Functions

func New

func New(base mb.BaseMetricSet) (mb.MetricSet, error)

New constructs a new MetricSet.

Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	ResolveIDs   bool   `config:"kernel.resolve_ids"`         // Resolve UID/GIDs to names.
	FailureMode  string `config:"kernel.failure_mode"`        // Failure mode for the kernel (silent, log, panic).
	BacklogLimit uint32 `config:"kernel.backlog_limit"`       // Max number of message to buffer in the kernel.
	RateLimit    uint32 `config:"kernel.rate_limit"`          // Rate limit in messages/sec of messages from kernel.
	RawMessage   bool   `config:"kernel.include_raw_message"` // Include the list of raw audit messages in the event.
	Warnings     bool   `config:"kernel.include_warnings"`    // Include warnings in the event (for dev/debug purposes only).
	RulesBlob    string `config:"kernel.audit_rules"`         // Audit rules. One rule per line.
	SocketType   string `config:"kernel.socket_type"`         // Socket type to use with the kernel (unicast or multicast).

	// Tuning options (advanced, use with care)
	ReassemblerMaxInFlight uint32        `config:"kernel.reassembler.max_in_flight"`
	ReassemblerTimeout     time.Duration `config:"kernel.reassembler.timeout"`
	StreamBufferQueueSize  uint32        `config:"kernel.reassembler.queue_size"`
}

Config defines the kernel metricset's possible configuration options.

func (*Config) Validate

func (c *Config) Validate() error

Validate validates the rules specified in the config.

type MetricSet

type MetricSet struct {
	mb.BaseMetricSet
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

MetricSet listens for audit messages from the Linux kernel using a netlink socket. It buffers the messages to ensure ordering and then streams the output. MetricSet implements the mb.PushMetricSet interface, and therefore does not rely on polling.

func (*MetricSet) Run

func (ms *MetricSet) Run(reporter mb.PushReporter)

Run initializes the audit client and receives audit messages from the kernel until the reporter's done channel is closed.
