What does this PR do?

  • Suppresses the HTTP telemetry span error flag only for transport errors that unwrap to *net.DNSError with IsNotFound set and whose request hostname belongs to *.internal.dda-testing.com.
  • Keeps the existing http.errors tag and returns the original RoundTrip error unchanged, while adding expected_error:dns_not_found for the gated testing-infra case.
  • Preserves normal OCI download behavior by continuing to mark DNS not-found errors for regular registry hosts as span errors.
  • Adds telemetry unit coverage for the testing-infra DNS not-found case, regular-host DNS not-found errors, and generic transport errors, and includes the new test in the Bazel target.

Motivation

Testing-infra OCI registry hostnames under *.internal.dda-testing.com do not resolve on real hosts. Those expected DNS failures were being marked as installer HTTP span errors and surfaced in Error Tracking even though callers already handle and propagate the failure normally, creating false-positive noise for the installer services. The suppression must remain scoped to those testing-infra refs so real registry DNS failures still surface when they can fail installer downloads.

P2 Badge Limit expected DNS errors to testing hostnames

When DD_INSTALLER_REGISTRY_URL or another registry host resolves to NXDOMAIN, errors.As will match the *net.DNSError here and span.Finish(nil) will make the HTTP span a non-error. I checked pkg/fleet/installer/oci/download.go:289, and this wrapper is used for every OCI registry download, not just *.internal.dda-testing.com, so genuine customer registry typos or DNS outages would disappear from Error Tracking even though the install still fails. Please gate this suppression to the intended testing hostnames/refs instead of all DNS not-found errors.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

Replicate Execution Details

We run multiple replicates for each experiment/variant. However, we allow replicates to be automatically retried if there are any failures, up to 8 times, at which point the replicate is marked dead and we are unable to run analysis for the entire experiment. We call each of these attempts at running replicates a replicate execution. This section lists all replicate executions that failed due to the target crashing or being oom killed.

Note: In the below tables we bucket failures by experiment, variant, and failure type. For each of these buckets we list out the replicate indexes that failed with an annotation signifying how many times said replicate failed with the given failure mode. In the below example the baseline variant of the experiment named experiment_with_failures had two replicates that failed by oom kills. Replicate 0, which failed 8 executions, and replicate 1 which failed 6 executions, all with the same failure mode.

P2 Badge Require the DNS failure host to match before suppressing

In environments that use an HTTP(S) proxy, http.Transport dials the proxy first; if that proxy name is NXDOMAIN, the returned error still unwraps to *net.DNSError while req.URL.Hostname() remains the original *.internal.dda-testing.com registry. Because this predicate ignores dnsErr.Name, a broken proxy or other non-registry DNS failure for these requests is tagged as expected_error and the span is finished without error.message, hiding a real installer connectivity problem. Please also verify the DNS error name corresponds to the request/registry host before suppressing.

P2 Badge Match the DNS failure host before suppressing

When the installer HTTP client uses configured proxies (pkg/fleet/installer/env/env.go:254-275), a DNS lookup failure for the proxy host can also unwrap to *net.DNSError while req.URL.Hostname() is still an *.internal.dda-testing.com registry. This predicate only checks the request host, so those proxy DNS failures during testing-registry downloads are tagged as expected and finished with nil, hiding a real proxy/configuration outage from error tracking. Please also verify that the DNSError.Name corresponds to the request host before suppressing the span error.
