Hello Robin,
Thank you for working on Zabbix and integrating it better into IPFire.
I am very happy with this, but I have my reservations about the mechanism with the “new” configuration file. I do not quite see the necessity for this since we have a package management system which will allow you to start again from scratch if you want by uninstalling the package, throwing away the backup and then installing the package again.
It would also create some unique feature around one package, but not for others which is probably more confusing than helpful.
What is your motivation for this?
I do understand your concerns and agree that handling the config of this pak differently than configs of other paks is bothersome.
However, I understand now that you can start over by removing the package and the backup but up until I started contributing, I never knew the config of an addon was backed up automatically on uninstall and restored on re-install. I would have expected that if I didn't find the config anymore after an uninstall it would be gone and a re-install would give me a fresh config. So I would probably be utterly confused if I found my old config back after a re-install. Is this documented somewhere where I could have known this behaviour as a normal average user ?
The problem I'm having with the current way is that when an addon is updated, a new version of the config is just discarded due to the restore of the previous config during install (even if that config was never changed by the user). So if settings in the config are added, deprecated or even no longer valid, the user will never know until a version would no longer start up or no longer behave as expected due to the old config. And even if a user would think about checking config changes on an update he would have to go search the internet for a config example for this version of the addon.
In this specific case, as we update from a rather old version of zabbix agent, there are quite a few interesting config changes that can harden the security of the agent, which I would not want the user to miss out on. Also one option is deprecated, is currently still supported, but in the next version it probably will no longer work, possibly breaking some users' monitoring or causing the agent to fail starting.
For the sudoers file it is even more problematic; the user can of course modify that file to add additional commands he requires the agent to execute as root, but possible future additions to the ipfire specific monitoring that I or other contributors in the future may add, may also need extra commands in that file to work. (for example the upcoming services monitoring that would require some form of addonctrl status) But I can't update that file with the current behaviour.. or I would have to try to implement some sed magic after the restore in install.sh hoping not to damage the file if it has user customizations in it.
So I'm not sure on how to handle this differently at the moment. I was thinking for the main config maybe just installing a ".example" version of the latest config so that a user would not have to go search for it on internet ? And in that case even remove all comments and defaults from the actual config (on a fresh install) as that is then provided in the ".example" version as documentation.
But that still leaves the sudoers file. The only other possibility I see there is that we don't add this file to the backup and add a comment in it that a user should not modify it as it will get overwritten on update. He can then always still create his own sudoers- file with his own custom rights for the agent.
Of course all this can be solved by managing the config using the webgui.. and I'm still planning to create a webgui config page for the agent someday. But we are not there yet :-)
Regards
Robin
