feat(server): MONITOR — stream executed commands, redacted, zero-cost when unattached - #484
Conversation
… when unattached
`redis-cli monitor` now works against Moon in Redis's exact line format:
`+<unix>.<micros> [<db> <addr>] "CMD" "arg" …`, every token quoted and escaped
per byte (sdscatrepr semantics — `"` `\`, `\n` `\r` `\t`, `\a` `\b`, `\xHH` for
everything outside printable ASCII, so UTF-8 escapes per byte rather than per
character). Measured against redis-server 8.6.1 over raw sockets, because the
feed's bytes ARE the contract and every client library reformats them before a
test could see the difference.
Three behaviours are not the obvious implementation, and each has a test that
fails loudly if someone "fixes" it back:
* The line is a SimpleString under BOTH RESP2 and RESP3 — not a Push frame. The
reflex straight after the RESP3 pub/sub work is to make it a Push; Redis does
not, and a client reading the feed expects `+`.
* Administrative commands are hidden at SUBCOMMAND granularity, and the rule is
NOT `CommandFlags::ADMIN | SKIP_MONITOR`. Both terms measured wrong: Moon's
ADMIN is container-granular and would have hidden six commands Redis shows
(INFO, DBSIZE, CLIENT GETNAME/ID, ACL WHOAMI/CAT, CLUSTER INFO/MYID), and
Redis feeds the entire EVAL family despite flagging it skip_monitor. The rule
is stated explicitly in src/monitor/ and pinned row-by-row against the
measured oracle, so a future flag change cannot silently start leaking
CONFIG SET or start hiding INFO.
* A monitor that stops reading has its CONNECTION DROPPED. Silently skipping
lines would leave an operator unable to tell a quiet server from a lossy feed;
blocking would let one slow TCP reader stall every shard.
Security. MONITOR reads every other client's arguments, so the attach verb sits
BELOW the ACL gate in both handlers — an intercept above it exempts itself from
ACL, which is the exact shape of the v0.8.6 inline-GET P0. AUTH's arguments and
the credentials in `HELLO … AUTH` are replaced at FORMATTING time, so a secret
is never written into a buffer to be filtered afterwards; a filter is one
refactor away from leaking, and the thing it would leak is a password. The tests
assert the literal secret appears nowhere in the bytes read, not merely that
"(redacted)" appears.
Cost. One relaxed atomic load per command when nobody is attached; the
hidden-set check, registry lookup, formatting and fan-out all live behind it in
a #[cold] path. While a monitor IS attached the inline fast path stands down:
it answers straight from the read buffer and never sees a peer address, so
rather than thread an address through the hottest function in the codebase for a
diagnostic feature, the command falls through to the fully-hooked path. That is
correct by construction — a future refactor of the inline path cannot silently
drop the feed, because there is no hook there to forget. Fast-path retention
when unattached is confirmed by moon_dispatch_path_total{path="local_inline"},
not inferred from latency.
Commands issued by a Lua script are fed with the literal `lua` in place of a
peer address, in execution order after the EVAL line, matching Redis. A script
command never passes a connection handler, so it needs its own hook in
scripting/bridge.rs; without it an operator watching a script-driven workload
would see every EVAL and none of its effects.
Tests: 22 integration (raw sockets) + 6 unit, green under BOTH runtimes —
monoio, the shipped default, and tokio. mon13 covers the inline path on
--shards 4; mon20 drives the measured admin table row by row; mon21 proves a
20,000-command burst against a dead monitor neither stalls the publisher nor
leaves the monitor half-alive. Every "not fed" test also asserts a FOLLOWING
command IS fed, so a broken feed cannot pass as correct hiding.
Known thinness, waived with a reason in the compat manifest and owned by
sdk-wire-form-fixes: Moon's ACL registry has no @admin category BIT, so
COMMAND INFO reports a thinner acl_categories array than redis-server for every
admin command. Not a permission hole — `+@ALL -@admin` does refuse MONITOR,
pinned by mon14.

Add monitor to the @all expansion.
get_category_commands("all") does not include monitor. A user granted +@all will therefore still fail the ACL check for MONITOR, even without -@admin.
Add monitor to the all list and add a positive +@all ACL test.

…t AUTH, and four teardown gaps Review of #484 found five real defects. Each is fixed red-first and pinned by a test that fails on the previous binary. 1. The keyspace-refusal rule was wrong, and permissively so. §3 said "keyspace command"; the implementation read that as `first_key != 0`. Re-measured against redis-server 8.6.1 (one fresh connection per probe — a shared socket desynchronises against the interleaved feed and gave two wrong readings on the first pass): DBSIZE, KEYS, SCAN, RANDOMKEY, FLUSHALL, FLUSHDB, SWAPDB, EVAL, EVALSHA, PUBLISH, SPUBLISH and MEMORY USAGE all carry `first_key == 0` and are ALL refused by Redis. A monitor connection could run `FLUSHALL` and `KEYS *`. The obvious repair — Redis's own WRITE|READONLY flag pair — is also wrong: Moon flags PING, ECHO, TIME, INFO, COMMAND, LASTSAVE and WAIT as READONLY and Redis flags none of them so, so that rule refuses PING on a monitor connection. This is the same trap as CommandFlags::ADMIN in the hidden-set, hit a second time in the same task: Moon's flags are named after Redis's and do not mean the same thing. The rule is now explicit and measured, matching is_hidden's shape, and pinned row by row by mon23. A unit test had asserted DBSIZE was SERVED, with a comment claiming it was measured. It never had been. That wrong belief encoded as a test is what let the wrong rule ship green; the test is corrected and the row it got wrong is now its own regression guard. 2. The first AUTH of a session was never fed — on both runtimes. Both handlers gate on `!conn.authenticated` above the ACL-exempt intercepts and `continue` out of it, so the feed hook below never saw the one AUTH that actually carries a credential. mon8/mon9 passed because they run against a server with no password, where that gate is already satisfied — a redaction test that never exercises an authenticating connection tests the wrong path. Fed inside the gate itself; mon24/mon25 run against --requirepass. 3. Connection migration bypassed every MONITOR teardown path. `migration_eligible()` excluded MULTI, cross-txn, subscribers, tracking and replconf, but not monitors. Migration returns from the handler through its own path, before the disconnect detach block, so a migrated monitor left a dead sink registered forever — which also pins `any_attached()` true and holds the inline fast path down for the life of the process. 4. A rejected attach left the connection half-attached: marked attached with the receiver dropped, so keyspace commands were refused, no reply was sent, no feed line arrived, and nothing could detect it. It now evicts the stale registration and re-attaches, or fails loudly. 5. mon21's closed-connection assertion was vacuous. `after.is_empty() || …` is satisfied by an empty drain — i.e. by exactly the starved-but-open connection the backpressure policy exists to prevent. It now asserts end-of-stream. Also in this round: * The sharded MONITOR block was a hand-written second copy of the attach rule and had already drifted in structure — the failure mode monitor_mode's own doc comment warns about. Both handlers now call one helper. * The feed's fan-out took a process-global RwLock read on every emitted command, against the "per-shard locks only, no global lock on the write path" rule. The read path is now an ArcSwap load with no lock at all; attach and detach publish copy-on-write under a Mutex the command path never touches. * mon26 added: `+@all` grants MONITOR. Review flagged the @ALL expansion as a defect; it is not one (Moon's @ALL is a wildcard, not the category name list), and mon26 is what proved it. mon14 alone could not have — a `-@admin` refusal test passes just as well when no grant reaches MONITOR at all. Tests: 27 integration + 6 unit, green under BOTH runtimes. lib 4620 monoio / 3786 tokio.

Three things that are not the obvious implementation
Each has a test that fails loudly if someone "fixes" it back.
The line is a SimpleString under RESP3 too — not a Push frame. The reflex straight after
the RESP3 pub/sub work (#483) is to make it a Push. Redis doesn't, and a client reading the
feed expects
+. (mon2)Admin commands are hidden at subcommand granularity, and the rule is NOT

mon20. That test is the regression guard: a future flag change cannot silentlystart leaking
CONFIG SETor start hidingINFO.A monitor that stops reading has its connection dropped. Silently skipping lines would
leave an operator unable to tell a quiet server from a lossy feed; blocking would let one slow
TCP reader stall every shard. (
mon21— a 20,000-command burst against a dead monitor.)Security
MONITOR reads every other client's arguments, so the attach verb sits below the ACL gate in
both handlers. An intercept above it exempts itself from ACL — the exact shape of the v0.8.6
inline-GET P0.
Credentials are redacted at formatting time, so a secret is never written into a buffer to
be filtered afterwards. A filter is one refactor away from leaking, and the thing it would leak
is a password.
mon8/mon9assert the literal secret appears nowhere in the bytes read,not merely that
(redacted)appears — a formatter emitting both would pass the weak form.Cost
One relaxed atomic load per command when nobody is attached; the hidden-set check, registry
lookup, formatting and fan-out all live behind it in a
#[cold]path.While a monitor is attached, the inline fast path stands down. It answers straight from the
read buffer and never sees a peer address, so rather than thread an address through the hottest
function in the codebase for a diagnostic feature, the command falls through to the fully-hooked
path. This is correct by construction — a future refactor of the inline path cannot silently
drop the feed, because there is no hook there to forget. The contract named three hook sites;
this is the one deviation, recorded in the task record rather than absorbed silently.
mon13(the test written for that clause) passes unchanged on--shards 4for plain GET andplain SET. Fast-path retention when unattached is confirmed by
moon_dispatch_path_total{path="local_inline"}= 200 over 200 GETs — not inferred from latency.Lua
Script-issued commands are fed with the literal
luain place of a peer address, in executionorder after the
EVALline. A script command never passes a connection handler, so all threecontracted hook sites structurally cannot see it — without the
scripting/bridge.rshook anoperator watching a script-driven workload sees every
EVALand none of its effects. Found byre-reading the frozen contract against the build, written red-first (
mon22failed with theEVAL line present and its effects absent), then fixed.
