Release notes for Resource Surveillance (surveilr) 0.23.0

What’s New

Environment Variable Import with Regular Expressions: Added the --import-env "<regex>" option to surveilr shell. This feature allows users to import environment variables that match a given regular expression into the session_state_ephemeral table, making them available for scripts. Users must explicitly provide the regular expression they wish to use, (.* must be specified manually if desired).
Argument Parsing and Upsert: Enhanced the argument parsing capability of surveilr shell to handle any arguments passed with the --arg prefix (e.g., --arg1 abc, --arg2 xyz). These arguments are automatically upserted into the session_state_ephemeral table, allowing them to be referenced within the session.
Custom Session State Table: Introduced the --session-state-table-name argument, allowing users to specify a custom name for the session state table. By default, the table is named session_state_ephemeral, but this can now be overridden as needed.
Idempotent Session State Table Creation: Ensured that the session state table (whether default or custom) is created in a safe, idempotent manner. A TEMP table with the name session_state_ephemeral (or the specified table name) is created using the schema: CREATE TABLE "session_state_ephemeral" (KEY, VALUE).
