kino

SG Universe trivia

In Stargate Universe, a kino is a small Ancient reconnaissance drone. It can scout ahead (including through a Stargate), record audio/video, and send footage back to the crew on Destiny.

Project description

kino is a Rust probe service for ephemeral VM checks in intar-dev/intar-dev.

• HCL-defined probes, async scraping, in-memory state, protobuf GET /probes, no auth.

Implemented probe types:

• file_exists
• file_regex_capture
• port_open
• k8s_pod_state
• command_json_path

Operational model:

• Designed to run as a systemd service (kino --config /etc/kino/kino.hcl)
• Includes Docker-based smoke testing for both the probe service and SSH recording flows
• Smoke Dockerfiles live under docker/smoke/
• CI runs just check and just docker-smoke in one pipeline

Example NetBird probes:

probe "netbird_peer_connected" {
  kind = "command_json_path"
  argv = ["netbird", "status", "--json"]
  json_path = "$.peers.connected"
  expected = 1
}

probe "netbird_ssh_enabled" {
  kind = "command_json_path"
  argv = ["netbird", "status", "--json"]
  json_path = "$.sshServer.enabled"
  expected = true
}

probe "netbird_active_ssh_session" {
  kind = "command_json_path"
  argv = ["netbird", "status", "--json"]
  json_path = "$.sshServer.sessions[*].remoteAddress"
}

command_json_path requires the command to exit successfully, parses stdout as JSON, evaluates the JSONPath, and either checks for any match or an exact JSON value match when expected is set.
