WalkthroughThe change adds shared OpenTelemetry propagation and optional OTLP exporting. It initializes tracing across Go services, adds Temporal and gRPC propagation, and exposes Helm values for extra environment variables and tracing configuration. ChangesOpenTelemetry tracing
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change improves trace propagation, but termination may lose some buffered telemetry and a chart override can be ignored because TEMPORAL_QUEUE may be emitted twice.

Nothing under rest-api/ calls otel.SetTextMapPropagator outside tests, so OpenTelemetry's default -- a no-op propagator that reads and writes nothing -- is what every production consumer of the global gets: site-workflow/pkg/grpc/client/core_client.go otelgrpc -> the Rust core site-workflow/pkg/grpc/client/flow_client.go otelgrpc -> flow api/internal/server/server.go Temporal client interceptor workflow/cmd/workflow/main.go Temporal worker interceptor site-agent/.../workflow/orchestrator.go Temporal client + worker Every one of those is correctly written. They have nothing to propagate WITH, which is why an inbound traceparent never survives the Go tier: a trace dump taken against this tree showed 3183 of 3183 inbound Core requests arriving as fresh roots. That is the correct behaviour for a caller that sends no traceparent, not a defect in the Core -- it calls set_span_parent_from_headers on every request and roots only when nothing valid arrives. InstallPropagator sets W3C trace context plus baggage and is called first in each of the five binaries, before any interceptor or stats handler captures the global. Deliberately independent of whether tracing is "enabled" and of whether a TracerProvider is installed. Those decide whether a process RECORDS spans; this decides whether it PASSES CONTEXT THROUGH. With no TracerProvider the global tracer returns a non-recording span that still carries the inbound SpanContext, so a service that exports nothing can still relay context faithfully to one that does. Only W3C is injected. Inbound OpenTracing callers are handled where they arrive; a composite here would stamp ot-tracer-* onto every outbound gRPC and Temporal call in the tier, including those to the Core, which reads W3C only. The site-manager image needs common/ copied now that it imports this -- the other four already do. Signed-off-by: NJ Skalski <nskalski@nvidia.com>
…NAME
Both site-workflow gRPC clients attach their otelgrpc client handler only
when LS_SERVICE_NAME is set:
if os.Getenv("LS_SERVICE_NAME") != "" {
handler := otelgrpc.NewClientHandler(...)
client.dialOpts = append(client.dialOpts, grpc.WithStatsHandler(handler))
}
LS_SERVICE_NAME is Lightstep's variable -- the name their OTel launcher reads
alongside LS_ACCESS_TOKEN -- and no chart in this repo sets it. The handler
was therefore never attached on any deployment, and neither client has ever
injected traceparent.
The Core client is the LAST hop out of the Go tier, so this one dead
conditional severs every inbound trace one step short of a Core that extracts
correctly. Measured against a sandbox that deploys both planes and drives the
an end-to-end provisioning flow: Core spans with a parent emitted by another
service went from 8 to 234 when this came off, and site-agent emits
forge.Forge/* client spans for the first time.
The tier was originally instrumented against Lightstep and the tree still
carries the traces of it -- a TODO about lightstep in
cert-manager/pkg/core/httpservice.go, and otel.Tracer(os.Getenv(
"LS_SERVICE_NAME")) in a site-agent test. When Lightstep stopped being
deployed, W3C propagation on this hop went with it, silently, because the
code still reads instrumented.
Requires the global propagator to be installed to do anything, which the
preceding commit does.

Two problems, both at the front door.
otelecho was configured with WithPropagators(otprop.OT{}). WithPropagators
REPLACES the default rather than adding to it, so the reader understood
OpenTracing headers and nothing else, and the traceparent that every W3C
caller sends was never read. Now a composite of TraceContext, Baggage and OT: Extract tries
each in turn, so existing OpenTracing callers keep working unchanged.
And the chart shipped tracing.enabled: false, which gates the middleware
above AND nico-rest-api's Temporal client tracing interceptor in the same
if. With it off, the ingress is not instrumented at all, so the first fix
would have had no effect on a default deployment.
Signed-off-by: NJ Skalski <nskalski@nvidia.com>
Both site ClientPools build their Temporal client with no Interceptors field at all: api/pkg/client/site/temporal.go workflow/pkg/client/site/temporal.go EVERY SiteTaskQueue workflow goes out through them -- CreateInstanceV2, DeleteInstanceV2, RebootInstanceV2, UpdateInstance, CreateTenant, and ExecuteCoreGRPC's generic Core gRPC proxy -- so nothing crossing the cloud/site boundary carried the caller's trace. InitTemporalClients (api/internal/server/server.go) does register this interceptor, which is why the omission reads as deliberate and is not: that client is the CLOUD namespace one, and nothing on the site path uses it. A request could be extracted correctly at the ingress and still arrive at the site with no context. Unconditional, matching the worker on the far end rather than the cloud client's tracingEnabled gate. The interceptor only reads context and hands it to the global propagator; with no TracerProvider the global tracer returns a non-recording span that still carries the inbound SpanContext, so this relays context without recording anything. Measured: with this in place, site-agent spans appear as children of nico-rest-api spans for the first time -- 16 of them across the boundary in a single end-to-end provisioning run. Signed-off-by: NJ Skalski <nskalski@nvidia.com>
workflowOrchestrator declares clientInterceptors and workerInterceptors and wires both into its Temporal clients and worker, but nothing ever puts a tracing interceptor in either slice. site-agent is the far end of every SiteTaskQueue workflow and the caller of the Core's gRPC, so this is where an inbound trace has to be picked up again after crossing from the cloud plane. Without it the context arrives and stops, and every Core call site-agent makes starts a fresh root. Unconditional rather than behind a config flag: site-agent has no tracing config of its own, and with no TracerProvider installed the interceptor costs a context read while the global tracer hands back the inbound span context unchanged. otelErr rather than err, because workflowOrchestrator declares `var err error` further down and := here would redeclare it in the same block. Signed-off-by: NJ Skalski <nskalski@nvidia.com>
The preceding commits make this tier RELAY context. It still RECORDS nothing: nothing under rest-api/ calls otel.SetTracerProvider, so nico-rest-api, nico-rest-workflow and site-agent export no spans at all. That is not merely incomplete, it is unfalsifiable. A trace dump shows the caller at one end and the Rust core at the other with three invisible hops between, so a parentage check cannot distinguish "the context never crossed" from "it crossed and the chain is not exportable" -- both look like a chain dying at an unexported parent. Every one of the fixes before this was argued over for several runs for exactly that reason. InstallTracerProvider wires an OTLP/gRPC exporter and a resource carrying service.name, which is what a dump groups by. InstallExporter is the func main() form: one line, no new imports at the call site, and no second err to shadow one already declared there. NO ENDPOINT, NO PROVIDER. It returns a no-op unless OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT or the _TRACES_ variant is set, so it stays inert where no collector is configured rather than failing startup or retrying against nothing. Endpoint, TLS, headers and timeouts all come from the standard OTEL_* environment, so turning it on is a deployment decision rather than a code change. A failure is logged and swallowed; a collector that is down must not stop a service from serving. The charts gain an extraEnv hook because nico-rest-api and both nico-rest-workflow deployments hardcode their env block, leaving no way to set that variable without editing a template. nico-rest-site-agent already has envConfig and needs nothing. Three added indirect dependencies. Taking otlptracegrpc at v1.44.0 to match the SDK pulls grpc and grpc-gateway up with it; pinned to v1.38.0 instead, so no existing dependency moves. Separable from the fixes: nothing above depends on this, and relaying works with no provider at all -- the global tracer returns a non-recording span that still carries the inbound SpanContext.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When nico-rest-workflow consumes an API-started Temporal workflow, installing the global propagator here does not extract the workflow header by itself. In this file, the interceptor assembled at lines 200–207 is omitted from the client options at line 225, and the worker options at lines 235–239 contain no worker interceptor, so the API → cloud-worker hop still loses its parent and subsequent site-client spans begin a separate trace. Attach the tracing interceptor to both the Temporal client and worker.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Correct, and thank you — this was the best catch of the three. tInterceptors is assembled and then never used: the client's Interceptors field is commented out and tsdkWorker.New receives none.
I originally skipped this file because NewTracingInterceptor was already present, and checked that it was constructed rather than that it was attached — the same failure mode as the LS_SERVICE_NAME gate this PR removes.
Fixed in a96bd1d: uncommented Interceptors: tInterceptors on the client, and added a wInterceptors []interceptor.WorkerInterceptor slice passed to tsdkWorker.New.

When the documented make docker-build-local workflow reaches the site-manager image, this new import cannot be resolved: docker/local/Dockerfile.nico-rest-site-manager copies only site-manager/ and cert-manager/ before running go build, unlike the updated production Dockerfile. Add the corresponding COPY common/ ./common/ to the local Dockerfile so the supported local image build continues to work.

Correct. I updated docker/production/Dockerfile.nico-rest-site-manager when site-manager gained the tracing import and missed the local one, so make docker-build-local would fail to resolve the package.
Fixed in a96bd1d.

…lt but unused Review catch. workflow/cmd/workflow/main.go assembles tInterceptors from a tracing interceptor and then never uses it: the client's Interceptors field is commented out, and tsdkWorker.New is given no Interceptors at all. So nico-rest-workflow neither extracts context on the workflows it runs nor injects it on the ones it starts, and the cloud-worker hop loses its parent even with every other fix in place. Same shape as the LS_SERVICE_NAME gate: instrumentation that reads as present and is inert. I skipped this file originally because NewTracingInterceptor was already here -- I checked that it was constructed, not that it was attached. Also copies common/ in the LOCAL site-manager Dockerfile. The production one was updated when this tier gained the tracing import; the local build used by make docker-build-local was not, so it fails to resolve the package. And extraEnv now refuses to set a variable the chart already manages. Duplicate names in a container's env are legal but ambiguous -- last value wins, and three-way merges on apply can drop both entries -- so a collision fails template rendering with the offending name.

Kubernetes core/v1 EnvVar duplicate environment variable names validation behavior container env list
💡 Result:
In Kubernetes, while environment variables within a container's env list are conceptually keyed by name, the system historically allowed the persistence of duplicate names in the spec [1][2]. However, defining duplicate environment variable names is strongly discouraged, as it causes significant issues with patching operations, such as those performed by kubectl apply [1][3][4]. Validation Behavior Historically, Kubernetes allowed duplicate environment variable names to be persisted [1][2]. Attempts to tighten validation have been made over time to prevent this behavior [5], but consistency can vary depending on the Kubernetes version and the specific mechanism used to create or update the resource. Because the environment variable name is treated as a merge key in strategic merge patches, the presence of duplicates creates ambiguity [1][2]. Specifically, operations that remove or update a single entry may inadvertently affect all entries with that duplicate name [2][4]. Precedence and Behavior 1. Precedence: When duplicate keys are present in the env list, the last defined value typically takes precedence because the list is processed sequentially [6][7][8]. However, relying on this behavior is unsafe due to the aforementioned tooling conflicts. 2. Tooling Conflicts: Using kubectl apply or other strategic merge patch-based tools on objects with duplicate environment variable names is known to be problematic [1][3][4]. Because the patch mechanism uses the variable name as a unique identifier, it may fail, remove all occurrences, or cause unpredictable behavior when attempting to manage these duplicates [2][3][4]. 3. Recommended Practice: The authoritative recommendation is to avoid duplicate environment variable names entirely [3][4]. If multiple definitions are needed, ensure unique naming, or use distinct sources (like separate ConfigMaps or Secrets) where the last source defined generally overrides previous ones [6][7]. Server-Side Apply (SSA) is generally better at handling these conflicts than client-side apply [3][4].

Reject extraEnv.TEMPORAL_QUEUE overrides.
When extraEnv contains TEMPORAL_QUEUE, the template emits a duplicate entry before the chart-managed TEMPORAL_QUEUE=site. The later value wins at container startup, so the configured value is ignored. Add "TEMPORAL_QUEUE" to the protected list.

Use a signal-driven shutdown to flush the OTLP exporter.
e.Logger is Echo’s default gommon logger, whose Fatal method calls os.Exit(1). Therefore, e.Logger.Fatal(e.Start(":8388")) can bypass the deferred tracing.InstallExporter("nico-rest-api")() closure and leave batched spans unflushed. Call the exporter shutdown closure after e.Shutdown completes.

In `@rest-api/api/cmd/api/main.go` around lines 48 - 51, Update the server
shutdown flow around tracing.InstallExporter and e.Start so exporter shutdown is
invoked after e.Shutdown completes, rather than relying solely on a defer that
os.Exit may bypass; preserve graceful signal-driven shutdown and ensure the
returned exporter closure is called exactly once.

NICo's Go tier drops W3C trace context, so an inbound request never appears in the same trace as the work it causes in the Rust Core. The Core is clean — it extracts on every inbound request — so the break is entirely in
rest-api/, in five independent places:rest-api/otel.SetTextMapPropagator; OTel's default is a no-opsite-workflow/pkg/grpc/client/{core,flow}_client.goif os.Getenv("LS_SERVICE_NAME") != ""— Lightstep's variable, set by no chartapi/internal/server/server.gootelecho.WithPropagators(otprop.OT{})—WithPropagatorsreplaces, so W3C was never read. Chart also defaultstracing.enabled: false{api,workflow}/pkg/client/site/temporal.goClientPools built with noInterceptorsfieldsite-agent/.../workflow/orchestrator.go1 is a prerequisite for 2, 4 and 5 — those read the global propagator, so without it they are correctly wired and carry nothing. One commit each, in that order.
The last commit is a diagnostic, not a fix: nothing calls
otel.SetTracerProvidereither, so the tier exports no spans and the break cannot be told apart from an unexportable chain. Gated onOTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, inert without a collector, and separable — fixes 1–5 work without it.Related issues

Run against a 3-VM sandbox deploying both planes end to end. Parent → child span crossings, all 0 before:

Not fixed:
flow's gRPC server (flow/internal/service/service.go) has nootelgrpchandler, so it never extracts inbound context. Separate and additive.
