fix(hotreload): dropping configuration channels is ignored by consumers - #1594
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR updates configuration watch handling across workers, endpoints, host scanning, gRPC output, oTel output, and rate limiting. Successful updates still trigger reloads or rescans. Closed channels disable further polling. ChangesConfiguration watch handling

In the context of #1536 I tried to disable hot-reloading configuration and that is currently causing the main Reloader object to be dropped and closing all its watch::Senders, which in turn causes all receiver ends to constantly return errors that are ignored by all components listening on them and flooding the logs with messages of configuration being reloaded. This is fixed by using preconditions on the `tokio::select!` macro of all `watch::Receiver` consumers. If the channel is closed (when hot-reloading is disabled), the future for the branches (the call to `.changed()`) is still created, but they are not polled for completion, effectively removing the branch from the `tokio::select!`. The `.has_changed()` method is synchronous and doesn't mark the latest value in the channel as seen, which means calling it in the loop of the consumers will not lead to them missing events. The cost of calling `.has_changed()` is a single atomic load operation, since this is monitoring configuration changes and these happen spuriously, the value should rarely change and the call should be negligible. That said, configuration checks in tight loops use a local variable for caching the state of the channel. Of note, this has been broken since the original implementation, it is only noticeable now because there are some components that become noisy when the channels are dropped.

If the sender publishes a final interval and then closes,
has_changed()returns an error even thoughchanged()can still consume the unseen value. (docs.rs) This guard disables the branch, so the notifier keeps the previous interval.Track closure only after
changed()returnsErr, as the paths branch does at Lines 688-693. This repeats the previous review concern, which remains present at this site.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Tokio 1.40 tokio::time::interval Duration::ZERO panics zero period documentation
💡 Result:
Yes, calling tokio::time::interval or tokio::time::interval_at with a Duration of Duration::ZERO will cause the program to panic [1][2][3]. Both functions are explicitly documented to panic if the provided period is zero [1][3]. The implementation enforces this requirement using an assertion, as seen in the source code [2][4]: assert!(period > Duration::new(0, 0), "period must be non-zero."); This behavior is consistent across Tokio versions, including 1.40 [5]. If a zero-duration interval is required, this is considered an invalid configuration, as an interval must have a positive duration to yield ticks at a fixed rate [1][6].

Handle a zero interval after a live configuration update.
When scan_interval changes from non-zero to zero, start_scan_notifier exits the inner loop and then constructs tokio::time::interval(Duration::ZERO), which panics. Treat zero as disabled and wait for a later non-zero update.
