Add auth and disable flag for the Prometheus metrics endpoint - #467
Conversation
|
Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe API adds configurable Prometheus endpoint enablement and bearer-token authorization. Cloud mode requires a token when metrics access is enabled. The endpoint returns 401 for failed authorization and 404 when disabled. Cloud session authentication bypasses the exact metrics routes.

Code LGTM. The pure metrics-access.ts (disabled > unauthorized > allow), the SHA-256-then-timingSafeEqual compare (correctly avoids leaking token length), and updating both the cloud-auth guard and middleware bypass lists in lockstep are all right. Tests are thorough.
validateEnv() exits on failure, so every existing CLOUD_MODE deployment crash-loops on boot until PROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKEN is provisioned. The token must be staged in cloud config before this rolls out. Same class of order-of-operations as the #456 gate. Can we get the rollout runbook updated / the secret provisioned before this ships? Merging the code is safe; deploying it without the secret is not.
Nits (optional, won't hold approval):
- Cloud-auth bypass uses exact-match
path === '/api/prometheus/metrics'; a trailing slash / alt prefix falls through to the login redirect. Prometheus won't add a trailing slash so this is fine, just brittle vs. thestartsWithstyle used elsewhere. - Bearer scheme is compared case-sensitively (
Beareris in the hashed input); RFC 7235 says the scheme is case-insensitive. Only matters for non-Prometheus scrapers.
Approving so it's not blocked on me - please just coordinate the token rollout before deploy. (Also note this is stacked on #462; retarget/merge that first.)

Re-reviewed after the rebase onto master (0737d9d2). Still LGTM — the design is clean: the pure metrics-access.ts decision (disabled > unauthorized > allow), the SHA-256-then-timingSafeEqual compare that avoids leaking token length, and updating both the cloud-auth guard and the middleware bypass list in lockstep. Test coverage is thorough (140/140), CI is green, no unresolved threads. Approving.
Two gates before this actually ships (neither is a code blocker):
-
Merge ordering. This is stacked on #462 (
base = fix/prometheus-staleness-bounds). #462 currently has changes requested from me, so this can't merge until #462 lands — then either fast-forward or retarget this tomaster. Please don't merge out of order. -
Deploy gate (unchanged, flagging loudly again).
validateEnv()exits on failure, so every existingCLOUD_MODEdeployment crash-loops on boot untilPROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKENis provisioned. Stage the secret in cloud config before rollout — same order-of-operations as the #456 gate. Merging the code is safe; deploying without the secret is not.
Nits (still optional, not holding approval — carried over, both still present):
- Cloud-auth bypass matches the metrics path with
path === '/api/prometheus/metrics'while every other entry usesstartsWith; a trailing slash or alt prefix falls through to the login redirect. Prometheus won't add a trailing slash, so it's fine — just brittle. - The bearer scheme is compared case-sensitively (
Bearer ${token}goes into the hashed input). RFC 7235 says the auth scheme is case-insensitive; only matters for non-Prometheus scrapers sendingbearer.
Good to go once #462 merges and the token is staged.

- Compare PROMETHEUS_METRICS_ENABLED case-insensitively in both the runtime guard and the env schema, so FALSE/False no longer leaves the endpoint open - Reject a whitespace-only PROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKEN at boot instead of silently treating it as unset - Add a test proving PrometheusMetricsGuard stays bound to PrometheusController via @UseGuards - Drop the inert PROMETHEUS_METRICS_ENABLED env mutation from the OTLP mirror guard spec - Document PROMETHEUS_METRICS_ENABLED/TOKEN in .env.example - Note the metrics endpoint's own auth gate in the session-auth bypass list in docs/configuration.md Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Tests that validate cloud-mode require both OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN and PROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKEN to pass validation. Update affected tests: - Rename 'accepts CLOUD_MODE when OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN is provided' to 'accepts CLOUD_MODE when both OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN and PROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKEN are provided' and supply both tokens - Add PROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKEN to test requiring OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN so it fails for the right reason (missing OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN, not missing PROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKEN) - Add PROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKEN to test requiring the token for any truthy CLOUD_MODE value to isolate testing of OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN requirement Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Allowlist the metrics path in the cloud session bypass, the way /v1/traces is, so the bearer credential is the gate in cloud mode - Treat a blank PROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKEN as unset instead of failing boot, matching the other optional token variables Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Compare SHA-256 digests so a length mismatch leaks no timing signal - Bypass cloud session auth only for the exact metrics paths - Pin the self-hosted guard test to non-cloud mode - Scope the cloud-mode token requirement to an enabled endpoint

Closes the planning-board item "[P1] Auth + disable flag for /prometheus/metrics endpoint".
/api/prometheus/metricsis inPUBLIC_PREFIXES, soActorGuardskips it and today the exposition is readable by anyone who can reach the port. This adds two optional controls and changes nothing for a deployment that configures neither.What changed
PROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKEN— when set, a scrape must sendAuthorization: Bearer <token>; anything else gets 401. The comparison is constant time.PROMETHEUS_METRICS_ENABLED=false— the route returns 404 while the OpenTelemetry mirror keeps exporting, so a push-only deployment can close the pull endpoint entirely.CLOUD_MODEthe token is required: validation fails at boot (likeOTEL_INGEST_TOKEN), and at request time an enabled endpoint with no token configured answers 401 rather than serving anonymously.metrics-access.ts); the guard only maps it to status codes. Disabled wins over unauthorized..env.exampleand the sampleprometheus.ymlshow theauthorization: type: Bearerscrape block; the sample stays commented out so the default file still works.validateEnv()exits on failure, so every existingCLOUD_MODEdeployment must havePROMETHEUS_METRICS_TOKENprovisioned before this ships, or it will crash-loop. Same order-of-operations as the #456 deploy gate. Self-hosted deployments are unaffected.Notes for review
