Release of version 1.2.0, 1.2.1 and SPPCheck 1.0.0

[NielsKorschinsky]

Release of SPPCheck version 1.0.0 Note that this release does not include code documentation yet. It must still be transferred from the masters thesis into code documentation later on.

[1.2.1] - 2022-08-21

Added

• Release of SPPCheck v1.0.0
  • Its changes will be logged within this file
  • SPPCheck function and internal structure
  • Added Grafana Dashboard for SPPCheck

Changed

• Upgraded CodeQL to v3
• Extended SppUtils.mk_logger_file method by an logger_dir argument to allow different log files for SPPMon and SPPCheck
  • Added "sppcheckLogs" to the gitignore file.
• Moved all cSpell settings from the workspace file to the settings file
• Removed/Moved total count of exceptions during execution
• Moved verbose setting of sub-modules into init method to avoid issues and clarify program structure
• Error-Messages now have the prefix "ERROR: "
• Added InfluxClient function "get_list_rp" to query all retention policies, moving it out of existing functionality

Fixed

• Code scanning alert #2 and #3: Printing passwords into logger due to an faulty if-expression.
• CheckPID file now uses the class-verbose setting and no longer ARGS-Verbose, making it independent of actual args.
• Fixed PID file checks under windows
• Fixed PID file entries not being deleted.
• Removed unnecessary and confusing check when creating a SelectionQuery

Known Issues

• SPPCheck lacks a lot of documentation, which is to be delivered on a later date.

[1.2.0] - 2022-06-17

Added

• Adds FullLogs and LoadedSystem information to the Grafana SPPMon Runtime Duration panel.
• Adds clarification that all timestamps are changed into second precision on insert.
• Adds support for batch insert to insert into a different retention policy
• Selection queries now also support an alternative retention policy to query from
• CreateRP-Method in the influxClient to allow creating non-lasting retention policies
• Adds pandas-stubs, openpyxl and pyxlsb to requirements file
• Prints total count of errors during the execution if there are any - instead of "script finished" output
• Added type spelling dictionary to the settings file
• Added linting settings to the settings file
• Added two new tables to the definitions.py file which are only executed if SPPCheck is executed.

Changed

• Moved pid files-functions and other functions from SPPMon to helper functions.
  • Adjusted log messages to make their message generic if required.
  • Added arguments to replace self-access.
• Changed default log and pid-file locations from home/sppmonLogs/FILE to spectrum-protect-sppmon/sppmonLogs/FILE
• Added init declarations in the SPPMon __init__ function to allow overview of all self-vars
• Changed SelectionQueries to only take a single table instead of an List of such, as it isn't required and complicates the code
• Predefined retention policies are no longer protected in the definitions module.
• Sending a select query now raises a error when it fails.
• Allows SelectionQueries from table to be another inner-selection query
  • Changed all calls of the constructor
  • Made sure to only allow inner queries when using the selection-keyword.
• Changed the severity of unknown type-annotation due to submodules not being typed from error to warning.
• Minor printing edits when generifing Dashboard
• Removes deprecated functions

Fixed

• Fixed typo in exception_utils.py file, renaming it and all references on it.
• Lots of typos in the inline documentation
• SelectionQuery and associated methods: Introduces Optional annotation to fix linter error

Known Issues

• In newer Grafana versions the dashboard import might corrupt the datasource name. A fix is unavailable yet, though the error is only visual.
• Some typos in the table definitions (commited / uncommited) cannot be fixed. This would not be backward-compatible and break the database.

I've tested the --all execution on two systems, thus releasing it now onto the masters branch.
