OpAMP agent setting to disable remote management of monitoringjobs receiver #1271

@portertech

Description

@portertech

We are actively developing the monitoringjobs receiver which schedules the execution of local host commands. We are concerned that this receiver introduces a potential security risk when combined with remote management. In order to control the risk, we need to add a OpAMP agent setting to enable the remote management of the monitoringjobs receiver(s).

Possible Implementations

Inspect ALLOW/DENY Remote Configuration

  • Update OpAMP agent extension to inspect received remote configuration contents
  • By default, reject remote configuration that contains one or more instances of the monitoringjobs receiver
  • Also reject remote configuration that contains one or more instances of the receivercreator receiver that manages one or more instances of the monitoringjobs receiver
  • Add a extension setting to allow the remote configuration of the monitoringjobs receiver
  • Consider denying the remote management of the receivercreator receiver altogether
