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

  • Improvements

    • Resource monitoring now evaluates current system or container memory usage.
    • Resource checks can be configured and no longer enforce CPU thresholds.
    • Ingestion requests now undergo resource-availability checks before processing.
    • Memory metrics are initialized at startup for more consistent monitoring.
    • Resource monitoring checks now run at five-second intervals.
  • Removed

    • The banner and About response no longer display language-model status or provider information.
    • CPU utilization threshold, query memory threshold, and OpenAI key options are no longer available.

Walkthrough

The change adds total-memory process metrics, records an initial startup sample, and changes resource checks to use direct memory measurements. It applies middleware to ingestion routes, updates query memory checks, removes CPU threshold configuration, 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 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 run only when resource checking is enabled.

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 ebc00

With resource checks enabled using defaults, ingestion throttling provides no memory headroom before OOM pressure. Set a lower default before merge; repetitive monitor logs are a secondary operational concern.

Inline comments:
In `@src/handlers/http/modal/ingest_server.rs`:
- Around line 72-74: Apply resource-utilization middleware to the standard
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.

524-524: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Set a resource threshold below total memory.

When P_RESOURCE_CHECK_ENABLED=true and P_MEMORY_THRESHOLD is omitted, the default is 100.0. Both host and cgroup checks reject only when used memory is greater than total memory. The default configuration therefore provides no effective throttling before an OOM condition.

Use a default that preserves memory headroom.

Proposed fix
-        default_value = "100.0",
+        default_value = "80.0",
