[Fleet] Move Fleet Setup to `start` lifecycle #117552

kpollich · 2021-11-04T16:11:52Z

Summary

Move Fleet setup from an API request on every Fleet page-load to the Fleet plugin's server-side start lifecycle method.

For reference, the current Fleet Setup process performs the following steps (see https:/elastic/kibana/blob/main/x-pack/plugins/fleet/server/services/setup.ts):

setupFleet()
If Fleet setup is already pending, return a pending status, else createSetupSideEffects()
Grab packages, policies, and outputs from kibana.yml
ensurePreconfiguredOutputs() and run settingsSetup
- ensurePreconfiguredOuputs writes or updates output settings to the ingest-outputs saved object type
- settingsSetup ensures that any of Fleet's default settings are properly set
ensureDefaultOutput()
- Ensures that a default output it set either by config in kibana.yml or by creating one
If agentIdVerificationEnabled is set in config, then ensureFleetGlobalEsAssets
- Installs Fleet's default component template and ingest pipeline if they do not already exist
ensurePreconfiguredPackagesAndPolicies - Install preconfigured packages + policies based on
- Packages listed in kibana.yml
- DEFAULT_PACKAGES hard coded in Fleet
- AUTO_UPDATE_PACKAGES hard coded in Fleet
- Handle upgrades for managed package policies (upgradeManagedPackagePolicies) for any managed package w/ keepPoliciesUpToDate: true set
cleanPreconfiguredOutputs
- Deletes any outputs that were previously preconfigured and no longer are
ensureDefaultEnrollmentAPIKeysExists
ensureFleetServerAgentPoliciesExists

Checklist

Call setupFleet from Fleet plugin's server-side start lifecycle
Install any preconfigured packages

x-pack/plugins/fleet/server/plugin.ts

+ new Promise<void>(async (resolve, reject) => {
+ try {
+ await startFleetServerSetup();
+ await setupFleet(
+ new SavedObjectsClient(core.savedObjects.createInternalRepository()),
+ core.elasticsearch.client.asInternalUser

I think we should move this promise constructor outside the fleetSetupCompleted function so that it isn't called each time fleetSetupCompleted is called and instead just return the already-constructed Promise. Also what is calling fleetSetupCompleted? I don't think we should rely on this being called for setup to run.

Also more of a nit, but I don't think you need the Promise constructor and you can just use an async function directly:

const fleetSetup = (async () { await startFleetServerSetup(); await setupFleet(...); })();

Fleet doesn't call fleetSetupCompleted on its own, but the security_solution plugin does rely on it to handle some of their dependent setup logic here:

kibana/x-pack/plugins/security_solution/server/plugin.ts

Lines 368 to 381 in 828a579

// Migrate artifacts to fleet and then start the minifest task after that is done

plugins.fleet.fleetSetupCompleted().then(() => {

migrateArtifactsToFleet(savedObjectsClient, artifactClient, logger).finally(() => {

logger.info('Dependent plugin setup complete - Starting ManifestTask');

if (this.manifestTask) {

this.manifestTask.start({

taskManager,

});

} else {

logger.error(new Error('User artifacts task not available.'));

}

});

});

Agreed on restructuring this - it doesn't need a Promise constructor anymore.

Fleet doesn't call fleetSetupCompleted on its own, but the security_solution plugin does rely on it to handle some of their dependent setup logic here

I still don't think we should rely on security solution to call this. In fact, we or they may remove this in 8.0 as part of removing our BWC code for pre-GA fleet. We can still support this API for now by initiating the Fleet setup directly in the start function before the return statement, but just don't await the promise and instead return it from fleetSetupCompleted().

Moved this logic out of fleetSetupCompleted so we don't need to rely on security solution calling it.

catching errors here seems to squash the UnhandledPromiseRejection errors that were breaking various tests in CI. 🤞

Sample debug log output on Kibana boot:

joshdover · 2021-11-15T10:18:04Z

x-pack/plugins/fleet/server/plugin.ts

+ const fleetSetupPromise = (async () => {
+ try {
+ logger.info('Beginning fleet setup');
+
+ const { nonFatalErrors } = await setupFleet(
+ new SavedObjectsClient(core.savedObjects.createInternalRepository()),
+ core.elasticsearch.client.asInternalUser
+ );
+
+ if (nonFatalErrors.length > 0) {
+ logger.info('Encountered non fatal errors during Fleet setup');
+ formatNonFatalErrors(nonFatalErrors).forEach((error) =>
+ logger.info(JSON.stringify(error))
+ );
+ }
+
+ logger.info('Fleet setup completed');
+ } catch (error) {
+ logger.warn('Fleet setup failed');
+ logger.warn(error);
+ }
+ })();


Should we move this logging logic into setupFleet itself so we get the same logging when running manually via the API?

Yes I think that's a good idea.

I moved all the logs except for what's in our catch into setupFleet in 76138ec
