Bernhard Amann reassigned BIT-1181:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Bernhard Amann
> Input-framework errors should be fatal (or Notice_Alarm) instead of silent
> reporter::error failures
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BIT-1181
> URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1181
> Project: Bro Issue Tracker
> Issue Type: Problem
> Components: Bro
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Aashish Sharma
> Assignee: Bernhard Amann
> Labels: input-framework
>
> I noticed many times that if there is a problem in a feed file (syntax, or
> some other issue) and input-framework is unable to read the file, it
> generates a Reporter::Error. This is a silent failure condition ie bro
> continues to operate as normal and the error is logged into reporter log.
> Ideally above is the right thing to do. However, This failure results in no
> data in the tables getting updated any more while I continue to operate
> under-impression that Bro is working fine (unless I have explicitly been
> looking at reporter log for this issue , which now I do).
> If input-framework is unable to read/digest data from a feed, I believe that
> should be a (configurable) fatal error or something which at least triggers
> an alarm/alert/email.
