Summary

  • The "Transactions per second" dashboard chart plotted the raw xact_commit/xact_rollback delta between two polls without dividing by the elapsed time, so it only read correctly at the 1s refresh interval; at any other interval it showed transactions per refresh interval instead of per second.
  • statsReducer now accepts an optional elapsed (seconds) on the action and divides the counter delta by it. Graphs.jsx time-stamps each TPS sample when its request is sent, stores that with the counter baseline, and passes the measured time between samples, so a poll delayed by browser timer throttling does not overstate TPS. The other counters (tuples in/out, block I/O) are not labelled as per-second metrics, so they are left as raw per-interval deltas.

Test plan

  • Jest case for statsReducer covering the counter normalisation by elapsed time.
  • Component-level Jest test driving the Graphs poll path with a 5 second refresh and a delayed poll; fails against the unfixed code.
  • npx jest regression/javascript/dashboard/ passes (15/15).
  • eslint clean on the changed files.

Closes #10273

Walkthrough

The dashboard now divides TPS counter deltas by the elapsed time between samples. Tests check normalized reducer output and TPS values when polling is delayed.

Elapsed-time counter normalization

statsReducer divides counter deltas by elapsed time. TPS polling records sample timestamps and passes elapsed seconds to the reducer. Tests check normalized values, including a delayed sample.

This change makes the "Transactions per second" dashboard chart correctly divide by the actual measured time between samples instead of assuming the configured refresh interval, fixing inflated/deflated TPS readings when polling is delayed or throttled. Verification of the preference-change reset path and first-sample behavior found no new correctness issues introduced by this change, so it appears safe to merge.

Add a Graphs caller-path test for TPS normalization.

The new test exercises only statsReducer with rate: 5. The Graphs tests disable polling, and the non-default preference test asserts only the poll delay. A regression that removes rate: preferences['tps_stats_refresh'] from the tpsStatsReduce call can therefore leave the tests green while the chart displays a raw counter delta instead of a per-second value. Add a component-level test that supplies a non-1-second refresh rate, processes TPS data, and asserts the chart data is normalized.

Ignore TPS responses from the previous refresh interval.

A request started before the preference change can resolve after the reset. The timer cleanup does not cancel that request. Its callback uses the old counterData and rate, then writes the old tps_stats back into state. This can append a stale or mis-scaled TPS value under the new interval.

Add a generation guard to ignore responses and errors from the previous interval.

Addressed in 55a2d7b by the measured-interval change rather than a generation guard. The baseline now carries its own sample timestamp, so a response from a request made before the interval change computes its delta against its own baseline and the time actually elapsed, which gives a correct per-second value. The TPS history is cleared on the change, so at worst that one correct point appears in the new series. For the same reason the baseline reset on preference change was no longer needed and has been removed.

@dpage, thanks for the explanation. I checked commit 55a2d7b53. It removes the TPS baseline reset and divides the counter delta by the time between sample timestamps. That addresses the stale-rate concern for a successful response.

The original finding also covered errors. A request started before the preference change can still fail afterward. Its catch callback has no generation check, so it can reset the new chart and set an error. I’ll leave this thread open for that case.

Learning: In `web/pgadmin/dashboard/static/js/Graphs.jsx`, `Graphs` normalizes TPS counter deltas by the measured time between sample timestamps. A change to `tps_stats_refresh` clears TPS chart history but retains the TPS counter baseline and its sample timestamp.

I don't think the error case needs a guard. A request that fails after the interval change has still failed: the server or connection returned an error, and resetting the charts and showing that error is the right response whenever the request was sent. Ignoring it would hide a real fault until the next poll. That error path also covers all five charts, is unrelated to TPS normalisation and was there before this PR, so changing it here would be out of scope.

The configured tps_stats_refresh value is the requested interval, not
the time actually elapsed between two counter samples, so a poll delayed
by browser timer throttling overstated TPS. Each TPS sample is now
time-stamped when its request is sent and the delta is divided by the
measured elapsed seconds.

Because the baseline carries its own timestamp, a change of refresh
interval, or a response from a request made before that change, no
longer mis-scales the next value, so the baseline reset on preference
change is no longer needed.

Adds a component-level test driving the poll path with a 5 second

Re the nitpick asking for a caller-path test: added in 55a2d7b. The new <Graphs /> TPS polling test renders Graphs with a 5 second refresh, mocks the stats endpoint, and asserts the plotted TPS values. It fails against both the unfixed code (50 rather than 10) and the previous revision of this PR (20 rather than 10 after a delayed poll).

The Transactions per second chart plotted the raw xact_commit/xact_rollback
delta between two polls without dividing by the elapsed time, so the value
was only correct when the refresh interval was 1 second; at any other
interval it showed transactions per interval instead of per second.
