Re: [aerogear-dev] Simplify the metrics for sanity

Hi, we do have a problem w/ our current metrics processing. It's complicated (lot's of CDI events and two different JMS messaging approaches...) and also slow (JPQL/JDBC) and it does consume a lot of memory and processing time. This is leading to bugs (incorrect stats) and eventually causes down times, due to heavy processing. I'd like to dramatically simplify our metrics processing... to something like: Success -> could connect to 3rd party, to deliver tokens Failure -> something went wrong when talking to 3rd party service. Right now we do have metrics on push delivery: Pending -> the submission to the 3rd party provider is in flight Success -> we were able to connect, and could deliver *something* Failure -> something obvious, like invalid certificate (APNs), no connection to 3rd party possible, etc Besides that, we also do a count on targeted devices. I think there is not really a huge value. For instance if APNs rejects some tokens, we do not track those, we just show how many tokens our DB did find, not more. We don't show any of real interest. We could improve this (see below), but I doubt that the current implementation is able to handle this well. Also, on Android/FCM the numbers are even worse. We do, internally, leverage their topics, so we usually end up sending exactly one push to FCM, regardless of how many Android device-tokens we have in the DB. The counter says 1 (one), because the server did target one topic (not n devices). So, for now, I'd like to dramatically simplify the code, and go with the above Success/Failure solution. However, I honestly think in the long run, we should get something pluggable, that allows us to process the metrics independently, outside of the UPS code base. I think my previous Kafka mail is addressing this partially: The actual response and details about the push job should be logged to some Kafka system, and an independent process should be able to process those. This will give us much more freedom and flexibility. Perhaps also, in the future, we want some different stats, and something like Prometheus /Grafana: https://prometheus.io/docs/visualization/grafana/ A more flexible system, with independent metrics 'calculation' processing will help us here. Any thoughts?
