swarm-metrics reads the swarm's VictoriaMetrics from inside an agent
container: query, query-range, series, labels and label-values, each one
GET against the store's Prometheus read API through the gateway, printing
the store's JSON. It authenticates the way swarm-logs does, with the
agent's own queue secret read from bao under the agent's leaf, sent as
a swarm-agent bearer.
On the metrics store's host the read API's auth map gains an agent arm
ahead of the Grafana one. It routes to swarm-metrics-agent-auth, a
swarm-logs-auth instance logged in under the existing swarm-metrics-auth
leaf, whose bao grant now includes swarm/agents/+/queue read. The check is
rate-limited per address like the log store's
(deploy.victoriametrics.agentAuth{Rate,Burst,VerdictTtl}).
nix/agent-modules/metrics.nix installs the wrapped binary when the hive
forwards HIVE_AGENT_METRICS_URL (from swarm.victoriametrics.domain) and a
store address, the same gate as swarm-logs. Adds the base:swarm-metrics
skill and the CLI reference with its freshness check.
Fixes#5395
The metrics vhost forwarded the store's read API (query, series, labels,
export, vmui, ...) with no credential, so anything that could reach
metrics.<swarm> could read every hive's and agent's metrics. mara ruled on
checked by an auth_request responder, and operators use their authelia
session.
- swarm-metrics-auth (new crate): auth_request responder on the metrics
store's host. Compares the presented bearer, in constant time, with the
one stored at swarm/services/<grafana client id>/metrics/bearer, read
under its own bao leaf and cached for 60s. Static user, the post-#5264
swarm-logs-auth unit shape.
- swarm-bao-grafana-metrics-bearer: on Grafana's host, creates that bearer
in bao if absent (create without update, Grafana's existing leaf) and
writes "Bearer <value>" into the container; the datasource sends it as
its Authorization header via $__file{}.
- The vhost: read locations take auth_request through a map (a bearer goes
to swarm-metrics-auth, anything else to authelia, no login redirect);
vmui takes an authelia session with the login redirect; forceSSL like
the logs vhost. The authelia subrequest location is renamed from
/__metrics_push_authz to /__metrics_authelia since it now serves reads.
- Authelia: the collector keeps every path; everyone else is refused the
collector's push and /metrics paths; group admins is admitted to the
rest; then deny.
- bao: a swarm-metrics-auth cert role and policy (read on the one leaf),
its leaf minted by glue-bao-tls, the CN reserved as a hive name, and
Grafana's grant gains create on the bearer leaf.
