Summary

  • ConsumerReader.GetConsumerCounts called the RabbitMQ management API with no error handling, so any failure (unreachable host, wrong port/credentials — e.g. management URL/username/password not configured, falling back to a derived-but-wrong AMQP-based URL) threw and propagated to every caller: dashboard summary, alerts, consumers, retries, dead letters, and work group live stats.
  • Wrap the call the same way GetQueueInfo already does, degrading to empty queue data instead of throwing.

Test plan

  • dotnet build SW.Bus/SW.Bus.csproj -c Release succeeds
  • Downstream: Bitween-api staging no longer 500s on /api/ops/* once bumped to the version this PR publishes

…mer count

GetConsumerCounts threw whenever the management API was unreachable or
misconfigured (e.g. missing management URL/credentials), taking down every
dashboard/ops endpoint built on top of it. Catch and degrade to empty queue
data instead, matching GetQueueInfo's existing failure handling.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary

  • Updated ConsumerReader.GetConsumerCounts to catch RabbitMQ management API failures from managementClient.GetQueuesAsync.
  • Returns an empty queue array on failure, consistent with GetQueueInfo.
  • Prevents management API failures from propagating to dashboard summaries, alerts, consumer data, retries, dead letters, and work group live statistics.
  • No public API declarations changed.

Risk

risk:low

The change narrows failure handling to the cache factory and changes failures from exceptions to empty data. Callers may not distinguish an unavailable management API from zero queues.

Security-sensitive areas

  • RabbitMQ management API connectivity, credentials, and configuration are involved.
  • The change does not alter credential handling or access control.
  • Exceptions are suppressed, so operators may need separate logs or monitoring to detect configuration or authentication failures.

Test coverage impact

  • The project builds successfully in Release configuration.
  • No new automated test coverage is identified for unreachable hosts, invalid ports, invalid credentials, or missing management configuration.
  • Downstream staging validation remains pending.

Operational concerns

  • Dashboard and operations endpoints now degrade to empty queue data when the management API fails.
  • Validate staging behavior and confirm that management API failures remain observable through logging or monitoring.
  • Rollback requires restoring exception propagation in GetConsumerCounts; no migration or deployment data changes are required.

Walkthrough

GetConsumerCounts now catches exceptions from the RabbitMQ management API. Successful calls update lastUpdatedUtc and return queues. Failed calls return an empty queue array.

Changes

Consumer count retrieval

Layer / File(s) Summary
Queue API fallback
SW.Bus/ConsumerReader.cs
GetConsumerCounts catches errors from managementClient.GetQueuesAsync, updates lastUpdatedUtc after successful retrieval, and returns Array.Empty<Queue>() after failures.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e5798

The change prevents RabbitMQ management API failures from breaking consumer-count endpoints, but a failed fetch may be cached and exposed as zero consumers, which can mislead dashboards and alerts until the cache expires. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to avoid caching failed results and represent unavailable monitoring data clearly.

- Around line 122-136: The queue-fetch failure path in the GetOrCreateAsync
factory must not cache Array.Empty<Queue>(), since that masks later recovery.
Update the catch around managementClient.GetQueuesAsync to evict the "queues"
cache entry or bypass caching for the fallback, while preserving the successful
lastUpdatedUtc update and result caching; cover failure followed by recovery
before cache expiry.

122-136: 🩺 Stability & Availability

No change needed for the missing URL path.

IServiceCollectionExtensions assigns a default ManagementUrl before registering ConsumerReader, as documented by BusOptions. The reported constructor failure applies only to unsupported direct construction.

Comment thread SW.Bus/ConsumerReader.cs
A failure was cached under the same key/TTL as a success, so a transient
management API blip reported "no queues" for up to MonitoringCacheSeconds
even after the API recovered. Only cache successful fetches now; a failure
falls through to empty data without poisoning the next call.
