Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	// Export selects the flows' exporter protocol. Accepted values are: grpc (default) or kafka
	// or ipfix+udp or ipfix+tcp.
	Export string `env:"EXPORT" envDefault:"grpc"`
	// TargetHost is the host name or IP of the target Flow collector, when the EXPORT variable is
	// set to "grpc"
	TargetHost string `env:"FLOWS_TARGET_HOST"`
	// TargetPort is the port the target Flow collector, when the EXPORT variable is set to "grpc"
	TargetPort int `env:"FLOWS_TARGET_PORT"`
	// Interfaces contains the interface names from where flows will be collected. If empty, the agent
	// will fetch all the interfaces in the system, excepting the ones listed in ExcludeInterfaces.
	// If an entry is enclosed by slashes (e.g. `/br-/`), it will match as regular expression,
	// otherwise it will be matched as a case-sensitive string.
	Interfaces []string `env:"INTERFACES" envSeparator:","`
	// ExcludeInterfaces contains the interface names that will be excluded from flow tracing. Default:
	// "lo" (loopback).
	// If an entry is enclosed by slashes (e.g. `/br-/`), it will match as regular expression,
	// otherwise it will be matched as a case-sensitive string.
	ExcludeInterfaces []string `env:"EXCLUDE_INTERFACES" envSeparator:"," envDefault:"lo"`
	// BuffersLength establishes the length of communication channels between the different processing
	// stages
	BuffersLength int `env:"BUFFERS_LENGTH" envDefault:"50"`
	// ExporterBufferLength establishes the length of the buffer of flow batches (not individual flows)
	// that can be accumulated before the Kafka or GRPC exporter. When this buffer is full (e.g.
	// because the Kafka or GRPC endpoint is slow), incoming flow batches will be dropped. If unset,
	// its value is the same as the BUFFERS_LENGTH property.
	ExporterBufferLength int `env:"EXPORTER_BUFFER_LENGTH"`
	// CacheMaxFlows specifies how many flows can be accumulated in the accounting cache before
	// being flushed for its later export
	CacheMaxFlows int `env:"CACHE_MAX_FLOWS" envDefault:"5000"`
	// CacheActiveTimeout specifies the maximum duration that flows are kept in the accounting
	// cache before being flushed for its later export
	CacheActiveTimeout time.Duration `env:"CACHE_ACTIVE_TIMEOUT" envDefault:"5s"`
	// Deduper specifies the deduper type. Accepted values are "none" (disabled) and "firstCome".

	// both the physical and a virtual interface).
	// "firstCome" will forward only flows from the first interface the flows are received from.
	Deduper string `env:"DEDUPER" envDefault:"none"`
	// DeduperFCExpiry specifies the expiry duration of the flows "firstCome" deduplicator. After
	// a flow hasn't been received for that expiry time, the deduplicator forgets it. That means
	// that a flow from a connection that has been inactive during that period could be forwarded
	// again from a different interface.

	// E.g. if set to 100, one out of 100 packets, on average, will be sent to the target collector.
	Sampling int `env:"SAMPLING" envDefault:"0"`
	// ListenInterfaces specifies the mechanism used by the agent to listen for added or removed
	// network interfaces. Accepted values are "watch" (default) or "poll".
	// If the value is "watch", interfaces are traced immediately after they are created. This is
	// the recommended setting for most configurations. "poll" value is a fallback mechanism that
	// periodically queries the current network interfaces (frequency specified by ListenPollPeriod).
	ListenInterfaces string `env:"LISTEN_INTERFACES" envDefault:"watch"`
	// ListenPollPeriod specifies the periodicity to query the network interfaces when the
	// ListenInterfaces value is set to "poll".

	// KafkaTopic is the name of the topic where the flows' processor will receive the flows from.
	KafkaTopic string `env:"KAFKA_TOPIC" envDefault:"network-flows"`
	// KafkaBatchMessages sets the limit on how many messages will be buffered before being sent to a
	// partition.
	KafkaBatchMessages int `env:"KAFKA_BATCH_MESSAGES" envDefault:"1000"`

	KafkaAsync bool `env:"KAFKA_ASYNC" envDefault:"true"`
	// KafkaCompression sets the compression codec to be used to compress messages. The accepted
	// values are: none (default), gzip, snappy, lz4, zstd.
	KafkaCompression string `env:"KAFKA_COMPRESSION" envDefault:"none"`
	// KafkaEnableTLS set true to enable TLS
	KafkaEnableTLS bool `env:"KAFKA_ENABLE_TLS" envDefault:"false"`

type Flows

Flows reporting agent

func FlowsAgent

func FlowsAgent(cfg *Config) (*Flows, error)

FlowsAgent instantiates a new agent, given a configuration.

func (*Flows) Run

func (f *Flows) Run(ctx context.Context) error

Run a Flows agent. The function will keep running in the same thread until the passed context is canceled

func (*Flows) Status

func (f *Flows) Status() Status

type Status

type Status int

Status of the agent service. Helps on the health report as well as making some asynchronous tests waiting for the agent to accept flows.
