It is in the nature of our application that errors may occur in rapid succession if anything in the packet processing path fails. Most of the time, these repeated errors don't add any additional information so reporting one of them to Sentry is more than enough. To achieve this, we add a `before_send` callback that utilizes a concurrent cache with an upper bound of 10000 items and a TTL of 5 minutes. In other words, if we have submitted an event to Sentry that had the exact same message in the last 5 minutes, we will not send it. Internally, `moka` uses a concurrent hash map and therefore, the key is hashed and not actually stored. Hash codes are u64, meaning the memory footprint of this cache is only ~ 64kb (not accounting for constant overhead of the cache internals).
Rust development guide
Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.
We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml.
If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you.
Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.
Reading Client logs
The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.
To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:
cd path/to/logs # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'
Resulting in, e.g.
2024-04-01T18:25:47.237661392Z INFO started log
2024-04-01T18:25:47.238193266Z INFO GIT_VERSION = 1.0.0-pre.11-35-gcc0d43531
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295243016Z INFO No token / actor_name on disk, starting in signed-out state
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295360641Z INFO null
Benchmarking on Linux
The recommended way for benchmarking any of the Rust components is Linux' perf utility.
For example, to attach to a running application, do:
- Ensure the binary you are profiling is compiled with the
releaseprofile. sudo perf record -g --freq 10000 --pid $(pgrep <your-binary>).- Run the speed test or whatever load-inducing task you want to measure.
sudo perf script > profile.perf- Open profiler.firefox.com and load
profile.perf
Instead of attaching to a process with --pid, you can also specify the path to executable directly.
That is useful if you want to capture perf data for a test or a micro-benchmark.
