- 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.
- Metrics:ID enum has been replaced with strings.
- Uniqueness can now be measured with the Metrics::add_unique function.
- Filters can change the index value with the $normalize_func field.
- Fixed a bug where notices were being passed to proxies.
This was a mistake and should greatly reduce load on
many clusters.
- Cluster event regex variables renamed to:
- Notice::manager2worker_events
- Notice::manager2proxy_events
- Notice::worker2manager_events
- Notice::worker2proxy_events
- Notice::proxy2manager_events
- Notice::proxy2worker_events
- The default Notice::policy set is cleared for all cluster
nodes except for managers to cause all default notice
processing to occur on managers. This should reduce load
on workers slightly.
- Since each host in a cluster has it's own view of the metrics
the only time the manager would get a chance for a global view
is the break_interval. This update improves that time. If a
worker crosses 10% of the full threshold, it will send it's
value to the manager which can then ask the rest of the cluster
for a global view. The manager then adds all of the values for
each workers metric indexes together and will do the notice
if it crosses the threshold so that it isn't dependent on
waiting for the break interval to hit. This functionality
works completely independently of the break_interval too. Logging
will happen as normal.
- Small update for SSH bruteforcer detection to match additions in
the metrics framework API.
- The hope is that this update is mostly invisible from anyone's
perspective. The only affect it should have on users is to better
the detection of metric values crossing thresholds on cluster
deployments.
- fixing some Metrics::add_data() call signatures
- slight refactors to cluster framework @if and adding a NONE NodeType for
so local_node_type() will return that instead of just emitting an error
when cluster mode isn't enabled
- `make restdoc` target now uses bro's bare-mode
- bro scripts generated from bifs now really only live in the build/src/base/
directory and changed the DocSourcesList.cmake to dynamically figure out
what bifs exist by looking in src/ instead of build/src/
- add some missing @load dependencies
- Metrics now work on cluster deployments with no caveats. It should be
completely transparent. Intermediate updates to speed some detection
will come later.
