Replace logging with std::format std::format is a much more modern logging solution, and gives us a lot more flexibility, and better compile times when doing logging. Unfortunately, given its level of compile time checks, it needs to be a method, instead of the stream style logging we had before. This requires a pretty substantial change. Fortunately, this change can be largely automated, via the script included in this commit under scripts/replace_logs.py. This is to aid people in moving their patchsets over to the new form in the short period where old patches will be based on the old logging. The intention is that this script eventually goes away. The old style logging (stream based) looked like. BMCWEB_LOG_DEBUG << "Foo " << foo; The new equivalent of the above would be: BMCWEB_LOG_DEBUG("Foo {}", foo); In the course of doing this, this also cleans up several ignored linter errors, including macro usage, and array to pointer deconstruction. Note, This patchset does remove the timestamp from the log message. In practice, this was duplicated between journald and bmcweb, and there's no need for both to exist. One design decision of note is the addition of logPtr. Because the compiler can't disambiguate between const char* and const MyThing*, it's necessary to add an explicit cast to void*. This is identical to how fmt handled it. Tested: compiled with logging meson_option enabled, and launched bmcweb Saw the usual logging, similar to what was present before: ``` [Error include/webassets.hpp:60] Unable to find or open /usr/share/www/ static file hosting disabled [Debug include/persistent_data.hpp:133] Restored Session Timeout: 1800 [Debug redfish-core/include/event_service_manager.hpp:671] Old eventService config not exist [Info src/webserver_main.cpp:59] Starting webserver on port 18080 [Error redfish-core/include/event_service_manager.hpp:1301] inotify_add_watch failed for redfish log file.

This component attempts to be a "do everything" embedded webserver for OpenBMC.
The webserver implements a few distinct interfaces:
bmcweb at a protocol level supports http and https. TLS is supported through OpenSSL.
Bmcweb supports multiple authentication protocols:
Each of these types of authentication is able to be enabled or disabled both via runtime policy changes (through the relevant Redfish APIs) or via configure time options. All authentication mechanisms supporting username/password are routed to libpam, to allow for customization in authentication implementations.
All authorization in bmcweb is determined at routing time, and per route, and conform to the Redfish PrivilegeRegistry.
*Note: Non-Redfish functions are mapped to the closest equivalent Redfish privilege level.
bmcweb is configured per the meson build files. Available options are documented in meson_options.txt
meson setup builddir ninja -C builddir
If any of the dependencies are not found on the host system during configuration, meson will automatically download them via its wrap dependencies mentioned in bmcweb/subprojects
.
bmcweb relies on some on-system data for storage of persistent data that is internal to the process. Details on the exact data stored and when it is read/written can seen from the persistent_data
namespace.
When SSL support is enabled and a usable certificate is not found, bmcweb will generate a self-signed a certificate before launching the server. Please see the bmcweb source code for details on the parameters this certificate is built with.
bmcweb is capable of aggregating resources from satellite BMCs. Refer to AGGREGATION.md for more information on how to enable and use this feature.
