This usually requires specifying an additional zone identifier
(see RFC 4007). The connect() and listen() BIFs have been
changed to accept this zone identifier as an argument.
- Communication::listen_ipv6 needs to be redef'd to true in order
for IPv6 listening sockets to be opened.
- Added Communication::listen_retry option as an interval at which
to retry binding to socket addresses that were already in use.
- Added some explicit baselines to check in the istate.events
and istate.events-ssl tests -- the SSL test was incorrectly
passing because it compared two empty files. (The files being
empty because "http/base" was given as an argument to Bro which
it couldn't handle because that script doesn't exist anymore).
- Simplified the communication API and made it easier to change
to encrypted connections by not having separate variables to
define encrypted and unencrypted ports.
- Now, to enable listening without configuring nodes just
load the frameworks/communication/listen script.
- If encrypted listening is desired set the following:
redef Communication::listen_encrypted=T;
- Accompanying test updates.
- fixing some Metrics::add_data() call signatures
- slight refactors to cluster framework @if and adding a NONE NodeType for
so local_node_type() will return that instead of just emitting an error
when cluster mode isn't enabled
- `make restdoc` target now uses bro's bare-mode
- bro scripts generated from bifs now really only live in the build/src/base/
directory and changed the DocSourcesList.cmake to dynamically figure out
what bifs exist by looking in src/ instead of build/src/
- add some missing @load dependencies
- Metrics now work on cluster deployments with no caveats. It should be
completely transparent. Intermediate updates to speed some detection
will come later.
- Metrics API is much more similar to the Logging framework's API now.
- Filters define all output and metrics collection now.
- Initial attempt at thresholding and generating notices.
- Fixing the parts of the `make restdoc` and `make doc` process that were
broken by the last Bro script re-organization
- Generated documentation for Bro scripts derived from BiFs now use the
original BiF source file as the "original source file" link
- Renaming of the internal POLICYDEST definition and other misc places that
refer to "policy" scripts; that terminology doesn't make total sense now
- Added a documentation blacklist reminder test that will fail if there's
scripts that are blacklisted from being documentated because they're still
in progress
- Some minor Bro script changes to fix small @load dependency errors
Addresses #543
The communication subsystem is now disabled until a new BiF,
enable_communication(), is called. The base scripts do this
automatically when either a Communication::Node is defined, or Bro is
asked to listen for incoming connections.
- policy/ renamed to scripts/
- By default BROPATH now contains:
- scripts/
- scripts/policy
- scripts/site
- *Nearly* all tests pass.
- All of scripts/base/ is loaded by main.cc
- Can be disabled by setting $BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS
- Scripts in scripts/base/ don't use relative path loading to ease use of BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS (to copy and paste that script).
- The scripts in scripts/base/protocols/ only (or soon will only) do logging and state building.
- The scripts in scripts/base/frameworks/ add functionality without causing any additional overhead.
- All "detection" activity happens through scripts in scripts/policy/.
- Communications framework modified temporarily to need an environment variable to actually enable (ENABLE_COMMUNICATION=1)
- This is so the communications framework can be loaded as part
of the base without causing trouble when it's not needed.
- This will be removed once a resolution to ticket #540 is reached.
