While we support initializing records via coercion from an expression
list, e.g.,
local x: X = [$x1=1, $x2=2];
this can sometimes obscure the code to readers, e.g., when assigning to
value declared and typed elsewhere. The language runtime has a similar
overhead since instead of just constructing a known type it needs to
check at runtime that the coercion from the expression list is valid;
this can be slower than just writing the readible code in the first
place, see #4559.
With this patch we use explicit construction, e.g.,
local x = X($x1=1, $x2=2);
With Cluster::Node$metrics_port being optional, there's not really
a need for the extra script. New rule, if a metrics_port is set, the
node will attempt to listen on it.
Users can still redef Telemetry::metrics_port *after*
base/frameworks/telemetry was loaded to change the port defined
in cluster-layout.zeek.
Adds base/frameworks/telemetry with wrappers around telemetry.bif
and updates telemetry/Manager to support collecting metrics from
script land.
Add policy/frameworks/telemetry/log for logging of metrics data
into a new telemetry.log and telemetry_histogram.log and add into
local.zeek by default.
