.. zeek:namespace:: Supervisor

The Zeek process supervision API.
This API was introduced in Zeek 3.1.0 and considered unstable until 4.0.0.
That is, it may change in various incompatible ways without warning or
deprecation until the stable 4.0.0 release.

      name: :zeek:type:`string`
         The name of the supervised node.  These are unique within a given
         supervised process tree and typically human-readable.

      interface: :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
         The interface name from which the node will read/analyze packets.

      directory: :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
         The working directory that the node should use.

      stdout_file: :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
         The filename/path to which the node's stdout will be redirected.

      stderr_file: :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
         The filename/path to which the node's stderr will be redirected.

      bare_mode: :zeek:type:`bool` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
         Whether to start the node in bare mode. When left out, the node
         inherits the bare-mode status the supervisor itself runs with.

      scripts: :zeek:type:`vector` of :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&default` = ``[]`` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
         Additional script filenames/paths that the node should load.

         The Cluster Layout definition.  Each node in the Cluster Framework
         knows about the full, static cluster topology to which it belongs.
         Entries use node names for keys.  The Supervisor framework will
         automatically translate this table into the right Cluster Framework
         configuration when spawning supervised-nodes.  E.g. it will
         populate the both the CLUSTER_NODE environment variable and
         :zeek:see:`Cluster::nodes` table.

         be initialized if the process has not yet started.
