v0.6.2

AckbarX v0.6.2 - SNMP Trap Forwarder

AckbarX is a robust Rust-based SNMP Trap Forwarder developed by GoCortex.io to bridge traditional SNMP monitoring infrastructure with modern HTTP-based log ingestion systems, specifically targeting Cortex XSIAM/XDR platforms.

Whats New

• Reduced cache retry interval from 60 seconds to 10 seconds for faster recovery
• Moved cache success messages from INFO to DEBUG level to reduce log noise
• Lots of code cleanup, honestly, probably should have been a smaller build number jump, honestly, was a typo I couldn't be bothered reverting!

Key Features

• Multi-protocol SNMP Support - Handles SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 traps with version-specific parsing
• HTTP Endpoint Forwarding - Forwards traps to Cortex XSIAM and other REST APIs with authentication
• Source-based Routing - Routes traps to different endpoints based on IP patterns (CIDR, wildcards, exact matches)
• Redundant File-based Caching - Offline resilience with caching to ALL endpoint directories for full redundancy
• Atomic Graceful Shutdown - Zero data loss during shutdown with atomic coordination preventing HTTP retry delays
• Lost and Found System - Preserves all rejected traps for forensic analysis and debugging
• Advanced Log Rotation - Automatic log management with size limits and file cleanup
• Dual Configuration Generation - Simple and complex configuration templates for different deployment scenarios
• Comprehensive Error Handling - Enhanced diagnostics and enterprise-grade reliability

Quick Start

Simple Setup (Single Endpoint, Basic Configuration)

1. Generate Simple Config: ./ackbarx --generate-simple-config
2. Edit API Keys: Update config.json with your XSIAM endpoint and authentication
3. Start Service: ./ackbarx --config config.json

Enterprise Setup (Multiple Endpoints, Advanced Routing)

1. Generate Complex Config: ./ackbarx --generate-config
2. Configure Endpoints: Update config.json with your primary/backup XSIAM instances
3. Set Source Routing: Configure IP-based routing patterns
4. Start Service: ./ackbarx --config config.json
