[Intelmq-dev] Some beta features available

[Sebastian Wagner]

Dear developers and "pro-users",

In the current (beta) version and develop branch of intelmq there are
currently four optional features which are not considered stable yet and
thus marked as beta. All of them need more testing, development and your
feedback!

# AMQP as broker

It is now possible to use AMQP instead of Redis as broker. This is
especially useful if you need to send data between servers or even
organisations as RabbitMQ (one implementation of the AMQP protocol)
supports encryption, authentication etc. Also, you have some more
monitoring included as RabbitMQ provides statistics for all the queues.
However, it is expected to be slower than Redis as it has more overhead.

# Supervisor as process manager

Instead of the internal pid-based process management, you can now use
supervisor.

Documentation:
https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/blob/develop/docs/User-Guide.md#using-supervisor-as-process-manager-beta

# Multithreading

Basic multithreading for all bots has been implemented, you can use the
parameter `instances_threads` to spawn multiple threads of one bot.

See also the documentation and some cavecats in the User Guide:
https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/blob/develop/docs/User-Guide.md#multithreading-beta

One of the current bugs is that you need to kill a bot multiple times:

# Statistics

While the statistcs function and code work fine, we are interested in
your feedback to improve this feature. The discussion take place here yet:
https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues/1274
So the "beta" character for this feature comes from the fact that it
might change. We also need some documentation on it.

Sebastian
