This adds a "policy" hook into the logging framework's streams and
filters to replace the existing log filter predicates. The hook
signature is as follows:
hook(rec: any, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter);
The logging manager invokes hooks on each log record. Hooks can veto
log records via a break, and modify them if necessary. Log filters
inherit the stream-level hook, but can override or remove the hook as
needed.
The distribution's existing log streams now come with pre-defined
hooks that users can add handlers to. Their name is standardized as
"log_policy" by convention, with additional suffixes when a module
provides multiple streams. The following adds a handler to the Conn
module's default log policy hook:
hook Conn::log_policy(rec: Conn::Info, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter)
{
if ( some_veto_reason(rec) )
break;
}
By default, this handler will get invoked for any log filter
associated with the Conn::LOG stream.
The existing predicates are deprecated for removal in 4.1 but continue
to work.
These may be redefined to customize log rotation path prefixes,
including use of a directory. File extensions are still up to
individual log writers to add themselves during the actual rotation.
These new also allow for some simplication to the default
ASCII postprocessor function: it eliminates the need for it doing an
extra/awkward rename() operation that only changes the timestamp format.
This also teaches the supervisor framework to use these new options
to rotate ascii logs into a log-queue/ directory with a specific
file name format (intended for an external archiver process to
monitor separately).
Adjustments during merge:
- kept the UNKNOWN Log::ID as placeholder value
- changed the coverage.find-bro-logs test to check for arbitrary $path
field values instead of just string literals
- don't force EnumVal to unsigned integer since the relevant union member
is the signed integer and added the relevant enum values/types to
.bif files for easier access
- compare FILE* versus file name to check for stdout equality (don't
think it matters much, just a bit more efficient)
- minor whitespace/style tweaks
* origin/topic/dev/print-to-log:
Added a non boolean configuration and other changes as suggested by Jon
Allow Print Statements to be redirected to a Log# This is a combination of 3 commits.
* All "Broxygen" usages have been replaced in
code, documentation, filenames, etc.
* Sphinx roles/directives like ":bro:see" are now ":zeek:see"
* The "--broxygen" command-line option is now "--zeexygen"
