Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved unit conversion to correctly combine space, time, and count dimensions.
    • Corrected handling of dimensionless units.
  • Security
    • Added a warning when HTTP Basic Authentication credentials are used with an insecure HTTP endpoint. Requests continue as before, but users are alerted to the potential credential exposure.

Walkthrough

The OpenTelemetry exporter now composes space, time, and count dimensions independently. Both exporters warn on stderr when Basic Authentication targets a non-HTTPS endpoint and continue the request.

Changes

Unit formatting and authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Composite UCUM unit formatting
src/pcp2opentelemetry/pcp2opentelemetry.py
The exporter combines space, time, and count dimensions. It returns "1" only when no unit component exists.
Non-HTTPS Basic Authentication warning
src/pcp2openmetrics/pcp2openmetrics.py, src/pcp2opentelemetry/pcp2opentelemetry.py
Both exporters write a credential-leak warning to stderr for non-HTTPS endpoints. They continue with the configured authentication.

Poem

I’m a rabbit measuring space, time, and count,
Joining each unit in the proper amount.
When credentials travel without HTTPS light,
A warning hops out to stderr in plain sight.
Then requests continue on their way.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bfeec

The OpenTelemetry unit-formatting change can produce incorrect metric unit strings for some count dimensions, so the PR is not merge-ready until that correctness issue is fixed; the stderr newline issue is minor.

This could break existing setups - should this just be a warning not an error?

Do these changes impact on tests? If not, why not? :)

@natoscott Looks like its not picked up in the QA test because right now I only have the metric "hinv.ncpu" being tested which is unitless. Should I add a metric or two that has a unit into the QA test?

That'd be great. The sample PMDA has heaps of options and is always available in QA, and the metrics are the same for every platform.

Use units.dimCount for the count exponent.

Line 553 uses units.scaleCount as the exponent. For dimCount=2 and scaleCount=3, this emits k{count}3 instead of k{count}2. Use units.dimCount, as the native implementation does.

Proposed fix
-                    ucum_string += "%d" % units.scaleCount
+                    ucum_string += "%d" % units.dimCount

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Terminate the warning with a newline.

msg has no trailing newline, and sys.stderr.write(msg) does not add one. The next warning or error can be appended to the same stderr line, which makes diagnostics ambiguous. Add \n to the message.
