ROB-887 Cache node IP lookups for prometheus alerts - #2154
Conversation
Replace the per-alert full NodeList scan (and its per-node log line) with a 15-minute TTL ip->node-name cache, refreshed only on expiry or cache miss.

Walkthrough
ChangesNode IP cache
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This PR replaces repeated node-list scans with an IP cache, but wall-clock changes can make entries expire too early or remain stale, invalid TTL values can cause repeated refreshes, and concurrent alerts may still duplicate refresh work. The bounded impact is mainly cache freshness and reduced CPU/API-load effectiveness, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Use a monotonic clock for cache expiration.
Replace both time.time() calls used for _node_ip_cache_time with time.monotonic(). Wall-clock adjustments can otherwise extend or shorten the 15-minute TTL.

Synchronize node-cache refreshes across alert workers.
Web.alerts_queue runs 20 worker threads by default. Protect NodeList.listNode() with a lock and avoid repeating a refresh when another worker has already refreshed the cache. Re-checking only ip not in _node_name_by_ip still repeats refreshes for unknown IPs.

Validate NODE_IP_CACHE_TTL_SEC. Negative values always expire the cache. A value of 0 also refreshes the cache on each __find_node_by_ip call, causing repeated NodeList.listNode() calls. Reject negative values and define the intended behavior for 0.

Problem
When a prometheus alert's node label arrives as
IP:PORT,AlertEventBuilder.__find_node_by_ipfetched and parsed the full NodeList on every such alert and logged one info line per node while scanning for a matching address. On a 325-node cluster this produced 325 log lines per alert (~97% of runner log volume) and a significant repeated CPU/allocation cost.Fix
ip -> node namecache (15-minute TTL), refreshed only on expiry or cache miss.Node().read(name)— same call the node-name path already uses — so node data is always fetched fresh.logging.infospam is gone with the loop.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
