> 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
