  • I added CHANGELOG entry for this change.
  • Change is not relevant to the end user.

Changes

When tracking where a suspicious query came from, one often needs to know the remote address or remote user that made the request. Adding these should help with debugging.

Verification

Built locally and ran locally then queried with http client.

http 'http://localhost:10902/api/v1/query?query=count(up)' --auth foo:bar
level=info ts=2023-02-22T00:29:36.712614Z caller=handler.go:195 org_id=anonymous msg="slow query detected" method=GET host=localhost:10902 path=/api/v1/query remote_user=foo remote_addr=[::1]:54112 time_taken=2.956678125s grafana_dashboard_uid=- grafana_panel_id=- trace_id=- param_query=count(up)

Notes

So this is posted slightly early as a proof of concept to see if the basic idea makes sense to the Thanos team.

It seems like reportQueryStats is not actually called from anywhere, only reportSlowQuery but I've updated both in the interest of keeping things in sync.

Is this the only way we can get the remote user? Are there maybe some Grafana headers we can use as fallback when basic auth is not used?

Grafana can be but one client. It's highly possible that users may use custom clients to query some data from Thanos.

Should we indicate in the changelog that this only works for basic auth?
