In the past, we used a default canonifier, which removes everything that
looks like a timestamp from log files. The goal of this is to prevent
logs from changing, e.g., due to local system times ending up in log
files.
This, however, also has the side-effect of removing information that is
parsed from protocols which probably should be part of our tests.
There is at least one test (1999 certificates) where the entire test
output was essentially removed by the canonifier.
GH-4521 was similarly masked by this.
This commit changes the default canonifier, so that only the first
timestamp in a line is removed. This should skip timestamps that are
likely to change while keeping timestamps that are parsed
from protocol information.
A pass has been made over the tests, with some additional adjustments
for cases which require the old canonifier.
There are some cases in which we probably could go further and not
remove timestamps at all - that, however, seems like a follow-up
project.
This field isn't required by a worker and it's certainly not used by a
worker to listen on that specific interface. It also isn't required to
be set consistently and its use in-tree limited to the old load-balancing
script.
There's a bif called packet_source() which on a worker will provide
information about the actually used packet source.
Relates to zeek/zeek#2877.
- Use `-b` most everywhere, it will save time.
- Start some intel tests upon the input file being fully read instead of
at an arbitrary time.
- Improve termination condition for some sumstats/cluster tests.
- Filter uninteresting output from some supervisor tests.
- Test for `notice_policy.log` is no longer needed.
This also installs symlinks from "zeek" and "bro-config" to a wrapper
script that prints a deprecation warning.
The btests pass, but this is still WIP. broctl renaming is still
missing.
