"monitoring slice" feature request

Open billsnow opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

Status: Open Project: Flowvisor Component/s: Core Affects Version/s: 0.7.2 Fix Version/s: Long Term

Type: New Feature Priority: Major Reporter: Nick Bastin Assignee: Anne Struble Resolution: Unresolved Votes: 1 Labels: opnk11 Remaining Estimate: Not Specified Time Spent: Not Specified Original Estimate: Not Specified

Description
Currently, it's possible to create a read-only slice that gets copies of all messages by adding that slice to all flow entries, i.e.: "Slice:alice=4" becomes "Slice:alice=4,Slice:monitoringslice=2" for all flow entries. This is undesirable because it causes lots of extra maintenance when adding and removing flow entries. Rather than this, just maintain a separate list of "monitoring slices" that get all traffic.

One idea here would be to assign a monitoring slice to a real slice. This monitoring slice would then get a copy of all messages to that 'real' slice. A global monitoring slice, could be assigned to the fvadmin slice.
