What does this pull request do? Explain your changes. (required)

Fix the transcode success rate metric which was not taking into account all errors and therefore mostly reporting 100% success.

Specific updates (required)

  • Previously the success rate metric was only taking into account NoOrchestrator transcode errors. We are now taking into account maximum transcode attempts reached, context cancellations and non-retryable errors.

How did you test each of these updates (required)

Due to it being difficult to reproduce these errors the testing was done locally by temporarily hard coding these errors being thrown and observing the expected reduction in the success rate.

Does this pull request close any open issues?

Fixes #2674

@yondonfu are you ok with me just testing this locally by putting artificial hard coded errors in? Reproducing them in an environment seems tricky.

That seems reasonable.

The PR itself looks good, but I can't connect the dots of how adding 3 new metrics fixes too high success rate metric.

From my understanding, adding 3 new metrics (what I see in these PR) will just add more data, however the old query in Grafana will display exactly the same as before. Do we plan to use a different query in Grafana now?

We continue using the same grafana query because these new calls to SegmentTranscodeFailed() mean that these failure scenarios get taken into account for the success metric. This is because SegmentTranscodeFailed() results in a call to countSegmentTranscoded() with the failed argument true here: https://github.com/livepeer/go-livepeer/blob/a5606ca7/monitor/census.go#L1369
This is the function that records the data used for the success rate metric, this same function is called in the successful case with the failed argument false.

Yondon had a good explanation on the ticket too if it helps: #2674

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the explanation!
