Today’s Development Updates: Analytics, GPRC & Security Improvements
What developments have taken place today?
This commit improved the accuracy of client IP address capture in analytics data by utilizing a helper function, helper.GetRealAddr(c.Request), instead of directly accessing c.ClientIP(). This enhancement provides a more reliable source of client IP information.
A new type parameter has been introduced and implemented across several functions, including BuildUrl, BuildStatsUrl, BuildUrlTableData, prepareAnalyticsData, getSearchConfig(), and updateChartSelect. This allows for differentiated analytics data transmission to the gRPC server based on a specified type. The update also includes error handling within the URL construction process and validation of user-selected values from an HTML element.
The configuration file has been updated to include a gRPC token, facilitating communication with the gRPC service. Furthermore, changes have been made to the gRPC connection string and authorization header – specifically, shifting the server address and updating the x-authorization metadata for enhanced security and connectivity. A short delay is implemented before attempting to establish a gRPC connection.
These combined modifications represent significant improvements by enabling flexible analytics data transmission, enhancing data reliability, strengthening security protocols, and streamlining communication with the gRPC service.
