For broker.log and cluster.log: there was a race condition. A worker's
first IOSource that it processes is potentially Broker if there were
no packets available yet and thread scheduling happens to work out
such that network connections (inside CAF threads) become established
before we enter the main I/O loop. Such peering establishments would
generate logs with timestamp 0 as there was not yet any code path
taken that would update network_time.
For reporter.log: any non-worker (packet-processing) node would just
unnecessarily use a timestamp of 0 for their reporter messages.
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).
The BroFile ctor now wraps /dev/std{in,out,err} string arguments
into the actual FILE* provided by stdio.h because use of the former
directly isn't POSIX compliant and led to subtle differences that
broke unit tests on certain platforms (e.g. OS X redirection of stderr
behavior started differing from Linux). The BroFile (un)serialization
methods already did this kind of logic, so adding it in the ctor also
should make things more consistent.
Some of the reporter-related unit tests looked like they were missing
output because of this, and the coverage test for bare-mode errors
needed tweaking to branch on whether or not libcurl was available
(since the error output differs when elasticsearch isn't there).
* origin/topic/robin/reporting:
Syslog BiF now goes through the reporter as well.
Avoiding infinite loops when an error message handlers triggers errors itself.
Renaming the Logger to Reporter.
Overhauling the internal reporting of messages to the user.
Updating a bunch of tests/baselines as well.
