Scott Gress 24e5baf21f Only collect data about tracked CVEs (#45247)
<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or
remove if NA -->
**Related issue:** Resolves #45163 

# Details

Limits CVE data collection to only those CVEs which we report on in the
chart. This is a performance optimization necessitated by the large
amount of data that bigger fleets may generate. The plan is to implement
a data compression strategy so that we can go back to collecting full
CVE data soon.

Scott Gress 684becade8 Allow disabling chart datasets: backend (#44769)
<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or
remove if NA -->
**Related issue:** For #44077 

# Details

This PR implements enforcement of the "disable dataset" feature.  

When a dataset is disabled globally, we:

* Stop collecting all data for that dataset (the `Collect` method for
that dataset is not called in the cron job)
* Remove all previously-collected data for the dataset via an
asynchronous job

When a dataset is disabled for one or more fleets, we:

* Provide the list of disabled fleets as an argument to each dataset's
`Collect` method. Each dataset is responsible for filtering out hosts in
the most efficient way possible
* Scrub the data for the relevant datasets using a bitmask, so that all
hosts from the disabled fleets are removed from the data. This is done
via an asynchronous job.

(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)

- [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

  ### Prerequisites / Test Setup

- [ ] Fleet running with at least 3 teams (call them T1, T2, T3) and ≥3
hosts in each, plus ≥2 hosts with no team
- [ ] At least one host on each team has reported recent uptime (within
the bucket window)
- [ ] At least one host in each team is affected by a tracked CVE (so
`host_scd_data` for `dataset='cve'` will have non-empty bitmaps)
- [ ] AppConfig: both `features.historical_data.uptime` and
`features.historical_data.vulnerabilities` start as `true`; same for
every team
- [ ] Let the collection cron run at least one full tick to populate
baseline rows in `host_scd_data` for both `uptime` and `cve`
- [ ] Note the current row count per dataset: `SELECT dataset, COUNT(*)
FROM host_scd_data GROUP BY dataset;`

  ---

  ### 1. Cron Skips Globally-Disabled Datasets

  #### 1.1 Global disable of `uptime`

- [x] Disable globally: `PATCH /api/v1/fleet/config` with
`features.historical_data.uptime = false`
- [x] Verify activity feed shows `disabled_historical_dataset` for
`uptime` (existing behavior)
- [x] Wait for next collection tick (or trigger it via fleetctl debug if
available)
  - [x] Confirm **no new rows** appear for `dataset='uptime'`:
`SELECT MAX(valid_from) FROM host_scd_data WHERE dataset='uptime';`
        should not advance after the disable
- [x] Confirm cron still writes `cve` rows on the same tick (per-dataset
isolation)
  - [x] Re-enable: PATCH `historical_data.uptime = true`
  - [x] Verify next tick resumes writing `uptime` rows

  #### 1.2 Global disable of `vulnerabilities`

  - [x] Repeat 1.1 with `features.historical_data.vulnerabilities`
  - [x] Confirm `cve` writes stop, `uptime` continues

  #### 1.3 Both disabled globally

  - [x] Disable both globally
  - [x] Confirm cron tick produces zero new rows for either dataset
  - [x] Confirm cron does not error or get stuck
  - [x] Re-enable both

  ---

  ### 2. Per-Fleet Disable — Cron Filters at SQL

  #### 2.1 Single team disabled for one dataset

  - [x] Disable uptime for T1 only: PATCH team T1 with
        `features.historical_data.uptime = false`
- [x] Verify scoped `disabled_historical_dataset` activity emitted for
T1
  - [x] Wait for next cron tick / trigger cron
- [x] Pick a host known to be in T1 (call it `H_T1`); confirm its bit is
NOT set in any `uptime` row written *after* the disable by filtering the
chart to that host
- [x] Pick a host in T2 (`H_T2`); confirm its bit IS still set in the
same rows (T2 is not disabled)
- [x] Pick a no-team host (`H_none`); confirm its bit IS still set
(no-team hosts follow the global value)

  #### 2.2 Same fleet, different dataset

- [x] With T1's uptime disabled, confirm T1's hosts ARE still written
into `cve` rows on subsequent ticks (per-dataset isolation)

  #### 2.3 All teams disabled, global on, no-team hosts

  - [x] Disable uptime on every team (T1, T2, T3)
- [x] Confirm next tick still writes a row containing only no-team
hosts' bits (global is on, no-team hosts always count)
  - [x] Re-enable uptime on all teams

  ---

  ### 3. Global Scrub — DELETE

  #### 3.1 Successful global scrub

  - [x] Note baseline:
        `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM host_scd_data WHERE dataset='uptime';`
        (should be > 5000 to exercise the loop; if not, manually
        insert filler rows or run multiple cron ticks)
  - [x] Disable uptime globally via the API
  - [x] Wait for the worker to pick up the scrub / trigger the job
  - [x] Confirm the count drops to 0:
        `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM host_scd_data WHERE dataset='uptime';`
  - [x] Confirm rows for **other datasets** are untouched
  - [ ] Test again but disable via GitOps

  ---

  ### 4. Per-Fleet Scrub — ANDNOT

  #### 4.1 Single-fleet scrub clears bits

  - [x] Identify hosts in T1 and record their IDs (call this set `S`)
- [x] Pre-disable, confirm at least one `host_scd_data` row for
`dataset='uptime'` has bits set at positions in `S` by filtering the
chart to those hosts
  - [x] Disable uptime on T1 only, via the API
  - [x] Wait for the scrub to run / trigger it
- [x] Confirm: every existing row for `dataset='uptime'` now has NO bits
set at any position in `S`. Spot-check by filtering the chart to those
hosts
- [x] Confirm rows for `dataset='cve'` (different dataset) are untouched
  - [x] Confirm bits for hosts in T2/T3 (not disabled) are still set
  - [x] Run test again but disable via GitOps

  #### 4.2 Multi-fleet scrub via GitOps batch

- [x] Apply a GitOps spec that flips cve to false on T1 and T3 in a
single apply
  - [x] Wait for scrub(s) to complete
- [x] Confirm bits for the union of T1∪T2 hosts are cleared from every
row of `dataset='cve'`
  - [x] Confirm T2 hosts' bits remain set

  ---

  ### 5. Activity Feed Cross-Check

  - [x] Each global flip emits exactly one `disabled_historical_dataset`
        activity (existing behavior, unchanged)
  - [x] Each per-team flip emits one scoped activity with the team's
        ID and name
  - [x] PATCH submitting unchanged values emits **no** activity and
        causes **no** scrub (no `host_scd_data` data change observed
        after the cron tick)
  - [x] No new "scrub completed" or "scrub started" activity is
        emitted (out of scope for v1)
  - [x] Re-enable flips emit `enabled_historical_dataset` activities
        and do NOT emit any scrub-related activity

  ---

  ### 6. Regression Spot Checks

  - [x] With everything enabled (default), the chart UI renders the
        same data as before this change (no behavior change in the
        "all on" case)
  - [x] AppConfig YAML round-trip (`fleetctl apply`) is benign:
        applying the unchanged config produces no scrub jobs and no
        activities
  - [x] GitOps apply with `historical_data` omitted from team specs
        defaults to `true` (per the gitops-api change) and does not
        trigger spurious scrubs
  - [x] After a full disable+scrub of cve, the `host_scd_data` table
        has no `dataset='cve'` rows; the chart UI for "vulnerable
        hosts over time" shows an empty/zero state without errors

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Chart collection now supports per-dataset scoping and honors
team-level disables; new scrub jobs are registered and worker handlers
added.
* New dataset scrub operations: global and fleet-scoped scrubs; scrubs
can be enqueued and are deduplicated to avoid duplicate pending jobs.
Historical-data changes enqueue scrubs after save (errors logged,
non-blocking).
* **Tests**
* Added unit tests for scope resolution, scrub enqueue/dedup behavior,
scrub workers, scrub application, and low-level blob scrub logic.
* **Documentation**
  * Added OpenSpec metadata for the chart scrub change.

Scott Gress 4334017b38 Add Vulnerabilities exposure dataset (#44124)
<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or
remove if NA -->
**Related issue:** For #43769

# Details

Adds methods to collect data for the `cve` dataset. As with all sets
this is collected at hourly granularity, but unlike the `uptime` set,
the `cve` set uses the "snapshot" strategy so that we record at most one
change (the most recent) per hour.

For this first iteration, we are _recording_ data for all CVEs (i.e.,
which hosts were exposed to which CVEs at a given time), but we are only
_reporting_ a subset of CVEs for the dashboard chart. See [this
comment](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/44124#discussion_r3155554405)
for more info.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Host vulnerability (CVE) chart added to the dashboard; CVE chart data
collection is now active.
  * Critical CVE tracking surfaces high-severity vulnerabilities.

* **Improvements**
* CVE chart refreshes every 3 hours (was daily) for more timely
insights.
* Snapshot collection reconciles and closes prior data during empty runs
to keep charts accurate.
* CVE queries may produce zero datapoints when no tracked CVEs exist,
without affecting other metrics.

Scott Gress 28908e6083 Dashboard charts backend (#43910)
<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or
remove if NA -->
**Related issue:** For #42812 

# Details

This PR implements a new bounded context, `chart`, with a single
endpoint `/charts`. The context encompasses a framework for recording
and querying and aggregating historical data for Fleet hosts, and
returning that data via the API for the purpose of charting.

This initial iteration has a full implementation of a dataset called
"uptime" which captures which hosts were online hour-by-hour (online
meaning, having been "seen" at some point during that hour). It has a
partial implementation of a "cve" dataset which will capture which hosts
were vulnerable to which CVEs during a given day.

### Data storage

Data is stored in an SCD (slowly-changing dimension) format in the
`host_scd_data` table, where the main "value" in a row is stored in the
`host_bitmap` column, which is a `mediumblob` where each bit encodes a
host ID (bit one represents host ID 1, bit 1444 represents host ID 1444,
etc.). The set of bits set on a row represents that hosts for which that
dataset is "on" during a given time period represented by the
`valid_from` (inclusive) and `valid_to` (exclusive) dates, where a
`valid_to` can have the special "sentinel" value 9999-12-31T00:00:00.000
meaning that the row is still "open" (the value represents everything
from `valid_from` to the present). Additionally an `entity_id` column
can be used for datasets with multiple dimensions, e.g. CVE exposure or
software usage which would have entity IDs representing CVEs or software
items respectively.

### Data collection

Data is collected via a cron job that runs every 10 minutes. Each
dataset has its own `Collect` method which will sample the data for the
given moment. For example the "uptime" dataset gathers the set of hosts
that are online at the moment, and the "cve" dataset will gather the set
of hosts that are vulnerable to each CVE at that moment. The sample can
then be recorded using one of two strategies:

* `accumulate`: bitwise OR the sample with any data already recorded for
the current hour, or add a new pre-closed row for that hour.
* `snapshot`: if there is no open row, create one with the sample and
`valid_to set` to the sentinel. Otherwise:
  * If the sample has the same value as the current open row, do nothing
* If the sample has a different value and the current open row's
`valid_from` is within the same hour, update the current row's value
* If the sample has a different value and the current open row's
`valid_from` is not within the same hour, close the current open row and
start a new one with `valid_from` = the start of the current hour

### Data retrieval 

1. Gets the set of host IDs to retrieve data for. This starts with the
set of host IDs in the requested fleet (or all the hosts a user has
access to if no `fleet_id` param was passed to the `/charts` endpoint),
and further whittled down by any filter options supplied with the
request (labels, platforms, etc.).
2. Finds all `host_scd_data` rows for the requested dataset and date
range (i.e. all rows whose `valid_from` is < the date range end and
`valid_to` is > the date range start).
3. Calculates the date ranges of the "buckets" to return datapoints for.
For the uptime chart we default to 3-hour buckets, so we want 8 buckets
per day.
4. Iterates over each bucket and finds the row or rows from
host_scd_data that cover that bucket range. For datasets using the
"accumulate" strategy, the values for those rows are ORed together. For
"snapshot"s, we take the one active at the bucket end time to represent
the bucket (e.g. "which hosts had a given CVE at the end of the day")

### Tools

This PR includes two dev tools that don't require deep review:

* **chart-backfill** - used to backfill data to various datasets for
testing
* **charts-collect** - used to collect data from a live server via the
API and put into a local hosts_scd_data table
