With this commit, the data structure that is transfered for notice
suppression is much smaller than before, not including potentially
complex data structures like the fa_file record.
Instead of storing the entire notice in Notice::suppressing,
just store the time the notice should be suppressed until.
This has the same functionality, except that end_suppression can no
longer be generated.
- 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.
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.
This could, for example, result in duplicate emails being sent (one from
manager and one from worker) if Notice::emailed_types is redef'd in
local.bro (or any script that gets loaded on all cluster nodes).
The problem was that Notice::policy is used to populate the internal
Notice::ordered_policy vector in a priority 10 bro_init handler (in
scripts/base/frameworks/notice/main.bro) and then that is what is used
when applying policy to notices. In order for
scripts/base/frameworks/notice/cluster.bro to prevent Notice::policy
from being used on non-manager nodes, it needs to clear it in a
bro_init hander of higher priority than 10.
- 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.
