Summary

Split out of #170 (2/3).

  • Replace the mcp_gateway-specific MCPGatewaySlackProvider with the shared CaliperSlackProvider, driven by notifications.slack.channel_id.
  • Enable Caliper KPI analyze for mcp_gateway (analysis_config + version comparison labels, current_kpis).
  • Expand Locust/Prometheus KPI parsing: per-op metrics, broker/envoy metrics, HTTP 4xx, and a new prom_summary.py helper.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Slack notifications for analysis results, including failures, regressions, improvements, summaries, metadata, and report links.
    • Added MCP Gateway performance metrics for tool calls, handshakes, response times, resource usage, and HTTP 4xx rates.
    • Added Prometheus-based resource and traffic metrics to analysis reports.
  • Enhancements
    • Improved KPI comparisons using gateway version, server count, user count, and target details.
    • Expanded metric labels and reporting for protocol modes and gateway versions.

Split from openshift-psap#170. Replaces the mcp_gateway-specific Slack provider with
the shared CaliperSlackProvider (notifications.slack.channel_id),
enables Caliper KPI analyze for mcp_gateway, and expands
Locust/Prometheus KPI parsing (per-op metrics, broker/envoy, HTTP 4xx).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The parser now extracts MCP operation and Prometheus resource KPIs. The MCP Gateway plugin adds analysis comparison settings. Caliper now provides Slack notifications from analyze reports and resolves the provider automatically when a channel is configured.

Changes

MCP Gateway observability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Locust and Prometheus KPI pipeline
projects/caliper/prometheus_metrics/queries.yaml, projects/mcp_gateway/orchestration/config.yaml, projects/mcp_gateway/postprocess/mcp_gateway/parsing/*
The parser combines Locust operation metrics with Prometheus CPU, memory, and HTTP 4xx summaries. The KPI module exposes the new metrics and labels.
KPI comparison configuration
projects/mcp_gateway/postprocess/mcp_gateway/plugin.py, projects/mcp_gateway/postprocess/tests/test_mcp_gateway_plugin.py
The plugin defines comparison keys, sorting keys, regression limits, and baseline requirements. Tests cover parsing, KPI computation, labels, analysis configuration, and query loading.
Caliper Slack notification flow
projects/agentic_tools/ci_base.py, projects/core/notifications/caliper_slack.py, projects/core/tests/test_caliper_slack.py, projects/mcp_gateway/orchestration/config.yaml
CaliperSlackProvider loads analyze reports, filters significant changes, formats messages, and skips quiet successes. Provider resolution uses the built-in provider when a Slack channel is configured. The previous MCP Gateway-specific notification module is removed.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b7a42

The change adds shared notifications and expanded KPI parsing, but current calculations can produce incorrect latency percentiles and failure-rate percentages, while Slack may show the wrong baseline version. These results can mislead regression analysis and notifications, so the PR is not merge-ready until the calculations and version selection are corrected.

Select the baseline version by comparison key.

baseline_values keys can contain multiple key=value pairs. _baseline_version_hint currently parses only the first pair, so a preceding preset key can populate Slack’s *Versions:* field with the wrong value. Select the mcp_gateway_version entry and return None when it is absent.

Convert the tool-call failure fraction to a percentage.

The parser test defines tool_call_failure_rate as 10 / 810. This KPI declares unit %, so it reports 0.01235% instead of 1.23457%. Multiply the fraction by 100 here, or change the unit and help text to identify a ratio.

Proposed fix
 def mcp_gw_tool_call_failure_rate(unified_record) -> float:
     """Tool Call Failure Rate KPI."""
-    return _require(unified_record, "tool_call_failure_rate")
+    return _require(unified_record, "tool_call_failure_rate") * 100

Calculate combined tool-call percentiles from distributions.

A weighted average of per-operation percentile values is not a combined percentile. tool_call_p50_ms, tool_call_p95_ms, and tool_call_p99_ms can therefore report incorrect values and cause false KPI regression results.

Emit per-operation latency KPIs, or provide raw samples or histogram buckets upstream and calculate the combined quantiles from that data.

looks good as a first version,
we'll continue the work together when I start diving into capture Prometheus metrics for LLM-D

for reference, here is an enumeration of the metrics I was capturing for fine-tuning in TOPSAIL

https://github.com/openshift-psap/topsail/blob/main/projects/fine_tuning/testing/metrics.txt

what I'd like to see (in the final version) is flexibility over the parameters
there are many things hardcoded in this file, and it was hard to pass information from the test phase to the post-processing phase.

Basically, in TOPSAIL, I had:

  1. in the test phase, capture the full prom DB. Easy. No configuration.
  2. in the post-process phase, extract and plot the relevant metrics

But some info needs to be carried from the test phase to the post-process phase, like the namespace, the pod names, the container names, etc. And in TOPSAIL, this wasn't possible.
