With two independent checks now writing to the same log, messages like
"system uptime only N seconds does not meet 1800 second requirement" were
ambiguous about which check they came from. Prefix every line with a
[minion-restart-check] or [boot-highstate-check] tag and reword the uptime,
threshold, and healthy messages to say what was evaluated and why it was
skipped.
Restructure the boot-highstate check from a nested if into an if/elif chain so
each outcome (restart already queued, uptime too low, healthy, already running,
forcing) logs its own reason instead of silently doing nothing.
Add a second, independent trigger to the every-5-minute health check: if the
host has been up >= 15 minutes (HIGHSTATE_UPTIME_REQ) and no highstate has
completed since this boot (lasthighstate mtime older than boot time), run
salt-call state.highstate. This recovers a host whose boot highstate
(so-boot-highstate.service) failed or was skipped, even while the minion is
otherwise healthy and touching state-apply-test.
The new path deliberately does not enable highstate, so a soup-disabled
highstate is respected and never forced mid-upgrade. A saltutil.running guard
plus queue=True prevents stacking across successive cron runs, and a RESTARTED
flag suppresses the new block when the existing minion-restart path already
queued a highstate.
When the minion is deemed hung and restarted, wait for it to become
ready via so-salt-minion-wait, then kick off salt-call state.highstate
(queued, backgrounded) so the box re-applies its states and recovers on
its own rather than waiting for the next scheduled highstate.
highstate_interval_hours describes the per-minion highstate schedule, not the
active-push pipeline, so relocate it from salt.auto_apply to a new salt.schedule
settings subtree. Repoint so-salt-minion-check at the new pillar path (it had
been left on the stale global:push path) so its restart grace period tracks the
schedule again.
- Add salt.schedule.highstate_interval_hours to defaults.yaml/soc_salt.yaml and a
side-effect-free salt/salt/schedule.map.jinja (SCHEDULEMERGED), matching the
*MERGED map convention. Consumers read SCHEDULEMERGED.highstate_interval_hours.
- Split salt/schedule.sls into salt/salt/highstate_schedule.sls (every minion) and
salt/salt/push_drain_schedule.sls (managers); update top.sls to apply the
highstate schedule via '*' and the drainer schedule via the configured-manager
block. Remove the now-empty schedule.sls aggregator.
- pillar_push_map.yaml and so-push-drainer: comment/doc updates only.
Installing kernel-uek-core adds a UEK8 (6.x) boot entry but doesn't make
it the default, because grubby only auto-promotes within the running
kernel's flavor lineage and we cross from a 5.x kernel to the new UEK8
flavor. so-kernel-upgrade finds the newest installed 6.x UEK kernel and
grubby --set-default's it (idempotent, verifies the change, no reboot).
Add so-nic-pin, which writes by-MAC persistent-net udev rules pinning each
physical NIC to its current name so a kernel upgrade can't renumber the
interfaces Security Onion binds by name (host:mainint, sensor:mainint, bond0).
Gated by the drop file /opt/so/state/nic_names_pinned: run-once on highstate,
and an admin can pre-create the marker to opt out. Wired into common/init.sls
as pin_nic_names, guarded by a matching unless.
The digest-pull logic was added to make `docker push` work for multi-arch
upstream tags. Now that the push step is `docker buildx imagetools create`
pinned to the gpg-verified RepoDigest, the registry-to-registry copy
handles single- and multi-arch sources without help. Reverts the pull
back to the original line and removes the unused PLATFORM_OS/_ARCH
detection.
Replaces `docker push` with a registry-to-registry copy. On Docker 29.x
with the containerd image store, `docker push` of a freshly-pulled image
hits a path that wraps single-platform manifests in a synthetic index
and then can't push the layers it claims to reference, producing
`NotFound: content digest ...` even when the image is fully present.
Keep the local `docker tag` so so-image-pull's `docker images | grep :5000`
existence check continues to work.
docker pull of a multi-arch tag on Docker 29.x leaves the local tag
pointing at the image index rather than the platform-specific manifest.
The subsequent docker push then tries to push every sub-manifest the
index references and fails on layers we never fetched.
Resolve the local-platform manifest digest from the upstream index via
docker buildx imagetools inspect, pull by that digest, and re-tag locally
to the canonical tag. The signing flow and the existing tag/push to the
embedded registry are unchanged.
- Telegraf's partman template passed p_type:='native', which pg_partman
5.x (the version shipped by postgresql-17-partman on Debian) rejects.
Switched to 'range' so partman.create_parent() actually creates
partitions and Telegraf's INSERTs succeed.
- Added a postgres_wait_ready gate in telegraf_users.sls so psql execs
don't race the init-time restart that docker-entrypoint.sh performs.
- so-verify now ignores the literal "-v ON_ERROR_STOP=1" token in the
setup log. Dropped the matching entry from so-log-check, which scans
container stdout where that token never appears.
The psql invocation flag '-v ON_ERROR_STOP=1' used by the so-postgres
init script gets flagged by so-log-check because the token 'ERROR'
matches its error regex. Add to the exclusion list.
- 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.
