Keith Wall commented on QPID-7799:
----------------------------------
Patch is now reviewable.
It gives the Broker and Virtualhost the responsibility for periodically writing
user-specific model statistics to the log. Statistic reporting can be enabled
dynamically without the need for a Broker or Virtualhost restart. The
statistics that are reported are also modifiable on the fly.
The user controls the reported statistics using a context variable named in the
following form {{qpid.<categoryclass>.statisticsReportPattern}} which, as
normal, can come from the environment, the object itself or an ancestor. This
approach gives the flexibility for statistic reporting to be enabled category
class wide (e.g. all queues) or for a single object instance. The context
value is free text with placeholders to interpolate statistic values e.g.
{{messagesIn=$\{messagesIn\}}}. There's provision for
datetime/duration/byteunit formatting to help the readability of the report
{{bytessIn=$\{bytesIn:bytevalue\}}}. {{ancestor}} references can be used to
interpolate object names into the statistics lines to add object and parent
names.
There are some parts missing from the patch. I want to hear comments first:
# Currently when setting a context variable from the REST API, the user is
required to PUT an object's context map. This runs the risk that the user will
accidentally lose an unrelated context value whilst trying to apply a statistic
context variable. We should add ConfiuredObject managed operations to allow a
context variable to be put/got/removed.
# Broker#resetStatistics should either be refactored so all statistics are
reset and have an analogous method on Virtualhost, or we should kill the
feature. I'm in favour of the latter.
# I killed {{statisticsReportingResetEnabled}} already but haven't added a
upgrader to remove the attribute value.
# This patch makes {{StatisticsCounter}} unnecessary. It should be replaced
with a simple AtomicLongs.

> To assist those running a service, the Broker should have the ability to
> write a periodic dump of ConiguredObject statistics to the log file. It
> should be possible to configure the statistics dumped at runtime and be
> configured on a per-category or per-object instance basis. Within a HA
> group, the configuration applied to objects belonging to a virtualhost must
> survive a mastership change.
