The changes involved refactor and clean-up of variable names. This encompasses making the names more descriptive and meaningful to enhance the readability of the code. Accuracy of variable names in conveying their usage and purpose has been greatly improved. The changes span across multiple files, touching crucial components like the server, rulesets, connection, and configuration handling.
Introduced an Actions interface for plugins in 'action.go' and implemented a corresponding registry in 'registry.go'. Additionally, adjusted rule related behavior in 'Server' to account for actions, with relevant new fields in Ruleset and Rule. This enables multiple actions on a log message based on defined rules and further modularises the codebase, paving the path for addition of more plugin actions.
The Ruleset struct has been updated to include a 'HostMatch' field. A corresponding conditional block to handle 'HostMatch' was added in the 'Server' object's ruleset cycle. This allows the rules to include host-specific matches and debug information about matches found. Further expansion of this functionality can enable detailed rule application based on the target host.
Added a Ruleset configuration to the logranger application, along with associated error handling. The code now loads a ruleset file from configuration, checks for duplicate rules, and logs each rule as it is found. The ruleset is also integrated within the server setup. The PIDFile now includes a default RuleFile reference in config.go.
