This field is used internally to trace which analyzers already had a
violation. This is mostly used to prevent duplicate logging.
In the past, c$service_violation was used for a similar purpose -
however it has slightly different semantics. Where c$failed_analyzers
tracks analyzers that were removed due to a violation,
c$service_violation tracks violations - and doesn't care if an analyzer
was actually removed due to it.
To address review feedback in GH-4362: rename analyzer-failed-log.zeek
to loggig.zeek, analyzer-debug-log.zeek to debug-logging.zeek and
dpd-log.zeek to deprecated-dpd-log.zeek.
Includes respective test, NEWS, etc updates.
The main part of this commit are changes in tests. A lot of the tests
that previously relied on analyzer.log or dpd.log now use the new
analyzer-failed.log.
I verified all the changes and, as far as I can tell, everything
behaves as it should. This includes the external test baselines.
This change also enables logging of file and packet analyzer to
analyzer_failed.log and fixes some small behavior issues.
The analyzer_failed event is no longer raised when the removal of an
analyzer is vetoed.
If an analyzer is no longer active when an analyzer violation is raised,
currently the analyzer_failed event is raised. This can, e.g., happen
when an analyzer error happens at the very end of the connection. This
makes the behavior more similar to what happened in the past, and also
intuitively seems to make sense.
A bug introduced in the failed service logging was fixed.
Analyzer-failed.log is, essentially, the replacement for dpd.log. The
name should make more sense, as it does now log analyzer failures. For
protocol analyzers specifically, these are failures that lead to the
analyzer being disabled.
The current analyzer.log is more useful for debugging than for
operational purposes. Hence this is disabled by default, moved to a
policy script, and the log is renamed to analyzer-debug.log.
Furthermore, logging of analyzer confirmations and disabling analyzers
are now enabled by default.
This is the first phase of moving from the current dpd log to a more
modern logfile, without some of the weirdnesses that the current dpd log
contains.
Tests will not pass in the current state; this is just splitting out
functionality.

This change adds two new hooks to the Intel framework that can be used
to intercept added and removed indicators and their type.
These hooks are fairly low-level. One immediate use-case is to count the
number of indicators loaded per Intel::Type and enable and disable the
corresponding event groups of the intel/seen scripts.
I attempted to gauge the overhead and while it's definitely there, loading
a file with ~500k DOMAIN entries takes somewhere around ~0.5 seconds hooks
when populated via the min_data_store store mechanism. While that
doesn't sound great, it actually takes the manager on my system 2.5
seconds to serialize and Cluster::publish() the min_data_store alone
and its doing that serially for every active worker. Mostly to say that
the bigger overhead in that area on the manager doing redundant work
per worker.

This only changes the script-layer API, but keeps the std::string host
in the C++ layer's ServerOptions. Mostly because the ixwebsocket library
takes host as std::string. Also, maybe at some point we'd want to
support something scheme-based like unix:///var/run/zeek.sock and placing
that in a string could not be totally wrong.
Add tests for IPV6, too.

This deprecates the Event constructor and the ``ts`` parameter of Enqueue()
Instead, versions are introduced that take a detail::MetadataVectorPtr which
can hold the network timestamp metadata and is meant to be allocated by the
caller instead of automatically during Enqueue() or within the Event
constructor.
This also introduces a BifConst ``EventMetadata::add_network_timestamp`` to
opt-in adding network timestamps to events globally. It's disabled by
default as there are not a lot of known use cases that need this.

update baseline for zam
Update src/zeek.bif
Change from_json to return an error rather than print it.
When a node restarts or a peering between two nodes starts over for other
reasons, the internal tracking in the Broker manager resets its state (since
it's per-peering), and thus the message overflow counter. The script layer was
unaware of this, and threw errors when trying to reset the corresponding counter
metric down to zero at sync time.
We now track past buffer overflows via a separate epoch table, using Broker peer
ID comparisons to identify new peerings, and set the counter to the sum of past
and current overflows.
I considered just making this a gauge, but it seems more helpful to be able to
look at a counter to see whether any messages have ever been dropped over the
lifetime of the node process.
As an aside, this now also avoids repeatedly creating the labels vector,
re-using the same one for each metric.
Thanks to @pbcullen for identifying this one!

At every site where we've dug into backpressure disconnect findings, it has been
the case that the default values were too small. 8192, so 4x the old default,
suffices at every site to drown out premature disconnects.
With metrics now available for the send buffers regardless of backpressure
overflow policy, this also switches the default from "disconnect" to
"drop_oldest" (for both peers and websockets), meaning that peerings remain
untouched but the oldest queued message simply gets dropped when a new message
is enqueued. With this policy, the number of backpressure overflows is then
simply the count of discarded messages, something that users can tune to see
drop to zero in everyday use. Another benefit is that marginal overflows cause
less message loss than when an entire buffer's worth (plus potentially more
in-flight messages) gets thrown out with a disconnect.
Since a reorg in the Broker library (commit b04195183) that revamped flow
control and that we pulled in with Zeek 5.0, this setting hasn't done
anything. Broker's endpoint::make_subscriber() and
endpoint::make_status_subscriber() take a queue size argument (with a default
value) that simply gets dropped in the eventual subscriber::make() call. See:
b041951835 (diff-5c0d2baa7981caeb6a4080708ddca6ad929746d10c73d66598e46d7c2c03c8deL34-R178)

Add basic btest to verify that Broker peering telemetry is available.
Add cluster framework telemetry for Broker's send-buffer use
Add peer buffer update tracking to the Broker manager's event_observer
Rename the Broker manager's LoggerAdapter
Avoid race in the cluster/broker/publish-any btest
This hooks into Telemetry::sync() to update Broker-level metrics tracking the
peerings' send buffer state. We do this in the cluster framework so we can label
the resulting metrics with Zeek cluster node names, not Broker's endpoint IDs.
This implements basic tracking of each peering's current fill level, the maximum
level over a recent time interval (via a new Broker::buffer_stats_reset_interval
tunable, defaulting to 1min), and the number of times a buffer overflows. For
the disconnect policy this is the number of depeerings, but for drop_newest and
drop_oldest it implies the number of messages lost.
This doesn't use "proper" telemetry metrics for a few reasons: this tracking is
Broker-specific, so we need to track each peering via endpoint_ids, while we
want the metrics to use Cluster node name labels, and the latter live in the
script layer. Using broker::endpoint_id directly as keys also means we rely on
their ability to hash in STL containers, which should be fast.
This does not track the buffer levels for Broker "clients" (as opposed to
"peers"), i.e. WebSockets, since we currently don't have a way to name these,
and we don't want to use ephemeral Broker IDs in their telemetry.
To make the stats accessible to the script layer the Broker manager (via a new
helper class that lives in the event_observer) maintains a TableVal mapping
Broker IDs to a new BrokerPeeringStats record. The table's members get updated
every time that table is requested. This minimizes new val instantiation and
allows the script layer to customize the BrokerPeeringStats record by redefing,
updating fields, etc. Since we can't use Zeek vals outside the main thread, this
requires some care so all table updates happen only in the Zeek-side table
updater, PeerBufferState::GetPeeringStatsTable().
Limit the number WebSocket events queued from external clients to
dispatcher instances to produce back pressure to the clients if
Zeek's IO loop is overloaded.
