+Metrics Changelog
+=================
+
+This file tracks Prometheus metric additions, changes, and removals in java-tron. For the full set of metrics emitted today, see the references at the bottom.
+
+**4.8.2**
+
+### New Metrics
+
+#### Core
+
+- `tron:block_transaction_count` (Histogram, label `miner`) — per-block transaction count, sampled at the entry of `Manager#pushBlock` before any early return so duplicate, stale, and fork-switched pushes are observed alongside applied blocks. Primary use cases: empty-block detection per super representative, and per-SR TPS / throughput percentile interpolation. Default buckets `[0, 20, 50, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 230, 260, 300, 500, 2000, 5000, 10000]` are densified around 0–300 for percentile interpolation in the typical TPS range; 5000 and 10000 are retained as safety-net buckets to preserve resolution for outlier events such as stress tests or repush storms. ([#6624](https://github.com/tronprotocol/java-tron/pull/6624))
+
+  > **Operational note:** The effective upper bound is 10000; blocks exceeding that land in `+Inf`. Monitor the overflow ratio — e.g. `(rate(tron_block_transaction_count_bucket{le="+Inf"}[5m]) - rate(tron_block_transaction_count_bucket{le="10000"}[5m])) / rate(tron_block_transaction_count_count[5m]) > 0.01` — as a signal to re-tune the upper bound.
+
+#### Consensus
+
+- `tron:sr_set_change` (Counter, labels `action`, `witness`) — incremented once per witness whenever the active SR set rotates at a maintenance boundary. `action` is one of `add` / `remove`. Cardinality grows with the number of distinct witnesses that have ever entered or left the active set, not with the active set size at any given moment. ([#6624](https://github.com/tronprotocol/java-tron/pull/6624))
+
+**Pre-4.8.2 Baseline**
+
+Snapshot of metrics emitted prior to this changelog. Per-version provenance is not tracked here; consult `git log` on [`common/src/main/java/org/tron/common/prometheus/`](common/src/main/java/org/tron/common/prometheus/) for exact origin of each metric.

+
+#### API
+
+- `tron:http_service_latency_seconds` (Histogram, label `url`) — HTTP endpoint latency.
+- `tron:http_bytes` (Histogram, labels `url`, `status`) — HTTP traffic.
+- `tron:grpc_service_latency_seconds` (Histogram, label `endpoint`) — gRPC endpoint latency.

+
+#### DB
+
+- `tron:db_size_bytes` (Gauge, labels `type`, `db`, `level`) — storage size in bytes per engine, database, and level; `type` is the storage engine (`LEVELDB` or `ROCKSDB`) depending on node configuration.
+- `tron:db_sst_level` (Gauge, labels `type`, `db`, `level`) — SST files per compaction level per engine and database; `type` is the storage engine (`LEVELDB` or `ROCKSDB`) depending on node configuration.
+- `tron:guava_cache_hit_rate` (Gauge, label `type`) — hit rate of a Guava cache; `type` is the cache name.
+- `tron:guava_cache_request` (Gauge, label `type`) — total request count of a Guava cache; `type` is the cache name.
+- `tron:guava_cache_eviction_count` (Gauge, label `type`) — eviction count of a Guava cache; `type` is the cache name.
+- (Registered via `GuavaCacheExports` for caches that opt in to `CacheManager`.)
+
+#### Logging
+
+- `tron:error_info` (Counter, labels `topic`, `type`) — incremented on every ERROR-level log line by `InstrumentedAppender`.
+
+#### System
+
+Emitted by `OperatingSystemExports` (no labels):
+
+- `system_available_cpus`, `process_cpu_load`, `system_cpu_load`, `system_load_average`, `system_total_physical_memory_bytes`, `system_free_physical_memory_bytes`, `system_total_swap_spaces_bytes`, `system_free_swap_spaces_bytes`.
+
+#### JVM / process
+
+Auto-emitted by the Prometheus client library via `DefaultExports.initialize()` (`simpleclient_hotspot`). The full list is owned by the upstream library and not enumerated here; see the [client_java](https://github.com/prometheus/client_java) docs. Common ones: `jvm_memory_bytes_*`, `jvm_gc_collection_seconds_*`, `jvm_threads_*`, `process_cpu_seconds_total`, `process_open_fds`, `process_resident_memory_bytes`.
