Description

Currently this script is in PHP and requires PHP. The rsyslog role is not compatible with the current Debian target (no yum).

It is installed by the rsyslog role:

It would make more sense to create a docker image that does all the log processing, i.e including: parse_ebauth_to_mysql.py and clean_loglogins.j2 and also include the stepup-authentication log so logins from direct SFO connections to the steup-gateway other that engine are also seen.

Research direction

Start with roles/rsyslog/tasks/process_auth_logs.yml and the referenced templates: process_lastseen.php.j2, parse_ebauth_to_mysql.py.j2, clean_loglogins.j2, and cron_update_lastseen.j2. Trace how the rsyslog role installs and runs them, then define the Docker image and deployment changes needed to consolidate log processing. Done means the PHP/YUM dependency is removed and the stepup-authentication log is included.
