Initial release!
Gossip plugin Web.Stats plugin [Reporter] Reset reported counts whenever they’re checkable
In situations where there wasn’t anything new to count, e.g. an empty queue or state, the old checks lingered until there was something to count again. Now any checkable counts are reset to an empty state before storage to ensure we reset back to 0 without new data.
[Recorder] Differentiate max/sum/pct operations for timeslice
Some gauges should be displayed as a sum (exec count) while others should be a maximum (full
count). Now timeslicing can differentiate between the two, and values types gained sum/1 and
union/2 functions to make it possible.
[Met] Start Met on boot for running oban instances
It’s common for oban and oban_met to start in separate applications under an umbrella. When
oban_met started after oban, then Met missed the telemetry event and can’t start a Met
supervisor.
This adds a task on boot that starts a Met instance for any running Oban isntances.
[Recorder] Hibernate recorder process after compact cycle
The Recorder process “touches” large batches of JSON received from Reporter processes, but
it doesn’t operate on the data often enough to trigger a full GC. The entire mechanics are
explained in this post on the ElixirForum.
Now, the Recorder hibernates after compacting to trigger a fullsweep garbage collection.
[Met] Monitor Oban instances and synchronize shutdown.
Auto-started Met instances may outlive the Oban instance they’re linked to, which causes a variety of registry errors when the original process has shutdown. To prevent that, a separate process now monitors the linked Oban supervisor process and coordinates shutting down the Met supervisor.
[Reporter] Increase count frequency by tweaking backoff times.
The leader node now counts larger queues and states more frequently than before by using a smaller expontential backoff.
[Met] Add tests and documentation on running Oban.Met as an Oban plugin.
It’s possible, even encouraged, to start Oban.Met as an Oban plugin in order to avoid
auto-start race conditions.
[Met] Add Met.crontab/1 for distributed crontab tracking and aggregation.
The new Met.crontab/1 function exposes tracked, merged, and normalized crontabs from all
connected nodes in a cluster.
[Examiner] Broadcast queue and cron gossip immediately after init.
Queue and cron data wasn’t broadcast until after the first interval. This was more obvious for cron because it only broadcasts every 15s, but it also benefits queue responsiveness.
[Recorder] Prevent excessive message queue depth in OTP 26.2.5.
A bug fix in OTP 26.2.5 made the performance of :ets.select/3 with a map in the key much
slower, effectively linear with the number of objects in the able. That performance degredation
as enough to bottleneck the Oban.Met.Recorder message queue, which bloats the process and may
cause OOM errors for active systems.
This restores, and even improves, the performance of :ets.select/3 for recorder operations by
moving label maps out of the recorded oject key.
