Creates a new dashboard to monitor migrating a farm to Maestro and comparing it's performance agains the legacy Dispatcher.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added monitoring for how long frames wait before booking, with breakdowns by environment, host, show, and scheduler.
    • Added a Grafana dashboard for tracking scheduler migration, farm utilisation, booking pace, throughput, managed-show health, and safety indicators.
    • The dashboard also provides views of allocation utilisation, waiting backlog, scheduler activity, and frame outcomes.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved waiting-time accuracy by preserving a frame’s waiting start time while it remains in the waiting state.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change exposes frame update timestamps, records booking durations for dispatcher and Maestro paths, and adds a Grafana dashboard with migration, booking pace, throughput, health, and safety-net panels.

Changes

Time-to-book observability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Frame timestamp data path
cuebot/src/main/java/com/imageworks/spcue/DispatchFrame.java, cuebot/src/main/java/com/imageworks/spcue/dao/postgres/DispatchQuery.java, cuebot/src/main/java/com/imageworks/spcue/dao/postgres/FrameDaoJdbc.java, cuebot/src/test/java/com/imageworks/spcue/test/dao/postgres/FrameDaoTests.java
Dispatch queries select ts_updated, and JDBC mapping stores it in DispatchFrame.dateUpdated. Updates from WAITING to WAITING preserve the timestamp. The test checks preservation and the timestamp change on transition to RUNNING.
Booking latency metrics
cuebot/src/main/java/com/imageworks/spcue/PrometheusMetricsCollector.java, cuebot/src/main/java/com/imageworks/spcue/dispatcher/DispatchSupportService.java
A labeled histogram records nonnegative frame booking durations for dispatcher and Maestro booking paths when the frame timestamp and metrics collector are available.
Maestro migration dashboard
sandbox/config/grafana/dashboards/maestro_migration.json
The Grafana dashboard adds panels for utilisation, booking pace, managed-show health, engine health, safety-net counters, and stranded cores. One panel queries the time-to-book histogram metric.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 87c36

The PR preserves the waiting timestamp used for booking measurements and adds scheduler-level migration monitoring. No unresolved merge risk is evident from the reviewed changes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 87c36

The inspected changes preserve existing booking and concurrency controls while adding timing visibility. No introduced security issue was substantiated. Production monitoring access and deployment exposure were not established, so the assessment remains bounded rather than treating the change as risk-free.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The added data exposure is booking-latency telemetry grouped by deployment, Cuebot host, show, and scheduler. Show and deployment identifiers already appear in existing completion and resource histograms; their presence is not a new identity-disclosure condition introduced by this PR.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The changed state update remains parameterized and constrained by frame identity and optimistic version. Timestamp preservation changes the assigned value, not the mutation predicate or ownership fence.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The batch path retains capacity reservation, version-guarded winner selection, race-loser refunds, and proc insertion before metric recording. Only winning bookings reach the new maestro observation loop.

Preserve ts_updated for same-state WAITING updates.

DispatchFrame.dateUpdated receives frame.ts_updated from the dispatch query. Both dispatcher and Maestro use this value when recording time-to-book. However, ManageJob.retryFrames can retry an already WAITING frame. When manualStopFrame returns false, JobManagerSupport.retryFrame calls updateFrameState(..., WAITING). FrameDaoJdbc.UPDATE_FRAME_STATE then resets ts_updated even though the state does not change. A later dispatch query captures this newer timestamp, so the histogram omits the earlier WAITING interval and understates time-to-book.

Keep the timestamp unchanged for same-state updates in FrameDaoJdbc.UPDATE_FRAME_STATE. Continue resetting it when the state changes to WAITING.

+ + "ts_updated = CASE WHEN str_state = ? THEN ts_updated ELSE current_timestamp END, "
