- Removed the gap_report event. It wasn't used anymore
and functionally no more capable that scheduling events
and using the get_gap_summary bif.
- Added functionality to Dictionaries to count cumulative
numbers of inserts performed. This is further used to
measure the total number of connections of various types.
Previously only the number of active connections was
available.
- The Reassembler base class now tracks active reassembly
size for all subclasses (File/TCP/Frag & unknown).
- Improvements to the stats.log. Mostly, more information.
I got rid of the earlier separate InterpreterPlugin class. Instead
Plugin now has a set of virtual methods HookSomething()... that
plugins can override. For efficiency purposes, they however need to
register first that they are interested in a hook, otherwise the
virtual method will never be called. The idea is to extend the set of
hooks over time as we figure out what's useful.
This is a checkpoint commit that's essentially untested and probably
broken. It compiles, though.
This is essentially the code from the dynamic-plugin branch except for
some pieces that I have split out into separate, earlier commits.
I'm going to updatre things in this branch going forward.
Replaced some with InternalWarning or InternalAnalyzerError, the later
being a new method which signals the analyzer to not process further
input. Some usages I just removed if they didn't make sense or clearly
couldn't happen. Also did some minor refactors of related code while
reviewing/exploring ways to get rid of InternalError usages.
Also, for TCP content file write failures there's a new event:
"contents_file_write_failure".
Thanks to git this merge was less troublesome that I was afraid it
would be. Not all tests pass yet though (and file hashes have changed
unfortunately).

And added an event called "event_queue_flush_point" to mark where that
occured in the event stream. The FAF now uses an explicit event queue
flush instead of buffering input in order to wait for a file handle to
be returned from script-layer.
- FileAnalysis::Info is now just a record used for logging, the fa_file
record type is defined in init-bare.bro as the analogue to a
connection record.
- Starting to transfer policy hook triggers and analyzer results to
events.
This is a larger internal change that moves the analyzer
infrastructure to a more flexible model where the available analyzers
don't need to be hardcoded at compile time anymore. While currently
they actually still are, this will in the future enable external
analyzer plugins. For now, it does already add the capability to
dynamically enable/disable analyzers from script-land, replacing the
old Analyzer::Available() methods.
There are three major parts going into this:
- A new plugin infrastructure in src/plugin. This is independent
of analyzers and will eventually support plugins for other parts
of Bro as well (think: readers and writers). The goal is that
plugins can be alternatively compiled in statically or loadead
dynamically at runtime from a shared library. While the latter
isn't there yet, there'll be almost no code change for a plugin
to make it dynamic later (hopefully :)
- New analyzer infrastructure in src/analyzer. I've moved a number
of analyzer-related classes here, including Analyzer and DPM;
the latter now renamed to Analyzer::Manager. More will move here
later. Currently, there's only one plugin here, which provides
*all* existing analyzers. We can modularize this further in the
future (or not).
- A new script interface in base/framework/analyzer. I think that
this will eventually replace the dpm framework, but for now
that's still there as well, though some parts have moved over.
I've also remove the dpd_config table; ports are now configured via
the analyzer framework. For exmaple, for SSH:
const ports = { 22/tcp } &redef;
event bro_init() &priority=5
{
...
Analyzer::register_for_ports(Analyzer::ANALYZER_SSH, ports);
}
As you can see, the old ANALYZER_SSH constants have more into an enum
in the Analyzer namespace.
This is all hardly tested right now, and not everything works yet.
There's also a lot more cleanup to do (moving more classes around;
removing no longer used functionality; documenting script and C++
interfaces; regression tests). But it seems to generally work with a
small trace at least.
The debug stream "dpm" shows more about the loaded/enabled analyzers.
A new option -N lists loaded plugins and what they provide (including
those compiled in statically; i.e., right now it outputs all the
analyzers).
This is all not cast-in-stone yet, for some things we need to see if
they make sense this way. Feedback welcome.
Versus from synchronous function calls, which doesn't work well because
the function call can see a script-layer state that doesn't reflect
the state as it will be in terms of the event/network stream.
The Logger class is now in charge of reporting all errors, warnings,
informational messages, weirds, and syslogs. All other components
route their messages through the global bro_logger singleton.
The Logger class comes with these reporting methods:
void Message(const char* fmt, ...);
void Warning(const char* fmt, ...);
void Error(const char* fmt, ...);
void FatalError(const char* fmt, ...); // Terminate Bro.
void Weird(const char* name);
[ .. some more Weird() variants ... ]
void Syslog(const char* fmt, ...);
void InternalWarning(const char* fmt, ...);
void InternalError(const char* fmt, ...); // Terminates Bro.
See Logger.h for more information on these.
Generally, the reporting now works as follows:
- All non-fatal message are reported in one of two ways:
(1) At startup (i.e., before we start processing packets),
they are logged to stderr.
(2) During processing, they turn into events:
event log_message%(msg: string, location: string%);
event log_warning%(msg: string, location: string%);
event log_error%(msg: string, location: string%);
The script level can then handle them as desired.
If we don't have an event handler, we fall back to
reporting on stderr.
- All fatal errors are logged to stderr and Bro terminates
immediately.
- Syslog(msg) directly syslogs, but doesn't do anything else.
The three main types of messages can also be generated on the
scripting layer via new Log::* bifs:
Log::error(msg: string);
Log::warning(msg: string);
Log::message(msg: string);
These pass through the bro_logger as well and thus are handled in the
same way. Their output includes location information.
More changes:
- Removed the alarm statement and the alarm_hook event.
- Adapted lots of locations to use the bro_logger, including some
of the messages that were previously either just written to
stdout, or even funneled through the alarm mechanism.
- No distinction anymore between Error() and RunTime(). There's
now only one class of errors; the line was quite blurred already
anyway.
- util.h: all the error()/warn()/message()/run_time()/pinpoint()
functions are gone. Use the bro_logger instead now.
- Script errors are formatted a bit differently due to the
changes. What I've seen so far looks ok to me, but let me know
if there's something odd.
Notes:
- The default handlers for the new log_* events are just dummy
implementations for now since we need to integrate all this into
the new scripts anyway.
- I'm not too happy with the names of the Logger class and its
instance bro_logger. We now have a LogMgr as well, which makes
this all a bit confusing. But I didn't have a good idea for
better names so I stuck with them for now.
Perhaps we should merge Logger and LogMgr?
Removing everything related to trace rewriting.
(I wasn't too careful in ensuring that I catch everything in the
scripts; Seth is working on those anyway.)
(Merging by cherry-picking the corresponding commit, as the branch was
accidentally made off of the logging stuff).
