Merge ~tiago.pasqualini/charm-nagios:livestatus into charm-nagios:master

[Tiago Pasqualini da Silva]

[Drew Freiberger (afreiberger)]

I've left a few nit-picks in the comments, but specifically, this will require functional test coverage before it can be approved.

I would also suggest filing a bug to state the requirement and help us understand urgency of the need.

I can guess why it may be needed/useful for customers to be able to monitor livestatus externally, but we're not generally spending effort on new features in nagios as it's deprecated for focal.

I'd be keen to know the reason for this change - exposing livestatus to the network increases the attack surface. If there's a bug to link to this change, please do so.

I spoke with Thiago, and this has been requested by a customer. I think with an update to default to secure and closed from the outside (only_from default to 127.0.0.1) would help a lot to ensure operators must intervene to set specific endpoints and consider the security implication.

[Tiago Pasqualini da Silva (tiago.pasqualini)]

Hi Drew and Xav, I have updated the patch with your requirements. Let me know if there's anything else missing

[Drew Freiberger (afreiberger)]

Thank you for this contribution. We will review this for appropriateness and inclusion for the 21.04 release. I see the items requested in the prior reviews have been addressed.

[Celia Wang (ziyiwang)]

code LGTM

[Linda Guo (lihuiguo)]

Hi Tiago

I understood this is a feature requested by customer. For easily tracking, can you please create a bug and link the bug to this change. Thanks.

[Tiago Pasqualini da Silva (tiago.pasqualini)]

Hi Linda,

Thanks for the review. I created the bug and linked on the commit message.

Thanks,
Tiago

[Tiago Pasqualini da Silva (tiago.pasqualini)]

Hi Folks,

Any updates on this?

Thanks,
Tiago

[Drew Freiberger (afreiberger)]

This LGTM now. Thank you for adding in the default least access necessary configs I'd requested. Still suggest a user story to ensure we have proper context for this change to be added to the bug.

review: Approve

[James Troup (elmo)]

The Juju config needs to document the security considerations of enabling this since, last I looked, livestatus supports neither Authentication nor Authorization. I also agree that some sort of user story in the bug would really help people doing archeology on this.

review: Needs Fixing

[Tiago Pasqualini da Silva (tiago.pasqualini)]

Done. Added the user story to the bug and added some security recommendations to the juju config.

Added livestatus through xinetd

This patch adds the possibility to expose the livestatus socket to
the network by using xinetd. If enable_livestatus and
livestatus_enable_xinetd are both True, it will be exposed to the
network.

Closes-bug: #1916530
