So much nicer!
Closes#954.
* origin/topic/seth/notice-framework-updates:
Update notice framework documentation to represent the new reality.
Complete removal of the old table based notice policy mechanism.
Updates for the notices framework.
The add_action, remove_action, and stop BIFs now go through a queue to
ensure that modifications are made at well-defined times and don't end
up invalidating loop iterators.
The Info record now uses a "table[ActionArgs] of ActionResults", which
allows for simultaneous actions of a given type as long as other args
(fields in the ActionArgs record) are different.
Added the file extraction action and did other misc. cleanup. Most of
the minimal core features/support for file analysis should be working at
this point, just have to start fleshing things out.
- Moved the Notice::notice event and Notice::policy table to both be hooks.
- Renamed the old Notice::policy to Notice::policy_table and documented it as deprecated.
Added a generic gtpv1_message event generated for any GTP message type.
Added specific events for the create/update/delete PDP context
request/response messages.
Addresses #934.
These cases should be avoidable by fixing scripts where they occur and
they can also help catch typos that would lead to unintentional runtime
behavior.
Adding this already revealed several scripts where a field in an inlined
record was never removed after a code refactor.
* origin/topic/bernhard/input-logging-commmon-functions:
add the last of Robins suggestions (separate info-struct for constructors).
port memory leak fix from master
harmonize function naming
move AsciiInputOutput over to threading
and thinking about it, ascii-io doesn't need the separator
change constructors
and factor stuff out the input framework too.
factor out ascii input/output.
std::string accessors to escape_sequence functionality
intermediate commit - it has been over a month since I touched this...
I cleaned up the AsciiInputOutput class somewhat, including renaming
it to AsciiFormatter, renaming some of its methods, and turning the
static methods into members for consistency.
Closes#929.
Moved this functionality to be internal instead of in the script-layer
event handlers. The issue with the later is that bad things can happen
between the time a reporter event handler is dispatched and the time it
is executed, and if bro crashes in that time, the message may never be
seen/logged.
Addressed #930 (and revisits #836).
Sadly there also seems to be another deadlock issue which I am currently
not really able to figure out - on shutdown sometimes (too often) the main
thread + all sqlite threads wait for semaphores or mutexes.
- The feature was primarily added to allow the value to be
modified for cluster based intermediate threshold checks
without requiring the user to write the metrics filter
differently for cluster consideration. It's also a nice
way to calculate some related information to the metric
without accidently applying thresholds to that value.
- Fixed a few small bugs in ftp detect-bruteforcing script
and adapted it to the new threshold value selection feature.
- Fixed several state maintenance issues for intermediate updates.
- Added a new tuning variable Metrics::max_outstanding_global_views
which limits the number of in-flight intermediate updates per
metric filter.
- Changed the default global view threshold percent to 20% (up from 10%)
- Removed default logging. Now a function is available for the new
$period_finished filter field to get the same behavior for logging
named Metrics::write_log.
- Added index rollups for getting multiple metrics result values
as the same time.
Both local and global variables declared with "const" could be modified,
but now expressions that would modify them should generate an error
message at parse-time.
First step - factored out everything the logging classes
use ( so only output ).
Moved the script-level configuration to logging/main,
and made the individual writers just refer to it -
no idea if this is good design. It works. But I am happy
about opinions :)
Next step - add support for input...
'only_single_header_row' that turns the output into CSV format.
In that mode all meta data is skipped except for a single header line
with the fields names. Example:
local my_filter: Log::Filter = [$name = "my-filter", $writer = Log::WRITER_ASCII, $config = table(["only_single_header_row"] = "T")];
