Robin Sommer eef8b7d1c4 Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/origin/topic/seth/elasticsearch' into topic/robin/master-test
I've only tested that it compiles, not whether it still works. The
fact that we don't have any tests for this makes me uneasy ...

* remotes/origin/topic/seth/elasticsearch: (35 commits)
  Some documentation updates for elasticsearch plugin.
  Temporarily removing the ES timeout because it works with signals and is incompatible with Bro threads.
  Changed ES index names to localtime and added a meta index.
  New script for easily duplicating logs to ElasticSearch.
  Some better elasticsearch reliability.
  Fixed small elasticsearch problem in configure output.
  Re-adding the needed call to FinishedRotation in the ES writer plugin.
  Tiny updates.
  Bringing elasticsearch branch up to date with master.
  Adding a define to make the stdint C macros available.
  Adding an extra header.
  Fixed a bug with messed up time value passing to elasticsearch.
  Small updates and a little standardization for config.h.in naming.
  Bug fixes.
  Bug fix and feature.
  Forgot to call the parent method for DoHeartBeat.
  Changed the escaping method.
  Flush logs to ES daemon as Bro is shutting down.
  Reduce the batch size to 1000 and add a maximum time interval for batches.
  Reworked bulk operation string construction to use ODesc and added json escaping.

README Add missing doc targets to top Makefile; remove old doc/Makefile. (fixes #705) 2011-12-01 09:16:38 -06:00

This directory contains scripts and templates that can be used to automate
the generation of Bro script documentation.  Several build targets are defined
by CMake and available in the top-level Makefile:

``restdoc``

    This target uses Bro to parse policy scripts in order to generate
    reStructuredText (reST) documentation from them.  The list of scripts
    for which to generate reST documentation is defined in the
    ``CMakeLists.txt`` file in this directory.  Script documentation is
    rebuild automatically if the policy script from which it is derived
    or the Bro binary becomes out of date

    The resulting output from this target can be found in the CMake
    ``build/`` directory inside ``reST`` (a symlink to
    ``doc/scripts/rest_output``).

``restclean``

    This target removes any reST documentation that has been generated so far.

The ``genDocSourcesList.sh`` script can be run to automatically generate
``DocSourcesList.cmake``, which is the file CMake uses to define the list
of documentation targets.  This script should be run after adding new
Bro script source files, and the changes commited to git.

If a script shouldn't have documentation generated for it, there's also a
blacklist manifest that can be maintained in the ``genDocSourcesList.sh``
script.

The blacklist can also be used if you want to define a certain grouping for
the script's generated docs to belong to (as opposed to the automatic grouping
the happens for script packages/directories).  To do that, add the
script's name to the blacklist, then append a ``rest_target()`` to the
``statictext`` variable where the first argument is the source directory
containing the policy script to document, the second argument is the file
name of the policy script, and the third argument is the path/name of a
pre-created reST document in the ``../`` source directory to which the
``make doc`` process can append script documentation references.  This
pre-created reST document should also then be linked to from the TOC tree
in ``../index.rst``.

See ``example.bro`` for an example of how to document a Bro script such that
``make doc`` will be able to produce reST/HTML documentation for it.
