#### Why I did it
When CPU is busy, the sonic_ax_impl may not have sufficient speed to handle the notification message sent from REDIS.
Thus, the message will keep stacking in the memory space of sonic_ax_impl.
If the condition continues, the memory usage will keep increasing.
#### How I did it
Add a monit file to check if the SNMP container where sonic_ax_impl resides in use more than 4GB memory.
If yes, restart the sonic_ax_impl process.
#### How to verify it
Run a lot of this command: `while true; do ret=$(redis-cli -n 0 set LLDP_ENTRY_TABLE:test1 test1); sleep 0.1; done;`
And check the memory used by sonic_ax_impl keeps increasing.
After a period, make sure the sonic_ax_impl is restarted when the memory usage reaches the 4GB threshold.
And verify the memory usage of sonic_ax_impl drops down from 4GB.

#### A picture of a cute animal (not mandatory but encouraged)
Currently, the build dockers are created as a user dockers(docker-base-stretch-<user>, etc) that are
specific to each user. But the sonic dockers (docker-database, docker-swss, etc) are
created with a fixed docker name and common to all the users.
docker-database:latest
docker-swss:latest
When multiple builds are triggered on the same build server that creates parallel building issue because
all the build jobs are trying to create the same docker with latest tag.
This happens only when sonic dockers are built using native host dockerd for sonic docker image creation.
This patch creates all sonic dockers as user sonic dockers and then, while
saving and loading the user sonic dockers, it rename the user sonic
dockers into correct sonic dockers with tag as latest.
docker-database:latest <== SAVE/LOAD ==> docker-database-<user>:tag
The user sonic docker names are derived from 'DOCKER_USERNAME and DOCKER_USERTAG' make env
variable and using Jinja template, it replaces the FROM docker name with correct user sonic docker name for
loading and saving the docker image.

snmpd writes the below error message in syslog :
snmp#snmpd[27]: truncating integer value > 32 bits
This message is written in syslog when the hrSystemUptime(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1.0 / system uptime) or sysUpTime(1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3 network management portion or snmpd uptime) is queried when either of these counters overflow beyond 32 bit value. This happens the device uptime or snmpd uptime is more than 497 days.
#### How I did it
Reference: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/367093 and https://linux.die.net/man/1/snmpcmd
To avoid seeing this message if the counter grows, the snmpd error log level is changed to display LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, and LOG_DEBUG.
Without this change, LOG_ERR and LOG_WARNING would also be logged in syslog.
#### How to verify it
On a device which is up for more than 497 days, modify supervisord.conf with the change and restart snmp.
Query 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3 and verify that log message is not seen.

Why I did it
Currently we leveraged the Supervisor to monitor the running status of critical processes in each container and it is more reliable and flexible than doing the monitoring by Monit. So we removed the functionality of monitoring the critical processes by Monit.
How I did it
I removed the script process_checker and corresponding Monit configuration entries of critical processes.
How to verify it
I verified this on the device str-7260cx3-acs-1.
- Why I did it
Initially, we used Monit to monitor critical processes in each container. If one of critical processes was not running
or crashed due to some reasons, then Monit will write an alerting message into syslog periodically. If we add a new process
in a container, the corresponding Monti configuration file will also need to update. It is a little hard for maintenance.
Currently we employed event listener of Supervisod to do this monitoring. Since processes in each container are managed by
Supervisord, we can only focus on the logic of monitoring.
- How I did it
We borrowed the event listener of Supervisord to monitor critical processes in containers. The event listener will take
following steps if it was notified one of critical processes exited unexpectedly:
The event listener will first check whether the auto-restart mechanism was enabled for this container or not. If auto-restart mechanism was enabled, event listener will kill the Supervisord process, which should cause the container to exit and subsequently get restarted.
If auto-restart mechanism was not enabled for this contianer, the event listener will enter a loop which will first sleep 1 minute and then check whether the process is running. If yes, the event listener exits. If no, an alerting message will be written into syslog.
- How to verify it
First, we need checked whether the auto-restart mechanism of a container was enabled or not by running the command show feature status. If enabled, one critical process should be selected and killed manually, then we need check whether the container will be restarted or not.
Second, we can disable the auto-restart mechanism if it was enabled at step 1 by running the commnad sudo config feature autorestart <container_name> disabled. Then one critical process should be selected and killed. After that, we will see the alerting message which will appear in the syslog every 1 minute.

**- Why I did it**
I'm updating the jinja2 template to support getting SNMP information from the redis configdb.
I'm using the format approved here:
https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/pull/718
This will pave the way for us to decrement using the snmp.yml in the future.
Right now we will still be using both the snmp.yml and configdb to get variable information in order to create the snmpd.conf via the sonic-cfggen tool.
**- How I did it**
I first updated the SNMP Schema in PR #718 to get that approved as a standardized format.
Then I verified I could add snmp configs to the configdb using this standard schema. Once the configs were added to the configdb then I updated the snmpd.conf.j2 file to support the updates via the configdb while still using the variables in the snmp.yml file in parallel. This way we will have backward compatibility until we can fully migrate to the configdb only.
By updating the snmpd.conf.j2 template and running the sonic-cfggen tool the snmpd.conf gets generated with using the values in both the configdb and snmp.yml file.
Co-authored-by: trvanduy <trvanduy@microsoft.com>
This PR is in preparation to move from snmp.yml to configdb. This will more closely align with other commands in sonic and use configdb as the source of truth for snmp configuration.
Note: This is the first of 2 PR's to enable this. This PR will not change any functionality but will allow the snmp.yml file info to be put into the configdb.
Created a script that takes the snmp.yml variables and converts them to the configdb format.
Added file to dockerfile.j2 so that file is copied in the container.
Updated start.sh file to automatically run the python conversion script each time the docker container is restarted.

As part of migrating SONiC codebase from Python 2 to Python 3
**- How I did it**
- No longer install Python 2 in docker-base-buster or docker-config-engine-buster.
- Install Python 2 and pip2 in the following containers until we can completely eliminate it there:
- docker-platform-monitor
- docker-sonic-mgmt-framework
- docker-sonic-vs
- Pin pip2 version <21 where it is still temporarily needed, as pip version 21 will drop support for Python 2
- Also preform some other cleanup, ensuring that pip3, setuptools and wheel packages are installed in docker-base-buster, and then removing any attempts to re-install them in derived containers
* First cut image update for kubernetes support.
With this,
1) dockers dhcp_relay, lldp, pmon, radv, snmp, telemetry are enabled
for kube management
init_cfg.json configure set_owner as kube for these
2) Each docker's start.sh updated to call container_startup.py to register going up
As part of this call, it registers the current owner as local/kube and its version
The images are built with its version ingrained into image during build
3) Update all docker's bash script to call 'container start/stop/wait' instead of 'docker start/stop/wait'.
For all locally managed containers, it calls docker commands, hence no change for locally managed.
4) Introduced a new ctrmgrd service, that helps with transition between owners as kube & local and carry over any labels update from STATE-DB to API server
5) hostcfgd updated to handle owner change
6) Reboot scripts are updatd to tag kube running images as local, so upon reboot they run the same image.
7) Added kube_commands.py to handle all updates with Kubernetes API serrver -- dedicated for k8s interaction only.

We were building a custom version of Supervisor because I had added patches to prevent hangs and crashes if the system clock ever rolled backward. Those changes were merged into the upstream Supervisor repo as of version 3.4.0 (http://supervisord.org/changes.html#id9), therefore, we should be able to simply install the vanilla package via pip. This will also allow us to easily move to Python 3, as Python 3 support was added in version 4.0.0.
**- How I did it**
- Remove Makefiles and patches for building supervisor package from source
- Install Python 3 supervisor package version 4.2.1 in Buster base container
- Also install Python 3 version of supervisord-dependent-startup in Buster base container
- Debian package installed binary in `/usr/bin/`, but pip package installs in `/usr/local/bin/`, so rather than update all absolute paths, I changed all references to simply call `supervisord` and let the system PATH find the executable to prevent future need for changes just in case we ever need to switch back to build a Debian package, then we won't need to modify these again.
- Install Python 2 supervisor package >= 3.4.0 in Stretch and Jessie base containers
Why/How I did:
Make sure first error syslog is triggered based on FAULT TOLERANCE condition.
Added support of repeat clause with alert action. This is used as trigger
for generation of periodic syslog error messages if error is persistent
Updated the monit conf files with repeat every x cycles for the alert action
We want to let Monit to unmonitor the processes in containers which are disabled in `FEATURE` table such that
Monit will not generate false alerting messages into the syslog.

When stopping the swss, pmon or bgp containers, log messages like the following can be seen:
```

```
This is due to the number of programs in the container managed by supervisor, all generating events at the same time. The default event queue buffer size in supervisor is 10. This patch increases that value in all containers in order to eliminate these errors. As more programs are added to the containers, we may need to further adjust these values. I increased all buffer sizes to 25 except for containers with more programs or templated supervisor.conf files which allow for a variable number of programs. In these cases I increased the buffer size to 50. One final exception is the swss container, where the buffer fills up to ~50, so I increased this buffer to 100.

**- Why I did it**
Initially, the critical_processes file contains either the name of critical process or the name of group.
For example, the critical_processes file in the dhcp_relay container contains a single group name
`isc-dhcp-relay`. When testing the autorestart feature of each container, we need get all the critical
processes and test whether a container can be restarted correctly if one of its critical processes is
killed. However, it will be difficult to differentiate whether the names in the critical_processes file are
the critical processes or group names. At the same time, changing the syntax in this file will separate the individual process from the groups and also makes it clear to the user.
Right now the critical_processes file contains two different kind of entries. One is "program:xxx" which indicates a critical process. Another is "group:xxx" which indicates a group of critical processes
managed by supervisord using the name "xxx". At the same time, I also updated the logic to
parse the file critical_processes in supervisor-proc-event-listener script.
**- How to verify it**
We can first enable the autorestart feature of a specified container for example `dhcp_relay` by running the comman `sudo config container feature autorestart dhcp_relay enabled` on DUT. Then we can select a critical process from the command `docker top dhcp_relay` and use the command `sudo kill -SIGKILL <pid>` to kill that critical process. Final step is to check whether the container is restarted correctly or not.
The `-sv2` suffix was used to differentiate SNMP Dockers when we transitioned from "SONiCv1" to "SONiCv2", about four years ago. The old Docker materials were removed long ago; there is no need to keep this suffix. Removing it aligns the name with all the other Dockers.
Also edit Monit configuration to detect proper snmp-subagent command line in Buster, and make snmpd command line matching more robust.
* Adding support for V2 in SNMP/LLDP (-sv2 postfix)
* Fixes for V1 containers: logging
* Fixes for V1 LLDP: limit LLDP to Front-panel or MGMT interfaces.
