This PR rewrites the endpoint resolution functionality. The original implementation was insufficient and only handle DNS resolution, which is only a subset of resolution we need to check.

  • use axios to check for endpoint resolution
    • accepts all status code as resolution, we just want to know if the server is there or not and responding
    • add statusCode and statusText to success response in case we need this later
  • update tests

Walkthrough

The pull request introduces significant changes to the monitorController.js and its corresponding test suite. The primary modification involves replacing the DNS resolution approach with HTTP requests using the axios library for endpoint checks. The checkEndpointResolution function has been updated to make GET requests and handle responses, while the test cases have been revised to reflect these changes, ensuring proper error handling and validation of HTTP responses.

Changes

File Path Change Summary
Server/controllers/monitorController.js - Removed dns import; added axios import.
- Updated checkEndpointResolution to use axios.get for HTTP requests instead of DNS resolution.
Server/tests/controllers/monitorController.test.js - Replaced dns with axios in tests.
- Updated tests for checkEndpointResolution to validate HTTP responses.
- Enhanced error handling in tests for deleteMonitor, deleteAllMonitors, and editMonitor.

294-294: Consider reducing the timeout value

A 5-second timeout might be too long for health checks, potentially causing queue buildup during outages.

-  timeout: 5000,
+  timeout: 3000,

291-301: Consider adding resilience patterns

The endpoint checking mechanism could benefit from:

  1. Implementing a retry mechanism with exponential backoff for transient failures
  2. Adding a circuit breaker pattern to prevent cascade failures
  3. Implementing request rate limiting per origin

This would improve reliability and prevent system overload during outages.

Would you like me to provide example implementations of these patterns?

Server/controllers/monitorController.js (2)

22-22: LGTM! Import change aligns with new implementation

The switch from dns to axios reflects the architectural shift from DNS resolution to HTTP-based endpoint checking.


299-300: LGTM! Enhanced response structure

The addition of status code and status text provides valuable information for monitoring and debugging purposes.

Server/tests/controllers/monitorController.test.js (5)

21-21: Great addition: Importing axios

The inclusion of axios is essential for the updated endpoint resolution logic.


485-485: Properly stubbing axios.get

Using sinon.stub to mock axios.get ensures the tests accurately simulate HTTP requests.


488-488: Ensuring clean test environment

Calling sinon.restore() in the afterEach hook effectively resets stubs and restores the original functionality after each test.


491-491: Accurate simulation of successful response

Mocking axiosGetStub to resolve with { status: 200, statusText: "OK" } correctly emulates a successful endpoint resolution.


497-498: Verifying response details

Asserting that the response includes the correct code and statusText ensures that the controller returns the expected data.

⚠️ Potential issue

Critical: Implement SSRF protection measures

The current implementation is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. An attacker could provide a URL pointing to internal network resources.

Apply this diff to add basic SSRF protection:

 const { monitorURL } = req.query;
 const parsedUrl = new URL(monitorURL);
+ // Block private IP ranges and localhost
+ const hostname = parsedUrl.hostname;
+ if (hostname === 'localhost' || 
+     hostname === '127.0.0.1' ||
+     hostname.startsWith('192.168.') ||
+     hostname.startsWith('10.') ||
+     hostname.startsWith('172.16.')) {
+   throw new Error('Access to internal networks is not allowed');
+ }
 const response = await axios.get(parsedUrl, {

1. Overview

1.1 PR Summary

  • Business value and requirements alignment: This PR rewrites the endpoint resolution functionality to improve the monitoring capabilities of the BlueWave Uptime system. The changes ensure that the system can determine if a server is reachable and responding, not just performing DNS resolution.
  • Key components modified: The primary changes are in Server/controllers/monitorController.js and Server/tests/controllers/monitorController.test.js.
  • Impact assessment: The changes impact the functionality of monitoring endpoints, affecting how the system determines if a server is responding.
  • System dependencies and integration impacts: Introduces axios as a dependency for HTTP requests, changing how the controller interacts with network resources.

1.2 Architecture Changes

  • System design modifications: The use of axios for HTTP requests introduces a dependency on an external library and changes how endpoint resolution is handled.
  • Component interactions: The checkEndpointResolution function now uses axios instead of the dns module, altering how the controller interacts with network resources.
  • Integration points: The change affects the integration points related to endpoint monitoring and resolution.

2. Detailed Technical Analysis

2.1 Code Logic Deep-Dive

Core Logic Changes

Server/controllers/monitorController.js - checkEndpointResolution
  • Submitted PR Code:

    const checkEndpointResolution = async (req, res, next) => {
        try {
            await getMonitorURLByQueryValidation.validateAsync(req.query);
        } catch (error) {
            next(handleValidationError(error, SERVICE_NAME));
            return;
        }
    
        try {
            const { monitorURL } = req.query;
            const parsedUrl = new URL(monitorURL);
            const response = await axios.get(parsedUrl, {
                timeout: 5000,
                validateStatus: () => true,
            });
            return res.status(200).json({
                success: true,
                code: response.status,
                statusText: response.statusText,
                msg: `URL resolved successfully`,
            });
        } catch (error) {
            next(handleError(error, SERVICE_NAME, "checkEndpointResolution"));
        }
    };
  • Analysis:

    • Current logic and potential issues:
      • The new implementation uses axios to make an HTTP GET request to the provided URL.
      • The response status code and status text are included in the success response.
      • Error handling is in place to catch any issues during the HTTP request.
    • Edge cases and error handling:
      • The code handles validation errors and HTTP request errors gracefully.
      • The validateStatus function is set to true to accept all status codes.
    • Cross-component impact:
      • The change impacts the monitorController and any component that relies on the checkEndpointResolution function.
    • Business logic considerations:
      • The business logic is correctly implemented to check if the server is reachable and responding.
  • LlamaPReview Suggested Improvements:

    // No immediate improvements required as the logic is sound.
  • Improvement rationale:

    • Technical benefits:
      • The use of axios provides a more robust way to check endpoint resolution compared to DNS resolution.
    • Business value:
      • Ensures that the system can effectively monitor the reachability and responsiveness of endpoints.
    • Risk assessment:
      • Introduces a dependency on an external library (axios), which needs to be managed for updates and potential security issues.
