Why

Disaggregated requests today are observable only in pieces: PerfTimer CSV rows cover the ctx worker pipeline, RequestPerfMetrics.kv_cache_transfer_start/end cover the gen receive window, DisServingRequestStats and Prometheus expose per-iteration aggregates, and get_status_dump gives a hang-time snapshot. None of them answers "where did request N wait between GEN ingress and decode readiness, and which gate held it": scheduler KV admission, the transfer-window budget, KV rollback, timeout start/observe, cancellation and session settlement are not recorded anywhere.

#18913 proposed a parallel diagnostics stack (new sink, new env vars, ~30 nested emit blocks, a 1.4k-line analyzer) for this. Roughly a third of its events duplicate PerfTimer and the request metrics, and the instrumentation cost in transfer.py is significant. This PR takes the minimal route instead: add only the missing boundaries, on top of the logging infrastructure that already exists.

What

  • PerfLogManager.event(name, request, **fields): one JSONL line per lifecycle boundary, written to {TRTLLM_KVCACHE_TIME_OUTPUT_PATH}/lifecycle_rank{rank}_pid{pid}.jsonl. Same directory and same gate as the existing CSVs; no new environment variable. Timestamps use the rank-aligned steady clock that kv_cache_transfer_start/end already use, so the events line up with the request metrics and PerfTimer rows without a second clock domain. Disabled path is one attribute check per call site; event() swallows its own errors.
  • Eleven single-line call sites for the boundaries nothing else covers: gen_ingress, gen_kv_admission (scheduler V2 prepare_disagg_gen_init), gen_transfer_window (admitted/deferred with active and budget blocks), gen_kv_rollback, ctx_send_ready, timeout_started / timeout_observed (both sides), cancel_requested, settled (ctx and gen; completed/failed/cancelled), ctx_kv_released, gen_decode_ready. The event list is documented in LIFECYCLE_EVENTS in perf_logger.py.
  • scripts/disagg_lifecycle_timeline.py: joins the JSONL files by disaggregated request id, prints each request's ordered timeline with gaps, and a p50/p90/max table of every observed transition. Cross-process gaps are flagged.
  • tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_disagg_lifecycle_events.py (CPU-only): disabled path writes nothing, record shape and identity, error isolation, unchanged CSV gating, and the timeline script end to end.

transfer.py and PerfTimer are untouched; ctx_transfer_queued/worker_dequeued/backend_* from #18913 are already available as queue_latency_ms / transfer_latency_ms in the existing CSV.

Behavior change

None for existing users. TRTLLM_KVCACHE_TIME_OUTPUT_PATH keeps producing the same {instance}_{rank}.csv and *_gen_transfer_summary.csv; the directory additionally gains one lifecycle_*.jsonl per process.

Test

  • tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_disagg_lifecycle_events.py: 8 passed (chuangz-desktop dev container, installed package overlay).
  • pre-commit run --files <changed>: all hooks pass.
  • Not yet exercised end to end on a multi-GPU disagg run; CI pending.

Relationship to #18913

Alternative, smaller implementation of the executor-level part of #18913, reusing PerfLogManager instead of a new diagnostics module. Happy to fold in additional boundaries from that PR as single event() calls if they turn out to be needed.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 35600

The lifecycle CLI can show a false event order and misleading latency statistics when context and generation run in separate clock domains. Fix that analysis error before merging, and add focused runtime coverage and buffered logging so diagnostics remain reliable under transfer contention.

In `@scripts/disagg_lifecycle_timeline.py`:
- Around line 78-93: Update the timeline ordering and gap calculation around the
recs.sort loop to avoid comparing t_steady across clock domains. Use the
existing instance identity or an explicit clock-domain field to determine
whether consecutive records share an aligned domain; use t_steady only within
that domain, and use t_wall or separate timelines across domains. Add a
regression case with reversed t_steady values but ordered t_wall values,
verifying correct ordering and gap/transition statistics.

In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/orchestration/coordinator.py`:
- Around line 249-255: Add a focused coordinator-level instrumentation test that
uses a recording performance logger, invokes admit() and
check_transfer_timeouts(), and verifies the emitted gen_transfer_window fields
admitted, active_blocks, and budget_blocks plus timeout_observed fields side,
cancel, and elapsed_ms. Place it in the existing coordinator test suite or the
lifecycle-events test module, covering the DisaggTransferCoordinator call sites
rather than only PerfLogManager.event().
- Around line 285-331: Update PerfLogManager.event usage in admit and
revert_deferred_gen_init so lifecycle records remain emitted on every scheduling
pass while writes are buffered or batched rather than synchronously written and
flushed per event. Preserve the gen_transfer_window and gen_kv_rollback records
and their existing admission and rollback data.

In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/transceiver.py`:
- Around line 993-998: Add focused CPU-only tests for KvCacheTransceiverV2 that
drive completed and cancelled requests through the status and cancellation
paths, capture the settled and cancel_requested lifecycle events, and assert
their side and outcome fields, including failed classification for cancellation.

In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py`:
- Around line 5991-5996: Extend CPU-only tests for the PyExecutor lifecycle
branches: drive a validated DISAGG_GENERATION_INIT request through the
validation flow and assert gen_ingress includes prompt_len, exercise first-token
reception and assert gen_decode_ready, and cover context-only cleanup asserting
ctx_kv_released includes request.state.name. Keep existing PerfLogManager tests
intact and target the executor hook paths rather than testing logger methods
directly.

In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py`:
- Around line 731-733: Add a CPU regression test in
test_disagg_lifecycle_events.py that exercises schedule_request with
prepare_disagg_gen_init returning both True and False. For each call, assert
exactly one gen_kv_admission event is recorded and verify its admitted field
matches the preparation result.

Do not derive cross-server order from t_steady. The rank-adjusted clock aligns ranks within one MPI world, not separate ctx and gen servers. Events from those servers can therefore have different t_steady offsets. Sorting by t_steady can reverse wall-time order, and subtracting those values can report false gaps and corrupt transition statistics.

Use the existing instance identity, or an explicit clock-domain field, to detect aligned domains. Use t_steady only within one domain. For different domains, sort and calculate approximate gaps with t_wall, or keep the timelines separate. Add a regression case with reversed t_steady values and ordered t_wall values.

Add a coordinator-level instrumentation test.

The coordinator tests cover admission and timeout state, but they do not assert the records emitted by DisaggTransferCoordinator. The direct PerfLogManager.event() tests cannot detect an incorrect event name, field name, or side/cancel value at these call sites.

Add a focused test that invokes admit() and check_transfer_timeouts() with a recording performance logger. Assert gen_transfer_window fields (admitted, active_blocks, and budget_blocks) and timeout_observed fields (side, cancel, and elapsed_ms). Place it in the coordinator test suite or tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_disagg_lifecycle_events.py.

Avoid flushing each lifecycle record on the scheduling path.

When lifecycle output is enabled and active transfers keep a candidate deferred, admit() emits gen_transfer_window on each scheduling pass. KV manager V2 also emits gen_kv_rollback after each deferred rollback. PerfLogManager.event() writes and flushes each JSONL record synchronously. This can add repeated synchronous I/O while the scheduler is congested.

Keep these per-pass records because they represent admission decisions and rollback operations, but buffer or batch lifecycle writes instead of gating them on an admission-state transition.

Add focused transceiver lifecycle-event coverage. Existing tests exercise some KvCacheTransceiverV2 paths, but they do not capture the emitted settled or cancel_requested records and assert their side and outcome fields. Add CPU-only coverage that drives a completed and a cancelled request through the V2 status/cancellation paths and checks the emitted records. This can detect an incorrect classification such as completed instead of failed.

Cover the PyExecutor lifecycle hooks.

tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_disagg_lifecycle_events.py tests PerfLogManager.event() and timeline assembly, but it does not drive the executor branches. Add focused CPU-only coverage for:

  • A validated DISAGG_GENERATION_INIT request emitting gen_ingress with prompt_len.
  • The first-token receive path emitting gen_decode_ready.
  • Context-only cleanup emitting ctx_kv_released with request.state.name.

This catches state-predicate or hook-placement regressions that direct logger tests cannot detect.

Cover the scheduler-generated gen_kv_admission record.

The CPU scheduler tests already exercise prepare_disagg_gen_init with both True and False results, but they assert only scheduling output. Add a CPU regression test in tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_disagg_lifecycle_events.py that drives schedule_request for both outcomes, asserts one gen_kv_admission record per call, and checks that its admitted field matches the preparation result. The coverage contract requires this test for the new observable behavior.

…erf log

Extend PerfLogManager with a JSONL lifecycle stream written next to the
existing per-task CSVs when TRTLLM_KVCACHE_TIME_OUTPUT_PATH is set. Eleven
executor/coordinator/transceiver boundaries that no existing metric covers
(GEN ingress, scheduler KV admission, transfer-window decision, KV rollback,
ctx send-ready, timeout start/observe, cancel request, session settlement,
ctx KV release, decode ready) each become a single perf_log_manager.event()
call. Timestamps use the same rank-aligned steady clock as the
kv_cache_transfer_start/end request metrics, so the new events line up with
RequestPerfMetrics and PerfTimer rows without a second clock domain.

scripts/disagg_lifecycle_timeline.py joins the files by request id and prints
per-request timelines plus p50/p90/max of every observed transition.

Existing CSV outputs and gating are unchanged; the disabled path is one
attribute check per call site.
