Limit concurrent Redfish calls per BMC client and endpoint so collectors sharing an endpoint do not overload the BMC. Requests to different endpoints remain independently limited. bmc_request_concurrency defaults to 1 and accepts a non-zero value.

Also removed redundant BMC collector-specific concurrency settings.

Review Change Stack

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a centralized limit for concurrent Redfish requests per BMC.
    • The default limit is four concurrent requests; higher positive values can be configured.
    • The setting applies across sensor collection, discovery, metrics, and event-record retrieval.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Excess requests now wait for available capacity, improving reliability and preventing uncontrolled overlap.
  • Documentation
    • Updated configuration examples and operational guidance, including validation that rejects zero values.

Walkthrough

BmcClient now enforces a configurable, nonzero concurrency limit for Redfish requests. A top-level setting defaults to four requests per BMC and flows through endpoint sources and collectors. Collector-specific concurrency settings were removed.

Changes

BMC request concurrency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Concurrency configuration contract
crates/health/src/config.rs, crates/health/example/config.example.toml, docs/..., crates/health/Cargo.toml
Config adds bmc_request_concurrency with a default of 4 and validates zero and excessive values. Collector-specific concurrency settings were removed. Examples and documentation use the centralized setting.
BMC backend concurrency limit
crates/health/src/bmc.rs, crates/health/src/endpoint/mod.rs, crates/health/src/discovery/spawn.rs
BmcClient wraps its HTTP backend in ConcurrencyLimitedBmc. Tests verify that a second request waits until a permit becomes available.
Endpoint and collector propagation
crates/health/src/api_client.rs, crates/health/src/endpoint/..., crates/health/src/lib.rs, crates/health/src/discovery/..., crates/health/src/collectors/...
Endpoint sources and collectors receive the shared nonzero limit. Request buffering and SSE semaphores use that value directly. Existing public constructors retain a minimum default.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 24b7f

The PR changes per-BMC Redfish concurrency, but legacy settings may be silently ignored and the documented default of 1 conflicts with the implemented default of 4, which could change request concurrency for existing deployments. This is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to clarify compatibility and the intended default.

Add coverage for independence between BmcClient instances.

This test proves serialization for two operations on one client. It does not prove that different clients can operate independently. Hold an operation on client_a, then assert that an operation on client_b enters before releasing client_a.

This follows the PR contract that requests through different BmcClient instances remain independent.

Serialize guarded Redfish operations through the client shared by an endpoint so its collectors cannot issue concurrent requests through that client. Requests through different BMC clients remain independent.

Preserve or explicitly migrate the removed concurrency keys.

Configuration file structures are a guaranteed compatibility surface. Existing fetch_concurrency, sensor_fetch_concurrency, and event_record_fetch_concurrency keys are silently ignored and replaced by bmc_request_concurrency. Preserve these keys or provide an operator-visible migration and test it.

Preserve legacy concurrency settings or document the breaking change.

fetch_concurrency, sensor_fetch_concurrency, and event_record_fetch_concurrency are silently ignored. Unless bmc_request_concurrency is set separately, the global default applies. Map these aliases or document and test the migration behavior.
