-# Docker Testing
-
-Scripts for testing Hindsight Docker images locally and in CI.
-
-## Scripts
-
-### `test-image.sh`
-
-General-purpose Docker image test script. Starts a container and verifies it becomes healthy.
-
-**Usage:**
-```bash
-./docker/test-image.sh <image> [target]
-```
-
-**Arguments:**
- `image` - Docker image to test (e.g., `hindsight:test`, `ghcr.io/vectorize-io/hindsight:latest`)
- `target` - Optional: `cp-only` for control plane, `api-only` for API, or `standalone` (default)
-
-**Environment Variables:**
- `GROQ_API_KEY` - Required for API/standalone images
- `HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER` - LLM provider (default: `groq`)
- `HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_MODEL` - LLM model (default: `llama-3.3-70b-versatile`)
- `HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_PROVIDER` - Embeddings provider (for slim images)
- `HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_OPENAI_API_KEY` - OpenAI API key for embeddings
- `HINDSIGHT_API_RERANKER_PROVIDER` - Reranker provider (for slim images)
- `HINDSIGHT_API_COHERE_API_KEY` - Cohere API key for reranking
- `SMOKE_TEST_TIMEOUT` - Timeout in seconds (default: 120)
-
-**Examples:**
-
-Test a full image (with local ML models):
-```bash
-export GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_xxx
-./docker/test-image.sh hindsight:test
-```
-
-Test a slim image (with external providers):
-```bash
-export GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_xxx
-export HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_PROVIDER=openai
-export HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx
-export HINDSIGHT_API_RERANKER_PROVIDER=cohere
-export HINDSIGHT_API_COHERE_API_KEY=xxx
-./docker/test-image.sh hindsight-slim:test
-```
-
-### `test-slim-local.sh`
-
-Convenience wrapper for testing slim images locally. Automatically configures external providers.
-
-**Usage:**
-```bash
-# Set API keys
-export GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_xxx
-export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx
-export COHERE_API_KEY=xxx
-
-# Run test
-./docker/test-slim-local.sh [image]
-```
-
-**Or inline:**
-```bash
-GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_xxx \
-OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx \
-COHERE_API_KEY=xxx \
-./docker/test-slim-local.sh hindsight-slim:test
-```
-
-This script:
- ✅ Validates API keys are set
- ✅ Configures OpenAI embeddings automatically
- ✅ Configures Cohere reranking automatically
- ✅ Calls `test-image.sh` with the right configuration
-
-## Building and Testing Locally
-
-### Build a slim image
-
-```bash
-docker build \
-  --build-arg INCLUDE_LOCAL_MODELS=false \
-  --build-arg PRELOAD_ML_MODELS=false \
-  --target standalone \
-  -t hindsight-slim:test \
-  -f docker/standalone/Dockerfile \
-  .
-```
-
-### Test the slim image
-
-```bash
-# With API keys
-export GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_xxx
-export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx
-export COHERE_API_KEY=xxx
-
-# Run test
-./docker/test-slim-local.sh hindsight-slim:test
-```
-
-## Expected Output
-
-**Successful test:**
-```
-Starting smoke test for: hindsight-slim:test
-  Target: standalone
-  Health endpoint: http://localhost:8888/health
-  Timeout: 120s
-
-Starting container...
-Waiting for health endpoint at http://localhost:8888/health...
-  Still waiting... (10s)
-  Still waiting... (20s)
-
-Container is healthy after 25s
-
-=== Health Response ===
-{
-    "status": "healthy",
-    "database": "connected"
-}
-
-Smoke test PASSED
-```
-
-## CI Integration
-
-These scripts are used in CI to validate Docker images on every PR:
-
- `.github/workflows/test.yml` - Runs `test-image.sh` for slim variants with OpenAI/Cohere
- `.github/workflows/release.yml` - Can optionally run smoke tests during release
-
-See the workflows for the exact configuration.

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Nicolò Boschi	2c7bdae665	docs: simplify distributed tracing section in monitoring.md - Make tracing documentation more concise - Focus on span hierarchy and attributes - Remove verbose troubleshooting and performance sections - Keep configuration.md for env vars only	2026-02-10 11:36:03 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	0e329d3236	refactor: remove redundant is_tracing_enabled() checks - Remove all is_tracing_enabled() conditional checks before tracing calls - NoOpTracer/NoOpSpan handle disabled tracing automatically - Simplify code by always calling tracer methods directly - Fix NoOpTracer.start_as_current_span() to yield NoOpSpan instead of None Changes: - memory_engine.py: Remove 5 is_tracing_enabled checks in recall spans - agent.py: Remove 2 is_tracing_enabled checks in reflect tool spans - tracing.py: Fix NoOpTracer context manager to yield proper NoOpSpan This eliminates ~50 lines of redundant conditional code while maintaining identical behavior.	2026-02-10 11:16:35 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	f817039786	feat: add comprehensive tracing for recall and improve reflect/mental_model_refresh spans - Add recall operation tracing with parent-child span hierarchy - Parent: hindsight.recall with attributes (bank_id, query, fact_types, etc.) - Children: recall_embedding, recall_retrieval, recall_fusion, recall_rerank - Fixed context propagation using start_as_current_span() - Improve reflect tracing spans - Remove reflect_generation spans, use reflect instead - Change done() tool processing to hindsight.reflect_tool_call - Fix mental_model_refresh span nesting - Add _skip_span parameter to reflect_async to avoid duplicate hindsight.reflect spans - Mental model refresh now has clean span hierarchy without nested reflect parent - Add comprehensive tracing verification tests - Test span hierarchy and attributes for all operations - Verify parent-child relationships - 5 passing tests covering recall, reflect, consolidation, and mental_model_refresh	2026-02-10 11:02:24 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	f166741975	fix: configure Prometheus to scrape Hindsight API metrics Update prometheus.yml to include both OTLP receiver config (from LGTM) and scrape_configs for pulling metrics from Hindsight API. Changes: - Mount prometheus.yml to /otel-lgtm/prometheus.yaml (where LGTM reads it) - Add scrape_configs section to pull from host.docker.internal:8888/metrics - Keep OTLP receiver configuration for trace metrics - Set scrape_interval to 5s Verified: Prometheus now successfully scrapes hindsight_llm_calls_total and other Hindsight metrics. Dashboards now show live data!	2026-02-10 10:20:57 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	23f21fbe6a	fix: load Hindsight dashboards in Grafana LGTM Mount Hindsight dashboard JSON files and custom provisioning config to make dashboards visible in Grafana. Changes: - Mount hindsight-operations.json, hindsight-llm.json, hindsight-api-service.json to /otel-lgtm/ - Create grafana-dashboards.yaml with all dashboard providers (default + Hindsight) - Mount custom provisioning config to override LGTM default All 3 Hindsight dashboards now appear in Grafana UI with metrics from Prometheus scraping the Hindsight API /metrics endpoint.	2026-02-10 10:18:17 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	39da7fd2cd	fix: remove invalid home dashboard path and obsolete version field - Remove GF_DASHBOARDS_DEFAULT_HOME_DASHBOARD_PATH environment variable (was pointing to wrong path causing 'Failed to load home dashboard' error) - Remove obsolete 'version' field from docker-compose.yaml (docker-compose v2+ doesn't require version field)	2026-02-10 10:13:22 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	9036cb4cd5	fix: run monitoring stack in foreground for easy Ctrl+C stop Change docker-compose from detached (-d) to foreground mode. Users can now stop the stack with Ctrl+C instead of needing to run docker-compose down separately.	2026-02-10 10:10:03 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	521fa49b35	refactor: merge Grafana setup into existing monitoring stack Consolidate the separate scripts/dev/grafana/ setup into the existing scripts/dev/monitoring/ stack, using Grafana LGTM (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir). Changes: - Remove separate scripts/dev/grafana/ directory and start-grafana.sh - Rewrite scripts/dev/monitoring/start.sh to use Docker + Grafana LGTM (was: download native Prometheus/Grafana binaries) - Add docker-compose.yaml for Grafana LGTM container - Add prometheus.yml for scraping Hindsight API metrics - Mount existing dashboards from monitoring/grafana/dashboards/ - Add comprehensive README.md Benefits: - Single unified monitoring command: ./scripts/dev/start-monitoring.sh - Uses existing dashboard files (hindsight-operations, hindsight-llm, hindsight-api-service) - Simpler setup: Docker-based vs downloading/running native binaries - Full observability: traces + metrics + logs + dashboards in one container - Standard ports: Grafana on 3000, OTLP on 4317/4318 Architecture: - Grafana LGTM container (~515MB) provides all components - Dashboards auto-provisioned from monitoring/grafana/dashboards/ - Prometheus scrapes host.docker.internal:8888/metrics - Shared hindsight-network for future service-to-service tracing	2026-02-10 10:06:46 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	51ffe25748	feat: add Prometheus metrics and GenAI dashboard to Grafana stack Add comprehensive metrics and dashboarding to the Grafana LGTM stack: Metrics Collection: - Configure Prometheus to scrape Hindsight API /metrics endpoint - Scrape interval: 10 seconds - Targets hindsight-api on host.docker.internal:8888 GenAI Dashboard: - Pre-configured dashboard with 6 panels: - LLM call rate (by provider/model) - LLM call duration (p50/p95 by scope) - Token usage - input tokens/sec by scope - Token usage - output tokens/sec by scope - Operations rate (retain/recall/reflect/consolidation) - Operation duration p95 by operation type Configuration: - Mount prometheus.yml for metrics scraping - Mount dashboards directory for auto-provisioning - Add host.docker.internal mapping for container->host access - Dashboard provisioning with auto-reload every 10s Documentation: - Updated README with metrics viewing instructions - Added PromQL query examples - Documented dashboard access and navigation This provides full observability: traces (Tempo) + metrics (Prometheus/Mimir) + dashboards (Grafana)	2026-02-10 09:57:26 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	4b30b3a315	feat: add consolidation span hierarchy for tracing Add parent-child span structure for consolidation operations: - hindsight.consolidation: Parent span for each memory being processed - hindsight.consolidation_recall: Child span for finding related observations - LLM call span: Automatically created by LLM provider (scope="consolidation") This enables detailed timing breakdown in Grafana Tempo: - Total consolidation time per memory - Time spent in recall - Time spent in LLM call - Time spent executing actions (create/update) All consolidation tests pass (31/31).	2026-02-10 09:55:24 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	6797cdb79f	chore: remove SigNoz scripts and references Remove SigNoz observability stack in favor of Grafana LGTM as the sole recommended local development tracing solution. Changes: - Delete scripts/dev/signoz/ directory and all SigNoz configurations - Delete scripts/dev/start-signoz.sh startup script - Remove SigNoz references from .env.example - Remove SigNoz from OTLP backends list in configuration docs Grafana LGTM provides the same capabilities (traces, metrics, logs) in a simpler single-container setup.	2026-02-10 09:48:18 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	b0a9a5b8c5	feat: add Grafana LGTM stack for unified local observability Add Grafana LGTM (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) as the recommended local development observability stack. This provides traces, metrics, and logs in a single Docker container instead of separate tools. Changes: - Add scripts/dev/grafana/ with docker-compose and README - Add scripts/dev/start-grafana.sh startup script - Update .env.example to reference Grafana LGTM - Update configuration docs to emphasize Grafana LGTM as primary option - Reorder OTLP backend list to show Grafana LGTM first Benefits: - Single container vs multiple separate tools (Jaeger, SigNoz, etc.) - ~515MB image with full observability stack - Compatible with existing OTLP configuration - Simpler local development setup	2026-02-10 09:36:08 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	58e996a250	fix: properly serialize Pydantic models in span recording - Add _serialize_for_span() helper to handle Pydantic models - Update all providers to use the helper function - Fixes test failures with 'Object of type X is not JSON serializable'	2026-02-09 18:55:50 +01:00
Nicolò Boschi	0fe75e42b8	feat: add comprehensive OpenTelemetry tracing - Add tool execution spans for reflect operations - Add tool call information (names, params) to spans - Change verification scope from 'test' to 'verification' - Add hindsight.reflect_generation span for done() processing - Implement no-op tracer for improved code readability - Update documentation for OTEL configuration - Resolve merge conflicts from rebase	2026-02-09 18:41:20 +01:00
