Drops swarm.otel.url (a loopback default an operator had to override on a
split host) in favor of swarm.otel.domain -- the same
gateway.localNames + nginx-vhost-through-the-gateway shape every other
swarm service (authelia, grafana, victoriametrics, ui) already uses. The
hive tier's exporter now reaches it as https://<domain> unconditionally,
resolved locally by dnsmasq on a co-located host and over the real network
otherwise, instead of a config knob nobody sets until they hit the silent
drop.
Costs CA trust on the hive tier: otel.nix wires
lib/hive-ca-trust.nix's trustBundle with hostUnit = true on the
opentelemetry-collector host unit, the same flag #3441/#3442 added for
swarm-controller and hive-c0re.
mara, #3125 comment 58363: "go c".
All four sibling swarm containers import swarm-container-resolver.nix;
this one did not. It matters more here than most: otel.endpoint is an
operator-configured external hostname, and reaching it is the entire
reason this container holds a credential.
Also aligns two details with those siblings - the enable default is
asserted from swarm-required-services.nix with the metrics pair it
feeds, so that file remains the one place a service host is declared,
and machine is readOnly since its description already calls it a fact
rather than a knob.
The pre-push lint refuses them, and rightly: a comment that names an
issue number ages into a pointer at a closed thread. The constraint each
one carried is stated directly instead.
A collector serves its own metrics on localhost:8888 unless told
otherwise, and co-located tiers share a network namespace, so the second
one to start dies with 'bind: address already in use'.
The port appears in neither config - it is a default inside the binary -
so comparing the ports the configs name reports them distinct. A
behavioural probe found it by being unable to start the chain.
metrics.address is the spelling that looks right and is rejected by this
version ('migration.MetricsConfigV030' has invalid keys: address);
readers is the schema it accepts.
The swarm tier is the only holder of the upstream credential, the only
writer to the swarm's metrics store, and (once #3283 lands) the place
that stamps hive= from the authenticated connection rather than from
anything a sender can choose. Today one collector does both tiers' jobs,
which works only because they land on one box.
A container rather than a second host unit, for two reasons that agree:
every sibling swarm service is one, and `services.opentelemetry-collector`
is a singleton NixOS option already spoken for on the host by the hive
tier. A container gets its own evaluation and therefore its own
collector.
Port defaults to 4319, deliberately not the OTLP default 4318 the hive
tier uses: swarm containers share the host netns, and two listeners
claiming one port is not a build failure but a runtime coin toss with
nothing in any log saying so -- the same collision grafana and the forge
hit on 3000.
`url` is an option with a co-located default rather than a loopback
literal in the exporter, so a split-host deployment is a config change
instead of a code change.
Wires nothing yet: the hive tier still exports directly, and switching it
over is the next commit.
