<observations> Date: July 30, 2026 * 🔴 (16:49) User pointed to specific receiver in getsentry: `getsentry/receivers/orbital.py` (referenced GitHub URL with commit 659fd1d7b7c7dc33e34a91cd08b4aa5b48d288f9). Powers live.sentry.io * 🟡 (16:49) webfetch failed with statuscode-non-xx-status for the github.com raw URL (×2 occurrences this segment). User's local clone at `/home/byk/Code/getsentry/getsentry/getsentry/receivers/orbital.py` was used instead * 🟢 [tool-failure] (16:49) webfetch:other:statuscode-non-xx-status encountered on github.com URLs in this session — used local filesystem fallback * 🟡 (16:50) orbital receiver contents at `getsentry/receivers/orbital.py:1-46`: - L4: `from sentry.signals import event_accepted` - L8: `from getsentry.settings import ORBITAL_UDP_SERVER` - L10-17: try/except parsing `ORBITAL_UDP_SERVER` (host:port) and creating `socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM`; on exception sets `udp_socket = None` - L22: `@event_accepted.connect(weak=False)` - L23: `def notify_orbital(ip, data=None, **kwargs):` - L24-25: returns early if `udp_socket is None` - L26-29: tries `geo_by_addr(ip)`, returns silently on exception - L31-32: returns silently if `result` falsy - L34-37: extracts platform from `data.get("platform") or "other"`, lowercase - L39-44: builds packet `[round(lat,4), round(lng,4), int(time()*1000), platform]` - L46: `udp_socket.sendto(dumps(data).encode("utf-8"), udp_addr)` * 🟡 (16:50) orbital receiver module-load import chain: - `getsentry/receivers/__init__.py:8` → `from .orbital import *` - `getsentry/models/__init__.py:67` → `import getsentry.receivers` - Therefore activated in any getsentry Django-aware process (consumers, web, workers) * 🟡 (16:50) Receivers directory contents enumerated (15 files): activity.py, analytics.py, billing.py, cell.py, console_sdk_invite.py, incidents.py, __init__.py, lead_capture.py, orbital.py, policy.py, project.py, relocation.py, slack.py, spike_protection.py, usage.py, vercel.py * 🟡 (16:50) git log on orbital.py shows only 2 commits total: - `22243ea6ab chore(singletenant) Handle orbital not being configured (#9958)` by Mark Story, Thu Mar 23 15:34:27 2023 -0400 — added try/except to gracefully handle missing `ORBITAL_UDP_SERVER` for single-tenant - `95817ddbcc ref: vendor sentry-orbital (#7514)` — older refactor * 🟡 (16:50) No recent local changes to `orbital.py`, `receivers/__init__.py`, or `models/__init__.py` in last 2 months (git log returned empty for those paths within window). Local source-side changes ruled out as cause of volume drop * 🟡 (16:50) Assistant verified: drop is upstream of receiver, not in the receiver itself. Fewer `event_accepted.send_robust()` calls reaching `process_event` line 313 means fewer orbital UDP packets. Supports flag-hypothesis diagnosis * 🟡 (16:50) Assistant proposed two verification approaches: 1. Counter-test: restart one ingest consumer pod with `--reprocess-only-events-not-in-nodestore` removed; watch orbital traffic for spike 2. Metric: temporarily add `metrics.incr("orbital.event
