# Session-Buddy Polling Integration - Implementation Summary

## Overview

Production-ready async MCP polling integration from Mahavishnu to Session-Buddy for session telemetry collection. The implementation is complete and ready for use.

**Status:** ✅ **COMPLETE** - All components implemented and tested

## What Was Implemented

### 1. Core Poller Module

**File:** `/Users/les/Projects/mahavishnu/mahavishnu/integrations/session_buddy_poller.py`

**Features:**
- Async HTTP-based MCP client using `httpx`
- Configurable polling interval (default: 30 seconds)
- Graceful degradation on errors
- Circuit breaker pattern for fault tolerance
- OpenTelemetry metric conversion and recording
- Comprehensive error handling with retries
- Type hints throughout
- Full docstring coverage

**Key Classes:**
- `SessionBuddyPoller` - Main poller class
- `PollerStatus` - Status dataclass

**Key Methods:**
- `start()` - Start polling loop
- `stop()` - Stop polling loop
- `poll_once()` - Execute single polling cycle
- `get_status()` - Get current poller status
- `_call_mcp_tool()` - Call Session-Buddy MCP tool
- `_convert_to_otel()` - Convert metrics to OTel format
- `_record_metrics()` - Record metrics to OTel collector

**MCP Tools Polled:**
1. `get_activity_summary` - Session activity data
2. `get_workflow_metrics` - Workflow execution metrics
3. `get_session_analytics` - Session statistics
4. `get_performance_metrics` - Performance data (CPU, memory, response time)

### 2. Configuration Updates

**File:** `/Users/les/Projects/mahavishnu/mahavishnu/core/config.py`

**New Configuration Fields:**
```python
session_buddy_polling_enabled: bool = False
session_buddy_polling_endpoint: str = "http://localhost:8678/mcp"
session_buddy_polling_interval_seconds: int = 30
session_buddy_polling_timeout_seconds: int = 10
session_buddy_polling_max_retries: int = 3
session_buddy_polling_retry_delay_seconds: int = 5
session_buddy_polling_circuit_breaker_threshold: int = 5
session_buddy_polling_metrics_to_collect: list[str] = [...]
```

**Features:**
- Type-safe Pydantic validation
- Environment variable override support
- YAML configuration file support
- Default values with sensible ranges

### 3. YAML Configuration

**File:** `/Users/les/Projects/mahavishnu/settings/mahavishnu.yaml`

**New Section:**
```yaml
# Session-Buddy polling integration
session_buddy_polling_enabled: false
session_buddy_polling_endpoint: "http://localhost:8678/mcp"
session_buddy_polling_interval_seconds: 30
session_buddy_polling_timeout_seconds: 10
session_buddy_polling_max_retries: 3
session_buddy_polling_retry_delay_seconds: 5
session_buddy_polling_circuit_breaker_threshold: 5
session_buddy_polling_metrics_to_collect:
  - get_activity_summary

  - get_session_analytics
  - get_performance_metrics
```

### 4. App Integration

**File:** `/Users/les/Projects/mahavishnu/mahavishnu/core/app.py`

**New Methods:**
- `_init_session_buddy_poller()` - Initialize poller on app startup
- `start_poller()` - Start the poller (async)
- `stop_poller()` - Stop the poller (async)

**Attributes:**
- `MahavishnuApp.session_buddy_poller` - Poller instance (if enabled)

**Lifecycle:**
1. Poller is initialized in `MahavishnuApp.__init__()` if enabled
2. Poller must be started explicitly via `await app.start_poller()`
3. Poller runs in background at configured interval
4. Poller should be stopped via `await app.stop_poller()` before shutdown

- `session_buddy.workflows.failed` - Workflows failed
- `session_buddy.checkpoints.total` - Total checkpoints
- `session_buddy_poller.poll_cycles_total` - Total poll cycles
- `session_buddy_poller.poll_errors_total` - Total poll errors

### Gauges

## Error Handling & Resilience

### Retry Logic
- Exponential backoff: `retry_delay * 2^attempt`
- Max retries: 3 (configurable)
- Retry on: HTTP errors, timeouts

### Circuit Breaker
- Opens after: 5 consecutive failures (configurable)
- Cooldown period: 5 * interval seconds
- Auto-closes after cooldown
- Manual reset available

### Graceful Degradation
- Continues polling if individual metrics fail
- Logs warnings but doesn't crash
- Skips unavailable metrics
- Recovers automatically on next cycle

## Quick Start

### 1. Enable Polling

Edit `/Users/les/Projects/mahavishnu/settings/mahavishnu.yaml`:

```yaml
session_buddy_polling_enabled: true
```

### 2. Use in Code

```python
import asyncio
from mahavishnu.core import MahavishnuApp

async def main():
    app = MahavishnuApp()
    await app.start_poller()

    # Poller runs in background
    status = await app.session_buddy_poller.get_status()
    print(f"Poll cycles: {status.poll_cycles}")

    await asyncio.sleep(60)  # Run for 1 minute
    await app.stop_poller()

asyncio.run(main())
```

### 3. Environment Override

```bash
export MAHAVISHNU_SESSION_BUDDY_POLLING__ENABLED=true
export MAHAVISHNU_SESSION_BUDDY_POLLING__INTERVAL_SECONDS=60
```

import asyncio
from mahavishnu.core import MahavishnuApp

async def test_poller():
    # Enable polling via environment or config
    import os
    os.environ["MAHAVISHNU_SESSION_BUDDY_POLLING__ENABLED"] = "true"

    app = MahavishnuApp()
    await app.start_poller()

    # Run for 2 minutes
    for _ in range(12):

import pytest
from mahavishnu.integrations import SessionBuddyPoller
from mahavishnu.core.config import MahavishnuSettings

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_poller_initialization():
    config = MahavishnuSettings(session_buddy_polling_enabled=True)
    poller = SessionBuddyPoller(config)
    assert poller.enabled == True
    assert poller.endpoint == "http://localhost:8678/mcp"

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_single_poll_cycle():
    # Mock Session-Buddy MCP server
    # Test single poll cycle

            name: mahavishnu-config
```

## Monitoring & Observability

### Poller Health Check

```python
status = await app.session_buddy_poller.get_status()

is_healthy = (
    status.running and
    not status.circuit_breaker_open and
    status.errors == 0
)
```

### Metrics to Monitor

- `session_buddy_poller.poll_cycles_total` - Should increase steadily
- `session_buddy_poller.poll_errors_total` - Should stay low
- `session_buddy_poller.poll_duration_seconds` - Should be < 1s
- `session_buddy_poller.circuit_breaker_state` - Should be 0 (closed)

### Alerts to Configure

1. **Circuit Breaker Open**: `circuit_breaker_state == 1`
2. **High Error Rate**: `poll_errors_total > 10 in 5m`
3. **Slow Polling**: `poll_duration_seconds > 5s`
4. **No Poll Cycles**: `poll_cycles_total == 0 for 5m`

## Troubleshooting

### Poller Not Starting

1. Check configuration: `session_buddy_polling_enabled: true`
2. Check endpoint URL: `http://localhost:8678/mcp`
3. Check Session-Buddy is running
4. Check network connectivity

### Connection Errors

1. Verify Session-Buddy is accessible: `curl http://localhost:8678/mcp`
2. Check firewall rules
3. Verify endpoint URL is correct
4. Check Session-Buddy logs

### Circuit Breaker Open

1. Wait for cooldown (5 * interval)
2. Fix underlying issue (Session-Buddy unavailable)
3. Manually reset: `poller._circuit_breaker_open = False`

### No Metrics Collected

1. Enable debug logging
2. Check `metrics_to_collect` configuration
3. Verify Session-Buddy MCP tools exist
4. Check OTel collector is running

## Future Enhancements

1. **Batch collection** - Collect multiple metrics in single call
2. **Webhook support** - Push-based metrics from Session-Buddy
3. **Metric aggregation** - Aggregate across multiple Session-Buddy instances
4. **Custom queries** - Allow custom metric queries
5. **Alerting** - Built-in alerting on metric thresholds
6. **Metrics caching** - Cache metrics to reduce load
