Some datastore and service methods would return slices of structs,
rather than slices to pointers of structs (which most methods used).
Make this more consistent.
- Debounce frontend to reduce number of target searches in live query.
- More efficiently calculate label counts in live query and hosts
dashboard. Instead of using the (slow) CountHostsInTargets function,
retrieve the host counts while looking up the labels.
- Optimize targets search query. Removing the nested query retrieves the
same logical result set, but substantially optimizes MySQL CPU usage.
Testing indicates about a 50% reduction in MySQL CPU usage for the
frontend targets search API call after applying this change.
This commit takes advantage of the existing pagination APIs in the Fleet
server, and provides additional APIs to support pagination in the web
UI. Doing this dramatically reduces the response sizes for requests from
the UI, and limits the performance impact of UI clients on the Fleet and
MySQL servers.
Replaces the UI endpoints for creating and modifying labels. These were removed
in #1686 because we thought we were killing the UI.
Now labels can be created and edited in the UI again.
With the UI, deleting by ID made sense. With fleetctl, we now want to delete
by name. Transition only the methods used for spec related entities, as others
will be removed soon.
Notable refactoring:
- Use stdlib "context" in place of "golang.org/x/net/context"
- Go-kit no longer wraps errors, so we remove the unwrap in transport_error.go
- Use MakeHandler when setting up endpoint tests (fixes test bug caught during
this refactoring)
Closes#1411.
- Introduce kolide.ListOptions to store pagination params (in the future it can
also store ordering/filtering params)
- Refactor service/datastore methods to take kolide.ListOptions
- Implement pagination
