Walkthrough

Thread naming calls were added to five agent and NSolid thread routines using uv_thread_setname() with descriptive identifiers (NSolidGrpcAgent, NSolidOTLPAgent, NSolidStatsDAgent, NSolidZmqAgent, NSolidThread) to improve debugging visibility via system tools.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Agent thread naming
agents/grpc/src/grpc_agent.cc, agents/otlp/src/otlp_agent.cc, agents/statsd/src/statsd_agent.cc, agents/zmq/src/zmq_agent.cc
Added uv_thread_setname() call in respective run_() methods to set OS-level thread names (NSolidGrpcAgent, NSolidOTLPAgent, NSolidStatsDAgent, NSolidZmqAgent)
Main NSolid thread naming
src/nsolid/nsolid_api.cc
Added uv_thread_setname("NSolidThread") in EnvList::env_list_routine_() before starting the blocked loop timer

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~3 minutes

  • Highly consistent, repetitive pattern applied uniformly across five files with minimal code additions
  • Single-line functionality additions with no behavioral or control flow changes
  • Changes are straightforward and low-risk platform-specific instrumentation

Poem

🐰 Thread names now shine so bright and clear,
No more mystery which agent's here—
Grpc, Otlp, Statsd too,
Zmq, NSolid, each one true!
Debuggers smile from far and near!

Linked Issues check ✅ Passed The PR implements thread naming for NSolid agent threads (GRPC, OTLP, StatsD, ZMQ) and the EnvList routine thread, directly addressing issue #197's objective to assign descriptive names to nsolid built-in threads for better debugging.
Out of Scope Changes check ✅ Passed All changes are scoped to adding thread naming calls in NSolid-specific agent run methods and the EnvList routine, with no unrelated modifications.

707-707: LGTM! Thread naming improves debugging visibility.

The thread name "NSolidGrpcAgent" (15 characters) fits within the Linux 16-character limit and will make this thread easily identifiable in debuggers and system tools like htop.

agents/zmq/src/zmq_agent.cc (1)

812-812: LGTM! Consistent thread naming implementation.

The thread name "NSolidZmqAgent" (14 characters) is within the Linux 16-character limit and follows the same pattern as the other agent threads.

agents/otlp/src/otlp_agent.cc (1)

244-244: LGTM! Thread naming enhances observability.

The thread name "NSolidOTLPAgent" (15 characters) fits within the Linux 16-character limit and will help identify this agent thread in debuggers and system monitoring tools.

src/nsolid/nsolid_api.cc (1)

1646-1654: No action needed—libuv support is already confirmed and the implementation is consistent with existing patterns

The USE(uv_thread_setname("NSolidThread")); call at line 1648 is correct. Verification shows:

  • uv_thread_setname is already declared in the bundled deps/uv/include/uv.h (line 1921) and widely used throughout the codebase (10+ call sites) with no version guards, confirming it is stable and available.
  • The USE() wrapper is consistent with all four agent thread naming patterns (NSolidGrpcAgent, NSolidZmqAgent, NSolidStatsDAgent, NSolidOTLPAgent).
  • The "NSolidThread" name follows the established "NSolid*" naming convention.

The optional suggestion to use a more specific name (e.g., "NSolidEnvList") for better debugger visibility is valid but not critical.
