# P1-002: Scanner Timeout Configuration API
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** P1 (Major)
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ **IMPLEMENTED** (2025-11-13)
|
||||
**Component:** Configuration Management System
|
||||
**Type:** Feature Enhancement
|
||||
**Fixed by:** Octo (coding assistant)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This implementation adds **user-configurable scanner timeouts** to RedFlag, allowing administrators to adjust scanner timeout values per-subsystem via a secure web API. This addresses the hardcoded 45-second DNF timeout that was causing false timeout errors on systems with large package repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem Solved
|
||||
|
||||
**Original Issue:** DNF scanner timeout fixed at 45 seconds causing false positives
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:** Server configuration template hardcoded DNF timeout to 45 seconds (45000000000 nanoseconds)
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
- Database-driven configuration storage
|
||||
- RESTful API for runtime configuration changes
|
||||
- Per-scanner timeout overrides
|
||||
- 30-minute default for package scanners (DNF, APT)
|
||||
- Full audit trail for compliance
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Database Schema
|
||||
|
||||
### Table: `scanner_config`
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS scanner_config (
|
||||
scanner_name VARCHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY,
|
||||
timeout_ms BIGINT NOT NULL, -- Timeout in milliseconds
|
||||
updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
|
||||
|
||||
CHECK (timeout_ms > 0 AND timeout_ms <= 7200000) -- Max 2 hours (7200000ms)
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Columns:**
|
||||
- `scanner_name` (PK): Name of the scanner subsystem (e.g., 'dnf', 'apt', 'docker')
|
||||
- `timeout_ms`: Timeout duration in milliseconds
|
||||
- `updated_at`: Timestamp of last modification
|
||||
|
||||
**Constraints:**
|
||||
- Timeout must be between 1ms and 2 hours (7,200,000ms)
|
||||
- Primary key ensures one config per scanner
|
||||
|
||||
**Default Values Inserted:**
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
INSERT INTO scanner_config (scanner_name, timeout_ms) VALUES
|
||||
('system', 10000), -- 10 seconds
|
||||
('storage', 10000), -- 10 seconds
|
||||
('apt', 1800000), -- 30 minutes
|
||||
('dnf', 1800000), -- 30 minutes
|
||||
('docker', 60000), -- 60 seconds
|
||||
('windows', 600000), -- 10 minutes
|
||||
('winget', 120000), -- 2 minutes
|
||||
('updates', 30000) -- 30 seconds
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration:** `018_create_scanner_config_table.sql`
|
||||

### 2. ScannerConfigHandler (API Layer)
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** `aggregator-server/internal/api/handlers/scanner_config.go`
|
||||
|
||||
```go

|
||||
|
||||
**New Field:**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type ConfigBuilder struct {
|
||||
...
|
||||
scannerConfigQ *queries.ScannerConfigQueries // NEW: Database queries for scanner config
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**New Method:**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func (cb *ConfigBuilder) overrideScannerTimeoutsFromDB(config map[string]interface{})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Modified Constructor:**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func NewConfigBuilder(serverURL string, db queries.DBInterface) *ConfigBuilder
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Security Features
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Authentication & Authorization
|
||||
- **WebAuthMiddleware**: JWT-based authentication required
|
||||
- **Rate Limiting**: Admin operations bucket (configurable limits)
|
||||
- **User Tracking**: All changes logged with `user_id` and source IP
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Audit Trail
|
||||
Every configuration change creates an audit event:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
event := &models.SystemEvent{
|
||||
EventType: "scanner_config_change",
|
||||
EventSubtype: "timeout_updated",
|
||||
Severity: "info",
|
||||
Component: "admin_api",
|
||||
Message: "Scanner timeout updated: dnf = 30m0s",
|
||||
Metadata: map[string]interface{}{
|
||||
"scanner_name": "dnf",
|
||||
"timeout_ms": 1800000,
|
||||
"user_id": "user-uuid",
|
||||
"source_ip": "192.168.1.100",
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Input Validation
|
||||
- Timeout range enforced: 1 second to 2 hours
|
||||
- Scanner name must match whitelist
|
||||
- SQL injection protection via parameterized queries
|
||||
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) protection via JSON encoding
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Error Handling
|
||||
All errors return appropriate HTTP status codes without exposing internal details:
|
||||
- `400`: Invalid input
|
||||
- `404`: Scanner not found
|
||||
- `500`: Database or server error
|
||||

|
||||
## Integration Points
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. ConfigBuilder Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AgentSetupRequest
|
||||
↓
|
||||
BuildAgentConfig()
|
||||
↓
|
||||
buildFromTemplate() ← Uses hardcoded defaults
|
||||
↓
|
||||
overrideScannerTimeoutsFromDB() ← NEW: Overrides with DB values
|
||||
↓
|
||||
injectDeploymentValues() ← Adds credentials
|
||||
↓
|
||||
AgentConfiguration
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Database Query Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ConfigBuilder.BuildAgentConfig()
|
||||
↓
|
||||
cb.scannerConfigQ.GetScannerTimeoutWithDefault("dnf", 30min)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
SELECT timeout_ms FROM scanner_config WHERE scanner_name = $1
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[If not found] ← Return default value
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[If found] ← Return database value
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Agent Configuration Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Agent checks in
|
||||
↓
|
||||
GET /api/v1/agents/:id/config
|
||||
↓
|
||||
AgentHandler.GetAgentConfig()
|
||||
↓
|
||||
ConfigService.GetAgentConfig()
|
||||
↓
|
||||
ConfigBuilder.BuildAgentConfig()
|
||||
↓
|
||||
overrideScannerTimeoutsFromDB() ← Applies user settings
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Agent receives config with custom timeouts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing & Verification
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Manual Testing Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Get current scanner timeouts
|
||||
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/scanner-timeouts \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT_TOKEN"
|
||||
|
||||
# Update DNF timeout to 45 minutes
|
||||
curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/scanner-timeouts/dnf \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT_TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"timeout_ms": 2700000}'
|
||||
|
||||
# Reset to default
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/scanner-timeouts/dnf/reset \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT_TOKEN"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Agent Configuration Verification
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check agent's received configuration
|
||||
sudo cat /etc/redflag/config.json | jq '.subsystems.dnf.timeout'
|
||||
# Expected: 1800000000000 (30 minutes in nanoseconds)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Database Verification
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Check current scanner configurations
|
||||
SELECT scanner_name, timeout_ms, updated_at
|
||||
FROM scanner_config
|
||||
ORDER BY scanner_name;
|
||||
|
||||
-- Should show:
|
||||
-- dnf | 1800000 | 2025-11-13 14:30:00
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### For Existing Agents
|
||||
|
||||
Agents with old configurations (45s timeout) will automatically pick up new defaults when they:
|
||||
1. Check in to server (typically every 5 minutes)
|
||||
2. Request updated configuration via `/api/v1/agents/:id/config`
|
||||
3. Server builds config with database values
|
||||
4. Agent applies new timeout on next scan
|
||||
|
||||
### No Manual Intervention Required
|
||||
|
||||
The override mechanism gracefully handles:
|
||||
- Missing database records (uses code defaults)
|
||||
- Database connection failures (uses code defaults)
|
||||
- nil `scannerConfigQ` (uses code defaults)
|
||||

||||
**Web UI Status:** ⏳ **PLANNED** (will integrate with admin settings page)
|
||||
|
||||
### UI Implementation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
The scanner timeout configuration will be added to the **Admin Settings** page in the web dashboard. This integration will be completed alongside the **Rate Limit Settings UI** fixes currently planned.
|
||||
|
||||
**Planned UI Features:**
|
||||
- Settings page section: "Scanner Timeouts"
|
||||
- Dropdown with preset values (1min, 5min, 30min, 1hr, 2hr)
|
||||
- Visual indicator for non-default values
|
||||
- Reset to default button per scanner
|
||||
- Bulk update for multiple scanners
|
||||
- Timeout analytics recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
**Integration Timing:** Will be implemented during the rate limit screen UI fixes
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Until the UI is implemented, admins can configure scanner timeouts via:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Get current scanner timeouts
|
||||
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/scanner-timeouts \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT_TOKEN"
|
||||
|
||||
# Update DNF timeout to 45 minutes
|
||||
curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/scanner-timeouts/dnf \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT_TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"timeout_ms": 2700000}'
|
||||
|
||||
# Reset to default
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/scanner-timeouts/dnf/reset \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT_TOKEN"
|
||||
```
