📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved reporting consistency for web and log service metrics, including garbage-collection counts, active archive counts, registry sizes, and process identifiers. This helps ensure monitoring data is published with the expected value types.

Walkthrough

The changes update metric values in loggroup.c, timer.c, and webgroup.c to use pmAtomValue storage before calling mmv_set. The published counts and map sizes remain unchanged.

Changes

Metric value updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Store metric values in pmAtomValue src/libpcp_web/src/loggroup.c, src/libpcp_web/src/timer.c, src/libpcp_web/src/webgroup.c	Garbage-collection counts, active archive counts, map sizes, and the PID metric use the ul member of pmAtomValue when setting metric values.

---

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3d6d5

The changed metric updates preserve their values under the MMV contract. The noted 32-bit mem.maxrss issue is in an unchanged call, so this PR adds no mergeability risk.

_{A rabbit checks each metric’s place,
And stores its value with care and grace.
Counts hop into .ul and stay,
While map sizes join the way.
The PID finds its atom too,
Then hops along beneath the moon.}

🟡 Minor · Pass ru_maxrss through pmAtomValue. · timer.c:184

src/libpcp_web/src/timer.c:184
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Pass ru_maxrss through pmAtomValue.

On a 32-bit Linux build, ru_maxrss is a 32-bit long, while mmv_set copies a full pmAtomValue. This can read past the field and publish an incorrect mem.maxrss value. Store it in value.ull first:

🐛 Suggested fix

-    mmv_set(map, server.metrics[SERVER_MEM_MAXRSS], &usage.ru_maxrss);
+    value.ull = usage.ru_maxrss;
+    mmv_set(map, server.metrics[SERVER_MEM_MAXRSS], &value);

Update the mem.maxrss metric update using mmv_set to first store usage.ru_maxrss
in the pmAtomValue value.ull field, then pass the address of value to mmv_set so
it receives the full value type.
