Summary

Fixes #12682

  • dashboardId in modern Grafana uses string UIDs (e.g. dTC0e9wZk), not integers. The old int() cast crashed on both empty strings and alphanumeric UIDs.
  • panelId remains numeric but also crashed on empty string input.

Changes:

  • dashboardId: store as-is string; falsy check (if dashboardId) replaces is not None guard
  • panelId: keep int() cast but switch to falsy check to handle empty string

Test plan

  • Configure Grafana notification with empty dashboardId/panelId fields — verify no crash
  • Configure Grafana notification with a string UID dashboardId (e.g. dTC0e9wZk) — verify annotation is sent correctly
  • Configure Grafana notification with numeric panelId — verify still works
  • Run existing notification tests: pytest awx/main/tests/ -k grafana -x -q

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved analytics upload logging by recording response details when available, with reliable fallback information.
    • Preserved Grafana dashboard identifiers in their original format while continuing to handle panel identifiers correctly.
    • Improved handling of responses with missing or invalid metadata.

…from ingress API response

Log the ingress API success response fields (request_id, account_number,
org_id) in the controller task log when gather_analytics tarballs are
uploaded. This enables support engineers to trace uploads through to
Kibana without source code modifications.
…ashboardId/panelId

Fixes ansible#12682

dashboardId in modern Grafana uses string UIDs (e.g. 'dTC0e9wZk'), not
integers. The old int() cast crashed on both empty strings and string UIDs.
panelId remains numeric but also crashed on empty string.

- dashboardId: store as-is string, falsy check replaces is-not-None
- panelId: keep int() cast but switch to falsy check to handle empty string

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add response metadata logging for successful analytics uploads and update Grafana notification identifier handling. Tests cover analytics response parsing, fallback values, and invalid JSON responses.

Changes

Analytics response logging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shipping response logging
awx/main/analytics/core.py, awx/main/tests/unit/analytics/test_core_ship.py
Successful certificate-based and OIDC uploads log response identifiers. Invalid JSON responses fall back to the HTTP status. Tests cover parsed identifiers, missing fields, and parsing errors.

Grafana identifier handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Grafana configuration initialization
awx/main/notifications/grafana_backend.py
dashboardId remains unchanged when non-empty. panelId remains integer-converted. Falsy values become None.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0d7f7

The Grafana notification change supports string dashboard UIDs and empty IDs without crashing, but the updated analytics response handling may hide unexpected failures and delay diagnosis. This is a bounded risk suitable for owner follow-up rather than a merge blocker.

Requests 2.32.5 requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError inheritance ValueError Response.json official source

💡 Result:

In the Requests library (including version 2.32.5), the exception class requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError inherits from both requests.exceptions.InvalidJSONError and a compatibility layer for the standard json.JSONDecodeError (aliased as CompatJSONDecodeError in the source code) [1][2][3]. Regarding its inheritance from ValueError: Because the standard json.JSONDecodeError inherits from ValueError (starting in Python 3.5), requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError effectively inherits from ValueError through its CompatJSONDecodeError parent class [4][5]. As of the current implementation in requests.exceptions, the class definition follows this structure: class JSONDecodeError(InvalidJSONError, CompatJSONDecodeError): """Couldn't decode the text into json""" #... implementation details... [1][2] The inheritance chain (MRO) for requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError typically includes ValueError because CompatJSONDecodeError resolves to json.JSONDecodeError in modern Python environments [5]. You can verify this in your own environment by checking the Method Resolution Order: from requests.exceptions import JSONDecodeError print(JSONDecodeError.mro) [5] This design ensures that requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError can be caught by developers expecting a ValueError (the base class for JSON decoding errors in the standard library), while providing a specific exception type for requests operations [6].

Catch only expected response errors.

Validate that data is a dict, then catch ValueError for JSON decoding and validation failures instead of catching Exception.
