Fixes #511

What

Two coupled defects that broke the Kubernetes metrics path and left the Cluster Topology view stale.

1. K8s sidecar registration (#510)

  • /orchestrator/register now allows a nodeId that belongs to the discovered cluster topology (in K8s), creating the sidecar's metricsServerMap entry on first register. The strict pre-existing-entry gate is preserved for spawned Web/Electron collectors.
  • resolveCollectorKey falls back to a shared ORCHESTRATOR_KEY in K8s mode, since the orchestrator never spawns sidecars and so has no per-node key for them. The key is provisioned to both the orchestrator and the sidecars via a Kubernetes Secret.

2. Stale cluster topology broadcast (#511)

  • refreshAllClusterRegistries now re-discovers each tracked cluster (through a live client belonging to that cluster) before broadcasting, so clients receive current topology instead of the connect-time snapshot. Clusters with no live client are left unchanged.

Testing

  • npm test --workspace=server: 246/246 pass (2 new).
  • npm run build --workspace=server: success.
  • npx eslint on changed files: clean.
  • Live K8s verification to be done separately

Two coupled defects broke the Kubernetes metrics path and left the
Cluster Topology view stale:

1. Sidecar registration (regressed in #379): the register handler
   required a pre-existing metricsServerMap entry, but in K8s the
   orchestrator never spawns collectors, so externally-managed sidecars
   were always rejected (401/404). Registration is now allowed when the
   nodeId belongs to the discovered cluster topology, and the sidecar's
   entry is created on first register. Scoped to K8s so the strict
   no-entry gate is preserved for spawned (Web/Electron) collectors.

   Sidecars authenticate with a shared ORCHESTRATOR_KEY provisioned to
   both the orchestrator and every sidecar via a Kubernetes Secret;
   resolveCollectorKey falls back to that key only in K8s mode.

2. Stale topology broadcast (regressed in #279): refreshAllClusterRegistries
   broadcast the registry every 30s but no longer re-discovered topology,
   so clients kept the connect-time snapshot. It now re-discovers each
   tracked cluster through a live client belonging to that cluster before
   broadcasting.

Adds tests covering registry refresh on topology change and that
reconcile acts on the refreshed topology. Updates the K8s example
manifests (Secret + env wiring) and deployment docs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change enables authenticated Kubernetes sidecar registration and refreshes cluster topology from live or preconfigured clients before periodic broadcasts. Tests cover registration, refresh target selection, registry replacement, and cluster ID preservation.

Changes

Metrics control plane corrections

Layer / File(s) Summary
Kubernetes sidecar registration and authentication
apps/server/src/metrics-orchestrator.ts, examples/k8s/*, docs-site/src/content/docs/deployment/kubernetes.md, apps/server/src/__tests__/orchestrator-k8s-register.test.ts
Kubernetes registration uses the shared ORCHESTRATOR_KEY. Known topology nodes can create metrics entries. Kubernetes manifests, documentation, and tests cover this flow.
Live topology refresh and reconciliation
apps/server/src/index.ts, apps/server/src/metrics-orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/connection.ts
The refresh loop selects a live or preconfigured client, limits rediscovery to 10 seconds, preserves explicit cluster IDs, and broadcasts the resulting registry.
Refresh validation
apps/server/src/__tests__/metrics-orchestrator.test.ts, apps/server/src/__tests__/topology-refresh-preconfigured.test.ts
Tests cover live-client selection, preconfigured fallback, stale topology replacement, and registry isolation.

Build connectionIdsByCluster once and use it both to pick a client for
topology re-discovery and to target the broadcast, instead of making a
second pass over `clients` for a separate clientByCluster map. The client
is reached via clients.get(connectionId).client, keyed by the same
connectionIds already grouped for the broadcast.

No behavior change.

Signed-off-by: ravjotb <ravjot.brar@improving.com>
app.yaml defined a Secret named valkey-admin-orchestrator-key with a
committed placeholder value. Applying it after creating a real random
Secret of the same name would overwrite the real key with the public
placeholder, leaving the orchestrator and every sidecar signing with a
known key (CWE-798). An attacker able to reach the orchestrator could
then register a known cluster node with an attacker-controlled metrics
URI.

Remove the Secret definition from app.yaml — the manifest now only
references the Secret by name. The key is created out-of-band with a
user-supplied random value (kubectl create secret ...), so apply can
never clobber it. Docs updated to state the Secret is created first and
is intentionally not defined in the manifest.

- Carry per-cluster connection metadata forward on refresh instead of
  reverting to initialConnectionDetails: updateClusterNodeRegistry now
  takes a required NodeInfo, and the refresh loop sources it from an
  existing node of that cluster. Narrow discoverCluster to NodeInfo and
  drop the redundant getClusterTopology wrapper.
- Re-discover preconfigured clusters (K8s sidecars, headless Web) through
  the initial client each cycle, since they have no entry in `clients`;
  otherwise a node scaled in after boot never registers until a UI
  session opens. Await the boot-time K8s discovery.
- Bound each cluster's re-discovery with a timeout so one hung CLUSTER
  SLOTS can't stall the whole broadcast loop.
- examples/k8s/valkey-statefulset.yaml: give the inline metrics sidecar
  the ORCHESTRATOR_KEY it needs, and document that the Secret must exist
  and the cluster must be formed before the sidecars start.
- Document that the shared orchestrator key is a cluster-scoped
  credential and that the K8s metrics host is not pinned to loopback.
- Rework the topology-refresh test to exercise real discovery via a fake
  CLUSTER SLOTS client; drop a tautological reconcile test.

updateClusterNodeRegistry keyed the registry on the clusterId derived
from CLUSTER SLOTS (the first slot range's primary). That id changes on
failover/resharding, so re-discovering an existing cluster could write a
new entry under a different id and leave the old one orphaned in the map.

Add an optional clusterId override: the refresh loop passes the cluster's
existing id so the entry is overwritten in place, while boot-time first
discovery still falls back to the derived id. Adds a test covering the
changed-derived-id case.

Signed-off-by: ravjotb <ravjot.brar@improving.com>
The branch's new behavior was largely untested, and the K8s-gated paths
are unreachable from the default test suite because isKubernetes is a
module-load constant.

- orchestrator-k8s-register.test.ts sets DEPLOYMENT_MODE=K8 before import
  to cover the shared-key path: resolveCollectorKey falls back to
  ORCHESTRATOR_KEY (and still prefers a minted per-node key), and
  handleRegister admits a signed sidecar for a known cluster node with no
  pre-existing entry while rejecting unknown nodes and wrong-key signatures.
- Extract resolveClusterRefreshTarget (the refresh client/nodeInfo choice)
  so it is unit-testable: a user-connected cluster carries its own node
  metadata forward; a preconfigured/headless cluster falls back to the
  initial client + initialConnectionDetails. Covered in metrics-orchestrator
  (user path / skip) and topology-refresh-preconfigured (fallback path).
  getInitialClient is routed via internals so the fallback is mockable;
  no behavior change.

Use one timestamp for the body and signature.

createOrchestratorAuthCredential signs the timestamp from signRegister(). handleRegister verifies against the request body's timestamp. If the separate Date.now() calls cross a millisecond boundary, the valid-registration test fails authentication. The unknown-node test can also receive 401 before reaching the topology-membership check.

Create one timestamp and pass it to both the request body and signRegister().

Contain refresh-target failures per cluster.

For a preconfigured cluster without a user client, resolveClusterRefreshTarget awaits internals.getInitialClient(). That call awaits createOrchestratorValkeyClient, which resolves to GlideClient.createClient. A client-creation rejection can escape the per-cluster callback. Promise.all then rejects, so the broadcast loop is skipped for every cluster in that refresh pass. Catch and log target-resolution failures inside the callback. The existing registry remains unchanged when refresh fails.

Valkey GLIDE Node.js 2.4.0 requestTimeout customCommand timeout semantics official documentation

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In Valkey GLIDE for Node.js (including version 2.4.0), the requestTimeout configuration and customCommand timeout behavior follow these established semantics: Request Timeout Semantics The requestTimeout parameter defines the maximum duration (in milliseconds) the client will wait for a request to complete [1][2][3]. This period encompasses the entire request lifecycle, including: - Sending the request to the server [1][4][3]. - Waiting for the server&#39;s response [1][4][3]. - Any required reconnection or retry attempts [1][4][3]. If a pending request exceeds this duration, the client returns a timeout error [1][3]. The default value is 250 milliseconds if not explicitly configured [1][3]. Custom Command Behavior The customCommand method executes a raw Valkey command [5][6]. Its timeout behavior is governed by the client-level requestTimeout configuration [1][4][3]. Specifically: - There is no separate "custom command timeout" parameter; the customCommand operation is subject to the same requestTimeout enforcement as standard API commands [1][3]. - As of Valkey GLIDE version 2.4.0, core improvements ensure that per-command response timeouts—including those for custom and blocking commands—are strictly enforced at the multiplexed connection layer, preventing commands from waiting indefinitely [7]. Important Considerations - Lazy Connections: If lazyConnect is enabled, the requestTimeout does not apply to the initial connection establishment [1][3]. Instead, the connection establishment is governed by a separate connectionTimeout setting [8][3]. The requestTimeout only begins counting after the connection is successfully established [1][3]. - Batch Operations: For batch requests, a specific timeout can be provided within BaseBatchOptions [9]. If not provided, it defaults to the client&#39;s configured requestTimeout [9]. - Reliability: You should ensure your requestTimeout is appropriately tuned to your p99 latency; a value that is too tight can lead to false-positive timeouts, while a value that is too loose delays failure detection [10].

Clear the timeout after discovery settles.

Promise.race leaves the delay active. A successful updateClusterNodeRegistry therefore emits a false timeout warning after 10 seconds. Clear the timer in a finally block.

The configured requestTimeout: 5000 already applies to customCommand, so the command-level timeout and overlapping-refresh concern do not apply to these clients.

Comment thread apps/server/src/metrics-orchestrator.ts Outdated
resolveClusterRefreshTarget fell back to the initial client for any
client-less cluster when preConfiguredConnection was set. In a mixed
deployment, an inactive cluster could then be rediscovered through a
different preconfigured cluster's client, storing that topology under the
inactive cluster's id.

Track the preconfigured clusterId (recorded at boot from the Web and K8s
discovery paths; updateClusterNodeRegistry now returns the written id) and
only use the initial client when the cluster being refreshed matches it.
Other client-less clusters are left unchanged. A user-connected cluster
still refreshes through its own client, so the preconfigured cluster is
covered by that path when a session is open.
