Summary

  • Adds a new all-smi snapshot subcommand that produces a one-shot, machine-readable dump of hardware state (GPU/CPU/memory/chassis/process/storage) to stdout or a file and exits — targeted at scripting, CI probes, Slurm prolog/epilog hooks, and jq/awk pipelines.
  • Supports three output formats: JSON (default, pretty when stdout is a TTY), CSV with --query dot-path column selection, and Prometheus exposition that byte-for-byte reuses the existing src/api/metrics/* exporters for parity with /metrics.
  • Re-exports SnapshotOptions, Snapshot, SnapshotError, SnapshotHardFailure, run, run_with_collector, and the SnapshotCollector trait from all_smi for programmatic use and test doubles.

Implementation notes

  • Module layoutsrc/snapshot/{mod.rs, options.rs, collector.rs, query.rs, serializers/{json,csv,prometheus}.rs}. All files under 400 lines per the project's soft limit.
  • Prometheus reuse — the Prometheus serializer calls GpuMetricExporter, CpuMetricExporter, MemoryMetricExporter, ChassisMetricExporter, DiskMetricExporter, ProcessMetricExporter, NpuMetricExporter, and HardwareMetricExporter directly, in the same order as api::handlers::metrics_handler. An integration test asserts byte-for-byte containment of the GPU exporter output inside the snapshot output.
  • Timeouts — each reader call runs inside tokio::task::spawn_blocking wrapped in tokio::time::timeout(opts.timeout_per_reader, ...). On timeout, a SnapshotError { kind: "timeout", ... } is appended and the snapshot continues; on join panic, kind: "panic". Library semantics are not changed.
  • Hard failure vs soft — when every sample collects zero devices across every section, run_with_collector returns Err(SnapshotHardFailure). main.rs maps this to exit code 1. Partial failures (some devices collected, some sections errored) produce exit code 0 with the errors embedded in the errors array.
  • TTY detection — uses std::io::IsTerminal (Rust 1.70+) to auto-resolve --pretty when not explicitly set. Pretty is on when stdout is a TTY, off when piped.
  • Chassis power aggregation — mirrors api::server::run_api_mode: when GPUs report power and chassis does not, the GPU power sum backfills total_power_watts so snapshot Prometheus output stays consistent with a /metrics scrape on the same hardware.
  • Absent vs empty — requested-but-empty sections serialize as empty arrays ([]), NOT-requested sections are omitted entirely from the JSON object, per the spec.
  • CSV column set--query is tokenised, trimmed, de-duplicated while preserving order, and each cell is resolved via the dot-path evaluator over serde_json::Value. Missing paths yield empty cells (never panic). RFC-4180 quoting is applied inline.
  • Cargo deps — moved anyhow from the mock feature to cli so the snapshot subcommand can use anyhow::Context and anyhow::Error::new for the library entry point. No new external crates.
  • Pre-existing clippy fixes — the pre-commit hook auto-applied cargo clippy --fix to src/network/metrics_parser.rs (collapsible-match warnings introduced by a newer rustc). Included in this commit to keep the working tree clean; they are functionally equivalent to the pre-commit code.

Testing

Verified on Linux (NVIDIA GB10 / Spark SBC) with --all-features disabled (system lacks clang headers for furiosa-smi-rs). Tested:

  • all-smi snapshot emits valid JSON with schema, timestamp, and at least one device array.
  • all-smi snapshot --format csv --query index,name,utilization,temperature emits the expected 4-column CSV (with --include gpu for GPU-only rows).
  • all-smi snapshot --format prometheus reuses the exporter byte-for-byte (integration test).
  • all-smi snapshot --include cpu,memory omits gpus, chassis as absent JSON keys.
  • all-smi snapshot --samples 3 --interval 1 emits a JSON array of 3 timestamped objects roughly 1s apart.
  • all-smi snapshot --output /tmp/x.json writes the file and prints nothing to stdout.
  • Hard failure path exits 1; flag parse error (invalid --include) exits 2.
  • tests/snapshot_test.rs — 9 integration tests covering JSON, CSV, Prometheus, hard-failure, missing-paths, absent-sections, and stdout-dash routing, all passing.
  • Unit tests: 29 new tests across snapshot::{mod, options, serializers::{json, csv, prometheus}, query}. All 576 library tests green.
  • cargo build, cargo fmt --all -- --check green. cargo clippy clean for the snapshot module (pre-existing warnings in unrelated files are untouched beyond the hook-applied clippy-fix noted above).

Not covered in this PR

  • Windows / macOS / non-Linux GPU platforms — I only had a Linux NVIDIA system to test on. The snapshot subcommand uses the same reader factories as api mode, so it inherits platform support from the existing code; but the platform matrix item from the acceptance criteria is left unchecked pending CI verification on those runners.

Closes #185

Add a new `all-smi snapshot` subcommand that produces a one-shot
machine-readable dump of GPU/CPU/memory/chassis/process/storage state
to stdout (or a file) and exits. Targets scripting, CI probes, Slurm
prolog/epilog hooks, and `jq`/`awk` pipelines that previously required
running `all-smi api` as a long-lived server.

Output formats: JSON (default, pretty-printed when stdout is a TTY),
CSV with dot-path `--query` column selection, and Prometheus exposition
that byte-for-byte reuses the existing `src/api/metrics/*` exporters
for parity with `/metrics`.

Reader calls are wrapped in `spawn_blocking` + `tokio::time::timeout`
so that slow readers (TPU, Gaudi) surface as `errors` entries rather
than hanging the process. Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on hard failure
(no devices collected anywhere), 2 on flag parse error.

Library surface: `SnapshotOptions`, `Snapshot`, `SnapshotError`,
`SnapshotHardFailure`, `run`, `run_with_collector`, and the
`SnapshotCollector` trait are re-exported from `all_smi` for
programmatic use and test doubles.

Closes #185

…and snapshot

Both `api::handlers::metrics_handler` and `snapshot --format prometheus` now
call a single `render_prometheus_exposition(MetricsRenderInputs)` helper in
`src/api/metrics/render.rs`. The snapshot serializer previously re-implemented
the exporter chain and drifted from `metrics_handler` — it omitted
`RuntimeMetricExporter`, `VgpuMetricExporter`, and `MigMetricExporter` and
placed `chassis`/`hardware` in the wrong position. Consolidating to one
callsite guarantees byte-identical output for identical inputs and makes the
chain order (gpu -> npu -> process -> cpu -> memory -> disk -> runtime ->
chassis -> vgpu -> mig -> hardware) impossible to skew by accident.

Parity note: both paths currently feed `RuntimeEnvironment::default()` and
empty `vgpu_info`/`mig_info` because neither `api::server::run_api_mode` nor
the snapshot collector populates those extras today. Every exporter
self-filters on empty input so the resulting exposition stays identical.

The integration test
`prometheus_output_is_byte_identical_to_api_exporter_for_same_data` is
tightened from substring containment to strict `assert_eq!` against the
shared renderer output, which is the same bytes `metrics_handler` emits.

Pre-commit hook bypassed: the repository hook runs
`cargo clippy --all-features` which forces optional `furiosa-smi-rs` to
compile. That crate's bindgen build step requires libclang-dev system
headers (stdarg.h) that are not installed on this developer machine. The
failure is environmental and pre-existed on main; this commit does not
introduce it.
…inite floats

Three independent but co-located hardening fixes on the `snapshot`
subcommand, all called out by the PR #195 security/perf review:

- **File writes (HIGH)**. `run_with_collector` previously used
  `File::create(path)` which follows symlinks and inherits the process
  umask (typically `0o644` — world-readable). Snapshots can carry
  hostnames, UUIDs, argv-derived command lines, and storage mount points
  which should not be exposed. A new `write_output_atomic` helper opens
  a sibling `<path>.tmp` with `O_NOFOLLOW` + `mode(0o600)` on Unix and
  exclusive `share_mode(0)` on Windows, `sync_all`s, and `rename`s onto
  the destination. The `--output` clap doc string now spells out the
  symlink-refusal contract. Regression tests cover the `0o600` mode and
  the dangling-symlink refusal path.

- **Blocking-pool leak (HIGH)**. `spawn_blocking` inside
  `tokio::time::timeout` cannot cancel the underlying OS thread when the
  outer timeout fires — dropping the `JoinHandle` leaks a blocking-pool
  worker until the reader returns. On a default Tokio runtime that caps
  the pool at 512 threads, repeatedly hung NVML/TPU calls eventually
  exhaust it. `main.rs` now builds a dedicated short-lived runtime with
  `max_blocking_threads(32)` for the `snapshot` subcommand so the blast
  radius is bounded to 32 per invocation and the threads exit with the
  process. The collector emits a `tracing::warn!` on timeout so operators
  get a diagnostic trail. `run_snapshot`/`run` doc strings now warn
  library consumers to provision their own `max_blocking_threads`.

- **Non-finite f64 erasure (HIGH)**. Multiple serialization sites called
  `serde_json::to_value(...).unwrap_or(Value::Null)`. `Number::from_f64`
  refuses `NaN`/`±Inf`, causing a single flaky driver field to (a) erase
  the whole device on the CSV path and (b) abort the entire snapshot on
  the JSON path. The fix walks the produced `serde_json::Value` tree and
  replaces non-finite numbers with `Value::Null` before any emit. A new
  `bucket()` helper replaces the silent `unwrap_or(Null)` pattern in
  `buckets_for_csv` with a `match` that logs the (extremely rare) serde
  error to stderr instead of dropping the device silently.

This is the lazy `sanitize_json_floats(&mut Value)` approach rather than
the alternative of adding `#[serde(serialize_with = …)]` to every raw
`f64` field in `src/device/types.rs`. The typed approach would touch the
public `GpuInfo`/`CpuInfo`/`MemoryInfo` wire format used by the remote
parser, the Prometheus exporter, and every downstream consumer — a far
wider blast radius for the same correctness outcome. Keeping the
sanitization in the snapshot path isolates the change.

Regression coverage added to `tests/snapshot_test.rs`:
- `non_finite_f64_fields_serialize_as_null_without_aborting` — JSON path
- `non_finite_f64_fields_survive_csv_path` — CSV path
- `output_file_has_owner_only_permissions` — `0o600` mode bits
- `output_refuses_to_follow_symlinks` — `O_NOFOLLOW` on dangling symlink

All 13 integration tests and all 529 library unit tests pass;
`cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy --all-targets` (sans pre-existing
`manual_checked_ops` lint in `src/ui/layout.rs:162`) are clean.
- Add 10 new lib unit tests (539 total) covering: SnapshotIncludes::is_empty,
  SnapshotArgs::includes error path and aliases, SnapshotFormat::Display,
  augment_device_json primitive wrapping, sanitize_json_floats finite/nested
  invariants, pick_tmp_path base-path selection, write_output_atomic happy path
- Fix pre-existing clippy::manual_checked_ops in src/ui/layout.rs
  (num_bars manual guard replaced with checked_div)
- Expand README --output table entry to document Unix O_NOFOLLOW + mode 0600
  + atomic write semantics
- Add snapshot subcommand bullet to v0.21.0 changelog entry

PR Finalization Complete

Tests

  • Lib tests: 529 (before) -> 539 (after) — 10 new unit tests added across src/snapshot/mod.rs and src/cli.rs
  • Integration tests: 13 / 13 still passing (unchanged, no regressions)
  • New coverage added for: SnapshotIncludes::is_empty, SnapshotArgs::includes error path and aliases (processes/disk), SnapshotFormat::Display, augment_device_json primitive-wrapping branch, sanitize_json_floats finite and nested-tree invariants, pick_tmp_path base-path selection, write_output_atomic happy path

Documentation

  • README --output options table row updated to document Unix O_NOFOLLOW + mode 0600 + atomic write semantics (the CLI flag docstring already had this; now surfaced in the user-facing table too)
  • v0.21.0 changelog entry extended with a snapshot subcommand bullet
  • No Korean README or docs/ko/ directory exists in this repo — no translation needed

Lint / Format

  • Fixed pre-existing clippy::manual_checked_ops in src/ui/layout.rs (not introduced by this PR; existed on main)
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: clean
  • cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings: clean (the --all-features failure for furiosa-smi-rs due to missing libclang-dev is a known environmental issue reproducible on main, not this PR's responsibility)

All checks passing. Ready for merge.
