gRPC / proto
- Rename WatchBackendEvents → WatchEvents; return a stream of Event
oneof (LogEvent, BackendEvent, FrontendEvent) with optional filter
flags (log, log_level, backend, frontend)
- Add EnableBackend, DisableBackend, SetFrontendPoolBackendWeight RPCs
- Rename PauseResumeRequest → BackendRequest
- Add CheckConfig RPC returning ok/parse_error/semantic_error
maglevd
- Route slog through a LogBroadcaster (slog.Handler) so WatchEvents
subscribers can receive structured log records independently of the
daemon's own --log-level
- Add --reflection flag (default true) to toggle gRPC server reflection
- Add --check flag: validates config file and exits 0/1/2
- SIGHUP: use config.Check before applying reload; log parse vs semantic
error separately; refuse reload on any error
- Rename default config path /etc/maglev → /etc/vpp-maglev
maglevc
- Add 'watch events [num <n>] [log [level <level>]] [backend] [frontend]'
command; prints compact protojson, stops on any keypress or Ctrl-C;
uses cbreak mode (not raw) so output post-processing is preserved
- Add 'set backend <name> enable|disable'
- Add 'set frontend <name> pool <pool> backend <name> weight <0-100>'
- Add 'config check' command
Debian packaging
- Rename service unit to vpp-maglevd.service
- Rename conffiles to /etc/default/vpp-maglev and /etc/vpp-maglev/
- Create maglevd system user/group in postinst; add to vpp group if present
- Add postrm; add adduser to Depends
