Description

Unify performance collection and its logging/Prometheus adapters without adding metric families or KV-cache/transfer business behavior. Production and offline execution share immutable observations categorized as per_req, per_iter, and per_rank.

All new observability metric definitions, KV-transfer measurements/outcomes, transfer cleanup fixes, native KV-cache instrumentation, operator reference, and feature tests are in #22083. Merge this refactor first so that PR can use the shared loop producer and transport serializer.

• Add backend-independent PerfMetricsCollector / PerfMetricsRecord and executor-owned LoggerExposure. Reuse captured rank/KV snapshots rather than reading the source again for each exposure.
• Add PrometheusExposure around the existing exporter implementation. Preserve MetricsCollector, its legacy logging methods, existing metric names/labels, dictionary-only producer paths, and flat JSON shape. The Prometheus metric definitions are structurally identical to main.
• Keep request completion records separate from explicitly enabled diagnostic request iteration records. Retain each completion record and emit it directly; preserve mutable candidate_metrics / metrics_dict compatibility attributes and independently snapshot speculative-decoding arrays.
• Replace positional stats-buffer access with IterationStatsRecord(NamedTuple) and keyword construction. A single compatibility conversion reads historical tuple shapes and ignores future trailing fields. Optional timing and loop fields carry existing observations. KV-transfer outcome parameters, record fields, wire serialization and category classification are deferred to [None][feat] Add KV-cache transfer and executor observability metrics #22083.
• Preserve actual loop/capture iteration, sequence, and rank identity independently of delayed batch records. Transport loop observations as an executorLoop envelope; new metric families consuming that envelope belong to [None][feat] Add KV-cache transfer and executor observability metrics #22083.
• Keep existing configuration switches, native-stat sampling, and logger-only basic KV refresh behavior. No new serving configuration fields, dependencies, native KV-cache implementation/binding changes, or disaggregation lifecycle changes are included.

The shared collector/exposure refactor exists only here. #22083 must reconcile its outcome-extended transport record after this refactor lands; the outcome extension is intentionally absent from this PR.

Validation

• Passed: applicable pre-commit hooks, Python syntax and diff checks, and structural comparison showing every Prometheus metric constructor/definition matches main.
• Scope checks show no edits to disaggregation business logic, metric enums/request transfer extraction, native KV-cache implementation, or bindings.
• Regression coverage includes immutable category ownership, existing logger/Prometheus parity, cached snapshot de-duplication, source-read cadence, diagnostic-versus-completion accounting, independent loop identity, scrape independence, legacy tuple compatibility, and direct completion-record exposure without thawing/recollection.
• Runtime Python tests and collector-overhead benchmarks have not been run. A target host/container is still needed. Passing hooks/syntax checks are not runtime validation.
• Rebased onto inspected main f72ff0c77e; the follow-up must rebase after this refactor lands to reconcile its extended transport record.

Shared iteration serialization

IterationStatsRecord.to_dict() now owns the native-stats conversion and optional-field JSON aliases. Both worker serialization and the ADP all-ranks gather path use it. The existing camelCase keys, omitted optional values, legacy tuple layouts, and path-specific rank fields are preserved. Added compatibility coverage for both row shapes, zero timing values, request statistics, and historical tuple widths.

Validation: Python syntax checks and applicable pre-commit hooks passed. The new runtime regression tests have not been run; a target TensorRT-LLM container is still needed.

Dashboard preview

Runnable Grafana dashboard example

Includes examples/serve/grafana/dashboard.py, example.config.json, metrics/log templates and a setup README. Linked from examples/serve/README.md and the performance-metrics documentation. Supports offline rendering, deployment dry-run and explicit publication. The default configuration renders one metrics dashboard with 80 panel templates; optional Loki logs have their own dashboard.

The example belongs to this PR. New KV-cache metric implementation remains in #22083; its optional panels need that instrumentation. Missing observations do not become measured zeros.

Validation: 25 standalone dashboard utility tests passed with mocked publication/Kubernetes operations, and the example configuration rendered offline. This does not validate live Grafana publication, PromQL execution or the native metrics instrumentation.

Overview

This change unifies performance metric collection and exposure. PerfMetricsCollector builds immutable records. Logger and Prometheus adapters expose those records. The change also adds IterationStatsRecord for iteration stats, and a standalone Grafana dashboard renderer and publisher under examples/serve/grafana/. The diff covers 29 files, with 15,089 lines added and 172 removed. The change does not add KV-transfer outcome metrics or exporter instruments. Those belong to #22083.

Validation status:

• The author reports that 25 standalone dashboard utility tests passed, with mocked publication and Kubernetes operations.
• The author reports that pre-commit hooks and Python syntax checks passed.
• Runtime Python tests and collector-overhead benchmarks have not been run. The author states that a TensorRT-LLM container is still needed.
• Live Grafana publication, PromQL execution, and native metric instrumentation are not validated.
• No CI results for the current head were available to this review.

Dev Engineer Review

• Wire-format changes. BaseWorker._stats_serializer drops its previous handling of request stats, KV-cache stats, attention-DP rank, and optional timing and scheduler fields. It now delegates to IterationStatsRecord. The objectives state that the flat JSON shape is preserved. Confirm this against the serializer tests before merge. Also confirm that the attentionDpRank key (default 0) and the rank key match consumers.
• Legacy tuple handling. IterationStatsRecord.from_tuple truncates trailing fields to the record's field count. Tuples wider than the known layout drop extra values silently. Confirm that no producer depends on those trailing values.
• KV-cache utilization formula. kv_cache_utilization uses used blocks when present. Otherwise it uses capacity minus free blocks. It returns None for missing or nonpositive capacity. Callers that formerly divided used blocks by maximum blocks directly must handle None.
• KV-cache refresh cadence. PerfMetricsCollector polls the KV-cache reader on the first loop, then every kv_refresh_interval loops (default 16). Between polls it reuses the last rank snapshot. Metrics can lag by up to 16 loops. Confirm this lag is acceptable for dashboards.
• Interface renames. MetricsCollector is renamed to PrometheusExposure. A compatibility subclass keeps the old name. Legacy request and iteration methods are renamed. Check any external callers that use the old method names.
• Record ownership in result.py. GenerationResultBase now stores a list of PerfMetricsRecord objects. Speculative-decoding per-position data is copied into lists before recording. Check memory growth for long-running or high-candidate requests.
• Profiling and logging behavior. profile_step now derives the rank filter from TLLM_PROFILE_LOG_RANKS. It passes KV-cache stats only when logging is on, collection is off, the rank is selected, and a KV-cache manager exists. The old inline log formatting and local counters are removed. Confirm that log output is unchanged for existing users.
• Dashboard deployment side effects. The deploy path writes Grafana dashboards and Kubernetes ConfigMaps. The configmap-v2 mode preserves unrelated ConfigMap data and metadata. It also checks revisions before mutation. A dry-run mode exists. Review the default publication mode and the --finalize-only checkpoint logic.
• Dashboard error handling. The deployment code avoids printing Kubernetes stderr, HTTP bodies, configuration values, and credentials. Only mocked tests cover this behavior. Verify it in live runs.
• Scope. The Grafana example, documentation, and Loki logs dashboard add about 3,100 lines combined. They are example and tooling code, not runtime paths. The runtime changes are concentrated in py_executor.py, profiling.py, base_worker.py, result.py, openai_server.py, grpc/openengine/metrics.py, and metrics/.

Not established:

• Whether the modified _torch/pyexecutor, executor, and grpc test files are already covered by existing CI lists. The raw summary does not show their list entries.
• Pass or fail status for any test on the current head.

Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. The unit tests cover the new collector, serializer, and dashboard logic on paper. Runtime tests have not run. The author states that a target container is still needed. Live dashboard publication and native metric instrumentation are not covered.

Review follow-up

Removed unused KV-transfer outcome plumbing from this PR, including the executor parameter, named-record field, JSON serialization, rank-category key and transport-specific assertions. The producer, transport extension, classification and their feature coverage belong to #22083.

Documented the added partition/freeze/mapping work and the pending benchmark dimensions; the existing JSON encoding/decoding passes are not new. Added explicit KV-utilization edge coverage for used-count precedence, free-only snapshots, unknown/zero capacity, logger N/A, and the unchanged Prometheus explicit-used-count guard. The inspected baseline already logs N/A for zero capacity, rather than 0%. Kept the materialization method names: they do not collide with domain types or shadow imported symbols.

Validation: syntax/lint and applicable commit hooks passed. The added runtime tests and collector/source/transport overhead benchmarks remain unrun.

CodeRabbit review fixes

• Keep include_logs default false throughout rendering; bypass environment proxies for loopback Grafana URLs while retaining redirect refusal.
• Reset the existing collector in place before resource rebind, preserving the profiling manager's reference while clearing old loop/rank/fetched state.
• Correct the stale outcome slot in the loop-envelope tuple fixture and verify zero queue-time histogram count.
• Fix shared Logs dashboard worker/frontend selection and configurable role-label legends. Add regression coverage for the real profiling boundary and worker envelope, selected-rank/source-read gates, OpenEngine collection, finalize-only recovery, sidecar timeout, Secret decoding and loopback proxy routing.

Validation: 32 standalone dashboard tests passed; the neutral example renders offline; applicable commit hooks passed. TensorRT-LLM executor/transfer regression tests and native rebuild remain unrun pending the requested target host/container. Collector-overhead benchmarking remains pending.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 07609

Explicit targets, protected credential transport, and version checks limit the new dashboard publisher’s exposure. Publication is not atomic across Kubernetes and Grafana, so partial failures require deliberate recovery. No introduced security defect was established in the inspected paths.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The publisher acts with the operator’s kubectl identity and configured Grafana credentials; it is not a restricted configuration sandbox. Its intended mutations are the configured dashboard UIDs, ConfigMap, and optional scrape resources. Consequently, publication configuration and the execution environment are privileged inputs, with effective authority bounded by the supplied credentials and cluster permissions.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Grafana credentials are resolved from environment variables or a named Kubernetes Secret. The HTTP client refuses redirects, bypasses environment proxies for loopback targets, and omits response bodies from transport errors. Kubernetes commands use an argument list with explicit context and namespace rather than shell interpolation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Dashboard writes retain current metadata for optimistic concurrency and compare revisions before final mutation. Every CLI invocation removes a previous receipt and writes a new one only after deployment returns successfully, reducing stale-success signals after failures. Recovery still depends on the documented checkpoint workflow rather than automatic rollback.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "[None][refactor] Unify performance collection and exposure" follows the repository template with a "[None]" ticket tag and a "[refactor]" type. It names the main change: the shared PerfMetricsCollector/PerfMetricsRecord and the LoggerExposure and PrometheusExposure adapters, which the raw summary shows across metrics/perf.py, logging.py, collector.py and the executor files. The changeset also includes a Grafana dashboard example and documentation, which the title does not mention. That is expected for a title that targets the main change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections: Description, Validation, and a Review follow-up. It explains the refactor scope, deferred work to #22083, and the Grafana dashboard example. It includes validation status and what was not run. It does not fill the template's Test Coverage section as a distinct heading, and it does not state the PR title in the required format or confirm the PR Checklist items. Those gaps are non-critical, so the description is mostly complete.

Test zero-capacity KV snapshots.

kv_cache_utilization treats a zero or missing capacity as unavailable. The new tests cover only positive capacity, so a regression could divide by zero or change the logger’s N/A output. Add a zero-capacity snapshot case in tests/unittest/metrics/test_perf.py. Assert both the helper result and the logger output. As per path instructions, flag “a new or changed validation rule” without a meaningful test. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Exercise the executor-to-collector logging gate.

The new tests call PerfMetricsCollector.collect_loop directly. They do not verify that profile_step_fn supplies a KV reader only in logger-only mode on a selected rank. A gate regression could add KV reads or remove the iteration log without failing those tests. Add a CPU-stubbed case for selected and excluded ranks in tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_profile_endpoints.py, and list that file in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml if the case is intended for CI. As per path instructions, test a materially changed runtime behavior at its production-code hunk. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Add a test for OpenEngine iteration exposure.

_collect_once converts each iteration record with PerfMetricsCollector.collect_iteration(stats) and emits it through self.collector. No test in tests/unittest or tests/integration calls _collect_once. test_collector.py covers only record_result, and test_openengine.py replaces OpenEngineMetrics with a stub. The conversion and Prometheus exposure are tested in tests/unittest/metrics/test_perf.py, but not this OpenEngine call. A regression at this line can pass the current suite.

Add a test in tests/unittest/grpc/openengine/test_metrics.py. Use a SimpleNamespace with these fields:

• _llm whose get_stats yields one iteration dictionary that includes an iter value and an attentionDpRank value.
• _stopping set to an unset threading.Event.
• collector set to a Mock.
• _record_error set to a Mock.

Call OpenEngineMetrics._collect_once(ns). Assert that collector.emit receives a record with the expected per-iteration values and rank, and that _record_error is not called. This follows the pattern in tests/unittest/metrics/test_collector.py:938-944.

Add tests for the --finalize-only resume path and the sidecar timeout

The README presents --finalize-only as the recovery path after partial checkpoints. No test calls deploy(..., finalize_only=True). Tests also do not cover the 90-second checksum-timeout error at dashboard.py lines 867-870. As a result, a regression would go undetected in two cases:

• The resume path rejects a valid applied checkpoint.
• The resume path accepts a ConfigMap whose data differs from the rendered cm["data"].

Add two FakeClient cases in this file:

• First, pre-populate client.cm with the rendered checkpoint and assert that resume succeeds. Then change one data value and assert "Resume requires the exact rendered ConfigMap checkpoint".
• Second, patch time.monotonic so that the checksum never matches, and assert the timeout SetupError.

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Remove the obsolete tuple slot before loop.

IterationStatsRecord has nine fields, with executor_loop at index 8. This fixture supplies None at index 8 and loop at index 9. from_tuple() truncates the tuple to nine fields, so serialization omits executorLoop. The assertion on Line 375 then raises KeyError, which fails the serializer test suite.

Remove the extra None before loop.

Review comment at @tests/unittest/executor/test_stats_serializer.py at line 372:
Update the iter_stats fixture tuple so loop occupies the executor_loop field at index 8; remove the extra None immediately before it so from_tuple retains the loop value for serialization.

- Around line 554-558: Update the environment patch in the loopback proxy test
to set both no_proxy and NO_PROXY to empty strings alongside
DASHBOARD_TEST_TOKEN. Keep the configured proxy in the test so it verifies that
production code itself bypasses the proxy for loopback requests.

Please preserve existing binaryData when building the checkpoint. With a previously applied shared ConfigMap, omitting this field makes kubectl apply delete unrelated binary entries despite the advertised preservation behavior.

Runtime part LGTM. The isolated Python collection/serialization/exposure tests and boundary checks pass (162 + 20); native/MPI execution and performance were not validated. I did not review the Grafana tooling.
