perf(rulemanager,metrics): accelerate path lookup, remove pprof labels, and gate OTEL init - #938
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughMetrics activation is now conditional. Event dispatch and rule evaluation no longer use pprof wrappers. Literal container-profile paths use exact matching with trailing-slash handling. SBOM source construction no longer mutates image metadata. ChangesRuntime behavior updates
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR changes security-rule path evaluation and metrics startup behavior; empty execution paths may still be handled incorrectly, and OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=none may unexpectedly keep metrics active, creating bounded correctness and runtime-overhead risks that require explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is a bigger behaviour change than "avoid mutating the original rootFS layer order" — two later statements read imageInfo.ImageSpec.RootFS.DiffIDs after the slices.Reverse, so they were both silently consuming the reversed slice:
- line 58
RootFS: toRootFS(imageInfo.ImageSpec.RootFS)→ the marshalledRawConfig.rootfs.diff_idswas emitted top-first (i.e. reversed vs. the OCI config). - line 68
toLayers(imageInfo.ImageSpec.RootFS.DiffIDs, mounts)→toLayerspairsds[i]withms[msLen-1-i], so it assumesdsandmsrun in opposite directions.mountsis top-first (confirmed byNewResolver, which pairsmounts[i]withlayers[i]wherelayers == reverseLayers).
Concretely, for an image with diff-ids [L0(base),L1,L2] and mounts [m2,m1,m0]:
- before:
ds = [L2,L1,L0], soImageMetadata.Layers[0] = {Digest: L2, Size: diskUsage(m0)}— every digest got the size of the opposite layer. - after:
ds = [L0,L1,L2], soLayers[0] = {Digest: L0, Size: diskUsage(m0)}— correct.
So the clone also fixes per-layer size mis-attribution and the diff_ids order, and it flips the emitted order of ImageMetadata.Layers from top-first to base-first. totalSize is unchanged (the same set of mounts is consumed either way), so image-too-large behaviour is unaffected. Worth (a) saying so in the PR description and (b) adding a regression test that pins digest↔size pairing, since any downstream consumer that was written against the old top-first Layers/diff_ids ordering (base-image detection, layer indexing) will now see the opposite order.

Switching Values from CompareDynamic to exact membership is correct against containerprofilecache.Apply (dynamic/wildcard entries are routed to Patterns on path surfaces), but it makes pkg/objectcache/v1/mock.go — RuleObjectCacheMock.GetProjectedContainerProfile — no longer a faithful stand-in for production: it puts every raw entry into Values and never populates Patterns (pcp.Opens.Values[o.Path] at mock.go:117, pcp.Endpoints.Values[e.Endpoint] at mock.go:125).
Concretely: a test that seeds Opens: [{Path: "/proc/⋯/status"}] through that mock and asserts cp.was_path_opened(cid, "/proc/1/status") == true passed before this PR (the Values loop ran CompareDynamic) and returns false after it, while production still answers true via Patterns. No test hits this today, so nothing breaks now — but the mock will silently encode the wrong expectation for the next dynamic-path test. Worth mirroring containsDynamicSegment in the mock so dynamic entries land in Patterns.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER is a node-agent-only convention here — go-logger/otelsetup.InitProviders never reads it (it selects exporters purely from OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP{,_METRICS}_ENDPOINT), and pkg/otelsetup/setup.go only special-cases the value "prometheus".
So with OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=none + OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://collector:4317 (a plausible "turn SDK metrics off" setting), the effect after this PR is: go-logger still builds the OTLP metric reader and keeps pushing on its periodic interval, goruntime.Start is now skipped, and metricsProvider is the no-op — i.e. the collector keeps receiving the export traffic but every node-agent metric that used to arrive (the OTEL manager was previously constructed unconditionally) silently disappears. Same combination previously exported metrics fine.
Either honour none all the way down (skip the metric exporter in otelsetup) or drop the none special case and gate only on EnableMetricsExporter + endpoint presence, so the flag can't half-apply.

I diffed the new 3-lookup shim against the old CompareDynamic loop over every literal pair in a slash-edge corpus; it is equivalent except for three inputs, all in the "new says true where old said false" direction (i.e. treats the access as in-profile and suppresses the alert):
| profile value | query | old | new |
|---|---|---|---|
"" |
/ |
false | true |
/ |
// |
false | true |
/etc/passwd/ |
/etc/passwd// |
false | true |
The first is the one worth guarding: strings.TrimSuffix("/", "/") is "", so a single empty-string entry anywhere in Endpoints.Values/Opens.Values (an OpenCalls{Path: ""} / HTTPEndpoint{Endpoint: ""} surviving a profile merge) makes was_endpoint_accessed(cid, "/") and was_path_opened(cid, "/") answer true and silently suppress the root-path rule. Cheap fix: skip the trimmed lookups when trimmed == "".
Also note this trailing-slash normalisation is new behaviour relative to exec.go, which does the same exact-Values lookup with no trimming — fine for exec paths, but the two files now differ in how they treat a trailing slash.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Trailing-slash/empty rows: fixed and provably so. I re-ran the differential against the pinned kubescape/storage v0.0.303 (correction to my last comment — I had run it against v0.0.258, which lacks the empty-input guard in CompareDynamic; all three rows I reported were still real on v0.0.303, so the finding stands): the d790cd43 shim had 30 disagreements over 3,249 pairs, matchLiteralPath at 9cc684df has 0 — and 0 over a wider 80-value corpus (6,400 pairs) and an exhaustive 2-entry sweep (226,981 pairs), including 0 in the spurious-alert direction. I also confirmed path_match_test.go is a real guard, not a tautology: pasting the d790cd43 logic back in makes it fail on exactly those rows.
The exec.go half of this thread is only partly reconciled, though. wasExecuted (exec.go:45) now goes through matchLiteralPath, but wasExecutedWithArgs still does the raw lookup at exec.go:126 — and it has no pathStr == "" guard while wasExecuted (exec.go:41) does. So the two helpers now disagree with each other where they previously agreed: for a profile holding /usr/bin/curl, cp.was_executed(cid, "/usr/bin/curl/") answers true while cp.was_executed_with_args(cid, "/usr/bin/curl/", [...]) answers false, so an args-aware rule fires an unexpected-exec alert that the plain rule suppresses.
Worth flagging how to fix it, because the obvious swap is a security regression: matchLiteralPath can match on the trimmed key, but the args lookup on the next line is cp.ExecsByPath[pathStr] keyed by the untrimmed string. Swap in matchLiteralPath alone and /usr/bin/curl/ matches Values, misses ExecsByPath, and falls into the State-2 "no argv constraint" branch — returning true for any argv, bypassing the constraint entirely. It needs a variant that returns the matched key (e.g. matchLiteralPathKey) so ExecsByPath is indexed by the key that actually matched. Low severity on its own (execve of a trailing-slash path fails with ENOTDIR, so it is hard to reach from a real event) — not blocking, but please don't fix it the naive way.

Reviewed d790cd4 against its base 4cfc32a2. Four findings. The two blocking ones are both "looks correctness-neutral, silently turns something off".
First, the deletion I went in worried about is fine: pkg/metricsmanager/prometheus really is dead code. No remaining references outside a docs mention, and GOOS=linux go build ./... plus go vet (which compiles tests too) are clean. Saying so explicitly because a -774 line removal of the only implementation of a feature is indistinguishable from a functional removal until someone checks.
Blocking — the exact-match fast path suppresses alerts
pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/http.go:44 — I ran the new three-lookup shim against the old CompareDynamic loop over a slash-edge corpus. They agree everywhere except three inputs, and every disagreement is in the same direction — new=true where old=false, i.e. an alert that used to fire no longer does:
Values entry |
query | old | new |
|---|---|---|---|
"" |
/ |
false | true |
/ |
// |
false | true |
/etc/passwd/ |
/etc/passwd// |
false | true |
The first row is the one that matters: strings.TrimSuffix("/", "/") is "", so a single empty-string entry in Values makes was_path_opened(cid, "/") and was_endpoint_accessed(cid, "/") return true — whitelisting the root path against the container profile. A trimmed == "" guard fixes it.
Related: exec.go performs the same exact-map lookup with no trailing-slash trimming, so the three sibling libraries now disagree with each other about path equality. Worth reconciling deliberately rather than leaving them to drift.
The general point: a fast path in front of a matcher is only safe if it agrees with the matcher on every input, and the failure mode here is a silently disabled detection rather than a wrong answer someone notices. A differential test against CompareDynamic over a generated corpus is cheap and would pin this permanently — I'd rather see that than a handful of hand-picked cases, since the three failures found here are exactly the inputs a human wouldn't think to write.
Blocking — OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=none loses every metric while still paying to export
pkg/config/config.go:411 — that variable is honored only by node-agent. go-logger/otelsetup ignores it entirely, and pkg/otelsetup only special-cases "prometheus". So with OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=none and an OTLP endpoint configured:
- the SDK still builds and runs the OTLP metric pipeline (cost paid)
metricsProviderbecomes a no-op andgoruntime.Startis skipped (no data)
Every node-agent metric that previously reached the collector silently disappears, and nothing in the config or logs says so. Either honor the variable consistently across the otelsetup paths, or don't consult it here and gate purely on endpoint presence.
No regression for legacy deployments, for the record: cfg.IsMetricsEnabled() runs after otelsetup.InitProviders, which calls applyLegacyEnvAliases() first, so OTEL_COLLECTOR_SVC still resolves to enabled.
Please declare — the SBOM layer fix changes output shape
pkg/sbommanager/v1/syftutil/source.go:48 — the slices.Clone does considerably more than "avoid mutating the original rootFS order", and the PR description undersells it in a way that matters.
toRootFS (:58) and toLayers (:68) both read RootFS.DiffIDs after the old in-place slices.Reverse, so they were consuming the reversed slice. toLayers pairs ds[i] with ms[msLen-1-i], and mounts is top-first (confirmed by NewResolver pairing mounts[i] ↔ reverseLayers[i]). So before this change every Layers[i].Digest was paired with the size of the opposite layer, and RawConfig.rootfs.diff_ids was emitted reversed.
That's a real pre-existing SBOM-correctness bug and the fix is right — good catch. But it also flips ImageMetadata.Layers from top-first to base-first, which is downstream-visible: any consumer keyed on layer order changes behavior with no signal. Please add a regression test pinning the digest↔size pairing and the new order, and call the output change out in the description so whoever consumes these SBOMs isn't surprised. (totalSize is unaffected.)
Low — a latent test-fidelity trap
pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/open.go:41 — the exact-Values lookup is correct against production Apply, where dynamic entries land in Patterns. But it desynchronizes RuleObjectCacheMock (pkg/objectcache/v1/mock.go:117,125), which dumps all raw entries into Values and never populates Patterns. A test seeding Opens: [{Path: "/proc/⋯/status"}] through that mock and asserting was_path_opened(cid, "/proc/1/status") now gets false while production returns true. Nothing hits it today, so this is a trap for the next person writing a profile test rather than a live bug — worth fixing the mock to mirror Apply's split.
Also checked and cleared
The pprof.Do removals in rule_manager.go and event_handler_factory.go are behavior-preserving — the closures are synchronous, and the err/shouldAlert := shadowing matches the previous inner-scope var declarations. top.go's EnableMetricsExporter → IsMetricsEnabled() widening is inert, since NewTopTracer/RegisterTracer are commented out at tracer_factory.go:298-304 — no extra 2s startup delay and no eBPF cost. And the new empty-path/endpoint guards are semantically equivalent to the existing profile-unavailable path, since ConvertProfileNotAvailableErrToBool(..., false) already collapses that error to false.
One note on the pprof removal as a direction rather than a defect: it takes out the per-rule attribution that these perf PRs were derived from. Fine as a deliberate trade, but worth knowing you're removing the instrument that found these wins if the next round of profiling needs it.
Requesting changes on the empty-string guard and the OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER gap; the SBOM item needs a test and a description line rather than a code change.

One new, non-blocking item: exec.go:126 (details in-thread).
1. Differential corpus results
Methodology correction first: my last-round differential ran against storage v0.0.258, but this repo pins v0.0.303, whose CompareDynamic has an explicit empty-input guard and different slash handling. I re-ran everything on v0.0.303. All three rows I reported were still real bugs there, so the finding stands — only an extra value="" query="" row I never reported was version-specific.
New shim (matchLiteralPath, copied byte-for-byte) vs. the pre-#938 CompareDynamic loop, on v0.0.303:
| corpus | pairs | disagreements | new=true/old=false (missed alert) |
new=false/old=true (spurious alert) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
repo's own path_match_test.go list (17 values) |
289 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| generated slash-edge (80 values) | 6,400 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
multi-entry Values sets (7 sets × 80 queries) |
560 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
exhaustive 2-entry Values × all queries |
226,981 | — | — | 0 |
The three previously-failing rows all agree now: value=""/query="/" → both false, "/"/"//" → both false, "/etc/passwd/"/"/etc/passwd//" → both false. Equivalence is not vacuous — /etc/passwd ↔ /etc/passwd/ still matches in both directions.
Same corpus, old head vs new head: d790cd43 = 30 disagreements / 3,249 pairs → 9cc684df = 0.
Did they add a differential test, or hand-picked cases? A real differential: path_match_test.go:10 TestMatchLiteralPath_DifferentialAgainstCompareDynamic cross-products a 17-value candidate list against itself (289 pairs) and asserts matchLiteralPath == CompareDynamic for every pair, plus a smaller hand-picked multi-entry test. The corpus is hand-listed rather than generated, but it does cover the shapes that failed. I confirmed it is a genuine guard: pasting the d790cd43 logic back into path_match.go makes it fail on 6 pairs, including all three I reported. Only gap worth noting: the corpus contains no ⋯/* values — correct by contract (Apply routes those to Patterns), and I verified separately that such values in Values would silently stop matching (8/25 disagreements), which is exactly why the finding-4 mock fix matters.
Spurious-alert check (empty-string guard on a detection path): no input regresses. CompareDynamic in v0.0.303 already returns false for an empty query, so pathStr == "" → false is identical to pre-PR behaviour, and the 226,981-pair sweep found 0 cases in the new=false/old=true direction.
exec.go reconciliation: half done — wasExecuted (exec.go:45) now uses matchLiteralPath; wasExecutedWithArgs (exec.go:126) still uses the raw lookup and lacks the empty guard. See the in-thread reply; naive fix is unsafe.
2. OTEL gating — resolved by dropping the variable as a disable switch
config.go:410 is now EnableMetricsExporter || any of the three env vars non-empty. pkg/otelsetup and pkg/metricsmanager/otel are untouched, so nothing that shares the logging/tracing init changed. Traced through InitProviders → applyLegacyEnvAliases → goruntime.Start (cmd/main.go:127) → metricsProvider (cmd/main.go:202):
| # | Environment | IsMetricsEnabled |
SDK metric pipeline | node-agent metrics | vs. pre-PR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| a | OTLP endpoint, no OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER |
true | OTLP push | OTEL manager + runtime metrics | unchanged |
| b | OTLP endpoint + =none |
true | OTLP push | OTEL manager + runtime metrics | fixed (was: no-op manager, metrics lost) |
| c | OTLP endpoint + =otlp |
true | OTLP push | OTEL manager + runtime metrics | unchanged |
| d | =prometheus, no endpoint |
true | :8080/metrics reader (otelsetup/setup.go:86) |
OTEL manager, scrapeable | unchanged |
| e | legacy OTEL_COLLECTOR_SVC only |
true | OTLP push | OTEL manager + runtime metrics | no regression |
| f | nothing set | false | none (SDK no-op) | no-op manager | no functional loss — nothing was exported before either |
(e) holds because applyLegacyEnvAliases() is the first statement of gotelsetup.InitProviders and os.Setenvs OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, and cmd/main.go calls otelsetup.InitProviders (line 105) before both IsMetricsEnabled() sites (lines 127 and 202). It also holds on the error path, since the alias is applied before any return err.
Two cosmetic notes, not blockers: the new config_test.go case "endpoint configured enables metrics regardless of exporter string" has inputs identical to "enabled via OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT", so it adds no coverage — the case actually worth pinning is =none + endpoint → true, i.e. the behaviour that changed. And prometheusExporterEnabled: true on its own still starts no scrape listener (only OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=prometheus does), which is a pre-existing wiring gap this PR neither causes nor worsens.
3. SBOM regression test — confirmed discriminating
source_test.go:177 Test_NewSource_LayerOrderingAndDigestSizePairing pins base-first ImageMetadata.Layers digests, that Layers[0] carries the base mount's size, and that NodeSource.layers stays top-first for overlay resolution. I reverted line 48 to the pre-fix alias and re-ran it: it fails with exactly the reversed-digest symptom (expected 1111… / actual 3333…), so it is a real regression test, not an assertion of current behaviour. The PR description now documents the digest↔size mis-pairing and the base-first ordering.
4. Fresh-regression scan
GOOS=linux go build ./...andGOOS=linux go vet ./...(tests included): clean.golang:1.25container:pkg/rulemanager/...,pkg/config/...,pkg/objectcache/...,pkg/sbommanager/...,pkg/metricsmanager/...,cmd/...all pass. The only failures anywhere are the 18pkg/containerwatcher/v2/tracersTest*Fieldscases needing thetracers.tarbuild artifact — identical 18 failures on base4cfc32a2, so pre-existing and environmental.- Nothing dropped in the squash.
git diff d790cd43..9cc684dftouches only the four fix areas;cmd/main.go,rule_manager.go,event_handler_factory.go,tracers/top.go,source.goand thepkg/metricsmanager/prometheusdeletion are byte-identical to the previous head. - Still-standing observations from last round, unchanged and harmless: the
tracers/top.go:88IsEnabledwidening is inert (NewTopTracer/RegisterTracerare commented out attracer_factory.go:298), and thepprof.Doremovals are behaviour-preserving.
Base / merge state
No base update needed: the PR is 1 commit ahead and 0 behind origin/main (4cfc32a2), #936 is already the base tip, and GitHub reports mergeable: MERGEABLE (BLOCKED is only the review/checks gate). armosec/private-node-agent#553 has no bearing here — that repo depends on node-agent, not the reverse, and nothing in this diff touches the shared surface. Unit-test CI (pr-created / test) is green; component tests and the benchmark job are still running.
Call
Mergeable. All four findings fixed, each with a test that demonstrably fails against the pre-fix code. The one new item (exec.go:126) is a pre-existing-style inconsistency that this PR narrowed rather than widened, is hard to reach from a real event, and can land as a follow-up — it does not need to block. Recommend merging once the component-test matrix goes green.

Approving 9cc684df. All four findings fixed, each with a test that demonstrably fails against the pre-fix code — which is the part that makes them stay fixed.
First, a correction to my own last round. My differential ran against storage v0.0.258; this repo pins v0.0.303, whose CompareDynamic has an explicit empty-input guard. I re-ran on v0.0.303: all three rows I reported were still real bugs there. Only an extra ""/"" row I never reported turned out to be version-specific. The finding stands, but I should have pinned the version I was comparing against.
Finding 1 — FIXED, and verified by re-running the differential rather than reading the diff. The fast path is now extracted to path_match.go:11 matchLiteralPath, shared by open.go and http.go:
| corpus | pairs | disagreements |
|---|---|---|
| repo's own test list (17 values) | 289 | 0 |
| generated slash-edge (80 values) | 6,400 | 0 |
multi-entry Values sets |
560 | 0 |
| exhaustive 2-entry x all queries | 226,981 | 0 |
Old head vs new on one corpus: d790cd43 = 30 disagreements / 3,249 pairs → 9cc684df = 0, in both directions (no missed alerts, and no spurious ones either — that was the risk of adding a guard on a detection path). Equivalence isn't vacuous: /etc/passwd ↔ /etc/passwd/ still matches both ways.
And you added a real differential test (path_match_test.go:10, 17-value cross-product), not hand-picked cases. I checked it's a guard rather than a tautology by pasting the d790cd43 logic back in — it fails on 6 pairs, including all three I originally reported. That's the right shape for this class of change.
Finding 2 — FIXED, resolved the cleaner way: dropping OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER as a disable switch rather than trying to honor it across three packages that disagree about it. Traced all six combinations:
| env | IsMetricsEnabled |
SDK pipeline | node-agent metrics | vs pre-PR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| endpoint, no exporter var | true | OTLP push | OTEL mgr + runtime | unchanged |
endpoint + =none |
true | OTLP push | OTEL mgr + runtime | fixed |
endpoint + =otlp |
true | OTLP push | OTEL mgr + runtime | unchanged |
=prometheus, no endpoint |
true | :8080/metrics |
scrapeable | unchanged |
legacy OTEL_COLLECTOR_SVC only |
true | OTLP push | OTEL mgr + runtime | no regression |
| nothing | false | none | no-op mgr | no loss |
No combination loses metrics it previously had. The legacy case holds because applyLegacyEnvAliases() is the first statement of gotelsetup.InitProviders and main.go:105 calls it before both gates (:127, :202) — including on the error path.
Finding 3 — FIXED. source_test.go:177 pins the digest↔size pairing and the base-first order, and I confirmed it genuinely fails against the pre-fix line 48 with the exact reversed-digest symptom. Description updated too, which matters more than the test here, since the layer-order flip is what a downstream SBOM consumer would notice.
Finding 4 — FIXED. mock.go:101/123/135 now route ⋯/* entries to Patterns for Execs, Opens and Endpoints, so the mock mirrors production Apply and the test-fidelity trap is closed.
Nothing was lost in the squash — I diffed d790cd43..9cc684df and it touches only the four fix areas; main.go, rule_manager.go, event_handler_factory.go, top.go, source.go and the pkg/metricsmanager/prometheus deletion are byte-identical.
Verified alongside: GOOS=linux go build ./... and go vet ./... clean, and in a golang:1.25 container the rulemanager / config / objectcache / sbommanager / metricsmanager / cmd packages all pass. The only failures are 18 tracers Test*Fields needing the tracers.tar artifact — an identical 18 fail on base 4cfc32a2, so pre-existing. Base is 1 ahead / 0 behind origin/main; no update needed.
One follow-up — and please don't take the obvious fix
exec.go:126 — exec.go is half reconciled: wasExecuted now uses matchLiteralPath, but wasExecutedWithArgs at line 126 does not, and lacks the empty guard. So the sibling libraries still disagree on path equality in that one function.
The important part: swapping in matchLiteralPath naively there would be a security regression. The trimmed key matches Values but misses ExecsByPath, which drops the call into the State-2 "no argv constraint" branch — returning true for any argv. So this needs a variant that returns the matched key, not a drop-in substitution. Worth writing that down in the follow-up so the next person doesn't make it worse while tidying it up.
Cosmetic: the new config_test.go case duplicates an existing one — the case actually worth pinning is =none + endpoint → true.
Merge once the component-test matrix goes green.
