Adds spans to 15 previously-unmeasured hot paths so every question we
might ask while tuning has a histogram to answer it:
External I/O:
- iem.fetch_iemre (gridded weather reanalysis)
- mrms.list_latest / mrms.download (precip radar)
- rtma.fetch_observation
- ncei.fetch_metar (historical 5-min METAR backfill)
- solar.fetch_indices (GFZ solar indices)
- swpc.fetch (SWPC Kp/F10.7/X-ray)
- giro.fetch (ionosonde)
- qrz.request, geocoder.geocode (callsign enrichment)
- srtm.download_tile (terrain tile download + gunzip)
- hrrr.download_grib_ranges (parallel byte-range fetch phase)
Subprocess:
- wgrib2.extract_grid / extract_grid_from_file / extract_grid_from_file_mapped
LiveView hot paths:
- propagation.scores_at (map score fetch + cache hit/miss counter)
- propagation.point_forecast (sparkline)
- propagation.point_detail (click-to-inspect)
- propagation.daily_outlook_at (/map outlook strip)
Worker-level end-to-end:
- worker.terrain_profile
- worker.mechanism_classify
- worker.mrms_fetch
Each event is registered in Microwaveprop.PromEx.InstrumentPlugin as
a Prometheus histogram (default / long buckets as appropriate) plus
a counter for the scores_at cache hit/miss ratio. Prometheus at
10.0.15.25 will start seeing the new series on the next scrape after
deploy.
Instead of shelling out to https://gridmap.org/locate/:callsign for
callsign → lat/lon lookups, ports the resolver pipeline from gridmap-web
into this project so the whole flow runs in-process.
New modules:
- Microwaveprop.Qrz — cache facade over the QRZ.com XML callsign API.
Looks up from qrz_callsigns first, falls back to a live fetch, and
upserts the result with a configurable cache_ttl_hours (default
168h / 7 days).
- Microwaveprop.Qrz.Client — HTTP/XML client against
https://xmldata.qrz.com/xml/current/. Holds the session key in an
Agent, transparently re-logs-in on :session_expired, and parses
responses via xmerl.
- Microwaveprop.Qrz.Callsign — Ecto schema for the qrz_callsigns
cache table, binary_id primary key per project convention.
- Microwaveprop.Qrz.Record — slim struct with only the 11 fields
we actually consume (identity, name, grid, address, lat/lon).
The full XML payload stays in the raw :data jsonb column for
anyone who wants the other ~40 QRZ fields.
- Microwaveprop.Geocoder — Req-based client against the Google Maps
Geocoding API. Only called as a fallback when QRZ has no explicit
<lat>/<lon> for the callsign.
- Microwaveprop.CallsignLocation — orchestrator. Reads the
callsign_locations cache, on miss calls Qrz then either uses QRZ's
coords directly or geocodes the formatted address, snaps to an
8-char Maidenhead grid via Microwaveprop.Radio.Maidenhead, and
upserts the result.
Microwaveprop.Radio.CallsignClient.locate/1 is rewritten to delegate
to CallsignLocation.lookup/1 and shape the response back to the
existing {:ok, %{callsign, gridsquare, lat, lon}} contract so the
callers in PathLive and RoverLive don't change.
Wiring:
- priv/repo/migrations/20260413000000_create_qrz_callsigns_and_callsign_locations.exs
creates qrz_callsigns and callsign_locations with unique indexes
on :callsign.
- Microwaveprop.Qrz.Client added to the application supervision tree
so the session Agent is started.
- :xmerl added to extra_applications so the release bundles it.
- config/test.exs wires Req.Test plugs for Microwaveprop.Qrz.Client
and Microwaveprop.Geocoder, forces cache_ttl_hours: 0 so the cache
never short-circuits test-level stubs, and supplies dummy QRZ
credentials.
- config/runtime.exs pulls QRZ_USERNAME / QRZ_PASSWORD / QRZ_AGENT
and GOOGLE_API_KEY from the environment so prod and dev can
configure both upstream keys out of band.
Tests (ported verbatim from gridmap-web):
- test/microwaveprop/qrz/callsign_test.exs — schema/changeset
- test/microwaveprop/qrz_test.exs — cache hit, cache miss, TTL
behavior, upsert on stale, error passthrough, case-insensitive
input
- test/microwaveprop/geocoder_test.exs — success, zero results,
request denied, transport error
- test/microwaveprop/callsign_location_test.exs — end-to-end flow
including the QRZ-lat/lon shortcut and the missing-address error
path
All 1294 tests still pass. Credo strict clean.
