Overview

Relay already exports Event metadata under lifecycle-specific Relay attribute names. This change adds an opt-in promote_metadata_prefixes setting that also exposes matching metadata under its original key as a top-level OpenTelemetry attribute.

The option defaults to an empty list, so existing OpenTelemetry output remains unchanged unless promotion is explicitly configured.

  • I confirm this contribution is my own work, or I have the right to submit it under this project's license.
  • I searched existing issues and open pull requests, and this does not duplicate existing work.

Details

  • Adds promote_metadata_prefixes to each OpenTelemetry trace endpoint.
  • Treats every configured value as a case-sensitive literal string prefix with no implicit dot or metadata-key segment boundary. For example, nv. selects keys beginning with nv., nv_ selects keys beginning with nv_, and user selects keys such as username and user_api_key.
  • Copies matching metadata into top-level attributes across Full, GenAI, and OpenInference projections.
  • Preserves start-only Scope metadata. When the same key appears at Scope start and end, Scope-end metadata is authoritative.
  • If the authoritative Scope-end value cannot be represented as an OpenTelemetry attribute, omits that promoted attribute and reports a diagnostic instead of falling back to the earlier Scope-start value.
  • Promotes Mark metadata for projections that emit Marks.
  • Supports strings, booleans, signed integers, floating-point numbers, and homogeneous primitive arrays.
  • Omits unsupported values without dropping the Event or exposing the rejected value.
  • Prevents promoted metadata from replacing projection-owned attributes or configured aliases.
  • Leaves the original Event, ATOF output, and existing Relay-prefixed attributes unchanged.
  • Exposes the option through Rust, plugin configuration, Python, Node.js, Go, and C/FFI.

Validation completed:

  • Focused Rust promotion tests passed.
  • Focused C/FFI tests passed.
  • just test-python passed 682 tests.
  • just test-node passed 386 tests.
  • just test-go passed.
  • Changed-file pre-commit validation passed after rebasing onto current main, including Ruff, Python type checking, FFI header synchronization, Cargo formatting, Clippy, Cargo check, Go formatting and vet, and Node formatting.

Where should the reviewer start?

Start with crates/core/src/observability/mod.rs for prefix validation and typed conversion, followed by crates/core/src/observability/otel.rs for Scope and Mark lifecycle behavior and collision handling.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

OpenTelemetry now validates metadata-promotion prefixes and copies selected Event metadata into OTLP attributes. The change covers span and mark processing, endpoint configuration, FFI construction, and Go, Node.js, and Python bindings.

Changes

Metadata promotion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prefix validation and value conversion
crates/core/src/observability/mod.rs, crates/core/tests/unit/observability/attribute_projection_tests.rs
Literal prefixes are validated. Supported scalar and homogeneous primitive-array values convert to OTLP attributes. Unsupported values produce bounded issues.
OTLP span and mark processing
crates/core/src/observability/otel.rs, crates/core/tests/unit/observability/otel_tests.rs, crates/core/tests/unit/observability/openinference_tests.rs
Configured metadata is promoted on spans and marks. Projection-owned attributes remain canonical. End-event metadata overrides start metadata when keys conflict.
Endpoint configuration and diagnostics
crates/core/src/observability/plugin_component.rs, crates/core/tests/unit/observability/plugin_component_tests.rs
Endpoint schemas, validation, defaults, and diagnostics support promote_metadata_prefixes.
FFI constructor compatibility
crates/ffi/nemo_relay.h, crates/ffi/src/api/observability.rs, crates/ffi/tests/unit/api/plugin_tests.rs
A v2 constructor accepts a JSON prefix array. The existing constructor delegates to it with metadata promotion disabled.
Language bindings
crates/node/..., go/nemo_relay/..., python/nemo_relay/..., python/tests/...
Go, Node.js, and Python expose, serialize, validate, and pass metadata prefixes. Integration tests verify promoted OTLP attributes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a460b

This opt-in observability change preserves existing output by default and has passed the listed focused and cross-language validation. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond optional follow-up test coverage improvements.

Instead, camelCase review expectations should apply to the native binding surface (e.g., `OpenTelemetrySubscriber`/`OpenInferenceSubscriber` constructors and their `attributeMappings`), which expose camelCase separately.

Learning: Do not flag camelCase style violations for keys returned by observability plugin configuration helpers (e.g., `observability.otlpConfig()` and similar helpers like `atofConfig()` / `atifConfig()`) in the Node observability module and its tests. These helpers intentionally return the snake_case plugin configuration schema consumed by `plugin.initialize()` and written/read via TOML. This is distinct from the Node public API / native subscriber options (e.g., fields like `attributeMappings`) which follow the camelCase guideline; only the plugin-config schema helpers should be exempt.

Learning: When adding/adjusting Go unit tests for `BuildCacheRequestFacts` (request-ID validation and related request parsing), set `CacheRequestFactsInput.Provider` to a valid provider in all tests that are intended to isolate request-ID behavior—because `BuildCacheRequestFacts` does not validate `Provider`. Then add separate test coverage for malformed `AnnotatedRequest` JSON so JSON parsing failures are not conflated with `Provider`-related inputs.

Learning: In NeMo Relay (RELAY-509), sanitizer callback failures must be treated as intentional fail-open behavior. When an event/tool (request/response) or LLM (request/response) sanitizer callback fails, the sanitizer chain should retain and publish the last valid event/payload snapshot (rather than dropping/invalidating the data) and log the failure including callback context (e.g., which sanitizer/callback failed and relevant identifiers). Apply this consistently across all sanitizer chains mentioned in the RELAY-509 documentation/migration guide.

Learning: Within the observability Rust modules, keep signal-generic helpers such as `build_grpc_metadata`, `record_signal_runtime_diagnostic`, and `resolve_http_signal_endpoint` in `otel_signal`. The `otel_logs`, `otel_metrics`, and plugin-routing consumers should depend on these shared helpers without introducing a metrics-to-logs module dependency.

I think we need to improve the validation of metadata keys versus projection/attribute keys that are both namespaced and borrowed by OTEL. In this code, metadata wins over projection attributes IFF they are missing on a per-span basis. However, the reserved namespace is significant. Claude found:

nemo_relay.*          (13 keys — Relay owns the whole namespace)
gen_ai.*              (21 keys — GenAI projection owns the whole namespace)
error.type            exception.type
input.mime_type       input.value
output.mime_type      output.value
llm.cost.total        llm.invocation_parameters   llm.model_name   llm.provider
llm.token_count.{prompt,completion,total}
metadata                                    ← bare key, no dot
openinference.span.kind
service.{name,namespace,version}
session.id            user.id
tool.name             tool.parameters
tool_call.id          tool_call.function.{name,arguments}
server.address        server.port           (via semconv)

In fact, this same issue might exist for validate_attribute_mappings (mod.rs:336)... So im not sure this is a blocker or a follow-up as we dont have a great pattern in place to date for namespace validation

Codex comment: In the scope-end path (otel.rs:1345-1360), start_promoted_metadata.retain(...) drops any key present in the end Event's metadata map, then promote_metadata runs on the end Event. If the end value is a null/object/empty-array/oversized-u64, the conversion fails — so the key is dropped from the start set and fails to promote from the end. The attribute vanishes entirely and emits a warning. The PR body promises "uses the final Scope-end value when the same key appears at both stages," which is ambiguous about this case; either fall back to the start value or state the drop is intentional. No test covers it.

A promoted key is dropped entirely when the Scope-end value is unsupported.

retain removes any start-promoted key that appears in the end Event's metadata map, on the assumption that promote_metadata just below will re-promote it from the end Event. But contains_key only proves the key is present -- not that its value converts. If the end value is null, an object, an empty array, or a u64 above i64::MAX, metadata_value_to_otel returns Err, so the key is dropped from the start set and fails to promote from the end. The attribute disappears from the span, and the only trace is a metadata_promotion_value_unsupported warning.

Concretely: {"nv.tenant": "acme"} at Scope start and {"nv.tenant": null} at Scope end produces no nv.tenant attribute at all, even though a valid value was available at start.

The PR description says promotion "uses the final Scope-end value when the same key appears at both stages," which is ambiguous for this case. If the intent is last-write-wins among promotable values, the retain should be gated on convertibility rather than presence. If the drop is intentional, it's worth a doc note -- it's surprising that adding an unpromotable value at Scope end deletes a valid attribute that was set at Scope start.

Either way this path currently has no test, which is part of the 80.69% patch-coverage gap.

starts_with has no segment boundary, so a prefix matches more than it looks like it matches.

is_valid_metadata_promotion_prefix makes the trailing dot optional, so "user" is a valid configured prefix -- and this line then promotes username, user_id, and user_api_key alongside the intended user.* keys. Same for "session" picking up session_token.

This is new surface relative to attribute_mappings, which maps an exact key to an exact alias and can't over-match. Given that the feature's job is copying caller-controlled metadata into exported telemetry, an operator who reasons "I want my user. namespace promoted" and writes user exports more than intended, and the over-match is silent.

Suggest requiring a segment boundary: match when key == prefix_without_dot or key.starts_with(&format!("{prefix_without_dot}.")). That keeps the intended ["nv."] / ["nv"] usage working identically while making over-match impossible.

If literal substring matching is deliberate, that's a defensible call -- but it should be stated explicitly in the endpoint docs, since the field name reads as namespace selection.
