# Details This PR adds support for a new label membership type, `host_vitals`. Membership for these labels is based on a database query created from user-supplied criteria. In this first iteration, the allowed criteria are very simple: a label can specify either an IdP group or IdP department, and hosts with linked users with a matching group or department. Groundwork is laid here for more complex host vitals queries, including `and` and `or` logic, different data types and different kinds of vitals (rather than just the "foreign" vitals of which IdP is an example). Note that this PR does _not_ include the cron job that will trigger membership updating, and it doesn't include ; for sake of simplicity in review that will be done in a follow-on PR. ## Basic flow ### Creating a host vitals label 1. A new label is created via the API / GitOps with membership type `host_vitals` and a `criteria` property that's a JSON blob. Currently the JSON can only contain `vital` and `value` keys (and must contain those keys) 2. The server validates that the specified `vital` exists in our [set of known host vitals](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/30278/files#diff-b6d4c48f2624b82c2567b2b88db1de51c6b152eeb261d40acfd5b63a890839b7R418-R436). 3. The server validates that the [criteria can be parsed into a query](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/30278/files?diff=unified&w=1#diff-4ac4cfba8bed490e8ef125a0556f5417156f805017bfe93c6e2c61aa94ba8a8cR81-R86). This also happens during GitOps dry run. 4. The label is saved (criteria is saved as JSON in the db) ### Updating membership for a host vitals label 1. The label's criteria is used to generate a query to run on the _Fleet_ db. 1. For each vital criteria, check the vital type. Currently only foreign vitals are supported. 2. For foreign vitals, add its group to a set we keep track of. 3. Add a `WHERE` clause section for the vital and value, e.g. `end_user_idp_groups = ?` 4. Once we have all the `WHERE` clauses, create the query as `SELECT %s FROM %s` + any joins contributed by foreign vitals groups + `WHERE ` + all the `WHERE` clauses we just calculated. The `%s` provide some flexibility if we want to use these queries in other contexts. 2. Delete all existing label members 3. Do an `INSERT...SELECT` using the query we calculated from the label criteria. The query will be `SELECT <label id> as label_id, hosts.id FROM hosts JOIN ...` ## Future work ### Domestic vitals These can be anything that we already store in the `hosts` table. Domestic vitals won't add any `JOIN`s to the calculated label query, and will simply be e.g. `hosts.hostname = ?` ### Custom vitals We currently support an `additional_queries` config that will cause other queries to run on hosts. The data returned from these queries is stored in a `hosts_additional` table as a JSON blob. We can use MySQL JSON functions to match values in this data, e.g. `JSON_EXTRACT(host_additional, `$.some_custom_vital`) = ?` # Checklist for submitter If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line. <!-- Note that API documentation changes are now addressed by the product design team. --> - [ ] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`, `orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`. > I'll add the changelog item when I add the cron job PR - [X] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements) - [X] If database migrations are included, checked table schema to confirm autoupdate - For new Fleet configuration settings - [X] Verified that the setting can be managed via GitOps, or confirmed that the setting is explicitly being excluded from GitOps. If managing via Gitops: - [X] Verified that the setting is exported via `fleetctl generate-gitops` - [X] Verified that the setting is cleared on the server if it is not supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional) - For database migrations: - [X] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will auto-update timestamps during migration. - [X] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not cause unwanted side effects. - [X] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`). - [X] Added/updated automated tests - [X] Manual QA for all new/changed functionality |
