Why I did it
Database container takes long time ( more than 1.5 minutes ) on some vendor platforms.
This makes the determine-reboot-cause starts later than process-reboot-cause service.
And that results in the incorrect reboot-cause determination.
How I did it
Add the dependency of determine-reboot-cause service to process-reboot-cause service
- Why I did it
New security feature for enforcing strong passwords when login or changing passwords of existing users into the switch.
- How I did it
By using mainly Linux package named pam-cracklib that support the enforcement of user passwords, the daemon named hostcfgd, will support add/modify password policies that enforce and strengthen the user passwords.
- How to verify it
Manually Verification-
1. Enable the feature, using the new sonic-cli command passw-hardening or manually add the password hardening table like shown in HLD by using redis-cli command
2. Change password policies manually like in step 1.
Notes:
password hardening CLI can be found in sonic-utilities repo-
P.R: Add support for Password Hardening sonic-utilities#2121
code config path: config/plugins/sonic-passwh_yang.py
code show path: show/plugins/sonic-passwh_yang.py
3. Create a new user (using adduser command) or modify an existing password by using passwd command in the terminal. And it will now request a strong password instead of default linux policies.
Automatic Verification - Unitest:
This PR contained unitest that cover:
1. test default init values of the feature in PAM files
2. test all the types of classes policies supported by the feature in PAM files
3. test aging policy configuration in PAM files
Why I did it
At present, there is no mechanism in an event driven model to know that the system is up with all the essential sonic services and also, all the docker apps are ready along with port ready status to start the network traffic. With the asynchronous architecture of SONiC, we will not be able to verify if the config has been applied all the way down to the HW. But we can get the closest up status of each app and arrive at the system readiness.
How I did it
A new python based system monitor tool is introduced under system-health framework to monitor all the essential system host services including docker wrapper services on an event based model and declare the system is ready. This framework gives provision for docker apps to notify its closest up status. CLIs are provided to fetch the current system status and also service running status and its app ready status along with failure reason if any.
How to verify it
"show system-health sysready-status" click CLI
Syslogs for system ready
#### Why I did it
When too many user login concurrently and run commands, SONiC may kernel panic on some device which has very limited memory.
#### How I did it
Add j2 template for setup pam_limit plugin for limit SSH session per-user.
#### How to verify it
Manually validate the j2 template can generate correct config file.

[TACACS+] Add Config DB schema and HostCfg Enforcer plugin to support TACACS+ per-command authorization&accounting. (#9029)
#### Why I did it
Support TACACS per-command authorization&accounting.
#### How I did it
Change ConfigDB schema and HostCfg enforcer.
Add UT to cover changed code.

Build following project and pass all UTs:

Why I did it
With current code the delay will take place even if simple 'config reload' command executed and this is not desired.
This delay should be used only when fast-rebooting.
How I did it
Change the type of delay to OnBootSec instead of OnActiveSec.
How to verify it
Fast-reboot with this PR and observe the delay.
Run 'config-reload' command and observe no delay is running.
Since database.service has been moved to execute after rc-local.service,
and determine-reboot-cause.service rely on database.service, we have to
specify that in "After=".

#### Why I did it
hostcfgd is starting at the same time as 'create_switch' method is called on orchagent process.
This introduce a degradation on the function execution time which eventually cause the fast-boot flow and a boot scenarion in general to run slower (~6 seconds).
This change will delay the start time of this daemon.
The aaastatsd will delay as well since it has a dependency on hostcfgd, so it is required to delay both.
90 seconds determined as the maximum allowed downtime for control plane to come back up on fast-boot flow.
#### How I did it
Add two timers for hostcfgd and aaastatsd services in order to delay the startup of these services.
#### How to verify it
Install an image with this change and observe the daemons start 90 seconds after the system boot.
- Why I did it
Group all SONiC services together and able to manage them together. Will be used in config reload command as much simpler and generic way to restart services.
- How I did it
Add services to sonic.target
- How to verify it
Together with Azure/sonic-utilities#1199
config reload -y

- Why I did it
To move ‘sonic-host-service’ which is currently built as a separate package to ‘sonic-host-services' package.
- How I did it
- Moved 'sonic-host-server' to 'src/sonic-host-services' and included it as part of the python3 wheel.
- Other files were moved to 'src/sonic-host-services-data' and included as part of the deb package.
- Changed build option ‘INCLUDE_HOST_SERVICE’ to ‘ENABLE_HOST_SERVICE_ON_START’ for enabling sonic-hostservice at boot-up by default.
- Why I did it
Add reboot history to State db so that can be used telemetry service
- How I did it
Split the process-reboot-cause service to determine-reboot-cause and process-reboot-cause
determine-reboot-cause to determine the reboot cause
process-reboot-cause to parse the reboot cause files and put the reboot history to state db
Moved to sonic-host-service* packages
- How to verify it
Performed unit test and tested on DUT
To consolidate host services and install via packages instead of file-by-file, also as part of migrating all of SONiC to Python 3, as Python 2 is no longer supported.
To consolidate host services and install via packages instead of file-by-file, also as part of migrating all of SONiC to Python 3, as Python 2 is no longer supported, convert caclmgrd to Python 3 and add to sonic-host-services package
**- Why I did it**
Install all host services and their data files in package format rather than file-by-file
**- How I did it**
- Create sonic-host-services Python wheel package, currently including procdockerstatsd
- Also add the framework for unit tests by adding one simple procdockerstatsd test case
- Create sonic-host-services-data Debian package which is responsible for installing the related systemd unit files to control the services in the Python wheel. This package will also be responsible for installing any Jinja2 templates and other data files needed by the host services.
