 to any host; the token body carries the Keycloak client_secret).
  • Full TLS verification everywhere (no insecure mode exists); metrics server fully timeout-bounded; distroless nonroot image, digest-pinned.

Core RBAC: new SiteHealthProbe principal (nico-site-health-probe) granted FindMachineIds + FindMachinesByIds only.

Helm: nico-site-health-probe subchart under nico-machine-a-tron (enabled by default with the MAT chart; REST probes off until site inputs exist). The SPIFFE Certificate and its volume render only when the gRPC probe is enabled, so REST-only deployments don't depend on the core cert issuer. Hardened pod (nonroot, read-only rootfs, no capabilities, seccomp RuntimeDefault), metrics Service + gated ServiceMonitor, helm-unittest coverage incl. per-probe toggle combinations.

CI: build-site-health-probe image job (mat-k8s-controller pattern), wired into the aggregate jobs. Docs: metric rows in core_metrics.md; MAT README section incl. the stale-TLS-secret reinstall note.

TODO(#5360-followup): active lifecycle probes (machine_count: 1=canary, all=scale test) and progress p50/p95/p99 reporting.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 968ef

This PR adds a default-enabled synthetic monitoring deployment with optional credential-bearing REST probes and recurring fleet queries. The current configuration can expose a client secret over HTTP, fail to start with the documented default image, and impose fleet-sized API work; additional lint and shutdown issues reduce readiness. These risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Explanation

The implementation satisfies most coding objectives in issue #5360, including configurable gRPC and REST probes, continuous scheduling, metrics, a Helm subchart, ServiceMonitor support, and a single-replica deployment. It does not satisfy the requirement that the optional component be disabled by default because the MAT chart enables it by default.

Resolution

Set nico-site-health-probe.enabled to false by default in the parent chart and preserve explicit enablement through the values configuration. Verify that the component remains deployable by setting the flag to true in site-specific values. [#5360]

P1 Badge Honor the parent chart's global namespace override

When global.namespaceOverride differs from the Helm release namespace—as in the documented standalone install—the parent resources use the override, but this helper reads the nonexistent subchart-local .Values.namespaceOverride and falls back to .Release.Namespace. The probe's Deployment, Certificate, Secrets, and Service therefore land in a different namespace from the rest of machine-a-tron; use .Values.global.namespaceOverride here as the parent chart does.

P1 Badge Disable the probe until its default image is deployable

Enabling this dependency by default makes every ordinary machine-a-tron install render a pod using site-health-probe:0.1.0, which the new subchart itself states will not resolve in real clusters. Existing standalone and devspace workflows do not supply this new override, so installs using --wait fail and other installs leave an ImagePullBackOff pod; either default the dependency off or derive a published registry and release tag automatically.

P2 Badge Generate probe metric rows from emitted HELP

These hand-written rows do not agree with the actual Prometheus HELP strings in internal/metrics/metrics.go, and the two gauge descriptions also omit their api and probe label dimensions. Because the integration generator retains pre-existing rows, this divergence persists rather than being corrected by regeneration; exercise and scrape the Go exporter through the catalogue-generation path so names, types, HELP, and labels are verified instead of patching the generated table.

136-139: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Iterate REST probes in a deterministic order.

Go randomizes map iteration order. When both REST probes are invalid, errors.Join produces the aggregated messages in a different order on each run. That makes operator output and exact-message assertions unstable. Use an ordered slice.

Loosen the millisecond-scale timing assumptions in the scheduler tests.

The test drives a 10ms interval inside a 55ms window and then requires at least two runs. On a contended CI runner, ticker delivery and goroutine scheduling can miss that budget, so the test fails intermittently. The same pattern appears at lines 108-112, 121-128, and 134-138.

Poll for the expected result count until a generous deadline instead of asserting after a fixed sleep window. That keeps the contract and removes the timing dependency.

Record fractional milliseconds instead of truncating.

Duration.Milliseconds() returns an integer. A 900µs operation is observed as 0, and 12.9ms is observed as 12, so the histogram sum reads low for fast operations. Divide the duration instead; the existing sum assertion of 42 in metrics_test.go still holds.

Require HTTPS for all REST endpoints.

Validate currently accepts arbitrary non-empty values for both token_url and the REST target. The client therefore can send the mounted client secret or acquired bearer token over plaintext HTTP or to an unintended host. Reject both values unless their parsed scheme is https; redirect refusal and TLS verification do not protect against an unsafe initial endpoint configuration.

Add a ctx.Done() branch to the watchdog select so shutdown is not delayed by a wedged run.

The select waits only on done and watchdog.C. If the parent context is cancelled while a non-cooperative Run is still blocked, this call returns only after 2 * p.Timeout(). The probe goroutine therefore does not return, results is not closed, and main.go blocks on <-schedDone before server.Shutdown. With an operator-configured timeout of, for example, 20s, termination stalls for 40s and the kubelet sends SIGKILL.

Return a suppressed result (empty Outcome, which Collect already ignores) together with the outstanding channel.

 	case res := <-done:

Add a server-side bound to FindMachineIds.

MachineSearchConfig has no limit or pagination field. The API executes find_machine_ids with fetch_all, so PageSize truncates only the client-side slice after the complete result is returned. Add a bounded request contract and use it here.

The redirect test does not exercise CheckRedirect.

The handler writes status 307 without a Location header. Go's HTTP client only follows a redirect when Location is present, so it returns this response and never calls CheckRedirect. The test passes even if the CheckRedirect hook in newHTTPClient is deleted, so it does not protect the documented redirect-refusal guarantee.

Add a Location header that points at a different host, and assert that the second server received no request.

💚 Proposed test change
+	// Redirect target that must never be contacted.
+	var redirected atomic.Int64
+	elsewhere := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request) {
+		redirected.Add(1)
+		w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
+	}))
+	t.Cleanup(elsewhere.Close)
+	h.redirectTo.Store(elsewhere.URL + "/v2/org/testorg/nico/machine")
 	h.apiStatus.Store(http.StatusTemporaryRedirect)
 	if _, err := p.Run(context.Background()); err == nil {
 		t.Fatal("expected error on redirect response")
 	}
+	if got := redirected.Load(); got != 0 {
+		t.Fatalf("redirect target received %d requests, want 0", got)
+	}

The API handler must set the header when redirectTo is non-empty:

if loc, _ := h.redirectTo.Load().(string); loc != "" {
	w.Header().Set("Location", loc)
}

Do not mask golangci-lint failures.

When golangci-lint is installed and returns nonzero, the || echo branch succeeds. make lint then exits zero and reports that the linter is not installed. Use a conditional branch that only prints the fallback when the binary is absent.

Disable the probe until its default image is deployable.

The default image repository is documented as unresolved in real clusters, but both values files enable the subchart. A default parent-chart installation therefore creates a probe pod that cannot start.

  • helm/charts/nico-machine-a-tron/charts/nico-site-health-probe/values.yaml#L17-L17: set enabled to false until this chart has a resolvable default image.
  • helm/charts/nico-machine-a-tron/values.yaml#L452-L452: set the parent override to false so it does not re-enable the unavailable default.

As per path instructions, Helm values must have safe defaults.

Adds nico-site-health-probe (NVIDIA#5360, sub-issue of NVIDIA#3723): a Go service that
runs configurable probes against NICo APIs concurrently and exposes
latency/outcome metrics for the standard collector.

Architecture (dev/k8s/site-health-probe, Go 1.26.4 / toolchain 1.26.7):
- Channel pipeline: one goroutine per probe (per-probe configurable
  interval/timeout, immediate first fire, panic recovery) produces Result
  events on a buffered channel; a Collector consumes them into a Sink.
  Probes are pure measurement (return Observations, never touch metrics),
  so future consumers — site-stats aggregation for host ingestion, instance
  creation, firmware updates (see TODOs) — attach at the Sink seam.
- Per-API packages: internal/probes/nicoapi (gRPC + SPIFFE mTLS machinery)
  and internal/probes/restapi (HTTP + Keycloak client-credentials) are
  distinct; adding a probe to one API never touches the other.
- v1 probes: gRPC machines (FindMachineIds + first-page FindMachinesByIds,
  rotation-safe cert reload), REST machines/instances (cached token,
  secrets re-read from mounted files, never logged). Every probe toggles
  independently (nico-api without REST and vice versa).
- Go stubs generated from the canonical crates/rpc/proto definitions
  (committed; Makefile proto-gen disambiguates two oneof-vs-enum-value
  name collisions Go cannot compile).
- Metrics: carbide_site_health_probe_{request_duration_milliseconds,
  requests_total,up} labeled by api (nico-api | nico-rest-api), probe,
  operation/outcome.

Security/hardening (audited: gosec 0, govulncheck clean, tests -race):
- Toolchain pinned to 1.26.7 (1.26.4's stdlib has seven reachable CVEs;
  the Grype image-scan gate reads the Go version from the binary).
- REST client refuses redirects (Go replays POST bodies on 307/308 to any
  host; the token body carries the Keycloak client_secret).
- Full TLS verification everywhere (no insecure mode exists); metrics
  server fully timeout-bounded; distroless nonroot image, digest-pinned.

Core RBAC: new SiteHealthProbe principal (nico-site-health-probe) granted
FindMachineIds + FindMachinesByIds only.

Helm: nico-site-health-probe subchart under nico-machine-a-tron (enabled by
default with the MAT chart; REST probes off until site inputs exist). The
SPIFFE Certificate and its volume render only when the gRPC probe is
enabled, so REST-only deployments don't depend on the core cert issuer.
Hardened pod (nonroot, read-only rootfs, no capabilities, seccomp
RuntimeDefault), metrics Service + gated ServiceMonitor, helm-unittest
coverage incl. per-probe toggle combinations.

CI: build-site-health-probe image job (mat-k8s-controller pattern), wired
into the aggregate jobs. Docs: metric rows in core_metrics.md; MAT README
section incl. the stale-TLS-secret reinstall note.

TODO(NVIDIA#5360-followup): active lifecycle probes (machine_count: 1=canary,
all=scale test) and progress p50/p95/p99 reporting.
