PMM-14267

FB: Percona-Lab/pmm-submodules#4542

roster.get's cold-cache fallback filtered FindAgents by AWSAccessKey, which builds a SQL predicate on aws_options->>'aws_access_key'. That column is encrypted at rest (EncryptAWSOptionsHandler), and FindAgents decrypts rows only after the WHERE clause is applied, so the plaintext access key is compared against ciphertext and matches zero rows.

This fallback runs when the in-memory roster has been cleared (e.g. after a pmm-agent reconnect). With an empty result the StateChanged handler updates no agents, leaving the grouped rds_exporter listen ports stale in the DB. VictoriaMetrics' scrape configuration is built from those ports, so it keeps scraping the old (now dead) ports and RDS metrics disappear until the roster cache is warm again.

Fix: drop the encrypted-column SQL filter and match the access key in Go on the decrypted AWSOptions returned by FindAgents. This mirrors how the SetState builder groups rds_exporters and is correct regardless of column encryption. The cache-hit path is unchanged.

Thanks for the fix — the root-cause analysis is correct: the cold-cache fallback filtered on the encrypted aws_options->>'aws_access_key' column while FindAgents decrypts only after the WHERE clause, so it matched zero rows. Matching in Go on the decrypted value is the right call and mirrors the grouping in state.go. A few changes before merge:

1. Trim the comment (roster.go:88-95)

The 8-line comment is more verbose than needed. The essential point is the encryption ordering. Suggest something like:

// aws_access_key is encrypted at rest, and FindAgents decrypts rows only
// after the WHERE clause, so a SQL filter on the access key never matches.
// Match it in Go on the decrypted value instead.

2. Add a regression test (roster_test.go)

The current Get/Clear subtests hit the fallback branch but assert an empty result, so they pass identically with or without this fix — they don't cover the bug. Please add a test that:

  • seeds a pmm-agent + an rds_exporter row with a non-empty AWSOptions.AWSAccessKey in the DB,
  • calls r.get("<pmmAgentID>:rds/<accessKey>") on a cold roster (no prior add),
  • asserts the exporter's AgentID is returned.

This fails before the fix and passes after, which is what guards against regression.

3. Clean up the now-dead filter

This was the only caller of AgentFilters.AWSAccessKey (verified repo-wide). With it gone, the struct field (agent_helpers.go:226) and the filter branch (agent_helpers.go:270-274) are orphaned — and that branch carries the same plaintext-vs-ciphertext defect, so leaving it is a footgun for the next person who reuses it. Please remove both in this PR.

4. Reference the real ticket

The PR body and commit use placeholders (PMM-0 / SUBMODULES-0). Please point them at the actual Jira ticket per team convention before merge.

roster.get's cold-cache fallback filtered FindAgents by AWSAccessKey, which
builds a SQL predicate on aws_options->>'aws_access_key'. That column is
encrypted at rest (EncryptAWSOptionsHandler), and FindAgents decrypts rows
only after the WHERE clause is applied, so the plaintext access key is
compared against ciphertext and matches zero rows.

This fallback runs when the in-memory roster has been cleared (e.g. after a
pmm-agent reconnect). With an empty result the StateChanged handler updates no
agents, leaving the grouped rds_exporter listen ports stale in the DB.
VictoriaMetrics' scrape configuration is built from those ports, so it keeps
scraping the old (now dead) ports and RDS metrics disappear until the roster
cache is warm again.

Fix: drop the encrypted-column SQL filter and match the access key in Go on
the decrypted AWSOptions returned by FindAgents. This mirrors how the SetState
builder groups rds_exporters and is correct regardless of column encryption.
The cache-hit path is unchanged.

Walkthrough

The change removes AWS access-key filtering from agent queries. RDS roster lookup retrieves candidate exporters and compares decrypted keys in Go. A regression test verifies cold-cache lookup behavior.

RDSExporterType is a typed constant, not a type, so new() cannot
construct it. Assign it to a local variable and take its address instead.
