What does this PR do?

Fix issue introduced in 7.70.0 (#39028) that caused the Windows Event Log check and tailer to fail to load with the error EvtNext failed: This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

The fix moves bookmark initialization from the initial setup - which is run once and can cause the check/tailer to fail to start - into the subscription start loop - which is retried on failure. The user (check, tailer) no longer need to handle this bookmark logic, they just provide a Save/Load interface to the subscription.

Motivation

https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/browse/WINA-1890
fix bug

Describe how you validated your changes

unit / integration tests

bulk of changes are to test code. Since bookmark logic is now handled by the subscription, I added relevant tests there. They were previously only in check and tailer tests.

Additional Notes

This issue does not affect all Agents, it seems intermittent. It can only affect instances that use start_mode: now and do not have a current bookmark, this is what triggers the error from the new FromLatestEvent bookmark behavior. The cases we've seen all have a custom query config to match specific events, so it's more likely they won't have an existing bookmark. If the EventLog service does not respond immediately (timeout of 1 second) then the timeout error is returned.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".
