| 12 | Hello Robert,
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | I have been taking a look a the NetKarma Version 2.5 and have some feedback.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | 1. The NetKarma Version 2.5 Quick Start Guide instruct the user to download
|
|---|
| 17 | version 2.0 files rather than version 2.5 :
|
|---|
| 18 | "https://pti.iu.edu/sites/default/files/karma-adaptor-2.0.tar.gz" and
|
|---|
| 19 | " https://pti.iu.edu/sites/default/files/karma-adaptor_v2.0_user_manual.pdf"
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | 2. The NetKarma Version 2.5 Adaptor requires ANT and JDK to be installed, which
|
|---|
| 22 | are not listed as prerequisites in the Quick Start Guide. Also RabbitMQ shoudl
|
|---|
| 23 | be listed as a prerequisite.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | 3. Using the README for the NetKarma Adaptor. In the section named
|
|---|
| 26 | "Edit the Environment Configuration File" the user is instructed to set
|
|---|
| 27 | "ADAPTOR_HOME, JAVA_HOME, and ANT_HOME", the first two exist in
|
|---|
| 28 | the configuration file, but ANT_HOME does not exist.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | 4. The Quick Start Guide Steps 4 and 5 instruct to modify karma-adaptor.properties
|
|---|
| 31 | and KarmaQueryConfig.txt, but does not provide a path to these files.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | 5. The "NetKarma GUSH Adaptor Tool User Manual" section 2.2 "Service Dependencies"
|
|---|
| 34 | instructs me to download RabbitMQ, but does not specify if I need the server, the client,
|
|---|
| 35 | both, or some other component.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | 6. The "NetKarma GUSH Adaptor Tool User Manual" section 3 lists "karma-adaptor.homedir"
|
|---|
| 38 | as a karma-adaptor.properties setting, but is not found in the file. Is this an optional setting?
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | 7. The "NetKarma GUSH Adaptor Tool User Manual" section 3 describes the setting
|
|---|
| 41 | "messaging.hostname" as "Hostname that hosts RabbitMQ Server" but the configuration
|
|---|
| 42 | file karma-adaptor.properties describes the same setting as the
|
|---|
| 43 | "<URL where RabbitMQ server is hosted>". After trying both seems the the URL description
|
|---|
| 44 | is incorrect, properties file needs update.
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | 8. Question, should I be able to process a gush logfile using the ruleset.xml delivered as part of the
|
|---|
| 47 | adaptor package? I tried parsing a very simple gush log (start and stop gush) with the
|
|---|
| 48 | provenance_collection.sh script and it fails with "Invalid rulefile, use the correct version of the rulefile!"
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | Thanks,
|
|---|
