- On-demand access to sumstats results through "return from"
functions named SumStats::request and Sumstats::request_key.
Both functions are tested in standalone and clustered modes.
- $name field has returned to SumStats which simplifies cluster
code and makes the on-demand access stuff possible.
- Clustered results can only be collected for 1 minute from their
time of creation now instead of time of last read.
- Thresholds use doubles instead of counts everywhere now.
- Calculation dependency resolution occurs at start up time now
instead of doing it at observation time which provide a minor
cpu performance improvement. A new plugin registration mechanism
was created to support this change.
- AppStats now has a minimal doc string and is broken into hook-based
plugins.
- AppStats and traceroute detection added to local.bro
- New, expanded API.
- Calculations moved into plugins.
- Scripts using measurement framework ported.
- Updated the script-land queue implementation to make it more generic.
-
So much nicer!
Closes#954.
* origin/topic/seth/notice-framework-updates:
Update notice framework documentation to represent the new reality.
Complete removal of the old table based notice policy mechanism.
Updates for the notices framework.
- Moved the Notice::notice event and Notice::policy table to both be hooks.
- Renamed the old Notice::policy to Notice::policy_table and documented it as deprecated.
Added a generic gtpv1_message event generated for any GTP message type.
Added specific events for the create/update/delete PDP context
request/response messages.
Addresses #934.
These cases should be avoidable by fixing scripts where they occur and
they can also help catch typos that would lead to unintentional runtime
behavior.
Adding this already revealed several scripts where a field in an inlined
record was never removed after a code refactor.
* origin/topic/bernhard/input-logging-commmon-functions:
add the last of Robins suggestions (separate info-struct for constructors).
port memory leak fix from master
harmonize function naming
move AsciiInputOutput over to threading
and thinking about it, ascii-io doesn't need the separator
change constructors
and factor stuff out the input framework too.
factor out ascii input/output.
std::string accessors to escape_sequence functionality
intermediate commit - it has been over a month since I touched this...
I cleaned up the AsciiInputOutput class somewhat, including renaming
it to AsciiFormatter, renaming some of its methods, and turning the
static methods into members for consistency.
Closes#929.
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 feature was primarily added to allow the value to be
modified for cluster based intermediate threshold checks
without requiring the user to write the metrics filter
differently for cluster consideration. It's also a nice
way to calculate some related information to the metric
without accidently applying thresholds to that value.
- Fixed a few small bugs in ftp detect-bruteforcing script
and adapted it to the new threshold value selection feature.
- Fixed several state maintenance issues for intermediate updates.
- Added a new tuning variable Metrics::max_outstanding_global_views
which limits the number of in-flight intermediate updates per
metric filter.
- Changed the default global view threshold percent to 20% (up from 10%)
- 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.
Both local and global variables declared with "const" could be modified,
but now expressions that would modify them should generate an error
message at parse-time.
