feat(anomaly): advise on connection-exhaustion admin lockout (valkey#3944) - #389
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds a per-connection client lockout detector. It evaluates sustained ChangesClient lockout risk
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A storage failure can mark the new lockout advisory as handled even though it was not durably recorded, causing later escalation to be missed after recovery or restart. A refusal-only warning can also claim sustained pressure while omitting the refusal count, and overlapping alerts may add operator noise, so the PR is not merge-ready until the persistence path and warning message are corrected.

Sorry, but another 2 issues that should be fixed before merge
-
CRITICAL fires on any rejectedDelta > 0 - no minimum count, no utilization/streak gate. A single transient refused connection during a brief burst pages CRITICAL. Escalation-only hysteresis keeps it to one page per episode, so this may be intended - but a lone rejected connection is a thin trigger for top severity. Consider a small floor, or document that CRITICAL is deliberately hair-trigger.
-
A second refusal episode while parked at high utilization is suppressed. Re-arming to none needs util < 85% and no refusals; a server steady at ≥85% whose refusals stop then resume won't re-escalate. Defensible anti-flap behavior, but a worsening-after-a-lull case goes unreported and isn't tested - worth listing as a known limitation.

Documented both in 2. Second episode suppressed — confirmed and documented. Traced it: 1. Hair-trigger CRITICAL — documented, not changed. I took the "or document" branch of your suggestion deliberately: adding a floor changes when operators get paged, and that is a product call on alert sensitivity rather than a bug, so it should be yours rather than something I pick. The docstring now says CRITICAL is reached by any If you would rather have a floor, say what it should be (a count, or a count-within-window) and I will add it with tests. 613 anomaly tests pass. |

Refusal warning uses saturation copy
Medium Severity
Refusals without a sustained high-util streak now emit WARNING, but buildClientLockoutEvent still only has a saturation headline. That copy claims the pool held at or above LOCKOUT_UTILIZATION_PCT for streak polls even when utilization is low and streak is 0, and it never mentions rejectedDelta. Operators get a false lockout-risk story and no indication that connections were actually refused.

Reconsidered and changed the behaviour, in CRITICAL now needs both signals. It requires refusals AND a sustained streak at Four existing tests encoded the old rule and were rewritten rather than deleted, since each was pinning something still worth pinning:
Added a service-level case asserting WARNING-only for refusals without sustained utilization. Note this interacts with the limitation I documented in the previous round: re-arming still needs 616 anomaly tests pass, |

…3944) - Add CLIENT_LOCKOUT_RISK: sustained connected_clients/maxclients pressure escalated to CRITICAL the moment rejected_connections moves - Require a 3-poll streak at >=85% so a burst of short-lived connections never fires, unlike the single-sample CLIENT_SATURATION metric - Treat an unreadable maxclients as an observation gap that preserves the streak, and clamp a counter reset to a zero delta - Annotate the finding with blocked clients and whether the pool is still climbing; advise raising maxclients or reserving admin capacity - Clear per-connection state in onConnectionRemoved Closes #382
- Only a full recovery to none re-arms alerting; a partial de-escalation keeps the high-water mark, so intermittent refusals against a full ceiling no longer re-fire a CRITICAL every other poll - Commit the escalated level only after the emit succeeds, matching detectClientSaturation, so a failed emit is retried instead of being swallowed by the hysteresis - Advance the rejected_connections baseline only on a usable sample, so refusals during an unreadable-maxclients gap still surface
anomaly_events.id is UUID PRIMARY KEY on Postgres, so a composite string id is rejected and the finding never leaves memory.
…ered evaluateClientLockout advanced lastRejected on the poll that produced a finding, so a failed emit retried against a counter showing no new refusals and degraded CRITICAL to WARNING or silence. Stage the reading and let commitClientLockoutLevel apply it, matching the level hysteresis.
State that a second refusal episode at sustained high utilization never re-escalates, because re-arming needs utilization back under the ceiling, and that CRITICAL is deliberately reached by any single refused connection. Both were intentional but undocumented.
Any single refused connection previously paged CRITICAL, with no utilization gate, so a transient burst the server absorbed read the same as a real lockout. CRITICAL now needs refusals AND a sustained streak at the ceiling; refusals on their own report WARNING and escalate if the pressure persists. Sustained utilization with no refusals is unchanged.

Wrong warning for refusal-only path
Medium Severity
Non-critical CLIENT_LOCKOUT_RISK events always claim connected_clients has sat at or above LOCKOUT_UTILIZATION_PCT for finding.streak polls. Refusals without a sustained streak still emit WARNING, so the headline can report a lockout-level ceiling while utilization is far below it and rejectedDelta is omitted. Operators then get the wrong condition and the wrong remedy for a transient refusal burst.

Do not acknowledge a finding after a failed persistence write.
addAnomaly catches storage.saveAnomalyEvent errors and resolves without setting event.persisted. Line 1361 then commits the detector level and refusal baseline. Later polls do not retry the escalation, so a storage outage can lose the advisory after cache eviction or restart.
Commit only after durable persistence succeeds. Add a service test that fails the storage write and verifies the next poll retries.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Use a refusal-specific WARNING message when utilization is not sustained.
A positive refusal delta can produce WARNING with finding.streak === 0. The current message then states that utilization held at or above the threshold for zero polls. It also omits the refusal delta.
Build a separate WARNING message for this branch. Update the refusal-only service test to assert the delta and absence of a sustained-pressure claim.

Suppress overlapping client-limit alerts. At 90% utilization, CLIENT_SATURATION emits on the first sample, while CLIENT_LOCKOUT_RISK emits after three consecutive polls. A refusal delta of at least 5 can also emit REJECTED_CONNECTIONS; no cross-detector suppression exists. Gate or correlate these events per node.

Closes #382. Stacked on #388 (which is stacked on #387) — this PR's own diff
is the last commit.
Adds a
CLIENT_LOCKOUT_RISKadvisory: asconnected_clientsnearsmaxclients,every new connection is refused — including the operator's own admin and
control-plane traffic — so the instance becomes hard to inspect or rescue at
exactly the moment you need to.
Upstream's answer is a reserved/priority connection quota
(
priority-net-sources,priority-maxclients,prioritize-unix-sockets,major-decision-approvedwith PR #3936 in progress). That shrinks the blastradius but does not remove the hazard of running near the ceiling, and will not
exist on the many already-deployed versions.
How this differs from
CLIENT_SATURATIONThe existing detector fires off a single sample crossing 80%/95% and reports
raw saturation. Two things differ here, and they are the reason this is a
separate metric rather than another tier on that one:
short-lived connections that clears on the next poll never fires. Workloads
that intentionally run a large stable pool sit high without being at risk.
rejected_connectionscounter escalates straight to CRITICAL — that is the lockout itself, not the
approach to it, and it is worth interrupting someone for.
The result is one finding that says "you are about to lose, or have already
lost, your own way in", with the remedy, instead of two unrelated numbers on a
dashboard.
REJECTED_CONNECTIONS(raw counter delta) andCLIENT_SATURATION(instantaneous ratio) both stay as they are.
Edge cases worth a look in review
maxclientspreserves the streak rather than resetting it. Amissing sample mid-climb should not silently disarm a warning that is three
polls in.
maxclientsof 0, null, or a nullconnected_clientsall returncleanly with no divide-by-zero.
rejected_connectionsback to 0; without the clamp that reads as a negativerate, and on the first poll after startup a large lifetime counter would fire
CRITICAL for refusals that happened days ago. The first poll only establishes
the baseline.
detectClientSaturation: quiet whilesteady, re-arms after falling back to none.
Tests
high-but-flat below threshold silent, CRITICAL on refusals without waiting for
the streak, warning→critical escalation then quiet, re-arm after recovery,

Medium Risk
New stateful detection on the anomaly poll path affects alerting volume and operator response; logic is well-tested and isolated but mis-tuned thresholds could miss or over-page incidents.

client-lockout-detectormodule owns the logic: ≥85% utilization for 3 consecutive polls before WARNING, refusal deltas paired with sustained ceiling for CRITICAL, escalation-only hysteresis with post-emitcommitClientLockoutLevel, and per-connection state cleared on disconnect.AnomalyServicewires polling viadetectClientLockoutRiskand emits actionable messages (e.g.priority-net-sources). The dashboard labels the metric Admin Lockout Risk.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit ffb5f3c. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
