What this PR does / why we need it:
Since being ported from Lua to C++, the Falco rule loader supported defining a
source
field in both rules and macros, meant to define compatibility with a specific event source. However, having source definitions in macros is not meaningful, and also the current implementation does not enforce any check during ruleset compilation (it just reads the value from the YAML). On the opposite, I think not defining a source for macros is the way to go. This would enable ruleset developers to create cross-source macros (for example, thejson
plugin can be used to build macros that are valid for all the json-based event sources such ascloudtrail
andk8s_audit
). As such, this PR drops the notion of macro-specific source and its related regression tests.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
