Recipe Serve Advanced CLI

CLI options for rate limiting, metrics, admin, workers, and tracing

Recipe Serve Advanced CLI

Advanced CLI options for the recipe server including rate limiting, metrics, admin endpoints, workers, and OpenTelemetry tracing.

Quick Reference

praisonai serve recipe \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8765 \
  --auth api-key \
  --workers 4 \
  --rate_limit 100 \
  --max_request_size 10485760 \
  --enable_metrics \
  --enable_admin \
  --trace_exporter otlp

Command Options

Option	Description	Default
--workers <num>	Number of worker processes	1
--rate_limit <num>	Requests per minute per client	disabled
--max_request_size <bytes>	Maximum request body size	10485760 (10MB)
--enable_metrics	Enable /metrics endpoint	false
--enable_admin	Enable /admin/* endpoints	false
--trace_exporter <type>	Tracing: none, otlp, jaeger, zipkin	none

Rate Limiting

Protect your server from abuse.

# Enable rate limiting (100 requests/minute per client)
praisonai serve recipe --rate_limit 100

# Stricter limit for public API
praisonai serve recipe --rate_limit 30 --auth api-key

Test Rate Limiting

# Start server with low limit for testing
praisonai serve recipe --rate_limit 5

# In another terminal, make rapid requests
for i in {1..10}; do
  curl -s http://localhost:8765/v1/recipes | head -c 50
  echo " - Request $i"
done

Expected output after 5 requests:

{"error":{"code":"rate_limited","message":"Too many requests"}}

Request Size Limits

Prevent oversized payloads.

# Set 5MB limit
praisonai serve recipe --max_request_size 5242880

# Set 1MB limit for strict environments
praisonai serve recipe --max_request_size 1048576

Test Size Limit

# Start server with small limit
praisonai serve recipe --max_request_size 100

# Send large request
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/v1/recipes/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"recipe": "test", "input": {"data": "'"$(head -c 200 /dev/urandom | base64)"'"}}'

Expected response:

{"error":{"code":"request_too_large","message":"Request body too large. Max: 100 bytes"}}

Metrics Endpoint

Expose Prometheus metrics.

# Enable metrics
praisonai serve recipe --enable_metrics

# Verify metrics endpoint
curl http://localhost:8765/metrics

Sample Output

# HELP praisonai_http_requests_total Total HTTP requests
# TYPE praisonai_http_requests_total counter
praisonai_http_requests_total{path="/health",method="GET",status="200"} 5

# HELP praisonai_http_request_duration_seconds HTTP request duration
# TYPE praisonai_http_request_duration_seconds histogram
praisonai_http_request_duration_seconds_sum{path="/health",method="GET"} 0.025
praisonai_http_request_duration_seconds_count{path="/health",method="GET"} 5

Prometheus Integration

# prometheus.yml
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'praisonai'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:8765']
    metrics_path: '/metrics'
    scrape_interval: 15s

Admin Endpoints

Hot-reload recipes without restart.

# Enable admin endpoints (requires auth)
praisonai serve recipe --enable_admin --auth api-key

# Reload recipes
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/admin/reload \
  -H "X-API-Key: $PRAISONAI_API_KEY"

Response

{
  "status": "reloaded",
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}

Workers

Scale with multiple processes.

# Start with 4 workers
praisonai serve recipe --workers 4 --auth api-key

# Recommended: 2 * CPU cores + 1
praisonai serve recipe --workers $(( $(nproc) * 2 + 1 )) --auth api-key

Notes

• Workers > 1 automatically disables --reload
• Each worker has independent rate limiter state
• For distributed rate limiting, use external store (Redis)

OpenTelemetry Tracing

Distributed tracing support.

# OTLP exporter
praisonai serve recipe --trace_exporter otlp

# With custom endpoint
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://collector:4317 \
  praisonai serve recipe --trace_exporter otlp

# Jaeger
praisonai serve recipe --trace_exporter jaeger

# Zipkin
praisonai serve recipe --trace_exporter zipkin

Install Dependencies

# For OTLP
pip install opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-exporter-otlp

# For Jaeger
pip install opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-exporter-jaeger

# For Zipkin
pip install opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-exporter-zipkin

PRAISONAI_SERVE_HOST	Default host
PRAISONAI_SERVE_PORT	Default port
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT	OTLP collector endpoint

Troubleshooting

Rate Limit Not Working

Check if path is exempt:

# /health and /metrics are exempt by default
curl http://localhost:8765/health  # Always works

Metrics Endpoint 404

Enable metrics:

praisonai serve recipe --enable_metrics

Admin Endpoint 401

Provide authentication:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/admin/reload \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-key"

Workers with Reload

Cannot use both:

# This will warn and disable reload
praisonai serve recipe --workers 4 --reload
