@openvidu-dashboard/typings

Contracts shared by the dashboard backend and frontend, including the analytics data model that the OpenVidu server (openvidu-livekit, openvidu/analytics/) writes and the dashboard reads.

Analytics data model contract

Path	Content
src/schema-version.ts	SCHEMA_VERSION and MIN_SUPPORTED_SCHEMA_VERSION
src/data-model/	Document types, enums, collection names, retention defaults
schema/*.schema.json	One MongoDB $jsonSchema validator per collection
schema/indexes.json	Every index the writer creates (keys, options, TTL as fixed seconds or retention class)
schema/collections.json	Collections in creation order, validator file, retention class, time-series options
schema/contract_version.txt	SCHEMA_VERSION as text, read by the writer's contract test
fixtures/*.json	Canonical documents per collection, in Extended JSON with explicit BSON number types
contract/	Sources of schema/ and fixtures/ (schema builder, index list, fixture scenario)

schema/ and fixtures/ are generated: edit contract/ and run pnpm --filter @openvidu-dashboard/typings contract. The tests fail when a generated file is out of date.

Conventions

• Dates are UTC Date; durations integer milliseconds (…Ms); sizes integer bytes; jitter in milliseconds as a double; score is the LiveKit MOS (1.0–4.5).
• Counters are int32 (int64 accepted); milliseconds and bytes are int64 (int32 accepted); ratios and scores are double.
• An optional field is absent while unknown, never null. Exception: expiresAt is null while an entity is open.
• Rollup counters are created by their first increment: an absent counter is zero.
• Protocol enums keep the protocol name without prefix (API_DELETE, CLIENT_INITIATED); model statuses are lower case. Rollup map keys are enum names or fixed vocabularies, never user input.
• internal holds writer bookkeeping (id sets behind counters); the dashboard never reads it.
• Validators reject unknown fields; the writer applies them with validationAction: warn in production and error in tests. Time-series collections do not accept validators, so track_stats is validated only in the plain-collection fallback.

Reconciler closures

The writer's reconciler closes rooms, participant sessions, egress and ingress sessions whose end event never arrived (node crash, unflushed shutdown, lost event):

• Closed documents carry closedBy: "reconciler"; entities closed by their own event carry closedBy: "event".
• Rooms get endReason: "RECONCILED", participants disconnectReason: "RECONCILED" (left, or aborted when the session never became active), egress status: "failed" with error: "egress lost (reconciled)", ingress sessions status: "error".
• The end time is estimated from the last signal of the entity, max(lastStatsAt, lastEventAt) (at most one stats interval early); tracks and subscriptions closed with a participant inherit its end time.
• Every closure has one raw event of the matching close type with synthetic: true and _id: "AE_SYN_<entity id>"; its payload adds reconciler.reason (node-dead, absent-live, cascade, room-closed-node-dead).
• Counters and rollups count a closure once. A real close event that arrives later replaces the end time, the reason and closedBy, and is not counted again.
• schema_meta _id: "reconciler" records the last run.

When to bump SCHEMA_VERSION

Once a version has shipped in a release, bump it in the same coordinated change on both sides when the other side must know about the change:

• a collection, field or index is added, removed or renamed;
• a field changes type, unit or meaning, or an enum gains or loses a value;
• a retention class or the shape of a schema_meta document changes.

Descriptions, fixture values and tests do not need a bump. Until the first release that ships a version, that version may still change without a bump. Raise MIN_SUPPORTED_SCHEMA_VERSION only when the dashboard depends on the new contract.

Sharing the contract with the writer

The writer vendors schema/ and fixtures/ under openvidu-livekit/openvidu/analytics/schema/contract/ and fails its tests when contract_version.txt differs from its own schema version constant:

dashboard-ce/typings/contract/vendor.sh ../openvidu-livekit
