[Bug 42375] New: Add OpenTelemetry to Koha

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42375 Bug ID: 42375 Summary: Add OpenTelemetry to Koha Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: kyle(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org We should add option support for OpenTelemetry instrumentation to Koha for tracing, metrics, and observability. Koha has no request-level observability. When a page is slow or a SIP connection hangs, the only option is manually correlating timestamps across Apache logs, Plack logs, MySQL slow-query logs, and syslog. This is painful, cumbersome, and often inaccurate or impossible. For example, the apache and plack logs aren't written to until the process is complete, so we can't use that to know which process/request has gone haywire and had to be killed. The closest we've come is to use strace to try divining what the process was doing based on the SQL queries we see in the strace output. Scripts can silently trigger hundreds ( or even hundreds of thousands ) of SQL queries for a single request. Without per-request profiling in production, these can go unnoticed until they cause outages ( Bug 42373 is an example of that ). Starman worker memory leaks and pool exhaustion are diagnosed post-mortem, not proactively. SIP2 is a black box. No per-message latency, no pool utilization metrics, and no trace linking SIP operations to underlying DB calls. Existing profiling tools (NYTProf et al) can't be used in production. Ideas: * Koha::Middleware::OpenTelemetry — Plack middleware creating a root span per request with HTTP semantic convention attributes plus Koha-specific context (koha.instance, koha.interface, koha.borrowernumber). Gated behind an OpenTelemetryEnabled system preference — zero cost when off. * DBI/DBIC span wrapping — child spans for database calls with query counts, timing, and sanitized statements. * Subsystem instrumentation SIP2, connex, background jobs, external HTTP calls. * External stuff like memcached, elastic, zebra, etc? Need to see what's out there for monitoring these already. * RED metrics per interface, worker pool gauges, connection pool utilization for plack/starman, sip, et al All configuration should follow standard OTel environment variables (OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER, etc.). We might even add OpenMetrics support if necessary, but I think OpenTelemetry is a good first step. OpenTelemtry creates metrics, but OpenMetrics does not do things like observability. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 42593] New: Add ability for background reports ( and saved reports ) output to be stored on the filesystem instead of the database

It seems like a good idea to be able to store that output on the filesystem instead of in the database. Maybe with a syspref for "never/always/ask" or something along those lines. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 42373] New: Add ability to disallow unbounded patron api searches

If the _per_page size is greater than the limit we specify, Koha should refuse the request and emit an http status code 400, with a clear error body explaining the max allowed _per_page value. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

We then moved the shared staff accounts over to this new category and set a manual expiration date of a few weeks out. We then went into one of these staff accounts and manually changed the PIN. Now on the patron detail page, it shows their PIN Expires as NEVER. It should show either the manual expiration date we'd already set, or a new date 90 days out. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
