WalkthroughTRT-LLM now initializes Prometheus and request performance metrics independently of KV-event publishing. The publisher gates KV-event, worker-load, forward-pass, and ZMQ outputs with ChangesTRT-LLM metrics and KV-event publishing
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Metrics are now collected on workers without KV-event publishing, but the current head still risks incorrect multi-rank startup load reporting and can allow a non-timeout TRT-LLM stats failure to stop polling and affect subsequent requests; the documentation also leaves the required PyTorch backend ambiguous. These bounded correctness and reliability issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

- Line 773: Update the metrics initialization around MetricsCollector,
AdditionalMetricsCollector, and register_engine_metrics_callback to fail fast
when Prometheus setup encounters an unexpected error. Move the
AdditionalMetricsCollector import to module scope, narrow exception handling to
documented recoverable exceptions, and log then re-raise all other failures so
the worker cannot start without the required trtllm_* metrics.

both consistently specify the PyTorch backend requirement, either by adding

`--publish-kv-events` turned on the engine's `enable_iter_perf_stats`, which TensorRT-LLM needs for iteration statistics and which costs per-iteration throughput a KV-router benchmark should not pay. KV events never read those statistics. Iteration stats now follow the two switches that consume them. `--publish-metrics` keeps its meaning, Prometheus plus the Planner's forward-pass metrics, since both read the same stats stream. `--fpm-trace` and `DYN_FORWARDPASS_METRIC_PORT`, the opt-in vLLM and SGLang already use, enable the forward-pass metrics on their own. `--publish-kv-events` publishes KV events and nothing else. Signed-off-by: Jorge Antonio <matroid@outlook.com>
Each switch gets a case of its own. At the config layer: `--fpm-trace`, `DYN_FORWARDPASS_METRIC_PORT` and `--publish-metrics` each resolve `publish_forward_pass_metrics` true, `--publish-kv-events` alone leaves it false. At the Publisher layer: the stats thread follows either opt-in and the Planner publisher only the forward-pass one, with nothing running when both are off. The old stub carried an `fpm_enabled` attribute the Publisher never read, so the gating assertions passed whatever the code did. Signed-off-by: Jorge Antonio <matroid@outlook.com>
The TRT-LLM metrics E2E counted unique metric *names* and accepted a zero block count. Prometheus registers a name when its collector is constructed, so the check passed on a worker whose stats thread never published a sample and whose engine never recorded a request. Each path now needs an observation of its own: a positive block count on some attention-DP rank for the stats path, a positive per-request counter for the request path. Either one going dead fails on its own. Signed-off-by: Jorge Antonio <matroid@outlook.com>
The flag reference described `--publish-kv-events` as not enabling "metric reporting", which left the reader to guess whether it enables the engine's `enable_iter_perf_stats`. Name the statistics, and say which switch turns them on: `--publish-metrics` for the Prometheus surface plus the Planner's forward-pass metrics, `--fpm-trace` or `DYN_FORWARDPASS_METRIC_PORT` for the forward-pass metrics alone.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Two things are off in "scraping a worker never changes how it is scheduled".
The used-block sample does not only feed a passive threshold read. It goes into WorkerLoadState::current_decode_overloaded (lib/llm/src/discovery/worker_monitor.rs), whose latch is published through set_overloaded_instances — an overloaded worker leaves the free pool entirely. So with --active-decode-blocks-threshold set, enabling --publish-metrics can change whether a worker is scheduled at all. What is actually invariant is the narrower claim: the KV router's per-worker scoring (worker_logit) never reads this sample.
Separately, "scraping" is the wrong mechanism. Publication is push-based, so hitting /metrics was never what could move routing — the question a reader arrives with is whether enabling the flag does.
Suggested:
It also publishes the per-rank used-block count read by the frontend's optional busy-rejection thresholds. The KV router's worker scoring uses its own active-sequence tracking and never reads this sample, so enabling
--publish-metricsdoes not change KV-aware worker selection; it affects admission only when--active-decode-blocks-thresholdis set.
The rest of the paragraph matches the code — I checked enable_iter_perf_stats, the SamplingParams.return_perf_metrics follow, and the --fpm-trace / DYN_FORWARDPASS_METRIC_PORT opt-in.

Summary
Relates to #14121.
--publish-kv-eventsturned on TensorRT-LLM'senable_iter_perf_stats. KVevents never read those statistics, and collecting them costs per-iteration
throughput a KV-router benchmark should not pay. Iteration statistics now
follow only the two switches that consume them.
trtllm_*enable_iter_perf_stats--publish-kv-events--publish-metrics--fpm-trace/DYN_FORWARDPASS_METRIC_PORT--publish-metricskeeps every path it had.--fpm-traceandDYN_FORWARDPASS_METRIC_PORT, the opt-in vLLM and SGLang already use, enablethe Planner's forward-pass metrics without the Prometheus surface. The
resolution lives in
Config.validate, soenable_iter_perf_statsand thePublisher's two gates read one derived value.
The worker-load sample (used KV blocks per attention-DP rank) comes from the
same stats stream, so it is published whenever iteration statistics are on. The
KV router's worker selection never reads it:
worker_logitinlib/kv-router/src/scheduling/selector/default.rstakes its overlap term fromKV events and its load term from the router's own active-sequence tracking. The
sample's only consumer is the frontend's optional busy rejection
(
--active-decode-blocks-threshold), where it is OR-ed with the router's ownestimate. That is why #14121's concern that scraping
/metricschanges routingdoes not hold, and why the sample gets no gate of its own.
One test fix rides along: the TRT-LLM metrics E2E counted unique metric names
and accepted a zero block count, so it went green with either metric path
broken. It now requires an observation on each path separately.
