Walkthrough

A new Prometheus counter metric was added to track the total number of rate-limited transactions. The Collector interface and its implementations were updated to support this metric. The requester service now records rate-limited transactions using the new method without EOA-specific labeling.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
metrics/collector.go, metrics/nop.go Added rateLimitedTransactionsCounter metric, updated Collector interface, DefaultCollector struct, constructor, and implemented TransactionRateLimited method and no-op method.
services/requester/requester.go Modified rate limiting logic in SendRawTransaction to call TransactionRateLimited instead of RequestRateLimited.

Poem

🐇 Counting hops on transactions tight,
Rate limits caught in Prometheus’ sight.
No EOA tags, just totals clear,
Metrics rise, the data’s near.
In code we trust, the counts delight,
Hop along, keep stats in flight! 🐰📈✨

80-83: Consider the cardinality implications of using EOA addresses as labels.

The metric definition is correct, but using EOA addresses as labels could potentially create a high-cardinality metric if there are many unique addresses that get rate-limited. This might impact Prometheus performance and storage requirements.

Consider implementing a cardinality limit or monitoring the number of unique labels to ensure it stays within acceptable bounds.

🔇 Additional comments (7)
metrics/collector.go (5)

99-99: LGTM: Metric properly registered.

The new metric is correctly added to the metrics slice for registration.


115-115: LGTM: Interface extension is well-defined.

The method signature is clear and follows the existing naming convention.


135-135: LGTM: Struct field addition is consistent.

The field follows the same naming pattern as other metric fields in the struct.


158-158: LGTM: Constructor initialization is correct.

The new metric field is properly initialized in the constructor.


233-237: LGTM: Method implementation is correct.

The implementation correctly uses prometheus.Labels with the address parameter and increments the counter. The pattern matches other similar methods in the file.

metrics/nop.go (1)

27-27: LGTM: No-op implementation is correct.

The empty implementation correctly satisfies the interface requirement for scenarios where metrics collection is disabled.

services/requester/requester.go (1)

222-222: LGTM: Improved metric granularity for rate limiting.

The change from generic method-based rate limiting metrics to EOA-specific tracking provides better observability. Using from.Hex() correctly identifies the rate-limited account.

I am using a CounterVec here, not sure if a GaugeVec would be preferable though.

let's not include the address as a label. I think it's fine to just have a regular counter.

as a best practice, don't include arbitrary fields as labels otherwise prometheus will a separate metric for each address. On a high volume server, this can create a huge number of metrics.

Good point 👍 Updated in a74c713 .
I used a plain prometheus.Counter instead of a prometheus.CounterVec, since we don't need any labels.
