Daniel Thayer commented on BIT-1320: ------------------------------------ I just added another commit to this branch to address an issue reported on the bro mailing list involving PF_RING+DNA interface names. > topic/jazoff/broctld > -------------------- > > Key: BIT-1320 > URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1320 > Project: Bro Issue Tracker > Issue Type: Problem > Components: BroControl > Reporter: Daniel Thayer > Fix For: 2.4 > > > Branch topic/jazoff/broctld in the broctl repo contains significant code > reorganization > for the upcoming broctld. Here is a high-level list of changes: > 1) Refactor broctl to make it usable as a library (reduce global state, > module-level setup code, and functions return results instead of printing), > 2) Integrate ssh_runner code into broctl to fix current problems (use only > one connection per host instead of one per Bro node, broctl shouldn't hang > when a host goes down or if we forgot to run "broctl install"), > 3) Write state info using SQLite state storage instead of writing to a plain > text file (broctl.dat), > 4) When the node config changes, we now do additional checks if there are > any Bro nodes running that are no longer in our node config and warn user if > any are detected, > 5) Keep track of the expected state (running or stopped) of each Bro node, > and have broctl cron start or stop nodes as needed, > 6) Improved broctl cron by adding two new options (MailHostUpDown and > StatsLogEnable) to enable users the option to turn off unwanted functionality > to speed up broctl cron and reduce the chance of errors, > 7) When broctl cron tries to send email but fails, now it will output a > message that includes the text it was trying to mail, > 8) Silence warning messages (that are intended for interactive use of broctl) > when broctl cron runs to reduce unwanted emails from cron, > 9) Added new broctl option StatusCmdShowAll to enable users to speed up > "broctl status" significantly, > 10) Fixed the stats-to-csv script to not create files that can never include > any data, > 11) Fixed archive-log script to detect exit status of gzip or cp command, so > that we don't delete log file when the archival fails, > 12) Improved post-terminate script to process log files more consistently, > 13) Made all broctl command output go to stdout (previously, some output > would go to stderr, which made grepping or redirecting the output more > difficult), > 14) Improved the default broctl.cfg file to show more of the useful options, > 15) Added more error checks to help catch errors earlier, > 16) Some error message output is more specific and helpful now > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4-OD-15-055#64014) _______________________________________________ bro-dev mailing list bro-dev@bro.org http://mailman.icsi.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/bro-dev
