| NICo evaluates leak-related conditions from compute-tray sensor health and BMS leak events. It turns active conditions into health signals and, where configured, allocation protection. |

@zhaozhongn - Is it just compute tray or there are other sensors in rack that NICo can access through redfish ?

WalkthroughChangesLeak detection operations
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new operational guide could mislead operators about when rack health reports exist and when allocation protection remains active; in a multi-point fault scenario, protection may be described as safer than the current behavior supports. Merge should wait for the documentation to be corrected or qualified, along with a minor clarification that the API workflows are planned. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Pull request overview
Adds an Operations doc page describing the current NICo leak-detection health signals and allocation-protection workflow, and how it relates to the planned API work in issue #5018.
Changes:
- Documented the two current leak-related input paths: compute-tray (Redfish) sensor health and BMS MQTT event ingestion.
- Documented operational impact (health visibility +
PreventAllocations) and deployment prerequisites for the BMS event integration. - Outlined the “next phase” API-based workflow goals aligned with issue #5018.

| `PreventAllocations` blocks new allocations for hosts affected by the active rack-health condition. When BMS publishes a clear event, NICo removes the corresponding rack health report. NICo then recalculates aggregate health; allocation eligibility can recover when no other active health condition prevents allocation. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
When multiple supported BMS points are active for the same rack, this recovery description overstates the protection provided. HealthUpdater::handle_value_message removes the rack report by rack ID on any clear, while ApiClientWrapper::remove_rack_health_report always removes the single fixed dsx-exchange-consumer source; inserts likewise replace that source's previous report. Consequently, clearing one point can remove the alert for another still-active leak and allow allocation to recover. Document this source-wide behavior and unsupported multi-point scenario rather than implying recovery waits for every active BMS condition to clear.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
For the umbrella chart at this revision, helm/values.yaml sets nico-dsx-exchange-consumer.enabled: true, so an ordinary helm install enables the subchart by default. Only deployment-specific overlays such as helm-prereqs/values/nico-core.yaml disable it. Calling the subchart disabled by default gives operators the wrong expectation about what the chart renders; state the umbrella default and the overlay-specific override explicitly.

This new public operations page is not referenced anywhere in docs/index.yml, so it will not appear in the published Fern documentation navigation and readers cannot discover it through the operations section. Add operations/leak-detection.md to the appropriate navigation contents.

- Around line 61-69: Rewrite the BMS prerequisites section into separate groups
for rack health report creation and allocation protection. Keep the consumer,
MQTT, supported events, and NICo API requirements under report creation; move
health aggregation for relevant racks and hosts under allocation protection, and
clarify that missing allocation prerequisites prevent propagation to aggregate
host health or allocation decisions rather than report persistence. Verify the
referenced monitoring-health link and preserve clear operator-oriented wording.
- Around line 81-89: Update the leak-detection API description so it clearly
presents the workflows as planned rather than currently available: change the
introductory “API workflows expose” wording to future tense and revise the
remaining description consistently, including the statement about leak state and
handling workflow availability. Preserve the listed capabilities and existing
link.
- Line 57: Update HealthUpdater’s clear-event handling so a rack-level
PreventAllocations report is retained until every active BMS point for that rack
has cleared; avoid removing it solely because one point_path was cleared. Add a
regression test covering two faulting points on the same rack, clearing one, and
verifying protection remains until the second clears.

Retain rack protection until all active BMS points clear.
HealthUpdater stores state by point_path, but its clear branch calls remove_rack_health_report(&metadata.rack_id). If two BMS points on one rack are faulting, clearing one point can remove the rack-level PreventAllocations report while the other remains faulting. Update the consumer or qualify this documentation. Add a regression test for this sequence.

Separate report creation from allocation protection prerequisites.
Health aggregation is not required for the consumer to create a rack health report. The consumer persists the report after matching supported metadata and value events. (raw.githubusercontent.com) Health aggregation determines whether the report affects aggregate host health and allocation decisions. (github.com)
Rewrite this section into two groups: prerequisites for report creation and prerequisites for allocation protection. Line 69 currently says that no report exists when the actual failure may be missing allocation propagation.

Mark the API surface as planned.
As of August 27, 2026, issue #5018 remains an open epic describing requested API endpoints and fields. It does not establish that these APIs are available in the current deployment. (github.com)
Change “The API workflows expose” to “The planned API workflows will expose” and keep the remaining description in future tense.
