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.
These have been discussed in the context of "@if &analyze" [1] and
am much in favor for not disabling/removing ~100 lines (more than
fits on a single terminal) out from the middle of a file. There's no
performance impact for having these handlers enabled unconditionally.
Also, any future work on "@if &analyze" will look at them again which
we could also skip.
This also reverts back to the behavior where the Cluster::LOG stream
is created even in non cluster setups like in previous Zeek versions.
As long as no one writes to it there's essentially no difference. If
someone does write to Cluster::LOG, I'd argue not black holing these
messages is better. Schema generators using Log::active_streams will
continue to discover Cluster::LOG even if they run in non-cluster
mode.

* jgras/topic/jgras/cluster-active-node-count-fix:
Fix get_active_node_count for node types not present.
Changed over to explicit existence check instead to avoid the set()
creation upon missed lookups.
This set contains the topics to reach all cluster nodes. Due to broker's
forwarding mechanism, we cannot define a single broadcast topic, as it
would create routing loops.
This adds a "policy" hook into the logging framework's streams and
filters to replace the existing log filter predicates. The hook
signature is as follows:
hook(rec: any, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter);
The logging manager invokes hooks on each log record. Hooks can veto
log records via a break, and modify them if necessary. Log filters
inherit the stream-level hook, but can override or remove the hook as
needed.
The distribution's existing log streams now come with pre-defined
hooks that users can add handlers to. Their name is standardized as
"log_policy" by convention, with additional suffixes when a module
provides multiple streams. The following adds a handler to the Conn
module's default log policy hook:
hook Conn::log_policy(rec: Conn::Info, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter)
{
if ( some_veto_reason(rec) )
break;
}
By default, this handler will get invoked for any log filter
associated with the Conn::LOG stream.
The existing predicates are deprecated for removal in 4.1 but continue
to work.
Node-specific topic prefix subscriptions/publications now add a trailing
slash like "zeek/cluster/node/<name>/". Without the trailing slash,
messages attempting to target "proxy-10" may also be sent to "proxy-1"
since subscription matching is prefix-based.
More aspects of the cluster configuration to get fleshed out later,
but a basic cluster like one would use for a live deployment
can now be instantiated and run under supervision. The new
clusterized-pcap-processing supervisor mode is also not done yet.
For backward compatibility when reading values, we first check
the ZEEK-prefixed value, and if not set, then check the corresponding
BRO-prefixed value.
* All "Broxygen" usages have been replaced in
code, documentation, filenames, etc.
* Sphinx roles/directives like ":bro:see" are now ":zeek:see"
* The "--broxygen" command-line option is now "--zeexygen"
