The executables invoked by the ZED in response to a given zevent have been generically referred to as "scripts". By convention, these scripts have aimed to be /bin/sh compatible for reasons of portability and comprehensibility. However, the ZED only requires they be executable and (ideally) capable of reading environment variables. As such, these scripts are now referred to as ZEDLETs (ZFS Event Daemon Linkage for Executable Tasks).

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBZED\fR (ZFS Event Daemon) monitors events generated by the ZFS kernel
|
|
module. When a zevent (ZFS Event) is posted, \fBZED\fR will run any ZEDLETs
|
|
(ZFS Event Daemon Linkage for Executable Tasks) that have been enabled for the
|
|
corresponding zevent class.

.SH ZEVENTS
|
|
.PP
|
|
A zevent is comprised of a list of nvpairs (name/value pairs). Each zevent
|
|
contains an EID (Event IDentifier) that uniquely identifies it throughout
|
|
the lifetime of the loaded ZFS kernel module; this EID is a monotonically
|
|
increasing integer that resets to 1 each time the kernel module is loaded.
|
|
Each zevent also contains a class string that identifies the type of event.
|
|
For brevity, a subclass string is defined that omits the leading components
|
|
of the class string. Additional nvpairs exist to provide event details.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The kernel maintains a list of recent zevents that can be viewed (along with
|
|
their associated lists of nvpairs) using the "\fBzpool events \-v\fR" command.
|
|
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
.PP
|
|
ZEDLETs to be invoked in response to zevents are located in the
|
|
\fIenabled-zedlets\fR directory. These can be symlinked or copied from the
|
|
\fIinstalled-zedlets\fR directory; symlinks allow for automatic updates
|
|
from the installed ZEDLETs, whereas copies preserve local modifications.
|
|
As a security measure, ZEDLETs must be owned by root. They must have
|
|
execute permissions for the user, but they must not have write permissions
|
|
for group or other. Dotfiles are ignored.
|
|
.PP
|
|
ZEDLETs are named after the zevent class for which they should be invoked.
|
|
In particular, a ZEDLET will be invoked for a given zevent if either its
|
|
class or subclass string is a prefix of its filename (and is followed by
|
|
a non-alphabetic character). As a special case, the prefix "all" matches
|
|
all zevents. Multiple ZEDLETs may be invoked for a given zevent.
|
|
|
|
.SH ZEDLETS
|
|
.PP
|
|
ZEDLETs are executables invoked by the ZED in response to a given zevent.
|
|
They should be written under the presumption they can be invoked concurrently,
|
|
and they should use appropriate locking to access any shared resources.
|
|
Common variables used by ZEDLETs can be stored in the default rc file which
|
|
is sourced by scripts; these variables should be prefixed with "ZED_".
|
|
.PP
|
|
The zevent nvpairs are passed to ZEDLETs as environment variables.
|
|
Each nvpair name is converted to an environment variable in the following
|
|
manner: 1) it is prefixed with "ZEVENT_", 2) it is converted to uppercase,
|
|
and 3) each non-alphanumeric character is converted to an underscore.
|
|
Some additional environment variables have been defined to present certain
|
|
nvpair values in a more convenient form. An incomplete list of zevent
|
|
environment variables is as follows:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B
|
|
ZEVENT_EID
|
|
The Event IDentifier.
|
|
.TP
|
|

|
|
ZEVENT_CLASS

|
|
.TP
|
|

|
|
ZEVENT_SUBCLASS
|
|
The zevent subclass string.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B
|
|
ZEVENT_TIME
|
|
The time at which the zevent was posted as
|
|
"\fIseconds\fR\ \fInanoseconds\fR" since the Epoch.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B
|
|
ZEVENT_TIME_SECS
|
|
The \fIseconds\fR component of ZEVENT_TIME.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B
|
|
ZEVENT_TIME_NSECS
|
|

.TP
|
|
.B
|
|
ZEVENT_TIME_STRING
|
|
An almost-RFC3339-compliant string for ZEVENT_TIME.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Additionally, the following ZED & ZFS variables are defined:
|
|
.TP
|
|

|
|
.TP
|
|

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B
|
|
ZFS_ALIAS
|
|

|
|
.TP
|

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B
|
|
ZFS_RELEASE

|
|
.PP
|
|
ZEDLETs may need to call other ZFS commands. The installation paths of
|
|
the following executables are defined: \fBZDB\fR, \fBZED\fR, \fBZFS\fR,
|
|
\fBZINJECT\fR, and \fBZPOOL\fR. These variables can be overridden in the
|
|
rc file if needed.
|
|

.SH NOTES
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBZED\fR requires root privileges.
|
|
.\" Do not taunt zed.
|
|
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
.PP
|
|
Events are processed synchronously by a single thread. This can delay the
|
|
processing of simultaneous zevents.
|
|
.PP
|
|
There is no maximum timeout for ZEDLET execution. Consequently, a misbehaving
|
|
ZEDLET can delay the processing of subsequent zevents.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The ownership and permissions of the \fIenabled-zedlets\fR directory (along
|
|
with all parent directories) are not checked. If any of these directories
|
|
are improperly owned or permissioned, an unprivileged user could insert a
|
|
ZEDLET to be executed as root. The requirement that ZEDLETs be owned by
|
|
root mitigates this to some extent.
|
|
.PP
|
|
ZEDLETs are unable to return state/status information to the kernel.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Some zevent nvpair types are not handled. These are denoted by zevent
|
|
environment variables having a "_NOT_IMPLEMENTED_" value.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Internationalization support via gettext has not been added.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The configuration file is not yet implemented.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The diagnosis engine is not yet implemented.
