- New, expanded API.
- Calculations moved into plugins.
- Scripts using measurement framework ported.
- Updated the script-land queue implementation to make it more generic.
-
- New script measures a couple of aspects of SMTP traffic.
- Existing metrics scripts had a small amount of work done
to make them work with changes to metrics framework.
- Missing GeoIP databases now generate warnings/errors that go through
the reporter framework instead of hitting GeoIP's internal use of
stderr
- lookup_location now just queries for country code if the city database
was not loaded, which gets rid of invalid database type errors.
- lookup_location now leaves missing fields uninitialized in the
returned geo_location record value. Updated existing scripts to
check for initialized fields in geo_location records before use.
- Fixed support for GeoIP's IPv6 API and databases
- 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.
- policy/ renamed to scripts/
- By default BROPATH now contains:
- scripts/
- scripts/policy
- scripts/site
- *Nearly* all tests pass.
- All of scripts/base/ is loaded by main.cc
- Can be disabled by setting $BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS
- Scripts in scripts/base/ don't use relative path loading to ease use of BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS (to copy and paste that script).
- The scripts in scripts/base/protocols/ only (or soon will only) do logging and state building.
- The scripts in scripts/base/frameworks/ add functionality without causing any additional overhead.
- All "detection" activity happens through scripts in scripts/policy/.
- Communications framework modified temporarily to need an environment variable to actually enable (ENABLE_COMMUNICATION=1)
- This is so the communications framework can be loaded as part
of the base without causing trouble when it's not needed.
- This will be removed once a resolution to ticket #540 is reached.
