* origin/topic/bernhard/metrics-bug:
add comment for seth to make us not forget about the copy statements
fix the fix (thanks seth)
duct-tape fix of values not propagating after intermediate check in cluster environments.
Fixing coverage.bare-mode-errors test.
- 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.
- New, expanded API.
- Calculations moved into plugins.
- Scripts using measurement framework ported.
- Updated the script-land queue implementation to make it more generic.
-
- Add a timeout flag to file_analysis.log so it's easy to tell what
has had at least one timeout trigger happen.
- Fix ftp-data service tag not being set for reused connections.
- Fix HTTP::Incorrect_File_Type because mime types returned by FAF have
the charset still in them, but the HTTP::mime_types_extensions table
does not and it requires an exact string match. (still ugly)
- Add TRIGGER_NEW_CONN to track files going over multiple connections.
- Add an initial file/mime type guess for non-linear file transfers.
- Fix a case where file/mime type detection would never be attempted
if the start of the file was a content gap.
- Improve mime type tracking of HTTP byte-range/partial-content,
even if the requests are pipelined or over multiple connections.
- I changed the modbus.events test because having the baseline output
be 80+ MB is nuts and it was sensitive to connection record redefs.
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.
Other misc:
- Remove HTTP::MD5 notice.
- Add "last_active" field to FileAnalysis::Info record.
- Replace "conn_uids", "conn_ids" fields in FileAnalysis::Info record
with just a "conns" fields containing full connection records.
- The http-methods unit test is failing now, but I think it will be
fixed once I change the file handle callback mechanism to use events
instead.
The framework now cycles through callbacks based on a table indexed
by analyzer tags, or the special case of service strings if a given
analyzer is overloaded for multiple protocols (FTP/IRC data). This
lets each protocol script bundle implement the callback locally and
reduces the FAF's external dependencies.
For files that go over a single connection, add connection start time
to handle, so the file id will always differ even if the same connection
parameters are later used to transfer a file (same one or different).
So much nicer!
Closes#954.
