Part 2 of 3 of KV Cache Monitoring for vLLM / SGLang (LMCache). Stacked on kv-cache/footprint.

Valkey cannot see cache lookups, so hit rate comes from the inference engine's LMCache counters.

Summary

  • Outbound URL guard shared with webhooks (SSRF protection, loopback-only localhost matching, KV_CACHE_SCRAPE_BLOCK_PRIVATE).
  • Link engines to a connection by Prometheus scrape URL (optional auth header, test scrape) or by OTLP engine id (betterdb.lmcache.engine resource attribute).
  • Prometheus text parser and per-minute delta tracker for lmcache:num_requested_tokens / num_hit_tokens / lookup counters, with counter-reset and OTLP start-time handling.
  • Scraper on KV_CACHE_SCRAPE_INTERVAL_MS; OTLP ingestion routes LMCache metrics to linked engines (unknown_engine drop reason otherwise).
  • Hit rate history API (hit tokens / requested tokens).
  • Webhook events kv_cache.hit_rate_low and kv_cache.eviction_risk with hysteresis, token floor and per-connection settings; disabled engines never alert.
  • Re-exports betterdb_kv_cache_* hit rate and footprint metrics to Prometheus and OTel.
  • Deleting an engine deletes its samples; disabling, re-enabling or changing the scrape URL resets counter baselines.

Testing

Unit specs for guard, parser, delta tracker, engines service, scraper, OTLP routing, alerts, exporters and storage adapters.


Note

Medium Risk
Touches SSRF validation for webhooks and new metrics scraping/OTLP ingestion paths; misconfiguration could block legitimate URLs or accept metrics to the wrong engine, but behavior is heavily tested.

Overview
Adds LMCache hit-rate and engine telemetry for KV cache monitoring: users can register per-connection scrape or OTLP engines, ingest lmcache:* counters into minute buckets, query sample history, and get Pro webhooks for low hit rate and eviction risk (with settings, hysteresis, and disabled-engine handling).

Ingestion path: periodic Prometheus scrapes (guarded fetch + text parser + counter delta tracker) and OTLP routing when resources carry betterdb.lmcache.engine or all metrics are lmcache:—otherwise points drop as unknown_engine. Engine registry coordinates storage, encrypted scrape auth via getEncryptionService(), and sample cleanup on delete.

Security / shared infra: new outbound-url-guard centralizes SSRF checks (DNS, private/link-local rules, optional private networks for scrapers, guardedLookup); webhooks drop inline validation and call assertSafeOutboundUrl with production-only DNS.

Observability: PrometheusService exports betterdb_kv_cache_* footprint and hit-rate series with per-connection cleanup; OTel semconv maps the same names. Storage gains deleteKvCacheEngineSamples(engineId).

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cbb3b

This change adds outbound HTTP scraping of user-supplied URLs. The new address guard can still be bypassed through DNS answers such as AAAA records or rebinding, and it allows shared-address-space metadata endpoints. Deleted or reconfigured engines can also receive stale hit-rate samples. These issues should be fixed before merge.

The network and parsing paths are defensively written and I like the test coverage, but the core delta tracker has a double-counting bug and there is an SSRF gap, so I'd like changes before merge.

counter-deltas.ts:95-110: the restart detector fires on any change of startMs in either direction and then returns the full counter value as the delta. There is no tracking of the newest startMs seen, so an older or duplicate start-time is accepted as a "restart." Concrete repro on one series: (1) value=1000,start=S1 baseline; (2) restart value=50,start=S2 gives delta 50; (3) a delayed/retried pre-restart export value=1000,start=S1 arrives, is not dropped (1000<50 is false) and is treated as a restart, emitting a spurious +1000; (4) next real value=70,start=S2 emits +70. One reordered datapoint inflates the minute by ~1050 tokens. Worse, if worker identity lives in an OTLP resource attribute rather than a datapoint attribute, all workers collapse to one series key and every datapoint flips startMs and returns its full counter, every cycle. Because hitRate() (kv-cache-samples.service.ts:14) is not clamped to [0,1], the inflated, independently-flapping hit/requested deltas can push the rate above 100% or collapse it, feeding the hit_rate_low/eviction_risk webhooks and the re-exported gauges false values.

Requests: track the newest startMs per series and treat only a strictly-newer start-time as a restart (ignore older/duplicate ones); include resource attributes in the series key so workers do not collapse; and clamp hitRate() to [0,1].

Separately, the SSRF guard: outbound-url-guard.ts ALWAYS_BLOCKED covers IPv4 169.254.x and fe80 but not IPv6 ULA fc00::/7, and fd00::/8 only lives in the private-network list, which the scrape path skips by default (allowPrivateNetworks defaults true). So AWS IMDSv6 (fd00:ec2::254) and internal ULA services are reachable via a scrape URL by default; please add ULA to the always-blocked set.

One process question: gh pr checks shows no build/test matrix running on this base branch (only CLA passes, CodeRabbit/Bugbot skipped), so none of the ~25 new specs execute in CI. Given how much correctness rests on them, can we get the matrix running on this branch, or merge the stack base to master first?

- Track the newest startMs per series; only a strictly newer start is a
  restart, older starts are stale and ignored
- Include OTLP resource attributes in the series key so workers
  identified only by resource attributes stay separate
- Clamp hitRate() to [0, 1]
- Always block IPv6 unique local addresses (fc00::/7), covering AWS
  IMDSv6 at fd00:ec2::254

@KIvanow addressed in f6338b0:

  1. Restart detection: counter-deltas.ts keeps the newest startMs per series. Only a strictly newer start is a restart; an older start is ignored, and the same start uses normal delta logic. Your repro is a spec: 1000@S1, then 50@S2 gives 50, the late 1000@S1 is ignored, and 70@S2 gives 20.
  2. Series key: it now includes the sorted OTLP resource attributes, so workers identified only by resource attributes stay separate.
  3. hitRate() is clamped to [0, 1].
  4. SSRF: fc00::/7 is in ALWAYS_BLOCKED. Specs cover fd00:ec2::254 in bracketed, uppercase and expanded forms, both as a URL and as a DNS answer.

On CI: api-tests.yml triggers on pull_request with branches: [master], and that filter matches the PR's base, so stacked PRs only get CLA. I ran the suites locally on the merged top of the stack: API kv-cache and URL guard 268/268, web kv-cache 41/41, and both typechecks are clean. The matrix runs once each PR is retargeted to master, or you can start it with a manual workflow_dispatch of API Tests.

Thanks for this, the engine scraping and OTLP ingest add a lot. I'm requesting changes for a few correctness and security issues I'd like fixed before merge.

Blocking

1. Deleting a connection can resurrect its engines (proprietary/kv-cache/kv-cache-footprint.service.ts:97)
On removal, storage rows are deleted before the removal listeners run, so the engine registry and sample tracker still hold the connection's engines in the meantime. An OTLP push that calls registry.recordResult during that window writes saveKvCacheEngine after the DELETE (the id isn't in removed yet), and a 15s sample flush can do the same for samples. After a restart, KvCacheEngineRegistry.onModuleInit loads the orphan engine and KvCacheScrapeService.tick keeps scraping it for a connection that no longer exists. Run the removal listeners (or mark the engines removed) before the storage delete.

2. Concurrent DELETE + PATCH re-inserts a deleted engine (proprietary/kv-cache/kv-cache-engine-registry.ts:66)
remove() never adds the id to removed. If a PATCH's owned() check passes while the delete is pending, its registry.save queues behind remove, sees removed.has(id) === false, and re-inserts the row and the in-memory entry. The engine comes back and is scraped again, with its samples already wiped. Add the id to removed in remove().

3. Webhook URL validation regressed outside production (apps/api/src/common/utils/outbound-url-guard.ts:89)
Webhook URLs now get a DNS lookup and private-IP blocking in every environment; the old validateUrl only did that when NODE_ENV=production. In dev and docker-compose, http://receiver:8080/hook (172.18.x.x) is now rejected, and webhooks.service.spec.ts / api-webhooks.e2e-spec.ts now make real DNS lookups for https://example.com, so they fail in CI without network access. This changes behaviour outside the KV cache feature, so please keep the previous gating for webhooks.

4. Loopback is always blocked for scrapes in production (outbound-url-guard.ts:70)
The Docker images set NODE_ENV=production, and in production loopback is blocked even when KV_CACHE_SCRAPE_BLOCK_PRIVATE is unset. A vLLM sidecar or host-network setup at http://localhost:8000/metrics fails with "Test scrape failed: blocked address", with no workaround. Loopback should follow the same allow-private setting.

5. DNS rebinding bypasses the metadata block (proprietary/kv-cache/metrics-fetch.ts:44)
assertSafeOutboundUrl resolves the hostname, then fetch() resolves it again, so the address actually connected to is never checked. A short-TTL record can pass the guard with a public IP and then point at 169.254.169.254. Since the scraper re-checks and re-fetches every tick, a later scrape can hit cloud metadata with the engine's Authorization header. Pin the validated address (custom lookup / undici dispatcher) for the request.

6. null passes validation and is written to storage (proprietary/kv-cache/dto/kv-cache-engine.dto.ts:16)
@IsOptional also accepts null, and the services only check !== undefined. PATCH {"scrapeUrl": null} probes the old URL, saves null, and tick() then silently skips the engine. {"name": null}, {"enabled": null} or PUT settings {"hitRateThreshold": null} hit NOT NULL columns and return a 500. Use @ValidateIf((_, v) => v !== undefined) or reject null explicitly; the same applies to UpdateKvCacheSettingsDto.

Non-blocking

  • Eviction-risk alert flaps (kv-cache-alert-rules.ts:41): "evicting" needs evictedKeysDelta > 0 on every snapshot, and it's dispatched as 0/1 with isAbove=true. Bursty eviction (50, 0, 30, 0) clears and re-fires the alert on each burst. Consider requiring a few clean snapshots before recovering.
  • Hit-rate alert recovers on low traffic (kv-cache-alerts.service.ts:156): when a firing window falls below KV_CACHE_HIT_RATE_MIN_TOKENS, a synthetic hitRate=1 is dispatched, which clears the alert though nothing improved. It re-fires when traffic returns. Skipping evaluation (keeping current state) would avoid that.
  • IPv6 ULA is never allowed (outbound-url-guard.ts:24): fc00::/7 is in ALWAYS_BLOCKED, so the allow-private setting unblocks IPv4 private ranges but not IPv6 ones. Scrapes break on IPv6 / dual-stack clusters with fd00::/8 pod IPs.
  • DNS failures during a scrape are reported as "blocked address" because the guard's error is caught and replaced. Surfacing the real reason would help debugging.
  • Two concurrent creates with the same otlpEngineId can both pass the uniqueness check, since it happens before an await.
  • The counter series key only uses worker_id/role (plus resource for OTLP), so series that differ by served_model_name or other labels can collide.
  • pointsOf in kv-cache-otlp-sink.service.ts duplicates metricPointCount from otel-metrics-ingest.service.ts; please reuse it.

Housekeeping

Please remove the Co-Authored-By: Claude ... trailers from the commits before merge (44679d3, 1c90392, 5b14733, f6338b0, 819b2a8), so they don't end up in master history.

- Run connection removal listeners before deleting stored KV data and
  wait for pending engine writes and sample flushes
- Mark an engine removed as soon as remove() is called so a queued save
  cannot re-insert it
- Snapshot the status version when save() is called so scrape results
  recorded while the save is queued are kept
- Reject null for optional engine and settings DTO fields
- Resolve webhook hostnames only in production again, as before the
  shared outbound URL guard
- Let loopback and IPv6 unique local addresses follow the scrape
  allow-private setting; keep link-local and fd00:ec2::254 blocked
- Connect KV scrapes through a lookup that validates every resolved
  address, so the connected IP is the checked one
- Surface guard and DNS failure reasons instead of "blocked address"
- Include extra labels such as served_model_name in counter series keys
- Reserve OTLP engine ids while a create is in flight
- Reuse metricPointCount in the KV cache OTLP sink
- Hold the evicting alert until three clean snapshots in a row
- Keep hit-rate alert state while a window has too little traffic

@KIvanow everything is pushed to kv-cache/engines (3e94d74, fad95a9, e2c28f4) and merged forward into #530 and #533.

Blocking

  1. Connection removal resurrecting engines: fixed. Removal listeners now run and are awaited before the storage delete. The registry marks the connection's engines removed, then waits for their pending writes and for the sample flush queue. On Harden KV cache cleanup, cluster evictions, sample limits and scrape DNS #533 the reworked removal path (generation counter, deferred delete) already awaits the listeners before deleteRemovedData, and that still holds after the merge.
  2. DELETE + PATCH re-insert: fixed. remove() adds the id to removed as soon as it's called, so a queued save returns early.
  3. Webhook validation outside production: fixed. The guard takes resolveDns: 'production', and webhooks use it, so they resolve DNS only in production again. Literal private IPs are still rejected, as before. KV scrapes still resolve DNS in every environment.
  4. Loopback for scrapes in production: fixed. Loopback now follows the allow-private setting (KV_CACHE_SCRAPE_BLOCK_PRIVATE). http://localhost:8000/metrics works in the Docker images unless private networks are blocked.
  5. DNS rebinding: fixed. On Track LMCache hit rate from linked vLLM/SGLang engines (Pro) #529 the scrape goes through http/https with a custom lookup. The lookup validates every resolved address and returns only checked ones, so the connected IP is the validated one. Host and SNI still come from the original URL. Harden KV cache cleanup, cluster evictions, sample limits and scrape DNS #533 already had an equivalent pinned transport (pinned-fetch.ts), and I kept that one when merging.
  6. null in DTOs: fixed. Optional fields in the engine DTOs and UpdateKvCacheSettingsDto use @ValidateIf((_, v) => v !== undefined), so null returns 400. The one exception is scrapeAuthHeader on update, where null still means "clear the header".

Non-blocking

  • Eviction-risk flapping: fixed. Once "evicting" fires, it stays active until three clean snapshots in a row.
  • Hit-rate recovery on low traffic: fixed. If a firing window drops below the token floor, the current state is kept instead of sending a synthetic recovery. It still recovers when the engine is gone or disabled, or when hit-rate alerts are turned off.
  • IPv6 ULA: fixed. fc00::/7 follows the allow-private setting. fd00:ec2::254 and link-local stay blocked, and IPv6 addresses are normalised before matching.
  • DNS errors reported as "blocked address": fixed. The scrape error now carries the guard's message, for example Failed to resolve metrics URL hostname, blocked address <ip> or DNS lookup failed (ENOTFOUND).
  • Concurrent creates with the same otlpEngineId: fixed. The id is reserved while the create is in flight.
  • Counter series key: fixed. Labels other than model_name/worker_id/role (for example served_model_name) are now part of the key, in a stable order. Existing keys don't change when there are no extra labels.
  • pointsOf duplication: fixed. metricPointCount moved to otlp-metric-map and is used by both.

Housekeeping

  • Removing the Co-Authored-By trailers: not done. It would mean rewriting and force-pushing the stack. The new commits don't carry the trailer.

The Cursor threads on #529 are addressed in the same commits.

- Disabling eviction alerts resets the evicting hold and sends both reasons
  as inactive
- An undetected snapshot clears the evicting hold at once instead of
  waiting three clean snapshots across the undetected back-off

Removal skips eviction alert reset

Low Severity

Connection removal drops checkedWindows and evictingCleanStreaks without the healthy dispatch used everywhere else to clear webhook hysteresis. Eviction alert keys are scoped by connectionId, so a reused id can stay latched and never fire again until the process restarts.
