feat(telemetry): attribute usage events and their counters to the org member - #1066
Conversation
… member
The Logs question "show me Alice's 429s in the last 24h" had no answer. A
usage event named the credential it arrived on (`api_key_id`, plus a JWT
subject) but never the person behind it, so answering meant enumerating
every key a member owns, querying each, and merging by hand — and a member
who calls through both an API key and OIDC was still split across two
identities that no single filter could join.
Add `user_id` to the UsageEvent wire contract, stamped from the resolved
`ApiKey.user_id` at request time. A snapshot rather than something cp-api
resolves from `api_key_id` at query time: rebinding a key would otherwise
re-attribute its whole history to the new owner, and deleting one would
erase the attribution of everything it ever sent. The JWT path needs no
separate handling — a token runs AS the key it resolves to, so one field
covers both halves of the auth surface.
`apply_jwt_identity` becomes `apply_caller_identity` and takes the member
alongside the JWT identity. The rename is the point: this family is one
call per handler and a new one is easy to forget, so the compiler now
refuses any site that has not been considered.
On the metrics side, `aisix_usage_events_emitted_total` gains:
- `user_id`, via `UsageEventLabels` — attribution, so it lands on
`aisix_usage_event_drops_total` too and "whose usage records were
lost" stays answerable. `UsageSink::try_emit` fills it from the
event's own field, so the counter and the row cp-api persists cannot
name different members. The readable `user_name` is deliberately not
duplicated here: it is 1:1 with `user_id` on the request family and
joinable from there, and reaching it would mean widening
`CallerIdentity` across the gateway crate for a display convenience.
- `http_status_code`, the raw code. `status_code` keeps its `2xx` /
`4xx` / `5xx` bucketing, so dashboards and alerts written against it
keep working; the raw code determines the family, so carrying both
adds no series over carrying the raw code alone.
The drop counter deliberately gains no status dimension. `handler` /
`status_code` / `http_status_code` / `inbound_protocol` are the emit
counter's own arguments rather than attribution, and `emitted ==
delivered + dropped` is an invariant over the attribution dimensions —
which is exactly why `user_id` does appear on both.
OTLP spans carry the member as `aisix.user_id`, beside `aisix.api_key_id`.
E2E over a real binary and a real SLS export: an owned key stamps its
member; a JWT resolving to that member's *other* key stamps the same
member (the case a query-time join on `api_key_id` gets wrong); an
unowned key stamps nobody, so a member filter cannot sweep up traffic
that was never theirs; and an upstream 429 is addressable as
`{user_id, http_status_code="429"}` with the `4xx` family still present.

Full details: E2e Test Quality ReviewExplanation PASS — The added suite exercises the real AISIX binary through the API, etcd-backed configuration, upstream dispatch, and SLS export path. It verifies member-owned API-key attribution, JWT attribution through a second key, unowned-key omission, and member-scoped 429 metrics with both raw and bucketed status labels. Mocks are limited to deterministic external dependencies and the SLS payload is decoded from the real exporter format. Each test uses unique markers, delta-based metric assertions, and independent setup; async operations and cleanup are awaited. Assertions are structured and readable.

2082-2108: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAvoid the per-emit
to_string()allocation for the cache key.
record_usage_event_emitruns once per usage event, on every proxied request. Line 2082 callsstatus_code.to_string()unconditionally, before the cache lookup, and line 2089 uses thatStringto build the worker-cache key.This file already solves this exact problem for
record_request(k.label_u16(status)at line 991) specifically to avoid a per-emit allocation on the hot path. Use the same method here for the key builder, and defer theto_string()conversion to the register closure, which only runs on a cache miss.Based on learnings, this file's own convention (
WorkerKey::label_u16, and its comment "Hand-rolled digits:fmt::writemachinery was a visible per-emit cost") establishes that rawu16status values must not be converted toStringon the cache-hit path.⚡ Proposed fix to avoid the allocation on the cache-hit path

…location The worker-cache key is built on every usage event; rendering the status code into a String ahead of the lookup put an allocation on the cache-HIT path, which is the common one. WorkerKey::label_u16 exists for exactly this (record_request already uses it) — its hand-rolled digits avoid the fmt::write machinery — so the String render moves into the register closure that only runs on a miss.

…code` The e2e prometheus guard caught it: `http_status_code` contains `status_code` as a substring, so the existing assertion that the family label stays bucketed (`not.toMatch(status_code="200")`) started matching the new raw label and failed. Any operator regex or grep over `status_code="…"` would have had the same ambiguity. `status` is what `aisix_proxy_requests_total` already calls the raw code, so one spelling now works across both families — and it collides with nothing. `status_code` keeps its `2xx`/`4xx`/`5xx` bucketing, so the change stays non-breaking. The guard's comment said raw codes must never appear on this family at all; that is no longer the intent, so it now states which label is bucketed and which is raw, and asserts both.
#1066 renamed the family so a new emit site cannot be added without considering member attribution. This is that site.
