The active-push feature detected pillar/settings changes via an inotify beacon on the manager watching /opt/so/saltstack/local/pillar. Replace that pillar watch with a custom salt beacon (pillar_db) that polls the SOC so_soc.audit_settings table on a monotonic id watermark, so changes made through SOC drive immediate pushes from the database instead of the files. The suricata/strelka rule inotify watches (and pyinotify) are kept unchanged, since rule-file edits are not recorded in audit_settings. - salt/_beacons/pillar_db.py: new beacon. Polls audit_settings via `docker exec so-postgres psql` (unix-socket trust auth), tracks the last processed id in /opt/so/state/pillar_db_watch.id, seeds to MAX(id) on first run (no history replay), and emits one event per new row. - salt/reactor/push_pillar.sls: consume setting_id/node_id from the beacon event instead of a file path. App = first dotted segment of setting_id, looked up in pillar_push_map.yaml. Empty node_id -> grid-wide actions as is; populated node_id -> the app's state(s) retargeted to that one node. - salt/manager/files/beacons_pushstate.conf.jinja: drop the pillar inotify block, add the pillar_db beacon (interval = push.drain_interval); keep the suricata/strelka inotify watches. - salt/salt/files/reactor_pushstate.conf: map salt/beacon/*/pillar_db/ audit_settings to push_pillar.sls; remove the pillar inotify reactor lines; keep suricata/strelka. The intent -> so-push-drainer -> orch.push_batch pipeline is unchanged. Verified end-to-end on a standalone: a grid-wide telegraf.output change re-applied telegraf fleetwide (container replaced), and a per-host ntp.config.servers change applied ntp to only that node.
