Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the container plugin change because it alters Collector’s container identity, event filtering, packaging, and process handling to address a reported Falco-related performance regression. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change restores container-based event filtering, but its host-rejection and container-acceptance behavior is not covered by the current test. A faulty filter could allow host events through or suppress container events, so this should be validated before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Stop the cgroup scan at the first extracted ID.
FindContainerID assigns state->container_id for every cgroup entry and always continues. The thread cgroups table contains one entry per subsystem, so the last iterated entry wins. If a trailing entry does not parse as a container path, ContainerIDFromCgroup returns "" and overwrites an ID that an earlier subsystem produced. CacheContainerID then stores the host sentinel for a real container thread, and the container.id != host filter drops its events.
Keep the first non-empty result and stop the iteration. Early stop makes iterate_entries return false, so track success with an explicit flag instead of the return value at Line 62.

Falco plugin API write_entry_field string copy semantics and default value of an unwritten dynamic string table field in libsinsp
💡 Result:
In the Falco plugin API, the write_entry_field function is used to update an entry's field [1][2]. When dealing with dynamic string table fields in libsinsp, the semantics for writing string data involve passing a pointer to the data through the ss_plugin_state_data structure [1][2]. Regarding your specific questions: 1. String Copy Semantics: When you provide a string to write_entry_field, the underlying implementation in libsinsp typically performs a copy of the string data into the storage owned by the table entry [3]. The plugin does not need to maintain the memory after the write_entry_field call returns; the table takes ownership of the copied string data within its internal state representation [3]. 2. Default Value of Unwritten Dynamic String Fields: For dynamic string fields that have not yet been written to, the libsinsp state management implementation defaults these values to an empty string ("") [3]. When reading an unwritten string field (e.g., via read_field or internal state accessors), the implementation returns a pointer to an empty string or an empty string object, ensuring that read operations on unwritten fields do not result in null pointer dereferences or undefined behavior [3]. These behaviors are consistent with the design of the state access layer in libsinsp, which manages field storage and provides safe accessors for both static and dynamic fields [3][4].

site:github.com/falcosecurity/libs write_entry_field ss_plugin_table_writer_vtable_ext implementation dynamic string field default
💡 Result:
In the context of the Falco plugin API, the write_entry_field function is a member of the ss_plugin_table_writer_vtable (and its extensions) [1]. It is responsible for updating a specific field within a table entry [1]. When working with dynamic string fields or other data types, the implementation involves using the ss_plugin_state_data union to pass the new value [2]. Specifically: 1. Identification: You must first obtain the ss_plugin_table_field_t accessor for the desired field, typically during the plugin_init phase [1]. 2. Value Preparation: To set a value, you populate an ss_plugin_state_data union [2]. For a string field, you set the str member to point to the null-terminated string [2]. 3. Execution: You invoke the write_entry_field function, passing the target table (ss_plugin_table_t*), the specific entry (ss_plugin_table_entry_t*), the field accessor (ss_plugin_table_field_t*), and the data union (ss_plugin_state_data*) [1]. 4. Return Code: The function returns SS_PLUGIN_SUCCESS if the update is successful, or SS_PLUGIN_FAILURE otherwise [1]. There is no specific "default" implementation for this function provided by the API itself; rather, it is a callback that the plugin developer must utilize as part of the vtable structure provided by the host (libsinsp) to interact with state tables [1][3]. The actual data storage and management for these fields are handled by the libsinsp state engine [4].

Initialize container_id for every thread entry before extraction.
write_entry_field copies the string value, so the local id.c_str() remains safe. However, plugin_parse_event returns success when the thread entry is absent, and plugin_extract_fields can later read an unwritten dynamic string field. libsinsp defaults that field to "", while collector/lib/Utility.cpp recognizes only "host" as the host sentinel. An uncached host thread can therefore be emitted as "" and pass container.id != host. Cache the ID on demand in plugin_extract_fields, or map an empty cached value to "host".

Why do we even need ExtractContainerIDFromCgroup here anymore? Why not just call container_plugin::ExtractContainerIDFromCgroup wherever it is needed?

Why do we need chroot? Can it somehow change the cgroups a process belongs to?

If we can't initialize the filter where we used to as I asked on a previous comment, can we at least create a helper method?

Description
To fix the performance regression following the falco update, this PR adds a custom container plugin which is responsible for computing and caching the container ID for each thread. By supporting the plugin system in this way, we can reintroduce the container.id != host filter, which ensures process filtering much earlier, before they get to Collector itself.

Testing Performed
CI tests should be enough; particularly host process test and test process network. Manually run these tests locally (x86) with success.
