- schedule highstate every 2 hours (was 15 minutes); interval lives in
global:push:highstate_interval_hours so the SOC admin UI can tune it and
so-salt-minion-check derives its threshold as (interval + 1) * 3600
- add inotify beacon on the manager + master reactor + orch.push_batch that
writes per-app intent files, with a so-push-drainer schedule on the manager
that debounces, dedupes, and dispatches a single orchestration
- pillar_push_map.yaml allowlists the apps whose pillar changes trigger an
immediate targeted state.apply (targets verified against salt/top.sls);
edits under pillar/minions/ trigger a state.highstate on that one minion
- host-batch every push orchestration (batch: 25%, batch_wait: 15) so rule
changes don't thundering-herd large fleets
- new global:push:enabled kill-switch tears down the beacon, reactor config,
and drainer schedule on the next highstate for operators who want to keep
highstate-only behavior
- set restart_policy: unless-stopped on 23 container states so docker
recovers crashes without waiting for the next highstate; leave registry
(always), strelka/backend (on-failure), kratos, and hydra alone with
inline comments explaining why
Simplifies salt states, map files, and modules to only support
Oracle Linux 9, removing all Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS/Rocky/AlmaLinux/RHEL
conditional branches.
Security Onion now exclusively supports Oracle Linux 9. This removes
detection, setup, and update logic for Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Rocky,
AlmaLinux, and RHEL.
Consolidate version checks to use regex patterns for 2.4.21X and 3.x
versions. Add migrate_pcap_to_suricata to move pcap.enabled to
suricata.pcap.enabled in minion and pcap pillar files during upgrade.
Instead of exiting and requiring the user to rerun the script after
changing pcapengine to SURICATA, let the script continue to the
version check and upgrade.
- Warn users that undeleted Stenographer PCAP data will be inaccessible
and never automatically cleaned up if they switch to SURICATA without
deleting it first
- Require pcapengine to be set to SURICATA before allowing upgrade,
with clear messaging when the user declines to change it
- Skip upgrade if already running Security Onion 3.x.x
- Add interactive prompts to delete Stenographer PCAP data (with double confirmation) and change pcapengine to SURICATA
- Direct users to SOC Configuration UI instead of editing pillar files directly
- Consolidate TRANSITION and STENO cases to reduce repeated code
