1.2 Architecture Principles
Requirement Traceability: Req-Norm-6 (maintainable design)
- Dependency Rule: Dependencies point inward toward the domain
- Port Isolation: External systems accessed only through ports
- Technology Independence: Core domain has zero external dependencies
- Testability: All components mockable through port interfaces
- Thread Safety: Explicit thread safety at boundaries
2. Core Domain Layer
Package: com.siemens.coreshield.hsp.domain
Purpose: Pure business logic with no external dependencies
2.1 DataCollectionService
Requirements: Req-FR-14, Req-FR-16, Req-FR-21, Req-FR-22, Req-FR-23, Req-FR-24
Responsibilities:
- Orchestrate HTTP endpoint polling
- Validate collected data (1MB size limit)
- Serialize data to JSON with Base64 encoding
- Coordinate with BufferManager for data storage
Component Interface:
public interface IDataCollectionService {
/**
* Start periodic data collection from configured endpoints
* Req-FR-14: HTTP connection establishment
* Req-FR-16: Polling at configured intervals
*/
void startCollection();
/**
* Stop data collection gracefully
* Req-Arch-5: Graceful shutdown
*/
void stopCollection();
/**
* Get current collection statistics
* Req-NFR-8: Collection metrics for health check
*/
CollectionStatistics getStatistics();
}
Key Methods:
/**
* Collect data from a single endpoint
* Req-FR-21: Validate data size (max 1MB)
* Req-FR-22: JSON serialization
* Req-FR-23: Base64 encoding
* Req-FR-24: JSON structure (plugin_name, timestamp, source_endpoint, data_size, payload)
*/
private DiagnosticData collectFromEndpoint(String endpointUrl);
/**
* Validate diagnostic data
* Req-FR-21: Reject files > 1MB, log warning
*/
private ValidationResult validateData(byte[] data, String sourceUrl);
Thread Safety:
- Uses IHttpPollingPort which manages virtual thread pools (Req-Arch-6)
- All state synchronized through BufferManager (Req-Arch-8)
Testing Requirements:
- Mock IHttpPollingPort for unit tests (Req-NFR-9)
- Integration test with mock HTTP server (Req-NFR-7 testing)
2.2 DataTransmissionService
Requirements: Req-FR-27, Req-FR-28, Req-FR-29, Req-FR-30, Req-FR-31, Req-FR-32
Responsibilities:
- Manage single bidirectional gRPC stream
- Batch messages up to 4MB
- Send batches within 1 second if not full
- Handle connection failures with retry
Component Interface:
public interface IDataTransmissionService {
/**
* Establish gRPC connection
* Req-FR-28: Single bidirectional stream
*/
void connect() throws ConnectionException;
/**
* Transmit diagnostic data
* Req-FR-30: Batch up to 4MB
* Req-FR-31: Max 1s latency
* Req-FR-32: receiver_id = 99
*/
void transmit(DiagnosticData data);
/**
* Get connection status
* Req-NFR-8: gRPC connection status for health check
*/
ConnectionStatus getConnectionStatus();
}
Key Methods:
/**
* Batch messages into TransferRequest
* Req-FR-30: Max 4MB per request (4,194,304 bytes)
* Req-FR-32: Set receiver_id to 99
*/
private TransferRequest batchMessages(List<DiagnosticData> messages);
/**
* Handle stream failure and reconnection
* Req-FR-29: Close stream, wait 5s, re-establish
* Req-FR-6: Retry every 5s, log warnings every 1 min
*/
private void handleStreamFailure();
Thread Safety:
- Single consumer thread from BufferManager (Req-Arch-7)
- Synchronized access to gRPC stream (not thread-safe)
Testing Requirements:
- Mock IGrpcStreamPort for unit tests
- Integration test with mock gRPC server (Req-NFR-8 testing)
2.3 ConfigurationManager
Requirements: Req-FR-9, Req-FR-10, Req-FR-11, Req-FR-12, Req-FR-13
Responsibilities:
- Load configuration from file
- Validate all configuration parameters
- Provide configuration to other components
- Terminate application on validation failure
Component Interface:
public interface IConfigurationManager {
/**
* Load configuration from file
* Req-FR-10: Read from application directory
*/
Configuration loadConfiguration() throws ConfigurationException;
/**
* Validate configuration
* Req-FR-11: Validate all parameters within limits
*/
ValidationResult validateConfiguration(Configuration config);
}
Configuration Model:
public final class Configuration {
// gRPC Configuration (Req-FR-27-32)
private final String grpcServerAddress;
private final int grpcServerPort;
private final int grpcTimeoutSeconds;
// HTTP Configuration (Req-FR-14-21)
private final List<String> httpEndpoints; // Max 1000 (Req-NFR-1)
private final int pollingIntervalSeconds; // 1-3600
private final int requestTimeoutSeconds; // Default 30 (Req-FR-15)
private final int maxRetries; // Default 3 (Req-FR-17)
private final int retryIntervalSeconds; // Default 5 (Req-FR-17)
// Buffer Configuration (Req-FR-25, Req-FR-26)
private final int bufferMaxMessages; // Default 300
// Backoff Configuration (Req-FR-18, Req-FR-6)
private final int httpBackoffStartSeconds; // Default 5
private final int httpBackoffMaxSeconds; // Default 300
private final int httpBackoffIncrementSeconds; // Default 5
private final int grpcRetryIntervalSeconds; // Default 5
}
Validation Rules (Req-FR-11):
private ValidationResult validateConfiguration(Configuration config) {
// gRPC validation
validatePort(config.grpcServerPort, 1, 65535);
validateTimeout(config.grpcTimeoutSeconds, 1, 3600);
// HTTP validation
validateEndpointCount(config.httpEndpoints, 1, 1000); // Req-NFR-1
validatePollingInterval(config.pollingIntervalSeconds, 1, 3600);
validateTimeout(config.requestTimeoutSeconds, 1, 300);
validateRetries(config.maxRetries, 0, 10);
// Buffer validation
validateBufferSize(config.bufferMaxMessages, 1, 1000000);
// Backoff validation
validateBackoff(
config.httpBackoffStartSeconds,
config.httpBackoffMaxSeconds,
config.httpBackoffIncrementSeconds
);
}
Error Handling:
- Req-FR-12: Terminate with exit code 1 on validation failure
- Req-FR-13: Log validation failure reason
Thread Safety: Immutable configuration object, thread-safe
2.4 BufferManager
Requirements: Req-FR-25, Req-FR-26, Req-Arch-7, Req-Arch-8
Responsibilities:
- Implement circular buffer with configurable capacity
- Thread-safe producer-consumer coordination
- FIFO overflow handling (discard oldest)
- Buffer statistics for health monitoring
Component Interface:
public interface IBufferManager {
/**
* Producer: Add data to buffer
* Req-FR-25: Buffer collected data
* Req-FR-26: Discard oldest if full
*/
boolean offer(DiagnosticData data);
/**
* Consumer: Take data from buffer
* Req-FR-25: Consumer reads from buffer
*/
Optional<DiagnosticData> poll();
/**
* Get buffer statistics
* Req-NFR-8: Buffer metrics for health check
*/
BufferStatistics getStatistics();
/**
* Get current buffer capacity
*/
int remainingCapacity();
}
Implementation Details:
public class BufferManager implements IBufferManager {
// Req-Arch-8: Thread-safe collection
private final BlockingQueue<DiagnosticData> buffer;
private final int capacity;
private final AtomicLong offeredCount = new AtomicLong(0);
private final AtomicLong droppedCount = new AtomicLong(0);
public BufferManager(int capacity) {
// Use ArrayBlockingQueue for bounded FIFO behavior
this.buffer = new ArrayBlockingQueue<>(capacity);
this.capacity = capacity;
}
/**
* Req-FR-26: Drop oldest when full
*/
@Override
public boolean offer(DiagnosticData data) {
offeredCount.incrementAndGet();
if (!buffer.offer(data)) {
// Buffer full, remove oldest and retry
buffer.poll(); // Remove oldest
droppedCount.incrementAndGet();
return buffer.offer(data); // Add new
}
return true;
}
@Override
public Optional<DiagnosticData> poll() {
return Optional.ofNullable(buffer.poll());
}
}
Thread Safety (Req-Arch-8):
ArrayBlockingQueueprovides thread-safe operationsAtomicLongfor thread-safe statistics- No explicit synchronization needed
Producer-Consumer Pattern (Req-Arch-7):
- Multiple producer threads (HTTP polling via virtual threads)
- Single consumer thread (gRPC transmission)
- Blocking queue provides coordination
3. Primary Adapters (Inbound)
Package: com.siemens.coreshield.hsp.adapter.inbound
3.1 ConfigurationFileAdapter
Requirements: Req-FR-9, Req-FR-10, Req-FR-11, Req-FR-12, Req-FR-13
Purpose: Load configuration from JSON file
Port Interface: IConfigurationPort
Implementation:
public class ConfigurationFileAdapter implements IConfigurationPort {
private static final String CONFIG_FILE = "./hsp-config.json";
private final ObjectMapper jsonMapper;
/**
* Req-FR-10: Load from application directory
*/
@Override
public Configuration loadConfiguration() throws ConfigurationException {
try {
File configFile = new File(CONFIG_FILE);
return jsonMapper.readValue(configFile, Configuration.class);
} catch (IOException e) {
// Req-FR-13: Log validation failure
logger.error("Failed to load configuration", e);
throw new ConfigurationException("Configuration file not found or invalid", e);
}
}
}
Thread Safety: Stateless adapter, thread-safe
Testing: Unit test with sample configuration files
3.2 HealthCheckController
Requirements: Req-NFR-7, Req-NFR-8
Purpose: Expose HTTP health check endpoint
Port Interface: IHealthCheckPort
Implementation:
public class HealthCheckController implements IHealthCheckPort {
private final IDataCollectionService collectionService;
private final IDataTransmissionService transmissionService;
private final IBufferManager bufferManager;
/**
* Req-NFR-7: GET localhost:8080/health
* Req-NFR-8: Return JSON with component status
*/
@Override
public HealthCheckResponse getHealthStatus() {
return new HealthCheckResponse(
determineServiceStatus(),
collectionService.getStatistics().getLastSuccessfulCollection(),
transmissionService.getConnectionStatus().isConnected(),
collectionService.getStatistics().getErrorCount(),
collectionService.getStatistics().getSuccessCount30s(),
collectionService.getStatistics().getFailedCount30s()
);
}
private ServiceStatus determineServiceStatus() {
boolean grpcConnected = transmissionService.getConnectionStatus().isConnected();
boolean collectionRunning = collectionService.getStatistics().isRunning();
if (grpcConnected && collectionRunning) {
return ServiceStatus.RUNNING;
} else if (collectionRunning) {
return ServiceStatus.DEGRADED;
} else {
return ServiceStatus.DOWN;
}
}
}
JSON Response Schema (Req-NFR-8):
{
"service_status": "RUNNING | DEGRADED | DOWN",
"last_successful_collection_ts": "2025-11-19T10:52:10Z",
"grpc_connection_status": "CONNECTED | DISCONNECTED",
"http_collection_error_count": 15,
"endpoints_success_last_30s": 998,
"endpoints_failed_last_30s": 2
}
Thread Safety: Read-only access to statistics, thread-safe
Testing: Integration test with HTTP client, verify JSON schema
4. Secondary Adapters (Outbound)
Package: com.siemens.coreshield.hsp.adapter.outbound
4.1 HttpPollingAdapter
Requirements: Req-FR-14, Req-FR-15, Req-FR-16, Req-FR-17, Req-FR-18, Req-FR-19, Req-FR-20, Req-FR-21
Purpose: Poll HTTP endpoints and retrieve diagnostic data
Port Interface: IHttpPollingPort
Implementation:
public class HttpPollingAdapter implements IHttpPollingPort {
private final HttpClient httpClient;
private final Map<String, Semaphore> endpointLocks; // Req-FR-19: No concurrent connections
/**
* Req-FR-15: HTTP GET with 30s timeout
* Req-FR-17: Retry 3 times with 5s intervals
* Req-FR-18: Linear backoff 5s → 300s
*/
@Override
public CompletableFuture<byte[]> pollEndpoint(String endpointUrl) {
// Req-FR-19: Acquire endpoint lock
Semaphore lock = endpointLocks.computeIfAbsent(endpointUrl, k -> new Semaphore(1));
lock.acquire();
try {
return pollWithRetry(endpointUrl, 0);
} finally {
lock.release();
}
}
private CompletableFuture<byte[]> pollWithRetry(String url, int attempt) {
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(URI.create(url))
.timeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30)) // Req-FR-15
.GET()
.build();
return httpClient.sendAsync(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofByteArray())
.thenApply(response -> {
if (response.statusCode() == 200) {
byte[] data = response.body();
// Req-FR-21: Validate size (max 1MB)
if (data.length > 1_048_576) {
logger.warn("Endpoint {} returned data > 1MB: {} bytes", url, data.length);
throw new OversizedDataException(url, data.length);
}
return data;
} else {
throw new HttpException("HTTP " + response.statusCode());
}
})
.exceptionally(ex -> {
if (attempt < 3) { // Req-FR-17: Max 3 retries
// Req-FR-17: Wait 5s between retries
Thread.sleep(5000);
return pollWithRetry(url, attempt + 1).join();
} else {
// Req-FR-18: Linear backoff for subsequent polls
scheduleBackoff(url, attempt);
throw new PollingFailedException(url, ex);
}
});
}
/**
* Req-FR-18: Linear backoff: start=5s, max=300s, increment=5s
*/
private void scheduleBackoff(String url, int failureCount) {
int delaySec = Math.min(5 + (failureCount * 5), 300);
// Schedule next poll after delay
}
}
Thread Safety (Req-Arch-6):
HttpClientis thread-safe (Java 11+)- Semaphore per endpoint ensures no concurrent connections (Req-FR-19)
- Virtual threads used for polling (managed by executor)
Fault Isolation (Req-FR-20):
- Failures isolated per endpoint
- Exception handling prevents cascade failures
Testing:
- Mock HTTP server for integration tests (Req-NFR-7 testing)
- Unit tests for retry logic and backoff calculation
4.2 GrpcStreamAdapter
Requirements: Req-FR-27, Req-FR-28, Req-FR-29, Req-FR-30, Req-FR-31, Req-FR-32
Purpose: Manage gRPC streaming to Collector Sender Core
Port Interface: IGrpcStreamPort
Implementation:
public class GrpcStreamAdapter implements IGrpcStreamPort {
private ManagedChannel channel;
private TransferServiceGrpc.TransferServiceStub asyncStub;
private StreamObserver<TransferRequest> requestStream;
private final Object streamLock = new Object(); // gRPC streams not thread-safe
/**
* Req-FR-28: Establish single bidirectional stream
*/
@Override
public void connect(String host, int port) {
channel = ManagedChannelBuilder.forAddress(host, port)
.usePlaintext() // Req-NFR-4: TCP mode only
.build();
asyncStub = TransferServiceGrpc.newStub(channel);
StreamObserver<TransferResponse> responseObserver = new StreamObserver<>() {
@Override
public void onNext(TransferResponse response) {
logger.info("Received response code: {}", response.getResponseCode());
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable t) {
// Req-FR-29: Handle stream failure
handleStreamFailure(t);
}
@Override
public void onCompleted() {
logger.info("Stream completed");
}
};
synchronized (streamLock) {
requestStream = asyncStub.transferStream(responseObserver);
}
}
/**
* Req-FR-31: Send batch (max 4MB)
* Req-FR-32: receiver_id = 99
*/
@Override
public void sendBatch(List<DiagnosticData> batch) {
// Serialize batch to JSON
ByteString data = serializeBatch(batch);
// Req-FR-30: Validate size (max 4MB)
if (data.size() > 4_194_304) {
throw new OversizedBatchException(data.size());
}
TransferRequest request = TransferRequest.newBuilder()
.setReceiverId(99) // Req-FR-32
.setData(data)
.build();
synchronized (streamLock) {
requestStream.onNext(request);
}
}
/**
* Req-FR-29: Close stream, wait 5s, re-establish
* Req-FR-6: Log warnings every 1 minute
*/
private void handleStreamFailure(Throwable error) {
logger.error("gRPC stream failed", error);
synchronized (streamLock) {
if (requestStream != null) {
requestStream.onCompleted();
}
if (channel != null) {
channel.shutdown();
}
}
// Wait 5s before reconnection
ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
scheduler.schedule(() -> {
try {
connect(host, port);
logger.info("gRPC stream reconnected successfully");
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.warn("gRPC reconnection failed, will retry");
handleStreamFailure(e);
}
}, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
}
Thread Safety:
synchronizedblock around stream operations (gRPC streams not thread-safe)- Single consumer thread from BufferManager
Connection Management (Req-FR-6):
- Retry every 5 seconds indefinitely
- Log warnings every 1 minute (implemented in caller)
Testing:
- Mock gRPC server for integration tests (Req-NFR-8 testing)
- Unit tests for batch serialization and size validation
4.3 FileLoggingAdapter
Requirements: Req-Arch-3, Req-Arch-4
Purpose: Log to file with rotation
Port Interface: ILoggingPort
Implementation:
public class FileLoggingAdapter implements ILoggingPort {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(FileLoggingAdapter.class.getName());
/**
* Req-Arch-3: Log to hsp.log in temp directory
* Req-Arch-4: Java Logging API with rotation (100MB, 5 files)
*/
public FileLoggingAdapter() throws IOException {
String logDir = System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir");
String logFile = logDir + File.separator + "hsp.log";
FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler(
logFile,
100 * 1024 * 1024, // Req-Arch-4: 100MB per file
5, // Req-Arch-4: 5 files
true // Append mode
);
fileHandler.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
logger.addHandler(fileHandler);
logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);
}
@Override
public void info(String message) {
logger.info(message);
}
@Override
public void warn(String message) {
logger.warning(message);
}
@Override
public void error(String message, Throwable error) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, message, error);
}
}
Thread Safety: Java Logger is thread-safe
Testing: Integration test with file creation and rotation validation
5. Application Layer
Package: com.siemens.coreshield.hsp.application
5.1 Startup Orchestration
Requirements: Req-FR-1, Req-FR-2, Req-FR-3, Req-FR-4, Req-FR-5, Req-FR-6, Req-FR-7, Req-FR-8
Main Application:
public class HspApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Req-FR-2: Load and validate configuration
IConfigurationPort configPort = new ConfigurationFileAdapter();
Configuration config = configPort.loadConfiguration();
IConfigurationManager configManager = new ConfigurationManager();
ValidationResult validation = configManager.validateConfiguration(config);
if (!validation.isValid()) {
// Req-FR-13: Log validation failure
logger.error("Configuration validation failed: {}", validation.getErrors());
// Req-FR-12: Terminate with exit code 1
System.exit(1);
}
// Req-FR-3: Initialize logging
ILoggingPort loggingPort = new FileLoggingAdapter();
// Req-FR-4: Establish gRPC connection
IGrpcStreamPort grpcPort = new GrpcStreamAdapter();
IDataTransmissionService transmissionService = new DataTransmissionService(grpcPort, config);
// Req-FR-6: Retry gRPC connection every 5s until successful
while (!transmissionService.isConnected()) {
try {
transmissionService.connect();
} catch (ConnectionException e) {
logger.warn("gRPC connection failed, retrying in 5s");
Thread.sleep(5000);
}
}
// Req-FR-7: Wait for gRPC before starting HTTP polling
if (transmissionService.isConnected()) {
// Req-FR-5: Begin HTTP polling
IHttpPollingPort httpPort = new HttpPollingAdapter(config);
IBufferManager bufferManager = new BufferManager(config.getBufferMaxMessages());
IDataCollectionService collectionService = new DataCollectionService(httpPort, bufferManager, config);
collectionService.startCollection();
// Req-FR-8: Log successful startup
logger.info("HSP started successfully");
// Start transmission service consumer thread
transmissionService.startConsuming(bufferManager);
// Start health check endpoint
HealthCheckController healthCheck = new HealthCheckController(collectionService, transmissionService, bufferManager);
startHealthCheckServer(healthCheck); // Req-NFR-7
}
// Req-Arch-5: Run indefinitely unless unrecoverable error
awaitTermination();
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("Fatal error during startup", e);
System.exit(1);
}
}
/**
* Req-Arch-5: Always run unless unrecoverable error
*/
private static void awaitTermination() {
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(() -> {
logger.info("Shutdown signal received, stopping HSP");
// Graceful shutdown logic
}));
// Block main thread
Thread.currentThread().join();
}
}

6.2 Virtual Thread Pool (HTTP Polling)
Requirements: Req-Arch-6, Req-NFR-1
Configuration:
ExecutorService virtualThreadPool = Executors.newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor();
// Submit polling tasks for each endpoint
for (String endpoint : config.getHttpEndpoints()) {
virtualThreadPool.submit(() -> {
while (running) {
pollEndpoint(endpoint);
Thread.sleep(config.getPollingIntervalSeconds() * 1000);
}
});
}
Benefits:
- Supports 1000+ concurrent connections (Req-NFR-1)
- Low memory footprint compared to platform threads
- Automatic thread management by JVM
Thread Safety:
- Each virtual thread handles one endpoint
- No shared mutable state between threads
- Buffer access synchronized via thread-safe queue
6.3 Platform Thread (gRPC Consumer)
Requirements: Req-Arch-6, Req-Arch-7
Configuration:
Thread consumerThread = new Thread(() -> {
while (running) {
Optional<DiagnosticData> data = bufferManager.poll();
if (data.isPresent()) {
batch.add(data.get());
// Req-FR-30: Send when batch reaches 4MB
if (getBatchSize(batch) >= 4_194_304) {
grpcPort.sendBatch(batch);
batch.clear();
}
// Req-FR-31: Send within 1s if not full
if (Duration.between(batchStartTime, Instant.now()).toMillis() >= 1000) {
grpcPort.sendBatch(batch);
batch.clear();
}
} else {
Thread.sleep(10); // Buffer empty, brief wait
}
}
});
consumerThread.start();
Thread Safety:
- Single consumer thread (no contention)
- Reads from thread-safe buffer
- Synchronized access to gRPC stream

if (!result.isValid()) {
for (ValidationError error : result.getErrors()) {
logger.error("Configuration validation error: {} - {}",
error.getField(), error.getMessage());
}
logger.error("HSP startup failed due to invalid configuration");
System.exit(1);
}
9. Error Handling Architecture
Requirements: Req-Norm-3, Req-FR-6, Req-FR-17, Req-FR-18, Req-FR-29
9.1 Error Categories
1. HTTP Polling Errors (Req-FR-17-18, Req-FR-20)
- Network timeout → Retry 3x with 5s interval
- HTTP error (4xx, 5xx) → Retry 3x with 5s interval
- After 3 failures → Linear backoff 5s → 300s
- Continue polling other endpoints (fault isolation)
2. Data Validation Errors (Req-FR-21)
- Oversized data (> 1MB) → Log warning, discard data, continue
- Invalid data format → Log error, discard data, continue
3. gRPC Connection Errors (Req-FR-6, Req-FR-29)
- Connection failure → Retry every 5s indefinitely
- Stream failure → Close stream, wait 5s, re-establish
- Log warnings every 1 minute during connection failures
4. Buffer Overflow (Req-FR-26)
- Buffer full → Discard oldest message, accept new message
- Log dropped message count in statistics
5. Configuration Errors (Req-FR-12-13)
- Validation failure → Log errors, terminate with exit code 1
- File not found → Log error, terminate with exit code 1
- Parse error → Log error, terminate with exit code 1
9.2 Error Recovery Strategies
Retry Strategy (Req-FR-17):
public <T> T executeWithRetry(Supplier<T> operation, int maxRetries) {
int attempt = 0;
while (attempt < maxRetries) {
try {
return operation.get();
} catch (Exception e) {
attempt++;
if (attempt >= maxRetries) {
throw e;
}
Thread.sleep(5000); // 5s between retries
}
}
}
Backoff Strategy (Req-FR-18):
public int calculateBackoff(int failureCount) {
int delay = 5 + (failureCount * 5); // Start 5s, increment 5s
return Math.min(delay, 300); // Max 300s
}
Connection Recovery (Req-FR-29):
private void recoverConnection() {
closeStream();
Thread.sleep(5000); // Wait 5s
establishStream();
}
10. Health Monitoring Architecture
Requirements: Req-NFR-7, Req-NFR-8
10.1 Health Check Endpoint
Endpoint: GET localhost:8080/health

Response Time: < 100ms
10.2 Health Metrics

RUNNING: All components operationalDEGRADED: Some components operational (e.g., gRPC disconnected)DOWN: Critical components failed
gRPC Connection Status (Req-NFR-8):
CONNECTED: Stream active and healthyDISCONNECTED: Stream failed or not established
Collection Statistics (Req-NFR-8):
last_successful_collection_ts: ISO 8601 timestamphttp_collection_error_count: Total errors since startupendpoints_success_last_30s: Successful polls in last 30 secondsendpoints_failed_last_30s: Failed polls in last 30 seconds
10.3 Metrics Collection
CollectionStatistics:
public class CollectionStatistics {
private final AtomicLong totalPolls = new AtomicLong(0);
private final AtomicLong totalErrors = new AtomicLong(0);
private volatile Instant lastSuccessfulCollection;
private final ConcurrentLinkedQueue<PollResult> recentPolls; // Last 30s
public void recordPoll(String endpoint, boolean success) {
totalPolls.incrementAndGet();
if (success) {
lastSuccessfulCollection = Instant.now();
} else {
totalErrors.incrementAndGet();
}
// Add to time-windowed queue
recentPolls.offer(new PollResult(endpoint, success, Instant.now()));
// Remove polls older than 30s
cleanupOldPolls();
}
public int getSuccessCount30s() {
return (int) recentPolls.stream()
.filter(PollResult::isSuccess)
.count();
}
public int getFailedCount30s() {
return (int) recentPolls.stream()
