⚠️ Breaking changes

Prometheus metrics backend migrated to Yabeda.

Dawarich now uses the Yabeda monitoring framework instead of discourse/prometheus_exporter. Self-hosters who scrape Prometheus metrics from Dawarich should update their configuration.

If Sidekiq is unreachable during a scrape, web returns its own metrics only and
logs a warning. Prometheus sees a momentary gap in sidekiq_* rather than a
failed scrape.

Scrape target (requires HTTP basic auth with METRICS_USERNAME / METRICS_PASSWORD):

  • Web: http://dawarich_app:3000/metrics

Custom dawarich_archive_* metric names are unchanged. Dashboards and alerts built on these metrics continue to work.

Infrastructure metric names have changed. If you have dashboards built on ruby_*, active_record_*, or similar metrics emitted by prometheus_exporter, you must update them:

Category Before After
HTTP requests (total) ruby_http_requests_total rails_requests_total
HTTP request duration ruby_http_request_duration_seconds rails_request_duration
Sidekiq job count ruby_sidekiq_jobs_total sidekiq_jobs_executed_total
Sidekiq failed jobs ruby_sidekiq_failed_jobs_total sidekiq_jobs_failed_total
Sidekiq job duration ruby_sidekiq_job_duration_seconds sidekiq_job_runtime_seconds
Sidekiq queue latency ruby_sidekiq_queue_latency_seconds sidekiq_queue_latency
Sidekiq queue backlog ruby_sidekiq_queue_backlog_total sidekiq_jobs_waiting_count
Sidekiq process count ruby_sidekiq_process_count sidekiq_active_processes
Puma workers ruby_puma_workers puma_workers
Puma backlog ruby_puma_request_backlog puma_backlog
Puma thread pool capacity ruby_puma_thread_pool_capacity puma_pool_capacity
ActiveRecord pool active_record_connection_pool_connections activerecord_connection_pool_size
Process/GC (e.g. ruby_rss, ruby_heap_live_slots) emitted not emitted by default; add a custom Yabeda group if needed

Removed environment variables:

  • PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_HOST, PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_HOST_SIDEKIQ — no longer needed. Metrics are served in-process by each application.

Retained environment variables:

  • PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_ENABLED — still the single on/off switch.
  • METRICS_USERNAME, METRICS_PASSWORD — unchanged.
  • PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_PORT — port the in-process Sidekiq metrics exporter binds to (default 9394).

New optional environment variable:

  • SIDEKIQ_METRICS_URL — internal URL the web container uses to fetch Sidekiq metrics (default http://dawarich_sidekiq:9394/metrics). Override on Dokku, Kubernetes, or any deployment where the worker container's hostname differs from the docker-compose default.

Prometheus scrape config example: 

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: dawarich
    metrics_path: /metrics
    basic_auth:
      username: prometheus     # set via METRICS_USERNAME
      password: prometheus     # set via METRICS_PASSWORD
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['dawarich_app:3000']

Fixed

  • Fixed monthly stats failing with a "Stats update failed" notification when the month's distance exceeded the int4 limit (2,147,483,647 m ≈ 2.15M km). Affected months stayed stuck on the prior value until recalculated. #1996
  • 500 error on the imports page. #2683
  • Insights weekly pattern now refreshes after monthly stats change, instead of showing a stale snapshot until the next monthly digest job runs. #2478
  • Points with no reverse-geocoding result (ocean, wilderness) are now marked as attempted instead of being re-queued every nightly run; use "Start Reverse Geocoding" to retry after switching providers. #2271
  • Activity detection now falls back to displacement when the tracker reports 0 m/s, so OwnTracks Significant Change mode and similar low-power setups stop misclassifying real movement as stationary. Run Map v2 → Settings → Recalculate tracks & stats to apply to existing tracks. #2390
  • Redis no longer balloons (multi-GB) when browsing photos with Immich or Photoprism connected. Photo thumbnails are no longer copied into the server-side Redis cache; the browser caches them directly via Cache-Control instead. #1609
  • Drag-selecting a region on the map now includes visits attached to your saved Areas (Home, Work, etc.), instead of silently dropping area-only visits from the visit tray. #2420
