The get-nodes command also benefits from showing the state on connected agents
more broadly (as opposed to just the one for the current configuration).
Also a bugfix: ensure we use an agent's IP address as seen by the
controller. This avoids reporting "0.0.0.0" in some cases.
This response so far contained only the connected instances that are relevant to
the current configuration, but this isn't very helpful when troubleshooting
instance connectivity. It now reports all currently connected instances, with
network addresses & ports as known to Broker.
This swaps the host event argument for the Broker ID. The latter is more useful,
since the sending agent doesn't necessarily know its IP address as visible to
the controller, and the controller can pull up the full Broker context via the
ID.
It also adds an explicit argument to the event to indicate whether the agent
connected to the controller or vice versa. This simplifies the controller's
internal logic.
Also minor tweaks to logging to show Broker IDs.
This uses the new frameworks/management/supervisor functionality to maintain
stdout/stderr files, and hooks output context into set_configuration error
results.
We so far reported one result record per agent, which made it hard to report
per-node outcomes for the new configuration. Agents now report one result record
per node they're responsible for.
When the controller relays requests to agents, we want agents to time out more
quickly than the corresponding controller requests. This allows agents to
respond with more meaningful errors, while the controller's timeout acts mostly
as a last resort to ensure a response to the client actually happens.
This dials down the table_expire_interval to 2 seconds in both agent and
controller, for more predictable timeout behavior. It also dials the agent-side
request expiration interval down to 5 seconds, compared to the agent's 10
seconds.
We may have to revisit this to allow custom expiration intervals per
request/response message type.
Includes submodule bumps for Broker (to pull in better handling of data
structures that are difficult to unserialize in Python), zeek-client (for the
get-config command), and a commit hash update for the external testsuite.
This adds an optional set of cluster node names to narrow the querying to. It
similarly expands the dispatch mechanism, since it likely most sense for any
such request to apply only to a subset of nodes.
Requests for invalid nodes trigger Response records in error state.
This adds support for retrieving the value of a global identifier from any
subset of cluster nodes. It relies on the lookup_ID() BiF to retrieve the val,
and to_json() to render the value to an easily parsed string. Ideally we'd send
the val directly, but this hits several roadblocks, including the fact that
Broker won't serialize arbitrary values.
This adds request/response event pairs to enable the controller to dispatch
"actions" (pre-implemented Zeek script actions) on subsets of Zeek cluster nodes
and collect the results. Using generic events to carry multiple such "run X on
the nodes" scenarios simplifies adding these in the future.
This provides Broker-level plumbing that allows agents to reach out to their
managed Zeek nodes and collect responses.
As a first event, it establishes Management::Node::API::notify_agent_hello,
to notify the agent when the cluster node is ready to communicate.
Also a bit of comment rewording to replace use of "data cluster" with simply
"cluster", to avoid ambiguity with data nodes in SumStats, and expansion of
test-all-policy.zeek and related/dependent tests, since we're introducing new
scripts.
- This gives the cluster controller and agent the common name "Management
framework" and changes the start directory of the sources from
"policy/frameworks/cluster" to "policy/frameworks/management". This avoids
ambiguity with the existing cluster framework.
- It renames the "ClusterController" and "ClusterAgent" script modules to
"Management::Controller" and "Management::Agent", respectively. This allows us
to anchor tooling common to both controller and agent at the "Management"
module.
- It moves common configuration settings, logging, requests, types, and
utilities to the common "Management" module.
- It removes the explicit "::Types" submodule (so a request/response result is
now a Management::Result, not a Management::Types::Result), which makes
typenames more readable.
- It updates tests that depend on module naming and full set of scripts.
