[Ingest Manager] Shared Fleet agent policy action #76013

nchaulet · 2020-08-26T18:14:40Z

Summary

Currently during a config change (or during the first checkin) we create one saved object for each agent, this PR introduce a new concept of PolicyAction that can be shared between agents.

Done in this PR

introduce AgentPolicyAction an action that is shared between all agent assigned to a policy
add some cache to fetch action in the acknowledge handler
introduce ack_data to avoid fetching the whole config in the acknowledge handler.

Details

We now have two kind of action:
AgentAction that target individual agent
AgentPolicyAction that target all the agent assigned to a policy (support only the CONFIG_CHANGE action for now)

Also I introduce ack_data that are data useful to acknowledge an action, this allow to avoid decrypting the whole config every-time an agent acknowledge an action.

This PR introduce a lot of new types, let me know if you have better naming suggestions.
Also I did some cleaning by removing the action type we do not support.

Performance impact

While enrolling 200 agents, than performing a checkin and a ack you can notice the first checkin checkin_first_time_duration is a lot faster

Before

ack_duration..................: avg=2.11s    min=2.05s med=2.09s max=2.28s  p(90)=2.23s  p(95)=2.28s 
checkin_first_time_duration...: avg=2.24s    min=2.06s med=2.09s max=3.09s  p(90)=3.06s  p(95)=3.09s

After

ack_duration..................: avg=2.02s   min=2.01s med=2.02s max=2.04s  p(90)=1.04s p(95)=2.04s
checkin_first_time_duration...: avg=1.14s    min=1.01s    med=1.04s max=2.14s  p(90)=1.17s p(95)=2.12s

@EricDavisX This one introduce a lot of change and it's probably good candidate for some manual QA :)

@rahulgupta-qasource - can you pull Nicolas' fork/branch above and run Kibana in source with latest 8.0 / master ES and Agent SNAPSHOT builds and run some tests please?

Nicolas and I discussed changes and want to target the tests as such:

Set up 2 persistent Windows, and 1 persistent Linux Agent & Endpoint and see them call in to the default config.

Then create a new config and change them all to that, without Endpoint.
Then create 3 new configs and change them each to a new one, with Endpoint as fast as you can in the UI (use 2 browsers or enlist a friend to login to Kibana to help!)
Then re-start all the hosts at the same time and see them all come back on line.
Then unenroll all 3 and see them go off-line
then re-enroll them all again to different Agent policies.

Note that viewing the Agent in Fleet and seeing it on-line and config changes is enough validation, it doesn't require a deep validation for now.

Then we can do some interesting tests, to try harder to break it:

config-changes when the agent is unreachable / off-line (do you have a set way to easily simulate that?). It should pick up the change when its comes on line
test when multiple config changes come in near the same time (maybe 2 different Admins make changes to the same policy, which is a bad idea, but it can mimic real world potential.
any other creative nuance you can think of, anything based on our test suites and how config changes are validated.

Let us know how it goes, thank you in advance.

Hi @EricDavisX

Thank you for the update.

Could you please share the environment w.r.t above Nicolas fork/branch to validate this ticket.

Moreover, Error 'Unable to initialize Ingest Manager: Bad Request' is displayed on clicking 'Ingest Manager' link on 8.0.0-SNAPSHOT Kibana. We have reported bug #77133 for the same.

Please let us know if anything is missing from our end.

I'll discuss testing with Rahul offline and we'll confirm back.

is it possible to overload createAgentAction or have it accept different types instead of having to create the new functions createAgentPolicyAction and createAction?

Nice overview in the description and the code is clear. I left some comments and questions but nothing to prevent a 🚀

I'll discuss testing with Rahul offline and we'll confirm back.
Rahul is not able to easily (quickly) stand up Kibana from source to test this, and I don't have bandwidth to easily help cover it. So we can do some testing prior and some testing after merge. Please do cite what you can cover and we'll manage the rest after check-in I guess?
