docs(tenant-resource-metrics-api): tenant consumption metrics via an authorizing proxy - #94
Conversation
…API proposal Add a design proposal for a read-only Kubernetes aggregation API (metrics.cozystack.io) that lets the dashboard render per-tenant, per-resource consumption graphs (CPU, memory, network) for VM instances and other resources. Tenant isolation is enforced server-side and authorization reuses the existing tenant RBAC and Keycloak groups. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>

…on and tighten input handling Fix a factual claim flagged in review: workloads.cozystack.io status.resources is a mix of categories, and S3 size is measured consumption from SeaweedFS metrics, not allocation. Also clarify PVC capacity vs requests, the oauth2-proxy vs token-proxy default, and add target.name sanitization to the security model. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>
…lation, resolver Align the prior-art sentence with the Design section: authorization uses the delegated-RBAC SubjectAccessReview model, not the tenantnamespaces any-binding walk. Name the Layer-2 isolation label (per-series namespace) and state the non-spoofable invariant explicitly. Simplify tenant resolution to read the inherited namespace.cozystack.io/monitoring label directly instead of walking ancestors. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>
…t-label resolver Section 5 resolves the vmselect by reading the inherited namespace.cozystack.io/monitoring label directly, so the unit-test description must not say the resolver walks the ancestry. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>
…d add Decisions section The namespace.cozystack.io/monitoring label defaults to empty, not tenant-root; tenant-root is where series land via the hardcoded monitoring-agents remote-write target. State that the resolver reads the label directly and falls back to tenant-root on an empty value, and sync the testing bullet. Add the Decisions section from the proposal template. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>
… console-usage wording Use the real dashboard value key _cluster.oidc-enabled. Note the existing per-tenant PVC-by-StorageClass summary and scope the gap to a per-VM consumption time-series view. Mark the billing.aenix.io reference as external and pattern-only. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>
… accurately The PVC-by-StorageClass view is cluster-wide across all tenants, not per-tenant; the Capacity gauges render requested-vs-allocatable while metrics.k8s.io feeds a per-node table Used column. Describe both correctly. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>
…ge and label-trust caveats State the OIDC-enabled/no-group-prefix prerequisite the group-based authz relies on as an open question.

The subresource reverse-proxies to the tenant vmselect and returns native Prometheus-compatible JSON with no Kubernetes envelope; RBAC is free because it shares the apps.cozystack.io group; tenant isolation is a server-forced extra_filters.

State the empty monitoring-label rule explicitly (resolve to tenant-root) and note it diverges from the workloadmonitor controller.

Thanks for the rework, IvanHunters, and for the latest commit that makes the prior art stand on its own. Dropping the MetricQuery kind and returning native Prometheus JSON were the right calls, and the problem statement is clear.
First, a correction on my side. I was earlier in favour of the subresource direction, which is part of why the doc moved there. Working through the details has changed my mind, and I'm sorry for the extra round this costs you. I don't think Cozystack should grow a Kubernetes extension API for metrics, either as a new group or as a subresource on apps.cozystack.io. I'd recommend a small authorizing proxy in front of VictoriaMetrics instead. The reasoning follows.
What we actually need from Kubernetes
The reason to build this into Cozystack at all is so that Kubernetes identity and RBAC decide who can read which tenant's metrics: the same tokens, the same tenant groups, the same view<use<admin rollup, the same ancestor access. That requirement is about authentication and authorization, not about routing. Kubernetes exposes both as APIs that any component can call:
TokenReviewvalidates the bearer token the dashboard already holds. It covers OIDC and ServiceAccount tokens alike, because kube-apiserver uses its own authenticators to answer.SubjectAccessReviewasks RBAC whether that user, with their groups, may do X in namespace Y.
A proxy that makes these two calls is authorized by Kubernetes RBAC exactly as much as an aggregated API server is, which itself asks the same questions through delegated authorization. Identity and policy stay Kubernetes. Only the query traffic stays out of the API server.
What routing through the aggregation layer costs
-
The query path goes through the control plane. Every chart refresh crosses kube-apiserver, the aggregator and
cozystack-api. Each request:- counts against API Priority and Fairness, alongside every other tenant's API traffic;
- is subject to the non-long-running request timeout (60s by default);
- may write an audit entry with the PromQL in the URL, depending on the audit policy.
Range queries over large windows are exactly the slow, bulky requests this machinery isn't built for.
-
It shares a failure domain with all application CRUD.
cozystack-apiserves every application kind and rolls out whenever an ApplicationDefinition changes. Graphs would drop out during each rollout, and a slowvmselectholds connections in the server that handles all application reads and writes. -
It isn't really a Prometheus endpoint. A Kubernetes path can carry a Prometheus API tail only under a connect subresource of a specific object. That means one datasource per application here, or per namespace with a placeholder object invented to anchor the path. Grafana's metric browser and autocomplete also need
labels,label/<name>/valuesandseries. And Grafana sends queries as POST by default, which Kubernetes authorizes ascreate, a verb the tenant view role doesn't grant onapps.cozystack.io. -
The object in the path can't be enforced. The series these graphs need (cAdvisor, kube-state-metrics,
kubevirt_vmi_*) carrynamespacebut no release or application label (see line 113). The boundary that can actually be enforced is the namespace, which matches how tenant roles are bound anyway. Hanging the endpoint off each application object adds API surface for a scope it can't guarantee. -
The tenant-wide view doesn't fit. A
Tenantobject lives in its parent's namespace, where the tenant's own groups have no binding. Sotenants/<name>/metricswould be readable by ancestors but not by the tenant itself (see line 175). -
It's permanent. A
metricssubresource on every application kind becomes part of theapps.cozystack.iocontract and shows up in discovery. Later replacing it, say once the metrics store gets native multi-tenancy, means removing API surface clients depend on. A proxy is an implementation detail behind a URL and can be swapped freely.
What it buys, and the proxy equivalent
| Aggregation layer gives | Proxy equivalent |
|---|---|
| Token authentication | TokenReview, cached |
| Namespace-scoped RBAC decision | SubjectAccessReview, cached |
| No new host to expose | A path on the dashboard's existing nginx (next to /apis), plus an in-cluster Service for Grafana |
| No new Deployment | Not matched: the proxy is one small stateless Deployment |
The one thing the aggregation layer genuinely saves is a Deployment. Given the costs above, that isn't a good trade.
Suggested design
dashboard / tenant Grafana
│ Authorization: Bearer <same token used for kube-apiserver>
▼
metrics proxy GET|POST /namespaces/<ns>/api/v1/{query,query_range,labels,label/<name>/values,series}
1. TokenReview(token) → user, groups (cached)
2. SubjectAccessReview(get <virtual resource> in <ns>) → allow / 403 (cached)
3. rebuild the upstream request: allowlisted params only,
namespace="<ns>" injected into every selector and every match[]
4. per-user concurrency / rate limits, range / step / timeout caps
▼
vmselect in tenant-root (shortterm or longterm chosen by range)
- Off-the-shelf parts: kube-rbac-proxy (TokenReview + SubjectAccessReview) in front of prom-label-proxy (label enforcement for queries,
match[], and the labels endpoints). OpenShift serves per-project metrics to users with the view role the same way. A single small Go service doing the same steps is also fine. Either way, it is far less code than an API-server subresource plus its tests. - RBAC: one rule naming a virtual resource that no API server serves. The rule is aggregated into
cozy:tenant:viewvia the existingrbac.cozystack.io/aggregate-to-tenant-viewlabel. Ancestor access comes for free from the existing bindings. Because the rule is its own, metrics-read can later be gated separately from app-read (line 179 currently has to rule that out). - Dashboard: the same token and a standard Prometheus client. Per-app graphs are just queries scoped by
pod/nameinside the tenant's namespace. "All my databases" is the same endpoint with a wider query, so no second mechanism is needed. - Tenant Grafana: can use the same endpoint as a datasource, one per namespace, with the user's forwarded identity or a ServiceAccount token.
Much of the current doc carries over unchanged: Context, Problem, goals other than the "in cozystack-api" one, the GET/raw-PromQL reasoning, the Phase 0 KubeVirt scrape check, the store selection by range, and most of Security and Testing.
Issues that apply whichever shape we pick
Details are in the inline comments:
- What the forced filter can match on (line 113).
- Stripping caller-supplied
extra_filters/extra_label. vmselect ORs repeatedextra_filtersvalues; CodeRabbit raised this and it's still open (line 113). - Store resolution points monitoring-enabled tenants at a store without their resource metrics (line 117).
- Where the labels in the shared store come from (line 141).
- Concrete query-cost limits (line 144).
Smaller items:
- The PR title and description still describe the earlier
metrics.cozystack.io/MetricQuerydesign and "Draft" status. - A few passages still lean on a design discussion readers weren't part of (line 23).
- Who owns the per-kind PromQL (CNPG pods,
kubevirt_vmi_*, Redis, …)? The SPA, or something declared on the ApplicationDefinition? Line 97's "per-kind cost: none" doesn't cover this.

Thanks for removing the external references. A few passages still point to a conversation community readers weren't part of:
- "after a design discussion" (line 14);
- "flagged in the discussion" (line 23);
- "the team-flagged underlying work" (line 168);
- "Rejected in the design discussion" (line 185);
- "Decision criterion from the discussion" (line 187).
Please state the reasoning itself, so the document doesn't refer to a conversation its readers weren't part of. For example: "per-tenant isolation of the metrics store is the underlying prerequisite".

||
| - **Aggregated-API streaming resources (the mechanism).** An aggregated API server can serve a virtual, non-etcd resource that streams a backend's native response rather than a Kubernetes object, the way upstream `pods/log` streams container logs and `pods/proxy` reverse-proxies to a pod. A resource whose authorization lives in a different API group than the objects it reports on needs a **custom `SubjectAccessReview`** in the handler, so its RBAC is not free; this proposal avoids that by exposing metrics as a subresource in the same `apps.cozystack.io` group as its target. | ||
| - **cozystack-api (the host).** `cozystack-api` is the aggregated API server for `apps.cozystack.io`, registering one storage per application kind from the `ApplicationDefinition` set, with delegated authentication and authorization. It has no subresource today, so this adds the first one. | ||
| - **Kubernetes subresource precedents.** Upstream `pods/log` uses `GetterWithOptions` + `ResourceStreamer` to stream a non-JSON body; `pods/proxy` uses `rest.Connecter` to return an `http.Handler` that reverse-proxies arbitrary methods and response bodies. The latter is the closer fit for a Prometheus passthrough. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Small correction to the reasoning. A resource in a different API group doesn't need a custom SubjectAccessReview just because it's in another group. It needs one RBAC rule naming it, aggregated into the tenant roles like any other. A handler-side SubjectAccessReview is only needed when the object being authorized arrives in the request instead of the URL path. That matters for the comparison in section 2 and at line 187: "RBAC is not free" here means one ClusterRole rule, not a custom authorization layer.

|
||
| ### 1. Shape: a metrics subresource on `application` | ||
|
|
||
| Add a `metrics` subresource to each `apps.cozystack.io` application kind in `cozystack-api`, registered under the storage key `"<plural>/metrics"` and implemented as a `rest.Connecter` (the `pods/proxy` pattern): the handler returns an `http.Handler` that reverse-proxies to the tenant's `vmselect`. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is the part I'd change, per the top-level comment. The section would become "an authorizing proxy in front of vmselect":
TokenReview+SubjectAccessReviewfor identity and RBAC;- label enforcement in the proxy;
- served on a path behind the dashboard's nginx.
cozystack-api and apps.cozystack.io would stay untouched.
| | new components | none (handler in existing `cozystack-api`) | a new aggregated API server | a new aggregated API server | | ||
| | per-kind cost | none: one shared handler, registered per plural in the existing loop, no per-kind code or recompile | one resource for all | one resource, but per-target SAR wiring | | ||
|
|
||
| The decisive points: RBAC is genuinely free because the subresource shares the `apps.cozystack.io` group with its target, so it inherits the existing wildcard `get apps.cozystack.io/*` grant (a separate-group resource could not); the response is the backend's own Prometheus JSON, so the dashboard reuses a standard client instead of a second kube-style API; and because `cozystack-api` builds its application storages in one loop over `ApplicationDefinition`, the `metrics` subresource is one shared handler registered per plural in that loop rather than hand-written per application type, avoiding a per-kind recompile. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It's free here only because the view role has a wildcard over apps.cozystack.io. The same decision is one SubjectAccessReview away for any component, and a dedicated rule costs one aggregated ClusterRole entry. That rule also buys the ability to gate metrics-read separately later, which line 179 has to rule out because the subresource rides on the wildcard.
|
|
||
| **Layer 1 (RBAC), free and already granted.** Because the subresource is in `apps.cozystack.io`, the kube-apiserver and `cozystack-api`'s delegated authorizer check `get <plural>/metrics` in the request namespace with no custom code. And it needs no new rule: the existing `cozy:tenant:view:base` ClusterRole already grants `get` on `apps.cozystack.io` with resources `["*"]`, and an RBAC resource wildcard matches subresources, so `get <plural>/metrics` is already authorized at tenant `view` and above through the existing `<tenant>-view` group bindings. Metrics-read therefore inherits app-read, with zero new ClusterRole, no new Keycloak group, and no tenant-chart change. The consequence is that metrics-read cannot be gated separately from app-read while that wildcard stands: gating it differently would mean narrowing the existing wildcard, which is out of scope here (see Open questions). | ||
|
|
||
| **Layer 2 (forced filter), the isolation hinge.** The handler takes the tenant from the request namespace (already authorized) and the release from the object name, and appends a mandatory `extra_filters` label matcher to the forwarded query. In VictoriaMetrics `extra_filters` is ANDed into every selector of the query, so even a raw client-supplied PromQL cannot escape the tenant's own `namespace` (and release) scope. Always adding a scope filter and rejecting an empty one is the standard way to make a shared backend safe; `extra_filters` is VictoriaMetrics' documented mechanism for it. Because the filter is forced server-side, raw Prometheus passthrough is isolation-safe and no fixed metric catalog is required. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Two concerns. Both apply to a proxy just as much as to the subresource.
-
What "the release" filter matches on. cAdvisor series carry
namespace,podandcontainer.kubevirt_vmi_*carriesnamespaceandname. Neither has a release label, and the only generic link from an application to its pods is a join withkube_pod_labels, whichextra_filterscan't express. Stamping an application label onto per-app scrape objects wouldn't help either, because these series come from node-level scrapes (kubelet/cAdvisor, virt-handler). So the enforced filter should be namespace-only, stated explicitly. Per-app scoping is then a matter of which query the dashboard sends, which is fine because tenant roles are namespace-wide. -
Stripping caller parameters. Repeated
extra_filters/extra_filters[]values are OR-ed by vmselect, so a caller-suppliedextra_filters[]={namespace=~".+"}would widen the scope. Please build the upstream request from scratch:- copy only allowlisted parameters (
query,start,end,step,time,match[], a clampedtimeout); - inject the namespace matcher server-side;
- add a test where the caller tries
extra_filters,extra_filters[]andextra_label.
- copy only allowlisted parameters (

| ## Security | ||
|
|
||
| - **Trust boundary:** `cozystack-api` issues queries to `vmselect` on behalf of users. The forced `extra_filters` is server-decided; a client-supplied query is passed through only after the tenant filter is ANDed into every selector, so it cannot widen past the tenant. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Please add a note on where the labels come from. The forced filter keeps reads safe, but a namespace label in the shared store doesn't prove where a series came from. tenant-root's vminsert accepts remote-write at account 0 from tenant workloads; nested Kubernetes clusters write their metrics there by design, and their tenants administer those agents. So a tenant can write series labelled with another tenant's namespace. That can't leak data, but it can make another tenant's graphs show fabricated numbers, or push their queries over the series limits.
At minimum, state this and link it to the "foundational multi-tenancy" item. Better, say which write-path control would close it: a vmauth on the write path, per-writer accounts, or similar.
| - **Trust boundary:** `cozystack-api` issues queries to `vmselect` on behalf of users. The forced `extra_filters` is server-decided; a client-supplied query is passed through only after the tenant filter is ANDed into every selector, so it cannot widen past the tenant. | ||
| - **Why not `services/proxy` to `vmselect`:** coarse authz, no forced filter, leaks across tenants on the shared store. | ||
| - **No stored credentials:** `cozystack-api` reaches `vmselect` with its own identity and authorizes callers by delegated kube authn, unlike a `vmauth` path which would require per-tenant tokens. | ||
| - **Query cost:** since raw PromQL is accepted, the handler must bound it (max range, step, series, timeout) to protect `vmselect`; this replaces a fixed catalog as the abuse control. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Could this list concrete defaults and where each one is enforced: max range, minimum step or max points per series, max series, timeout and per-user concurrency? Some can only be set as vmselect flags, which are global. Others the proxy can check per request. The tenant-root vmselect also serves platform Grafana, alerting, opencost, VPA and KEDA, so tenant raw-PromQL competes with autoscaling and alerting. A dedicated proxy is the natural place for per-user concurrency and rate limits. A separate vmselect for tenant queries is worth considering too.
|
|
||
| ## Failure and edge cases | ||
|
|
||
| - Tenant has no dedicated monitoring stack (empty label): resolves to `tenant-root` where the series are (see Design 4); this is the common case, not a failure. The genuine no-store case (not even `tenant-root` has monitoring) is not a normal deployment; if it occurs, return an empty Prometheus result with a warning, not an error. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Following on from line 117: the empty-label case is effectively unreachable. The failure that does happen is a tenant with its own monitoring stack whose resource metrics aren't in that stack. Please cover that case instead.

| - **Handler mechanism: decided `rest.Connecter`.** The goal is a native Prometheus passthrough (GET, forward the `api/v1/query_range` tail, return the backend body unchanged), which is exactly what `Connecter` (the `pods/proxy` pattern) does. `GetterWithOptions` + `ResourceStreamer` is for a single self-produced stream, the right tool for logs, not for proxying a request and its response. | ||
| - **Tenant-wide aggregate ("all my databases"): deferred, as a `Tenant` subresource.** The first cut is per-object only. A tenant-wide view is a follow-up implemented as a `metrics` subresource on the `Tenant` (also `apps.cozystack.io`), which keeps the free RBAC and avoids the `list` field-selector quirk; a top-level resource is rejected for losing both. |

This doesn't keep the free RBAC. A Tenant object lives in its parent's namespace: tenant foo is an application in tenant-root, and it creates namespace tenant-foo. The tenant chart binds foo's groups only inside tenant-foo. So get tenants/metrics would be checked in tenant-root, where foo's own users have no binding. Only ancestors could read it. With a namespace-scoped proxy, the tenant-wide view is just a wider query on the same endpoint.

|
||
| - **Standalone aggregation API with a `MetricQuery` kind (this proposal's earlier revision).** A new `metrics.cozystack.io` API server, storage-less, returning structured series in a Kubernetes object. Rejected in the design discussion: it wraps every response in a kube `apiVersion`/`kind` envelope, forces a second kube-style API spec and a second dashboard client to maintain, and adds a new server and E2E surface, for no benefit over a reverse-proxy subresource that returns native Prometheus JSON. | ||
| - **A separate-group virtual resource.** A dedicated `metrics.*` virtual resource in its own API group. Rejected: being in a different group from the target resource means RBAC is not free (it would need a custom `SubjectAccessReview` and two-rule roles), which is exactly the cost the subresource avoids. | ||
| - **vmauth or a thin self-written proxy to Victoria, bypassing the Kubernetes API.** The simplest infrastructure, and `vmauth` can force per-tenant isolation via `extra_filters`. Rejected as the primary because its authorization is `vmauth`-native (its own tokens or a JWT with a tenant claim), not Kubernetes RBAC, so it needs per-tenant credentials or an OIDC-JWT-to-tenant mapping and a second auth path in the dashboard. Kept as a fallback if the subresource wiring proves too awkward; cozystack already runs `vmauth` for traces. Decision criterion from the discussion: take the subresource route only if it buys Kubernetes RBAC cheaply (it does) and `vmauth` cannot isolate per tenant without bespoke credentials (it cannot, cleanly). |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
These two shouldn't be grouped together. It's true that vmauth can't do Kubernetes RBAC on its own. A thin proxy can:
- it accepts the same bearer token the dashboard already sends to kube-apiserver, so the dashboard needs no second auth path;
- it validates that token with a
TokenReview; - it authorizes with a
SubjectAccessReviewagainst a namespaced permission; - it enforces the namespace label itself.
The rejection criterion here only tests vmauth. Per the top-level comment, I think this should be the chosen design, with the subresource moved into Alternatives along with the costs listed there.
…front of vmselect Per maintainer review, drop the Kubernetes aggregated-API/subresource shape and route metrics through a small stateless authorizing proxy (TokenReview + SubjectAccessReview + prom-label-proxy label enforcement) instead, keeping Kubernetes identity and RBAC while keeping query traffic out of the control plane. Fix the store resolution (resource metrics always live in tenant-root, not a tenant's own stack), enforce a namespace-only matcher built from an allowlist (caller extra_filters/extra_label are dropped), document the write-path trust gap and concrete query-cost limits, and move the subresource and MetricQuery shapes into Alternatives with their costs. State reasoning directly instead of referring to an off-list discussion. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>

Specify the proxy ServiceAccount’s delegated-auth permissions.
The proposal requires the proxy to create TokenReview and SubjectAccessReview requests. The tenant aggregated rule authorizes callers but does not grant these permissions to the proxy ServiceAccount. Document and verify a least-privilege grant before Phase 1. Without it, the proxy cannot authenticate or authorize requests, and reads will fail.

Make the write-path control a prerequisite to proxy exposure.
Design 6 says tenant-controlled writers can label series with another tenant’s namespace. If Phase 1 exposes the proxy before that control is active, the other tenant’s graphs can show fabricated metrics. This conflicts with calling the control a foundational prerequisite while scheduling it in parallel. Gate proxy exposure on the write-path control. (github.com)

Thanks for the thorough review, and for working through the details even though it reversed the earlier direction. The proxy argument is convincing, and it lines up with what we landed on in a separate monitoring discussion, so I reworked the proposal to an authorizing proxy in front of vmselect (TokenReview + SubjectAccessReview, with prom-label-proxy-style namespace enforcement; kube-rbac-proxy + prom-label-proxy off the shelf, or a small Go service). The subresource and the MetricQuery shapes are now in Alternatives with the costs you listed. The correctness points that apply regardless of shape are folded in:
One open item I'd value your take on: who owns the per-kind PromQL, the SPA shipping a query set per application kind, or a field on the ApplicationDefinition. |
… observability.cozystack.io virtual resource Per reviewer proposal: add the optional per-application scope (4a) via OR-ed extra_filters[] branches with a pod/PVC lookup through kube_pod_labels, name the virtual resource observability.cozystack.io with a */metrics subresource and the SubjectAccessReview mapping (so metrics-read is gated separately from app-read and */log is reserved for the logs proposal), and add the metrics/ path segment. Implement as one small Go service, since prom-label-proxy cannot OR branches or strip extra_filters[]. Rebuild the upstream request from an allowlist in URL and POST form, gate proxy exposure on the write-path control, and add the kube-state-metrics PVC-label and VM-series rollout prerequisites and the matching tests.

… proxy Per maintainer review, now that metrics (#94) is a proxy the subresource-vs-top-level asymmetry is gone, so logs move to the same stateless authorizing proxy in front of vlselect, under the same observability.cozystack.io group with a */log subresource at use. Forced extra_stream_filters namespace scope and an allowlist rebuild (AccountID/ProjectID set server-side), live tail without the 60s kube-apiserver cut, application scope by lineage labels plus a pod lookup, and a Fluent Bit collection change (lineage labels plus Merge_Log_Key) that both enables per-application filtering and closes the crafted-namespace forgery. Post-mortem now comes from collection, not the resource shape. Top-level resource and log subresource move to Alternatives. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: IvanHunters <[email protected]>

Thanks, this is a strong addition. I adopted the application scope (4a) as specified: OR-ed extra_filters[] branches with the pod/PVC lookup through kube_pod_labels, empty branches dropped, the effective window computed with metricsql.Parse, lists capped. The virtual resource is now observability.cozystack.io with the */metrics subresource and the SubjectAccessReview mapping (B.2), which is what gives separate gating from app-read and reserves */log for #95, and section 2 carries the metrics/ segment. The implementation is the one Go service, since prom-label-proxy cannot OR branches or strip extra_filters[]; the upstream request is rebuilt from the allowlist in both URL and POST form, which also closes the extra_filters[] bypass, with a test. Rollout now carries the kube-state-metrics PVC-label and VM-series (#4219) prerequisites and gates proxy exposure on the write-path control. |
|
Thanks, I went through the new revision: the application scope, the observability.cozystack.io mapping and the metrics/ segment are all in as intended, and the allowlist rebuild for both URL and POST form is a good catch. Nothing further from my side on #94; resolving my inline threads since the changes are in. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks, IvanHunters, and thanks Maxim Kitsunoff (@kitsunoff) for the application scope. Several things in the 22 October revision look right to me: one Go service, the namespace as the boundary, the per-application scope as a feature, and the request rebuilt from an allowlist for both URL and form.
Some context first. A few questions sit underneath this proposal and are much broader than it:
- where node-level metrics get scraped, and how they reach per-tenant monitoring stacks;
- how application identity ends up on time series;
- where recording rules live and which stack evaluates them;
- who may write into which store;
- how per-application permissions are shipped.
We'll take those up as separate work on the monitoring stack and RBAC. I'm not asking #94 to solve them, only to stay compatible with them. Concretely:
1. Endpoints and authorization: mirror Kubernetes paths and RBAC, drop observability.cozystack.io.
I'd rather not introduce a new API group, even an RBAC-only one. The proxy can use the vocabulary we already have:
| Scope | Prometheus root served by the proxy | SubjectAccessReview |
|---|---|---|
| one application | /apis/apps.cozystack.io/v1alpha1/namespaces/<ns>/<plural>/<name>/metrics/ |
get, group apps.cozystack.io, resource <plural>, subresource metrics, name <name>, namespace <ns> |
| whole namespace | /apis/cozystack.io/v1alpha1/namespaces/<ns>/metrics/ |
list, group cozystack.io, resource metrics, namespace <ns> |
- Same contract, different paths. These replace the paths in §2 (line 86) and 4a (line 120). The Prometheus API sits under each root (
api/v1/query,query_range,series,labels,label/<name>/values). - The proxy serves these paths, not kube-apiserver. The dashboard's nginx routes them to the proxy ahead of its general
/apisrule. The version segment matches the groups' current version and plays no part in authorization. - Authorization attributes come from the path up to
metrics/, and they don't depend on the HTTP method. APOSTquery is stillgetorlist. - The per-application check works today. It matches the view role's
apps.cozystack.iowildcard, because an RBAC resource wildcard also matches subresources. - It also keeps working when grants get narrower. We'd like each application's package to ship its own rules eventually, e.g.
resources: [postgreses/metrics], optionally limited byresourceNames. The proxy needs no change for that. - The namespace-wide check needs one explicit rule for
metricsincozystack.io, aggregated into view. That's the only new grant, and view lists itscozystack.ioresources explicitly, so nothing else matches it by accident. - What to remove: please drop the
observability.cozystack.iogroup, the B.2 mapping table (§3, lines 88–109), and the*/metricsrule (line 175).
Because a grant can be narrowed to a single application with resourceNames, the per-application endpoint is an isolation boundary for such a user. Line 187 says otherwise. Please state it as a boundary, and add a test: a user holding only a grant for one application can't read another application's series in the same namespace through any endpoint, including series and the label endpoints.
2. Make store resolution a resolver, not a constant (§5, line 153). Tenants that run their own monitoring stack need to be served from it eventually. Today their stacks don't receive container or VM resource series, and fixing that is part of the broader work. So tenant-root is the correct answer for now, but please state it as one:
- §5 resolves each request namespace to a store. Today every namespace resolves to
tenant-root, because that's where the resource series are. - Drop "There is no per-tenant-stack resolution" (line 153) and "regardless of whether the tenant runs its own stack" (line 39).
- Turn the failure case on line 194 into a note on current state.
That way, serving stack-owning tenants later only changes the resolver.
3. Keep the application scope forward-compatible with identity labels on series. Longer term, we'd like series to carry their application's identity directly, so the application scope becomes a plain equality match:
- exporters inside an application's pods get it by scrape-time relabelling from the pod's lineage labels;
- node-level series such as cAdvisor and kube-state-metrics would need platform-side enrichment, which is part of the broader work.
For #94 that means:
- Name the labels once and make them the contract. Line 215 uses
cozystack_app_{group,kind,name}. Whatever we pick, I'd mirror the lineage keys the way kube-state-metrics sanitises them, i.e.apps_cozystack_io_application_{group,kind,name}. - Move the scrape-class relabel from "Optional" (line 215) into the design. It's the core mechanism for exporter series.
- Define the application scope by what it returns, not how. It returns the application's series within the namespace. Where series carry the identity labels, it matches on them. The pod/PVC lookup covers the node-level series that don't carry them yet, and becomes a fallback once they do.
- Kind versus plural: lineage labels carry the title-cased kind (
Postgres), while paths and RBAC use the plural (postgreses). The proxy maps one to the other through ApplicationDefinitions, as 4a already plans. Please keep that mapping in one place. - Drop the VM-specific branch (line 129). It's kind-specific knowledge in a core component, and application kinds aren't all core. A VM's host-side CPU, memory and pod-network usage is already covered by the pod branch through its virt-launcher pod. Guest-view
kubevirt_vmi_*series can join the scope once they carry the identity labels. - Optional, a simpler lookup window: every lookup error only narrows the result, so a fixed
[start − <lookback cap>, end]window is as safe as computing the exact lookback withmetricsql.Parse(line 144). It also leaves less code to replace later.
4. Don't take on dependencies that belong to elsewhere.
- VM series (line 211): #94 needs
kubevirt_vmi_*scraped once intotenant-root, by the KubeVirt package's own scrape object. That's the change requested in the review on cozystack/cozystack#4219. Please depend on that outcome rather than on #4219's current shape, which scrapes from every tenant's Monitoring. For v1 VM graphs, the virt-launcher pods' container series are enough anyway. - The exposure gate (lines 157, 211, 220): §6 now gates exposing the proxy on a write-path control that Open questions hasn't chosen yet, and choosing it is part of the broader work. Please keep the risk documented in §6, and leave the go/no-go to rollout. Exposure shouldn't depend on a mechanism #94 can't pick.
5. Smaller items
- The per-kind PromQL question was dropped from Open questions without an answer. The application endpoint largely answers it for container and volume metrics, since the dashboard can send the same queries to any kind's endpoint. Please say so. Kind-specific panels still need an owner.
- The proxy's own permissions:
createontokenreviewsandsubjectaccessreviews(system:auth-delegator);get/liston ApplicationDefinitions;- read on namespaces, for the resolver in point 2.
- Tenant Grafana (line 174):
- kube-apiserver only accepts a forwarded identity if Grafana's token was issued for the audience the apiserver's OIDC config expects. Otherwise it's a ServiceAccount token, and RBAC applies per datasource, not per user.
- Please also say which namespace the proxy runs in, and how a tenant namespace's allow-listed egress reaches it.
- Limits (line 163): please give default values, not just where each one is enforced.
- Header fields: drop Status and Date, per #111.
The same path and permission scheme would suit the logs read path in #95: .../<plural>/<name>/log per application, and logs in cozystack.io for the namespace. That's worth aligning there.
With these, I'm happy with the direction. Nothing here needs to wait for the broader work.
…drop the new API group
Per maintainer review: serve two Kubernetes-shaped roots (apps.cozystack.io/<plural>/<name>/metrics for one application, cozystack.io/metrics for a namespace) and authorize with the matching SubjectAccessReview instead of a new observability.cozystack.io group; state the per-application endpoint as an isolation boundary for a resourceNames-narrowed grant and test it; make store resolution a resolver that today returns tenant-root rather than a constant; name the identity labels apps_cozystack_io_application_{group,kind,name}, move the scrapeClass relabel into the design, define the application scope by what it returns, and drop the VM-specific branch; depend on kubevirt_vmi_* being scraped once into tenant-root rather than on #4219's current shape; stop gating proxy exposure on the unchosen write-path control and leave it a documented risk and a rollout decision; enumerate the proxy's own permissions and limit defaults; drop the Status and Date header fields per #111.

Thanks, IvanHunters, this addresses everything from my last review. Approving. A few follow-ups, none of them blocking; I trust you to fold them in:
-
Tenant Grafana's network path (§8, line 141). Neither part of "through the tenant namespace's allow-listed egress to
cozy-system/platform services, as the dashboard already does forvlselect" matches the tenant chart today. The tenant egress allowlist (packages/apps/tenant/templates/networkpolicy.yaml) admits:cozy-dashboard,cozy-linstor,cozy-keycloak;cozy-grafana-operator,cozy-kubevirt-cdi,cozy-kubevirt.
It admits neither
cozy-monitoring, where line 141 puts the proxy, norcozy-system. I also couldn't find any existingvlselectpath from tenants. Either add an allow rule for the proxy, shaped likeallow-to-dashboard, or run it in a namespace that's already allow-listed. The dashboard's own traffic is unaffected, since its nginx runs incozy-dashboard. -
A guard for the per-application boundary (line 159). The identity labels from the scrape-class relabel only win when the scrape doesn't honour the exporter's own labels. With
honorLabels: true, an exporter in application B's pod could emitapps_cozystack_io_application_name="a"and appear in application A's scope. A user granted only A would then see B's series. No application kind setshonorLabelstoday; only the ingress module does. One sentence would cover it: app scrapes must not sethonorLabels, or the scrape class drops exporter-supplied identity labels before setting its own. Please add a test that an exporter emitting another application's identity label stays out of that application's scope. -
Label sanitisation (line 117). The lineage keys contain a slash as well as dots (
apps.cozystack.io/application.kind), and both become underscores. -
"Lookback out of bounds" (line 172). With the fixed lookup window from line 121, the expression no longer needs parsing for its lookback. A short lookup only narrows the result, so "lookback" can come out of that bullet.
-
Optional: pin the label-API behaviour with a test (line 121). vmselect currently applies the extra filters on the label endpoints whenever
match[]is present, even with-search.ignoreExtraFiltersAtLabelsAPIset. The flag's help text says otherwise, so an e2e test against the version we ship would keep this from regressing silently.
CodeRabbit's open thread on line 86 refers to the dropped prom-label-proxy option and can be resolved.
Correct the tenant Grafana network path (the egress allowlist does not admit the proxy's namespace, so add an allow rule or run it in an allow-listed one), guard the per-application boundary against a forged identity label (the scrape relabel must win over honorLabels) and test it, note the slash as well as the dots in the sanitized label keys, drop lookback from the out-of-bounds case now that the lookup window is fixed, and add an e2e test pinning the label-endpoint filter behaviour against the shipped vmselect.

…5215) ## What this PR does Adds `persistentvolumeclaims=[*]` to the kube-state-metrics `--metric-labels-allowlist`, next to the existing `pods=[*]` and `deployments=[*]`. kube-state-metrics then publishes `kube_persistentvolumeclaim_labels`, one series per PVC, with the PVC's labels as `label_*`. Why: the per-application metrics scope in the design proposal [Tenant resource-consumption metrics](cozystack/community#94) (Phase 0) finds an application's volumes through the `apps.cozystack.io/application.*` lineage labels on its PVCs. Without this series, volume usage (`kubelet_volume_stats_*`, which carries `persistentvolumeclaim` but not `pod`) cannot be attributed to an application. `[*]` rather than an explicit key list: kube-state-metrics has no prefix matching, so the three lineage keys would have to be enumerated, and the series count is the same either way (one per PVC). `[*]` stays consistent with the existing pods and deployments entries and does not silently miss a lineage key added later. PVCs are far fewer than pods, which already export all labels. #### How it was tested - helm-unittest for `monitoring-agents`: a new suite asserts the exact flag in the rendered kube-state-metrics Deployment. - Verified on a test cluster: `kube_persistentvolumeclaim_labels` is present and carries `label_apps_cozystack_io_application_name`. - Not verified: the memory impact on kube-state-metrics. #### Known limitation PVCs created from a StatefulSet's `volumeClaimTemplates` usually have no owner reference and no Flux label, so the lineage webhook gives them no lineage labels and this series cannot attribute them to an application. Fixing that belongs to the lineage webhook. ### Screenshots No UI changes. ### Downstream repositories - [ ] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [ ] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/community](https://github.com/cozystack/community) - follow-up: Downstream: no trigger matched.

…horizing proxy (#5214) ## What this PR does Adds `observability-proxy`, a new system component that lets a tenant user read the logs of their own namespace from VictoriaLogs with the same Kubernetes credentials they already use for the console, and with Kubernetes RBAC deciding what they can read. This is the first part of the design proposals [Tenant application logs](cozystack/community#95) and [Tenant resource-consumption metrics](cozystack/community#94); this PR implements the namespace logs root only. Metrics and the per-application roots follow in separate PRs. Why a proxy: today the log stores are shared per root tenant and have no notion of a caller, so tenants cannot be given direct read access without seeing other tenants' logs. The proxy authenticates the caller, authorizes the request from its path, and rebuilds the upstream query so that its scope cannot be widened by the client. Backward compatibility: this adds a new package and a new HelmRelease; nothing existing is renamed, removed or changed, so no migration is needed. What is included: - `cmd/observability-proxy` and `internal/observabilityproxy`: the proxy. - Serves `/apis/cozystack.io/v1alpha1/namespaces/<ns>/logs/select/logsql/<endpoint>` for the VictoriaLogs read endpoints the console needs (`query`, `hits`, `stats_query_range`, `tail`, `field_values`, `stream_field_values`, `facets`). Anything else under the root answers `404`. - Authentication by `TokenReview`, authorization by one `SubjectAccessReview` built from the path (`list` on `cozystack.io/logs` in the namespace), both cached briefly. - The upstream request is rebuilt from an allowlist of parameters; the namespace scope is always forced as `extra_stream_filters`. Client-supplied `extra_filters`, `extra_stream_filters`, any LogsQL `options(...)` block, and tenant headers such as `AccountID`/`ProjectID` are not forwarded or are refused. - Non-canonical paths (`..`, `//`, encoded separators) are refused with `400` before any authorization is built, because the console nginx matches on the normalized path but forwards the raw one. - Time window, step, bucket count and result limits are clamped; per-user rate, concurrency and open-tail limits answer `429`. Invalid time, step and limit parameters answer `400`. - The store is resolved from the namespace's `namespace.cozystack.io/monitoring` label. - Live `tail` streams are passed through unbuffered, and the upstream tail request disables compression so headers reach the client before the first line. - `packages/system/observability-proxy`: chart and image build, wired into the root `make build`. - Platform wiring: a new `cozystack.observability-proxy` PackageSource, enabled by default on the full variants and opt-in on the slim ones, the same way as `monitoring-agents`. - RBAC: an aggregated `cozy:observability:view` ClusterRole grants `list` on `cozystack.io/logs` to tenant `view` and above. No API server serves this resource; the rule exists only for the proxy's `SubjectAccessReview`. The proxy's own ClusterRole is limited to the calls it makes (`tokenreviews`, `subjectaccessreviews`, `list`/`watch` on namespaces). - Console nginx: when the proxy is not installed or cannot be reached, the observability roots answer `404` with a Kubernetes `Status` body, which the console shows as not available on this cluster; the proxy's own `502`/`504` for an unreachable store pass through unchanged. - Console: one regex `location` in the console nginx routes the four observability roots to the proxy ahead of `/apis`. The upstream is resolved at request time, so the console starts even when the proxy is not installed; those paths then answer `404` with a Kubernetes `Status` body. The console Deployment now receives the cluster domain for that resolution. - E2E: a new Chainsaw suite `hack/e2e-chainsaw/observability-proxy/` with two tenants, covering `401`/`403`/`200`, scope-widening attempts, path normalization and a long-lived `tail`. #### How it was tested - `go test -race` and `go vet` for the proxy packages. - helm-unittest for `observability-proxy`, `dashboard`, `tenant` and `core/platform`; bats tests for the console nginx routing. - The Chainsaw suite was not run as-is: it deploys its own VictoriaLogs as the root store and refuses to run when a real one exists. Its cases were replayed by a script against the real store on a test cluster. - Verified on a test cluster: - `401` without a token and with an invalid token, `403` for another tenant's namespace, `200` for the caller's own. - Client `extra_stream_filters`/`extra_filters` (GET and POST), an `AccountID` header and another tenant's stream named inside the query do not widen the scope; `options(...)` answers `400`; a path with `..` pointing at another tenant answers `400`; an endpoint outside the allowlist answers `404`. - Through the full browser chain (OIDC login, gatekeeper, gateway, console nginx), a single `tail` stayed open for more than two minutes without reconnecting, and requests from the same session to other tenants' roots answered `403`. - Not verified: the `429` limits under real load. `golangci-lint` has not been run locally. #### Known limitations - The proxy is reachable only through the console route; tenant workloads have no egress rule to it. Every request takes its concurrency or tail slot before the body is read; the token and access reviews and the body read run under `--request-timeout`, so a stalled kube-apiserver answers `503` rather than holding the request; and writes to the client carry a deadline (renewed per line for tails). `--request-timeout=0` disables those bounds and should not be used in production. - The first lines a newly started pod writes can be missing from an already open `tail`, although they are in the store. The likely cause is that Fluent Bit picks up a new log file later than the VictoriaLogs live-tail window; later lines of the same pod arrive. A history query shows them. - The per-application roots (`.../<plural>/<name>/log`, `.../metrics`) and the namespace metrics root answer `404` in this PR. ### Screenshots No UI changes. ### Downstream repositories - [ ] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [x] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: cozystack/website#787 (docs land once the implementation PRs merge) - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/community](https://github.com/cozystack/community) - follow-up: Downstream: `cozystack/website` is reached.

## What this PR does
Adds a default scrape class `application-identity` to both VMAgents: the
cluster-wide one in `monitoring-agents` and the per-tenant one in
`monitoring`. Every series scraped from a pod that carries the lineage
labels `apps.cozystack.io/application.{group,kind,name}` gets them as
`apps_cozystack_io_application_{group,kind,name}`.
Why: the per-application metrics scope in the design proposal [Tenant
resource-consumption
metrics](cozystack/community#94) (Design 4a)
needs to tell which application an exporter series belongs to. Today
that is only possible indirectly, through pod names.
How the labels are protected against forgery by an exporter:
- At the target stage, the class always sets all three labels: to the
pod's real lineage value, or to a placeholder `-` when the pod has none
(`-` is not a valid Kubernetes label value). With `honorLabels: false`,
any copy the exporter publishes therefore collides with the target label
and is renamed to `exported_*`.
- At the metric stage, the class drops every `exported_*` copy.
- The placeholder is removed by the VMAgent's global remote-write
relabeling (`inlineRelabelConfig`), not at the metric stage: vmagent
adds `up` and `scrape_*` with the target labels after metric relabeling,
so only the remote-write stage sees those series. Targets without
lineage therefore keep exactly the label set they have today on every
series, including `up` and `scrape_*`.
- With `honorLabels: true` the exporter's value wins and no relabel rule
can tell it apart. ingress-nginx scrapes with `honorLabels: true`, and
its series describe Ingress objects in any namespace, so the
controller's identity would misattribute traffic; its scrape now drops
the identity labels explicitly, from the target (so `up` and `scrape_*`
stay unchanged) and from the scraped samples (so an exporter's copy
cannot survive). Switching it to `honorLabels: false` was not done,
because that renames `namespace` and breaks the existing ingress
dashboards.
#### How it was tested
- helm-unittest for `monitoring-agents`, `monitoring` and `ingress`.
These tests check the rendered config only; the relabeling behaviour was
verified offline by running vmagent v1.136.0, built from source, against
the rendered rules: `up` and `scrape_*` carry no identity for targets
without lineage, and the placeholder appears on no series.
- The rendered `scrapeClasses` validate against the vendored VMAgent CRD
schema.
- The rendered rules were exercised on a locally built vmagent v1.136.0
(the version the bundled operator deploys) writing to a local
VictoriaMetrics: with and without lineage, with and without a forging
exporter, `honorLabels` true and false, and the ingress-nginx endpoint
rules. Checked on exporter samples and on `up`, `scrape_samples_scraped`
and `scrape_series_added`; the previous rules reproduce the `-`
placeholder on the generated series of targets without lineage, the new
ones leave no placeholder on any series.
- Verified on a test cluster with the earlier revision that removed the
placeholder at the metric stage (the move to remote-write relabeling is
not yet verified on a cluster): series carry the application labels;
metrics read for a Redis instance through the per-application proxy root
contained only that instance's pods; vmagent logs show no errors.
#### Known limitations
- Scrapes with `honorLabels: true` other than ingress-nginx are not
protected against an exporter that publishes the identity labels itself.
Today these are the vendored qdrant and harbor ServiceMonitors; their
exporters are platform images with fixed label names, and their series
describe the application's own pods.
- A tenant's raw `vmagent.inlineScrapeConfig` bypasses scrape classes
entirely, and so do `additionalScrapeConfigs`. VMProbe takes only auth
settings from a scrape class (operator v0.68.4); no VMProbe exists in
the platform today.
- A scrape object's own relabel rules run after the class and can
overwrite the labels; tenants cannot create VictoriaMetrics operator
objects, so this is platform-controlled.

Downstream: no trigger matched. Candidate: none affected, because the
diff changes templates and tests in `packages/system/monitoring-agents`,
`packages/system/monitoring` and `packages/extra/ingress` without
adding, renaming or removing a package and without touching any
`values.yaml` or schema. The telemetry metrics the telemetry server
reads (`cozy_cluster_info`, `cozy_application_count`) are produced by
the operator, not by these scrapes. The proposal text in
`cozystack/community` (#94, Design 4a) should be corrected to name
qdrant and harbor as further `honorLabels: true` scrapes; that is not a
trigger-map item.
### Release note
```release-note
feat(monitoring): VMAgent now adds `apps_cozystack_io_application_{group,kind,name}` labels to every series scraped from a pod that carries application lineage labels. Because the label set of those series changes, each of them becomes a new series after the upgrade: graphs and dashboards show a break at the rollout, queries over a range that spans it see two series per pod, and alert `for:` timers on those series restart. Series of targets without lineage labels, including node-level series (cAdvisor, kubelet) and kube-state-metrics, and all ingress-nginx series keep their current label set; this includes their `up` and `scrape_*` series.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Improvements**
* Monitoring metrics now use application identity labels derived from
Kubernetes pod metadata for covered scrape targets. Exporter-supplied
duplicates and placeholder values are removed, including from `up` and
`scrape_*` metrics.
* Ingress metrics no longer retain application identity labels at either
target or metric relabeling stages.

## What this PR does Depends on #5214. This PR is stacked on that branch; the description covers only what it adds on top. Backward compatibility: this adds a new package and a new HelmRelease; nothing existing is renamed, removed or changed, so no migration is needed. Adds the namespace metrics root to the observability proxy, as described in the design proposal [Tenant resource-consumption metrics](cozystack/community#94). A tenant user can query the metrics of their own namespace from VictoriaMetrics with their Kubernetes credentials, without seeing other tenants' series. What is added: - Serves `/apis/cozystack.io/v1alpha1/namespaces/<ns>/metrics/api/v1/{query,query_range,series,labels,label/<name>/values}`, GET and POST. Anything else under the root answers `404`. - Authorization by one `SubjectAccessReview` (`list` on `cozystack.io/metrics` in the namespace); the aggregated tenant `view` role gains that rule. - The upstream request is rebuilt from an allowlist (`query`, `start`, `end`, `step`, `time`, `match[]`, `timeout`). The scope is a single forced `extra_filters[]={namespace="<ns>"}`; client-supplied `extra_filters`, `extra_filters[]` and `extra_label` are dropped, because vmselect would OR them with the forced filter. The query itself is not rewritten. - Label endpoints always carry a `match[]` (the namespace scope when the client sent none), so they stay scoped even if vmselect's `-search.ignoreExtraFiltersAtLabelsAPI` is ever enabled. - Cost limits: maximum range (30 days), maximum points (11000), and a clamped `timeout` (30 seconds); query-shape limits answer `422`, the concurrency limit answers `429`. Times are accepted as unix seconds or RFC3339; durations are rounded up to whole milliseconds before limits are checked. - Store selection between the short-term and long-term VictoriaMetrics stores, configured by new chart values (`observabilityProxy.metrics`). #### Store selection: a known limitation and an open question The proxy has to send each query to the short-term store (3 days of retention, finer deduplication) or the long-term store. The choice depends on how far back the query reads, which is not only the request window but also the windows, subquery steps and offsets inside the expression. The current implementation estimates that lookback with a conservative scan of the expression text, not with a parser. It sums every `[...]` window and subquery step, every positive `offset`, and allowances for implicit subqueries and vmselect's default step and latency offset. Anything it cannot read with certainty (`@`, `WITH` templates, step multiples such as `5i`, template variables, unusual duration syntax) goes to the long-term store. The query is forwarded unchanged, so the estimate affects only the store choice, never the scope. This is a heuristic. It is designed to err only towards the long-term store, which holds the same recent data at coarser deduplication, so a wrong guess returns coarser data rather than missing data in most cases. A very short `rate` window sent to the long-term store can still come back empty. Two review rounds each found new expressions the scan underestimated, which were then fixed; there may be more. Open question for reviewers: should the scan be replaced by parsing the expression with `github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metricsql` (the library vmselect itself uses), only for the store choice? That gives an exact lookback at the cost of a new Go dependency. The namespace scope would still be enforced by vmselect through the single `extra_filters[]`, so the isolation design does not change either way. A user-visible consequence of counting the lookback: a range whose start sits right at the short-term retention edge (for example "last 3 days") now goes to the long-term store. #### How it was tested - `go test -race` and `go vet` for the proxy packages; table tests for the lookback estimate, including mutation checks of the `@` and unparseable-window cases. - helm-unittest for `observability-proxy` (new args and the tenant role rule). - Verified on a test cluster: `401` and `403` where expected; results contain only the caller's namespace; a query naming another tenant's namespace and a client-supplied `extra_filters[]` return nothing extra; `query_range`, `label/<name>/values` and `series` are scoped; an admin endpoint answers `404`. - Not verified: the limits under load, and the store choice on windows longer than 3 days (the test cluster had less than an hour of data). #### Known limitations - Relative times (`start=-1h`, `end=now`) are refused with `400`, while the logs root accepts durations. The console sends unix seconds, so it is not affected. - The proxy bounds the evaluation window, the step, the number of points of `query_range` and the timeout, not how far an expression reads: windows and offsets inside the expression (`up[10y]`, `x[30d:1ms]`, `offset 20d`) are bounded only by the store's retention and vmselect's own limits. - Times and durations are sent in a form vmselect parses exactly (RFC3339 with milliseconds for times, durations that truncate to the checked milliseconds); times outside 1970..2262 are refused with `400`. A test repeats vmselect's parsing of the exact strings the proxy sends. - `--metrics-max-range` defaults to 30 days while the longterm store keeps 14, so the older part of a long range comes back empty rather than refused. The two should be aligned or documented. - The store estimate errs towards longterm: deeply nested expressions with a large step can go to longterm although shortterm holds the data, and longterm deduplicates at 5 minutes, so short windows such as `rate(x[1m])` can come back sparse there. - The `namespace` label is only as trustworthy as the writer. Any pod in a child tenant may write to the vminsert of every ancestor tenant (`packages/apps/tenant/templates/networkpolicy.yaml`), and vminsert does not authenticate writers, so a child tenant can write series labelled with another tenant's namespace. Through this proxy the owner of that namespace would see those series as its own, and a flood of them could push its queries over the series limit. Reading another tenant's data is not possible this way. The write path predates this PR and already affects the root tenant's dashboards and alerts; closing it needs the write side to mark untrusted series, for example a vmauth in front of vminsert that forces an `extra_label` the proxy then excludes. ### Screenshots No UI changes. ### Downstream repositories - [ ] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [ ] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/community](https://github.com/cozystack/community) - follow-up: Downstream: no trigger matched.

Ranges are limited to 30 days and 11000 points. ``` <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> <!-- coderabbit-ai-generated:v1 --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * The observability proxy now supports tenant-scoped metrics queries alongside logs. * Metrics requests are routed to short- or long-term stores based on their time range, with configurable retention and query limits. * Metrics access is subject to tenant authorization, request validation, and concurrency limits. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
## What this PR does Adds logs and resource-consumption views to the console, backed by the observability proxy from the design proposals [Tenant application logs](cozystack/community#95) and [Tenant resource-consumption metrics](cozystack/community#94). This PR is useful only together with #5214, which adds the console nginx route to the proxy. The application tabs need #5219 and the per-application roots from its follow-up PR. Until those are installed, each view shows a quiet "not available on this cluster" state instead of an error, so the order of merging does not break the console. What is added: - A "Logs" page at the namespace level, under a new "Observability" sidebar group, reading the namespace logs root. It lives at `/console/-/observability/logs`: every one- or two-segment console path is an application list or detail page, and `-` cannot start an application plural or name, so the page never shadows an application's own pages. - "Logs" and "Metrics" tabs on application pages (every application kind except VMDisk, which runs no containers), reading the per-application roots. - Logs view: - time range, a LogsQL filter, and pod and container pickers that turn into a stream filter; - "Follow" opens a live tail. The status shows "Live" as soon as the stream is open, even before the first line; on a dropped stream or a load refusal (`429`) it reconnects from the newest line seen, with backoff; it stops on `400`/`401`/`403`/`404`; - the reader can scroll up while lines stream; the newest 1000 lines are kept; - while a new range or filter loads, the previous lines stay on screen with a note saying so, or the view says it is loading; it never reports "no lines" for a query it has not read yet. - Metrics view: per-pod CPU and memory charts and application-wide network charts, refreshed every minute, with ranges from 1 hour to 7 days. The `rate` window is at least 5 minutes and four steps, so queries routed to the long-term store (coarser deduplication) still return data. No query names a namespace or kind; the proxy adds the scope. - Error handling by proxy status: scope-wide answers (`401`/`403`/`404`) replace the whole view with one notice; limit answers keep the proxy's own advice. A Kubernetes `Status` body on a proxy path means the request reached kube-apiserver instead of the proxy and is shown as "not available". - Shared UI pieces: an accessible `Select` and a text `Input` matching the console's controls, and an `EmptyState`. - `K8sClient.raw()` for untyped requests over the same credential path as `/apis`; the client now keeps caller headers given in any form. - Charts use uPlot, loaded in a separate lazy chunk, so the main bundle does not grow. #### How it was tested - `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm test`, `pnpm lint` and `pnpm build` pass. - Screenshots of the views were taken against a mock API and on a test cluster. - Verified on a test cluster through the full browser chain (OIDC login, gatekeeper, gateway, console nginx, proxy), as a user with the `view` role in one tenant: the Logs page works; Follow keeps a single tail open for more than two minutes without reconnecting; Follow on a quiet filter shows "Live"; the Metrics tab of a Redis instance draws its charts; requests from the same session to another tenant's roots answer `403`. - Not verified: a screen reader (roles and names are asserted in tests only) and viewports narrower than 1440px. #### Known limitation The first lines a newly started pod writes can be missing from an already open tail, although a history query shows them. This comes from the log store's live-tail window relative to log collection delay, not from the console. ### Screenshots <img width="1440" height="900" alt="cluster-follow-live" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6efd9bfb-f05b-4498-bd20-0af4e5cda01f" /> <img width="1440" height="900" alt="cluster-logs-empty" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/673d8295-cd3d-409d-b871-290705d0a6a2" /> <img width="1440" height="900" alt="cluster-logs" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/621c2312-8427-4353-b199-44bdd12b78f7" /> <img width="1440" height="900" alt="cluster-pod-select" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/92ea9c72-4a3c-4562-9c3a-2170730ab085" /> <img width="1400" height="1000" alt="cluster-redis-metrics" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3533d069-01b9-41de-bba9-70b940d05c6e" /> <img width="1440" height="900" alt="follow-waiting" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/eb318d13-5188-4632-842a-43c0bbbcff5a" /> <img width="1440" height="900" alt="logs-empty" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c3d89e81-7249-444d-a3fa-9ab44c1ca86e" /> <img width="1440" height="900" alt="logs" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ec6caa9c-5eda-4361-99ea-359e5d002f04" /> <img width="1440" height="900" alt="metrics-empty" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/db16da15-a618-4dbe-a531-593bc9b916dc" /> ### Downstream repositories - [ ] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [ ] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/community](https://github.com/cozystack/community) - follow-up: Downstream: no trigger matched.

) ## What this PR does Depends on #5219. This PR is stacked on that branch; the description covers only what it adds on top. Adds the per-application roots to the observability proxy, as described in the design proposals [Tenant application logs](cozystack/community#95) and [Tenant resource-consumption metrics](cozystack/community#94): ```text /apis/apps.cozystack.io/v1alpha1/namespaces/<ns>/<plural>/<name>/log/select/logsql/<endpoint> /apis/apps.cozystack.io/v1alpha1/namespaces/<ns>/<plural>/<name>/metrics/api/v1/<endpoint> ``` This lets the console show the logs and resource consumption of one application rather than of the whole namespace. What is added: - Plural-to-Kind mapping from an informer over `ApplicationDefinitions`. The Kind is looked up only after the `SubjectAccessReview` (`get <plural>/log` or `get <plural>/metrics`), so an unauthenticated caller cannot probe which plurals exist. An unknown plural answers `404`; an unsynced cache or a plural declared by two kinds answers `503`. - Logs: a second `extra_stream_filters` value with the application Kind and name, on top of the unchanged namespace filter. VictoriaLogs ANDs the two, on every endpoint including `tail`. - Metrics: the forced `extra_filters[]` becomes an OR of three branches, each still bound to the namespace: 1. series carrying the application identity labels; 2. series of the application's pods, found through `kube_pod_labels`; 3. series of the application's PVCs, found through `kube_persistentvolumeclaim_labels`. - The pod and PVC lookups cap the number of names (`--metrics-app-max-pods`, `--metrics-app-max-pvcs`); over the cap answers `422`. A failed pod or PVC lookup fails the request (`502`, or `504` on the deadline) rather than answer without the application's series, and so does a lookup that vmselect marks `isPartial`, since a storage node that did not answer leaves names out (a partial list already over the cap still answers `422`); vmselect's series-limit refusal of a lookup is passed through as `422`. A query that reads further back than `--metrics-app-lookback` (default 720h, chart value `observabilityProxy.metrics.appLookback`), or by an unknown amount, and a query whose samples lie at a time the lookup cannot cover answer `422` on the application root; this includes every query with an `@` modifier, `WITH` with a negative offset, and offsets that are not plain durations. The namespace root still serves them. `rollup_candlestick`, a backslash or a `#` comment outside a string, an offset directly followed by a minus (compound durations such as `-1h-30m` or `1h-2h`), and a subquery step that is not a plain duration are refused as well. The lookup reaches past the evaluation time by any negative offset and by two steps per subquery level. - Application routes require read access to the namespace root as well as the application subresource; a grant narrowed with `resourceNames` alone answers `403`. - The proxy's ClusterRole gains `list`/`watch` on `cozystack.io/applicationdefinitions`. No tenant RBAC change is needed: the `view` role already allows `get` on every `apps.cozystack.io` resource and subresource. - `/readyz` now also waits for the `ApplicationDefinitions` cache, so a missing CRD or RBAC rule keeps the whole proxy unready, namespace roots included. #### Data comes from the identity labels The application roots find data only through identity labels added by three PRs that are now in main: - #5215 `feat(monitoring-agents)`: export PVC labels from kube-state-metrics (PVC branch). - #5216 `feat(monitoring)`: stamp application identity on scraped series (identity branch). - #5217 `feat(monitoring-agents)`: keep application identity in container log streams (logs root). Merge after #5219. The pod branch does not depend on them, because `kube_pod_labels` already exports all pod labels. Logs and series written before those changes rolled out carry no identity and are reachable only through the namespace root. #### Security condition: a convenience filter, not an isolation boundary The application roots narrow the namespace roots; they do not isolate applications from each other. Each application route therefore requires two grants: the application subresource (`get <plural>/log` or `get <plural>/metrics`) and read access to the namespace root (`list cozystack.io/logs` or `cozystack.io/metrics` in the namespace). A grant narrowed with `resourceNames` alone is refused. Every tenant role that can read applications already has both. The application scope cannot isolate yet because: 1. The lineage webhook keeps `apps.cozystack.io/application.*` labels that a user sets on a pod or PVC that has no application owner, so such an object can claim another application's identity. 2. The webhook's `objectSelector` skips any object created with `internal.cozystack.io/managed-by-cozystack`, pods included, so forged labels on such an object are never examined. 3. The pod and PVC branches match by name over the lookup window, so an object that reuses the name of another application's recently deleted pod or PVC pulls that object's older series into scope. The proposed fix (a separate change to the lineage webhook) is to strip the identity labels when no owner resolves, and to stop skipping CREATE requests for objects carrying the managed-by label. #### Other known gaps - PVCs created from a StatefulSet's `volumeClaimTemplates` usually get no lineage labels, so their volume series are not in the application scope. - ingress-nginx series intentionally carry no application identity, so they are reachable only through the namespace root. - A request for an application that does not exist answers `200` with an empty result rather than `404`: the proxy checks authorization, not existence. Nothing leaks; whether a `404` is wanted is open for review. #### How it was tested - `go test -race` and `go vet` for the proxy packages, including a narrowed-grant test (access to application `a` only): every application path for `b` answers `403` and no request reaches the store. Name escaping in the pod and PVC branches is covered for regex metacharacters and quotes. - helm-unittest for `observability-proxy` (new RBAC rule). - Verified on a test cluster, with the three identity PRs above applied: the application logs root of a Redis instance returned only that instance's lines and none from a neighbouring pod in the same namespace; its application metrics root returned only the Redis pods' series. ### Screenshots No UI changes. ### Downstream repositories - [ ] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [ ] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/community](https://github.com/cozystack/community) - follow-up: Downstream: no trigger matched.

This proposes exposing tenant resource-consumption metrics (CPU, memory, network) in the Cozystack dashboard through a small stateless authorizing proxy in front of vmselect: TokenReview + SubjectAccessReview for Kubernetes identity and RBAC, a forced namespace matcher (prom-label-proxy style) for isolation, and native Prometheus passthrough, so query traffic stays out of the control plane.
It is the read-path companion to the logs (#95) and alert-management (#96) proposals. Earlier drafts in this PR routed metrics through cozystack-api (a standalone metrics.cozystack.io API, then a subresource on apps.cozystack.io); both are now in Alternatives with the reasons the proxy is preferred, following maintainer review.
