Cap protocol classification attempts per connection - #376
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Pulls in the fork change that stops USM classification of connections whose protocol is never recognised once they use their budget of attempts, which removed most of the throughput loss on dense nodes. STS_PROTOCOL_CLASSIFICATION_HANDSHAKE_BUDGET and STS_PROTOCOL_CLASSIFICATION_MID_STREAM_BUDGET override the budgets for connections with and without an observed handshake; unset or out of range keeps the eBPF defaults.

Renames the budget settings and env vars to *_MAX_SEGMENTS so the unit is explicit, matching the fork's per-segment accounting. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

StackVista/datadog-agent-upstream-for-process-agent#854 is merged as c5edc213. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The old module path no longer resolves (a new, tagless repo now sits at it), which fails go mod download in CI. Replaces do not propagate from dependencies, so this mirrors the fork's replace, and temporarily points the fork at the replace-csaf-poc branch until that PR merges.

Fixes #354
This bumps the fork to StackVista/datadog-agent-upstream-for-process-agent#854, which stops classifying a connection whose protocol is never recognised once it has used its budget of data segments. In the local reproduction with 3000 busy connections, this image raised throughput from 26.6 to 32.6 Gbps (42.3 Gbps with the agent off).
Two new environment variables override the budgets. If unset or out of range, the eBPF defaults apply:
STS_PROTOCOL_CLASSIFICATION_HANDSHAKE_MAX_SEGMENTSSTS_PROTOCOL_CLASSIFICATION_MID_STREAM_MAX_SEGMENTSThe replace points at the merged fork commit
0560f9e3onstackstate-7.62.2. Also fixes the unrelated csaf module CI breakage: fixes #381.
