The point of logging to the Windows Event Log was to catch errors that happen
before the full logging configuration has been loaded and enabled. Messages
like the number of loaded objects per type just cause noise in the log and
provide little benefit. Therefore raise the required log level at this stage.
Note that this commit removes the (never documented) ability to use the -x flag
to change the level. But doing so would require patching the command line of
the service in the registry anyways.
Apparently there was a reason for making the members of generated classes
atomic. However, this was only done for some types, others were still accessed
using non-atomic operations. For members of type T::Ptr (i.e. intrusive_ptr<T>),
this can result in a double free when multiple threads access the same variable
and at least one of them writes to the variable.
This commit makes use of std::atomic<T> for more T (it removes the additional
constraint sizeof(T) <= sizeof(void*)) and uses a type including a mutex for
load and store operations as a fallback.
add_definitions would set SD_JOURNAL_SUPPRESS_LOCATION for all targets
in directory and sub-directories. However, another future target might
want the opposite, so define it as local as possible to journaldlogger.cpp.
To make this work, we must take journaldlogger.cpp out of the unity
build, because all files from a unity of share compiler definitions.
As proposed in #8857, this adds a Logger subclass that writes structured
log messages via journald's native protocol by calling sd_journal_sendv.
The feature therefore depends on the systemd library. sd_journal_sendv is
available since the early days (systemd v38), so a version check is
probably superflous.
We add the following fields to each record:
- MESSAGE: The log message
- PRIORITY (aka severity): Numeric severity as in RFC5424 section 6.2.1
- SYSLOG_FACILITY: Numeric facility as in RFC5424 section 6.2.1
- SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER: If provided, use value from configuration.
Else use systemd's default behaior, which is to determine the field
by using libc's program_invocation_short_name, resulting in "icinga2".
- ICINGA2_FACILITY: Facility as in Log::Log(..., String facility, ...),
e.g. "ApiListener"
- some more fields are added automatically by systemd
Fields are stored indexed, so we can do fast queries for certain field
values. Example:
$ journalctl -t icinga2 ICINGA2_FACILITY=ApiListener -n 5
Syslog compatiblity is ratained because good old tag, severity and facility
is stored along, and systemd can forward to syslog daemons.
See also https://systemd.io/JOURNAL_NATIVE_PROTOCOL/.
The upcoming JournaldLogger will need the same syslog validation and
conversion logic, so factor it out from SyslogLogger to make it
reusable.
Also explicitely include syslog.h, which defines the syslog()
function.
As Icinga first sends a SIGTERM to a check plugin on timeout to allow it to
terminate gracefully, this is not really part of the plugin API specification
and we cannot assume that plugins will handle this correctly and still exit
with an exit code that maps to UNKNOWN. Therefore, once Icinga decides to kill
a process, force its exit code to 128 to be sure the state will be UNKNOWN
after a timeout.
So far, the documentation has claimed that loggers have a default severity
(information for FileLogger and warning for SyslogLogger). However, this was
not the case and not setting the severity resulted in a configuration error.
This commit changes the default value to be information for all loggers.
When Icinga 2 is started as a service, the early log messages generated
until the FileLogger object is activated are lost and make it really
hard to debug issues that (only) occur when Icinga 2 reloads.
With this commit, these early log messages are written to the Windows
Event Log.
Even if a double represents an integer value, it might not be safe to cast it
to long long as it may overflow the type. Instead just use print the double
value with 0 decimals using std::setprecision.
