This reverts commit 76ddc75fb8, reversing
changes made to 3ade2933eb.
We are rolling this back for now because it's causing a bug where sub-topologies
would have ~3000 repeated cases of the k8s filters, causing performance issues clientside.
To facilitate this, we replace the existing functionality of updateFilters which
sets k8s topologies to have the filters [namespace, managed], to instead append the namespace filter
to any existing. This lets it apply to both k8s and container topologies without overwriting existing
container filters. We instead set the managed filter in the static definition.
This however has the side effect that the ordering of the namespace filter and the managed filter
in k8s topologies has been reversed, so it reads:
Show Unmanaged | Hide Unmanaged
foo | bar | default | baz | All Namespaces
instead of:
foo | bar | default | baz | All Namespaces
Show Unmanaged | Hide Unmanaged
Based on work from Lorenzo, updated by Iago, Alban, Alessandro and
Michael.
This PR adds connection tracking using eBPF. This feature is not enabled by default.
For now, you can enable it by launching scope with the following command:
```
sudo ./scope launch --probe.ebpf.connections=true
```
This patch allows scope to get notified of every connection event,
without relying on the parsing of /proc/$pid/net/tcp{,6} and
/proc/$pid/fd/*, and therefore improve performance.
We vendor https://github.com/iovisor/gobpf in Scope to load the
pre-compiled ebpf program and https://github.com/weaveworks/tcptracer-bpf
to guess the offsets of the structures we need in the kernel. In this
way we don't need a different pre-compiled ebpf object file per kernel.
The pre-compiled ebpf program is included in the vendoring of
tcptracer-bpf.
The ebpf program uses kprobes/kretprobes on the following kernel functions:
- tcp_v4_connect
- tcp_v6_connect
- tcp_set_state
- inet_csk_accept
- tcp_close
It generates "connect", "accept" and "close" events containing the
connection tuple but also pid and netns.
Note: the IPv6 events are not supported in Scope and thus not passed on.
probe/endpoint/ebpf.go maintains the list of connections. Similarly to
conntrack, it also keeps the dead connections for one iteration in order
to report short-lived connections.
The code for parsing /proc/$pid/net/tcp{,6} and /proc/$pid/fd/* is still
there and still used at start-up because eBPF only brings us the events
and not the initial state. However, the /proc parsing for the initial
state is now done in foreground instead of background, via
newForegroundReader().
NAT resolution on connections from eBPF works in the same way as it did
on connections from /proc: by using conntrack. One of the two conntrack
instances is only started to get the initial state and then it is
stopped since eBPF detects short-lived connections.
The Scope Docker image size comparison:
- weaveworks/scope in current master: 22 MB (compressed), 68 MB
(uncompressed)
- weaveworks/scope with this patchset: 23 MB (compressed), 69 MB
(uncompressed)
Fixes#1168 (walking /proc to obtain connections is very expensive)
Fixes#1260 (Short-lived connections not tracked for containers in
shared networking namespaces)
Fixes#1962 (Port ebpf tracker to Go)
Fixes#1961 (Remove runtime kernel header dependency from ebpf tracker)
This is important for two reasons:
* It prevents nasty false-equality bugs when two different services from different ECS clusters
are present in the same report
* It allows us to retrieve the cluster and service name - all the info we need to look up the service -
using only the node ID. This matters, for example, when trying to handle a control request.
gofmt load_container_filters.go
removed the environment variable for container label filters
Added the --app.container-label-filter command line argument, and load_container_filters.go now uses the results from that
Changed init() to InitializeTopologies()
Changed init() to InitializeTopologies() so that it can be called after the container filters are loaded from the command line argument. init() executes before main() in prog/main.go, so the flag parsing isn't finished before init() is called
Applied lint fixes
fixed lint issues
brought back the init function for api_topologies.go
Addressed many of the PR comments, except escaping colons
Renamed IsDesired to HasLabel in render/filters.go
Allows for the user to escape colons
added registry function for modifying the container filters
created a separate function that parses the container filter flags
simplified registry.addContainerFilters()
addressed review comments
switched API Topology Description IDs to constants
addressed review comments
joined constants
added test functions
addressed most of the review comments
Changed containerLabelFilters to an array of APItopologyOptions, placing the parsing in the Set() function. Removed parsing from HasLabel in render/filters.go
refactored code
added test that applies to the container filtering by labels
applied golint
made Registry items private and added a MakeRegistry() function
fixed usage of topologyRegistry.RendererForTopology
Added container label filters by exclusion
minor update to report_fixture
Modified container labels test to use existing report
I added labels to the existing containers in the fixed report for testing.

Addressed final review comments
- Rename DataType -> Datatype for consisitency
- Remove Datatype from connection.metadata
- Change UI to read dataType from connection.columns rather than from
connection.metadata (col header rather than "cell")
