# Concelier CCCS Connector Operations This runbook covers day‑to‑day operation of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (`source:cccs:*`) connector, including configuration, telemetry, and historical backfill guidance for English/French advisories. ## 1. Configuration Checklist - Network egress (or mirrored cache) for `https://www.cyber.gc.ca/` and the JSON API endpoints under `/api/cccs/`. - Set the Concelier options before restarting workers. Example `concelier.yaml` snippet: ```yaml concelier: sources: cccs: feeds: - language: "en" uri: "https://www.cyber.gc.ca/api/cccs/threats/v1/get?lang=en&content_type=cccs_threat" - language: "fr" uri: "https://www.cyber.gc.ca/api/cccs/threats/v1/get?lang=fr&content_type=cccs_threat" maxEntriesPerFetch: 80 # increase temporarily for backfill runs maxKnownEntries: 512 requestTimeout: "00:00:30" requestDelay: "00:00:00.250" failureBackoff: "00:05:00" ``` > ℹ️ The `/api/cccs/threats/v1/get` endpoint returns thousands of records per language (≈5 100 rows each as of 2025‑10‑14). The connector honours `maxEntriesPerFetch`, so leave it low for steady‑state and raise it for planned backfills. ## 2. Telemetry & Logging - **Metrics (Meter `StellaOps.Concelier.Connector.Cccs`):** - `cccs.fetch.attempts`, `cccs.fetch.success`, `cccs.fetch.failures` - `cccs.fetch.documents`, `cccs.fetch.unchanged` - `cccs.parse.success`, `cccs.parse.failures`, `cccs.parse.quarantine` - `cccs.map.success`, `cccs.map.failures` - **Shared HTTP metrics** via `SourceDiagnostics`: - `concelier.source.http.requests{concelier.source="cccs"}` - `concelier.source.http.failures{concelier.source="cccs"}` - `concelier.source.http.duration{concelier.source="cccs"}` - **Structured logs** - `CCCS fetch completed feeds=… items=… newDocuments=… pendingDocuments=…` - `CCCS parse completed parsed=… failures=…` - `CCCS map completed mapped=… failures=…` - Warnings fire when GridFS payloads/DTOs go missing or parser sanitisation fails. Suggested Grafana alerts: - `increase(cccs.fetch.failures_total[15m]) > 0` - `rate(cccs.map.success_total[1h]) == 0` while other connectors are active - `histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(concelier_source_http_duration_bucket{concelier_source="cccs"}[1h])) > 5s` ## 3. Historical Backfill Plan 1. **Snapshot the source** – the API accepts `page=` and `lang=` query parameters. `page=0` returns the full dataset (observed earliest `date_created`: 2018‑06‑08 for EN, 2018‑06‑08 for FR). Mirror those responses into Offline Kit storage when operating air‑gapped. 2. **Stage ingestion**: - Temporarily raise `maxEntriesPerFetch` (e.g. 500) and restart Concelier workers. - Run chained jobs until `pendingDocuments` drains: `stella db jobs run source:cccs:fetch --and-then source:cccs:parse --and-then source:cccs:map` - Monitor `cccs.fetch.unchanged` growth; once it approaches dataset size the backfill is complete. 3. **Optional pagination sweep** – for incremental mirrors, iterate `page=` (0…N) while `response.Count == 50`, persisting JSON to disk. Store alongside metadata (`language`, `page`, SHA256) so repeated runs detect drift. 4. **Language split** – keep EN/FR payloads separate to preserve canonical language fields. The connector emits `Language` directly from the feed entry, so mixed ingestion simply produces parallel advisories keyed by the same serial number. 5. **Throttle planning** – schedule backfills during maintenance windows; the API tolerates burst downloads but respect the 250 ms request delay or raise it if mirrored traffic is not available. ## 4. Selector & Sanitiser Notes - `CccsHtmlParser` now parses the **unsanitised DOM** (via AngleSharp) and only sanitises when persisting `ContentHtml`. - Product extraction walks headings (`Affected Products`, `Produits touchés`, `Mesures recommandées`) and consumes nested lists within `div/section/article` containers. - `HtmlContentSanitizer` allows `

` and `
` so stored HTML keeps headings for UI rendering and downstream summarisation. ## 5. Fixture Maintenance - Regression fixtures live in `src/Concelier/__Tests/StellaOps.Concelier.Connector.Cccs.Tests/Fixtures`. - Refresh via `UPDATE_CCCS_FIXTURES=1 dotnet test src/Concelier/__Tests/StellaOps.Concelier.Connector.Cccs.Tests/StellaOps.Concelier.Connector.Cccs.Tests.csproj`. - Fixtures capture both EN/FR advisories with nested lists to guard against sanitiser regressions; review diffs for heading/list changes before committing.
