v2.0.0 Roadmap

[Issif]

Before integrating new outputs I'm planning some changes (and possible breaks) for a v2.0.0. Here what and why.

Configuration

Until now, configuration is only possible through environment variables, I would like to add a config file as the number of option is increasing as long I'm adding new outputs. My idea is to use https://github.com/spf13/viper and use its capacity to handle different methods for configuration with a hierarchy "env vars > yaml config file > default values".

Add Test & Code Coverage

For that, I need to change some methods, some of outputs have endpoint of their services which are hard coded. For adding tests, I will add function to create Client object with as much modifiable parameters that needed.

Automatic code coverage test will run on https://coveralls.io/.

Remove useless handlers

✔️ #18

/checkpayload is not usefull anymore, DEBUG config option will print input and outputs in stdout.

✔️ #18

Change format of output configuration in logs

✔️ #18 #19

We have currently :

2018/10/11 08:53:25 [INFO] : Outputs configuration : Slack=enabled, Datadog=disabled, Alertmanager=disabled

That will be :

2018/10/11 08:53:25 [INFO] : Enabled Outputs : Slack
2018/10/11 08:53:25 [INFO] : Disabled Outputs : Datadog, Alertmanager

This syntax is more concise.

Add stats

Add /stats handler that will return a json with classic metrics (number of goroutines, heap, etc) from expvar package and custom ones :

• number of inputs from falco
• number of OK sents to different outputs
• number of KO sents to different outputs

Enable/Disable detailed view for Slack output

Add an helm chart
