Bug #6398
closedSuricata 7.0.1 threads object in stats contains memcap_pressure scalars
Description
The suricata_exporter translating from Suricata's dump-counters JSON output to Prometheus metrics expects all entries in the "threads" object to map thread names to further JSON objects containing stats for individual threads.
"threads": { "thread_name": { ... }, ... }
With Suricata 7.0.1, the "threads" object now also contains following memcap_pressure_ entries that aren't actual threads and don't have a type object as value:
"threads" "FM#01": { "flow": { "mgr": { ... }, "memcap_pressure": 0, "memcap_pressure_max": 0, "FM#02": { "flow": { "mgr": { ...
Entries for "memcap_pressure" and "memcap_pressure_max" exist in the top-level "message", too, so they seem 1) redundant and 2) out-of place in the "threads" object.
Jeff pointed out commit 2d96b6e13b799fa40a5d3a7d5cd7729af614ab1a as a possible culprit.
After reverting that commit, the "memcap_pressure_" entries indeed show up under the flow-manager threads again which looks much more expected. The entry in the top-level "message", however, vanished.
"FM#01": { "flow": { "mgr": { ... "memcap_pressure": 5, "memcap_pressure_max": 5 }, "FM#02": { "flow": { "mgr": { ... "memcap_pressure": 0, "memcap_pressure_max": 0 },
