Also update the Docs and fixup the HTTP API to return proper errors when someone attempts to use Namespaces with an OSS agent.
Add Namespace HTTP API docs
Make all API endpoints disallow unknown fields
The logic in parsing data files and converting them to data structures
accidentally removed healthchecks with no Name field, even though we
explicitly state in API documentation that is allowed.
We remove the check for "len(results.Checks) == 1" because if the length
of the array is more than 0, we know that it is not a zero value array.
This allows us to register a singular, unnamed check via the CLI.
Fixes#6796
Fixes: #5396
This PR adds a proxy configuration stanza called expose. These flags register
listeners in Connect sidecar proxies to allow requests to specific HTTP paths from outside of the node. This allows services to protect themselves by only
listening on the loopback interface, while still accepting traffic from non
Connect-enabled services.
Under expose there is a boolean checks flag that would automatically expose all
registered HTTP and gRPC check paths.
This stanza also accepts a paths list to expose individual paths. The primary
use case for this functionality would be to expose paths for third parties like
Prometheus or the kubelet.
Listeners for requests to exposed paths are be configured dynamically at run
time. Any time a proxy, or check can be registered, a listener can also be
created.
In this initial implementation requests to these paths are not
authenticated/encrypted.
Compiling this will set an optional SNI field on each DiscoveryTarget.
When set this value should be used for TLS connections to the instances
of the target. If not set the default should be used.
Setting ExternalSNI will disable mesh gateway use for that target. It also
disables several service-resolver features that do not make sense for an
external service.
Since generated envoy clusters all are named using (mostly) SNI syntax
we can have envoy read the various fields out of that structure and emit
it as stats labels to the various telemetry backends.
I changed the delimiter for the 'customization hash' from ':' to '~'
because ':' is always reencoded by envoy as '_' when generating metrics
keys.
Add parameter local-only to operator keyring list requests to force queries to only hit local servers (no WAN traffic).
HTTP API: GET /operator/keyring?local-only=true
CLI: consul keyring -list --local-only
Sending the local-only flag with any non-GET/list request will result in an error.
The json decoder inside of the HCLv1 hcl.Decode function behaves
unexpectedly when decoding generically into a map[string]interface{} as
is done for 'consul config write' pre-submit decoding.
This results in some subtle (service-router Match and Destinations being
separated) and some not so subtle (service-resolver subsets and failover
panic if multiple subsets are referenced) bugs when subsequently passed
through mapstructure to finish decoding.
Given that HCLv1 is basically frozen and the HCL part of it is fine
instead of trying to figure out what the underlying bug is in the json
decoder for our purposes just sniff the byte slice and selectively use
the stdlib json decoder for JSON and hcl decoder for HCL.
In addition to exposing compilation over the API cleaned up the structures that would be exchanged to be cleaner and easier to support and understand.
Also removed ability to configure the envoy OverprovisioningFactor.
All these changes should have no side-effects or change behavior:
- Use bytes.Buffer's String() instead of a conversion
- Use time.Since and time.Until where fitting
- Drop unnecessary returns and assignment
Both 'consul config write' and server bootstrap config entries take a
decoding detour through mapstructure on the way from HCL to an actual
struct. They both may take in snake_case or CamelCase (for consistency)
so need very similar handling.
Unfortunately since they are operating on mirror universes of structs
(api.* vs structs.*) the code cannot be identitical, so try to share the
kind-configuration and duplicate the rest for now.
* Ensure we MapWalk the proxy config in the NodeService and ServiceNode structs
This gets rid of some json encoder errors in the catalog endpoints

* Move map walking to the ConnectProxyConfig struct
Any place where this struct gets JSON encoded will benefit as opposed to having to implement it everywhere.

* Fix config formatting for envoy bootstrap tests
* Fix listeners test cases for bind addr/port
* Update website/source/docs/connect/proxies/envoy.md

* Minor API client fixes
* Attempt at some ConfigEntry api client tests
These don’t currently work due to weak typing in JSON
* Get some of the api client tests passing

Roles are named and can express the same bundle of permissions that can
currently be assigned to a Token (lists of Policies and Service
Identities). The difference with a Role is that it not itself a bearer
token, but just another entity that can be tied to a Token.
This lets an operator potentially curate a set of smaller reusable
Policies and compose them together into reusable Roles, rather than
always exploding that same list of Policies on any Token that needs
similar permissions.
This also refactors the acl replication code to be semi-generic to avoid
3x copypasta.
This is mainly to avoid having the API return "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" as
a value for the ExpirationTime field when it is not set. Unfortunately
time.Time doesn't respect the json marshalling "omitempty" directive.
These act like a special cased version of a Policy Template for granting
a token the privileges necessary to register a service and its connect
proxy, and read upstreams from the catalog.
* Move the watch package into the api module
It was already just a thin wrapper around the API anyways. The biggest change was to the testing. Instead of using a test agent directly from the agent package it now uses the binary on the PATH just like the other API tests.
The other big changes were to fix up the connect based watch tests so that we didn’t need to pull in the connect package (and therefore all of Consul)

# Data Filtering
This PR will implement filtering for the following endpoints:
## Supported HTTP Endpoints
- `/agent/checks`
- `/agent/services`
- `/catalog/nodes`
- `/catalog/service/:service`
- `/catalog/connect/:service`
- `/catalog/node/:node`
- `/health/node/:node`
- `/health/checks/:service`
- `/health/service/:service`
- `/health/connect/:service`
- `/health/state/:state`
- `/internal/ui/nodes`
- `/internal/ui/services`
More can be added going forward and any endpoint which is used to list some data is a good candidate.
## Usage
When using the HTTP API a `filter` query parameter can be used to pass a filter expression to Consul. Filter Expressions take the general form of:
```
<selector> == <value>
<selector> != <value>
<value> in <selector>
<value> not in <selector>
<selector> contains <value>
<selector> not contains <value>
<selector> is empty
<selector> is not empty
not <other expression>
<expression 1> and <expression 2>
<expression 1> or <expression 2>
```
Normal boolean logic and precedence is supported. All of the actual filtering and evaluation logic is coming from the [go-bexpr](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-bexpr) library
## Other changes
Adding the `Internal.ServiceDump` RPC endpoint. This will allow the UI to filter services better.
* First conversion
* Use serf 0.8.2 tag and associated updated deps
* * Move freeport and testutil into internal/
* Make internal/ its own module
* Update imports
* Add replace statements so API and normal Consul code are
self-referencing for ease of development
* Adapt to newer goe/values
* Bump to new cleanhttp
* Fix ban nonprintable chars test
* Update lock bad args test
The error message when the duration cannot be parsed changed in Go 1.12
(ae0c435877d3aacb9af5e706c40f9dddde5d3e67). This updates that test.
* Update another test as well
* Bump travis
* Bump circleci
* Bump go-discover and godo to get rid of launchpad dep
* Bump dockerfile go version
* fix tar command
* Bump go-cleanhttp
This PR adds two features which will be useful for operators when ACLs are in use.
1. Tokens set in configuration files are now reloadable.
2. If `acl.enable_token_persistence` is set to `true` in the configuration, tokens set via the `v1/agent/token` endpoint are now persisted to disk and loaded when the agent starts (or during configuration reload)
Note that token persistence is opt-in so our users who do not want tokens on the local disk will see no change.
Some other secondary changes:
* Refactored a bunch of places where the replication token is retrieved from the token store. This token isn't just for replicating ACLs and now it is named accordingly.
* Allowed better paths in the `v1/agent/token/` API. Instead of paths like: `v1/agent/token/acl_replication_token` the path can now be just `v1/agent/token/replication`. The old paths remain to be valid.
* Added a couple new API functions to set tokens via the new paths. Deprecated the old ones and pointed to the new names. The names are also generally better and don't imply that what you are setting is for ACLs but rather are setting ACL tokens. There is a minor semantic difference there especially for the replication token as again, its no longer used only for ACL token/policy replication. The new functions will detect 404s and fallback to using the older token paths when talking to pre-1.4.3 agents.
* Docs updated to reflect the API additions and to show using the new endpoints.
* Updated the ACL CLI set-agent-tokens command to use the non-deprecated APIs.
This way we can avoid unnecessary panics which cause other tests not to run.
This doesn't remove all the possibilities for panics causing other tests not to run, it just fixes the TestAgent
This endpoint aggregates all checks related to <service id> on the agent
and return an appropriate http code + the string describing the worst
check.
This allows to cleanly expose service status to other component, hiding
complexity of multiple checks.
This is especially useful to use consul to feed a load balancer which
would delegate health checking to consul agent.
Exposing this endpoint on the agent is necessary to avoid a hit on
consul servers and avoid decreasing resiliency (this endpoint will work
even if there is no consul leader in the cluster).

This PR is almost a complete rewrite of the ACL system within Consul. It brings the features more in line with other HashiCorp products. Obviously there is quite a bit left to do here but most of it is related docs, testing and finishing the last few commands in the CLI. I will update the PR description and check off the todos as I finish them over the next few days/week.
Description
At a high level this PR is mainly to split ACL tokens from Policies and to split the concepts of Authorization from Identities. A lot of this PR is mostly just to support CRUD operations on ACLTokens and ACLPolicies. These in and of themselves are not particularly interesting. The bigger conceptual changes are in how tokens get resolved, how backwards compatibility is handled and the separation of policy from identity which could lead the way to allowing for alternative identity providers.
On the surface and with a new cluster the ACL system will look very similar to that of Nomads. Both have tokens and policies. Both have local tokens. The ACL management APIs for both are very similar. I even ripped off Nomad's ACL bootstrap resetting procedure. There are a few key differences though.
Nomad requires token and policy replication where Consul only requires policy replication with token replication being opt-in. In Consul local tokens only work with token replication being enabled though.
All policies in Nomad are globally applicable. In Consul all policies are stored and replicated globally but can be scoped to a subset of the datacenters. This allows for more granular access management.
Unlike Nomad, Consul has legacy baggage in the form of the original ACL system. The ramifications of this are:
A server running the new system must still support other clients using the legacy system.
A client running the new system must be able to use the legacy RPCs when the servers in its datacenter are running the legacy system.
The primary ACL DC's servers running in legacy mode needs to be a gate that keeps everything else in the entire multi-DC cluster running in legacy mode.
So not only does this PR implement the new ACL system but has a legacy mode built in for when the cluster isn't ready for new ACLs. Also detecting that new ACLs can be used is automatic and requires no configuration on the part of administrators. This process is detailed more in the "Transitioning from Legacy to New ACL Mode" section below.

This will allow us to avoid a restart of a target agent
for profiling by always registering the pprof handlers.
Given this is a potentially sensitive path, it is protected
with an operator:read ACL and enable debug being
set to true on the target agent. enable_debug still requires
a restart.
If ACLs are disabled, enable_debug is sufficient.

These options allow for a finer control over when script checks are enabled by
giving the option to only allow them when they are declared from the local
file system.

Play a trick with CLOEXEC to pass the envoy bootstrap configuration as
an open file descriptor to the exec'd envoy process. The file only
briefly touches disk before being unlinked.
We convince envoy to read from this open file descriptor by using the
/dev/fd/$FDNUMBER mechanism to read the open file descriptor as a file.
Because the filename no longer has an extension envoy's sniffing logic
falls back on JSON instead of YAML, so the bootstrap configuration must
be generated as JSON instead.
* Plumb xDS server and proxyxfg into the agent startup
* Add `consul connect envoy` command to allow running Envoy as a connect sidecar.
* Add test for help tabs; typos and style fixups from review
- A new endpoint `/v1/agent/service/:service_id` which is a generic way to look up the service for a single instance. The primary value here is that it:
- **supports hash-based blocking** and so;
- **replaces `/agent/connect/proxy/:proxy_id`** as the mechanism the built-in proxy uses to read its config.
- It's not proxy specific and so works for any service.
- It has a temporary shim to call through to the existing endpoint to preserve current managed proxy config defaulting behaviour until that is removed entirely (tested).
- The built-in proxy now uses the new endpoint exclusively for it's config
- The built-in proxy now has a `-sidecar-for` flag that allows the service ID of the _target_ service to be specified, on the condition that there is exactly one "sidecar" proxy (that is one that has `Proxy.DestinationServiceID` set) for the service registered.
- Several fixes for edge cases for SidecarService
- A fix for `Alias` checks - when running locally they didn't update their state until some external thing updated the target. If the target service has no checks registered as below, then the alias never made it past critical.
* Refactor Service Definition ProxyDestination.
This includes:
- Refactoring all internal structs used
- Updated tests for both deprecated and new input for:
- Agent Services endpoint response
- Agent Service endpoint response
- Agent Register endpoint
- Unmanaged deprecated field
- Unmanaged new fields
- Managed deprecated upstreams
- Managed new
- Catalog Register
- Unmanaged deprecated field
- Unmanaged new fields
- Managed deprecated upstreams
- Managed new
- Catalog Services endpoint response
- Catalog Node endpoint response
- Catalog Service endpoint response
- Updated API tests for all of the above too (both deprecated and new forms of register)
TODO:
- config package changes for on-disk service definitions
- proxy config endpoint
- built-in proxy support for new fields
* Agent proxy config endpoint updated with upstreams
* Config file changes for upstreams.
* Add upstream opaque config and update all tests to ensure it works everywhere.
* Built in proxy working with new Upstreams config
* Command fixes and deprecations
* Fix key translation, upstream type defaults and a spate of other subtele bugs found with ned to end test scripts...
TODO: tests still failing on one case that needs a fix. I think it's key translation for upstreams nested in Managed proxy struct.
* Fix translated keys in API registration.
≈
* Fixes from docs
- omit some empty undocumented fields in API
- Bring back ServiceProxyDestination in Catalog responses to not break backwards compat - this was removed assuming it was only used internally.
* Documentation updates for Upstreams in service definition
* Fixes for tests broken by many refactors.
* Enable travis on f-connect branch in this branch too.
* Add consistent Deprecation comments to ProxyDestination uses
* Update version number on deprecation notices, and correct upstream datacenter field with explanation in docs
* Rename agent/proxy package to reflect that it is limited to managed proxy processes
Rationale: we have several other components of the agent that relate to Connect proxies for example the ProxyConfigManager component needed for Envoy work. Those things are pretty separate from the focus of this package so far which is only concerned with managing external proxy processes so it's nota good fit to put code for that in here, yet there is a naming clash if we have other packages related to proxy functionality that are not in the `agent/proxy` package.
Happy to bikeshed the name. I started by calling it `managedproxy` but `managedproxy.Manager` is especially unpleasant. `proxyprocess` seems good in that it's more specific about purpose but less clearly connected with the concept of "managed proxies". The names in use are cleaner though e.g. `proxyprocess.Manager`.
This rename was completed automatically using golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gomvpkg.
Depends on #4541
* Fix missed windows tagged files
* Implementation of Weights Data structures
Adding this datastructure will allow us to resolve the
issues #1088 and #4198
This new structure defaults to values:
```
{ Passing: 1, Warning: 0 }
```
Which means, use weight of 0 for a Service in Warning State
while use Weight 1 for a Healthy Service.
Thus it remains compatible with previous Consul versions.
* Implemented weights for DNS SRV Records
* DNS properly support agents with weight support while server does not (backwards compatibility)
* Use Warning value of Weights of 1 by default
When using DNS interface with only_passing = false, all nodes
with non-Critical healthcheck used to have a weight value of 1.
While having weight.Warning = 0 as default value, this is probably
a bad idea as it breaks ascending compatibility.
Thus, we put a default value of 1 to be consistent with existing behaviour.
* Added documentation for new weight field in service description
* Better documentation about weights as suggested by @banks
* Return weight = 1 for unknown Check states as suggested by @banks
* Fixed typo (of -> or) in error message as requested by @mkeeler
* Fixed unstable unit test TestRetryJoin
* Fixed unstable tests
* Fixed wrong Fatalf format in `testrpc/wait.go`
* Added notes regarding DNS SRV lookup limitations regarding number of instances
* Documentation fixes and clarification regarding SRV records with weights as requested by @banks
* Rephrase docs
* Added log-file flag to capture Consul logs in a user specified file
* Refactored code.
* Refactored code. Added flags to rotate logs based on bytes and duration
* Added the flags for log file and log rotation on the webpage
* Fixed TestSantize from failing due to the addition of 3 flags
* Introduced changes : mutex, data-dir log writes, rotation logic
* Added test for logfile and updated the default log destination for docs
* Log name now uses UnixNano
* TestLogFile is now uses t.Parallel()
* Removed unnecessary int64Val function
* Updated docs to reflect default log name for log-file
* No longer writes to data-dir and adds .log if the filename has no extension
- Add WaitForTestAgent to tests flaky due to missing serfHealth registration
- Fix bug in retries calling Fatalf with *testing.T
- Convert TestLockCommand_ChildExitCode to table driven test
- Improve resilience of testrpc.WaitForLeader()
- Add additionall retry to CI
- Increase "go test" timeout to 8m
- Add wait for cluster leader to several tests in the agent package
- Add retry to some tests in the api and command packages
- Dev mode assumed no persistence of services although proxy state is persisted which caused proxies to be killed on startup as their services were no longer registered. Fixed.
- Didn't snapshot the ProxyID which meant that proxies were adopted OK from snapshot but failed to restart if they died since there was no proxyID in the ENV on restart
- Dev mode with no persistence just kills all proxies on shutdown since it can't recover them later
- Naming things
This turns out to have a lot more subtelty than we accounted for. The test suite is especially prone to races now we can only poll the child and many extra levels of indirectoin are needed to correctly run daemon process without it becoming a Zombie.
I ran this test suite in a loop with parallel enabled to verify for races (-race doesn't find any as they are logical inter-process ones not actual data races). I made it through ~50 runs before hitting an error due to timing which is much better than before. I want to go back and see if we can do better though. Just getting this up.
