Flagd is not working for cart service

[287611]

We are using opentelemetry demo 2.0. Using helmchart to deploy opentelemetry demo application in kubernetes cluster

Enabled the flagd from feature page for cart service.

In the previous versions, we will get error metrics. But now error metrics are not generated if we enable flagd for cart service. Is there any dependent flagd that needs to be enabled along with cart service to see error metrics. We see problem only with error metrics, logs and traces seems to be fine

Hey @287611 I looked into this. I can see the error manifest itself in the checkout service when it makes a call to Empty the Cart (and the flag is turned on). I'm not sure if this flag generated errors elsewhere before, if it did please provide more details about that so we can check on any regressions.

Hi @puckpuck , thanks for the reply. Yes previously we were using version 0.33.8, it aws able to generate same kind of error. But the problem which we are facing now is error is reflecting only in traces and not in metrics. For example if we use metrics like traces_service_graph_request_failed_total , in the version 0.33.8 we were able to see the error in metrics also so that it is easy to correlate traces and metrics. Now this metrics traces_service_graph_request_failed_total is showing all fine with cart service which is a bit misleading

@287611 were you getting cart traces_service_graph_request_failed_total before?

I had a quick look and after adding servicegraph connector to the demo and enabling the cartFailure I got the following result:

Checkout traces_service_graph_request_failed_total just started increasing after enabling the feature flag.

Hi @puckpuck , traces_service_graph_request_failed_total was increasing for cartservice in the version 0.33.0 (helm chart). Now when this empty cart is not working, I feel the metrics shoud increase in cart and not in checkout service as empty cart is a feature of cart service and not checkout service. Even for me the traces_service_graph_request_failed_total metrics for other services but not for cart. Is there a way to make the metrics increase for cart when there is a problem in cart service ?

This is opentelemetry 1.0 and the chart version is 0.33.8, it produces the correct result when the flagd is enabled in cart service
