* Support for maximum size for Output of checks
This PR allows users to limit the size of output produced by checks at the agent
and check level.
When set at the agent level, it will limit the output for all checks monitored
by the agent.
When set at the check level, it can override the agent max for a specific check but
only if it is lower than the agent max.
Default value is 4k, and input must be at least 1.
The observed bug was that a full restart of a consul datacenter (servers
and clients) in conjunction with a restart of a connect-flavored
application with bring-your-own-service-registration logic would very
frequently cause the envoy sidecar service check to never reflect the
aliased service.
Over the course of investigation several bugs and unfortunate
interactions were corrected:
(1)
local.CheckState objects were only shallow copied, but the key piece of
data that gets read and updated is one of the things not copied (the
underlying Check with a Status field). When the stock code was run with
the race detector enabled this highly-relevant-to-the-test-scenario field
was found to be racy.
Changes:
a) update the existing Clone method to include the Check field
b) copy-on-write when those fields need to change rather than
incrementally updating them in place.
This made the observed behavior occur slightly less often.
(2)
If anything about how the runLocal method for node-local alias check
logic was ever flawed, there was no fallback option. Those checks are
purely edge-triggered and failure to properly notice a single edge
transition would leave the alias check incorrect until the next flap of
the aliased check.
The change was to introduce a fallback timer to act as a control loop to
double check the alias check matches the aliased check every minute
(borrowing the duration from the non-local alias check logic body).
This made the observed behavior eventually go away when it did occur.
(3)
Originally I thought there were two main actions involved in the data race:
A. The act of adding the original check (from disk recovery) and its
first health evaluation.
B. The act of the HTTP API requests coming in and resetting the local
state when re-registering the same services and checks.
It took awhile for me to realize that there's a third action at work:
C. The goroutines associated with the original check and the later
checks.
The actual sequence of actions that was causing the bad behavior was
that the API actions result in the original check to be removed and
re-added _without waiting for the original goroutine to terminate_. This
means for brief windows of time during check definition edits there are
two goroutines that can be sending updates for the alias check status.
In extremely unlikely scenarios the original goroutine sees the aliased
check start up in `critical` before being removed but does not get the
notification about the nearly immediate update of that check to
`passing`.
This is interlaced wit the new goroutine coming up, initializing its
base case to `passing` from the current state and then listening for new
notifications of edge triggers.
If the original goroutine "finishes" its update, it then commits one
more write into the local state of `critical` and exits leaving the
alias check no longer reflecting the underlying check.
The correction here is to enforce that the old goroutines must terminate
before spawning the new one for alias checks.
* Add integration test for central config; fix central config WIP
* Add integration test for central config; fix central config WIP
* Set proxy protocol correctly and begin adding upstream support
* Add upstreams to service config cache key and start new notify watcher if they change.
This doesn't update the tests to pass though.
* Fix some merging logic get things working manually with a hack (TODO fix properly)

* Remove unused code from commands and upstream merge
* Re-bump version to 1.5.0
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.
Fixes: #4222
# 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.
Adds two new configuration parameters "dns_config.use_cache" and
"dns_config.cache_max_age" controlling how DNS requests use the agent
cache when querying servers.
* Store leaf cert indexes in raft and use for the ModifyIndex on the returned certs
This ensures that future certificate signings will have a strictly greater ModifyIndex than any previous certs signed.
* bugfix: use ServiceTags to generate cahce key hash
* update unit test
* update
* remote print log
* Update .gitignore
* Completely deprecate ServiceTag field internally for clarity
* Add explicit test for CacheInfo cases
* Add leader token upgrade test and fix various ACL enablement bugs
* Update the leader ACL initialization tests.
* Add a StateStore ACL tests for ACLTokenSet and ACLTokenGetBy* functions
* Advertise the agents acl support status with the agent/self endpoint.
* Make batch token upsert CAS’able to prevent consistency issues with token auto-upgrade
* Finish up the ACL state store token tests
* Finish the ACL state store unit tests
Also rename some things to make them more consistent.
* Do as much ACL replication testing as I can.
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.
* Support multiple tags for health and catalog api endpoints
Fixes#1781.
Adds a `ServiceTags` field to the ServiceSpecificRequest to support
multiple tags, updates the filter logic in the catalog store, and
propagates these change through to the health and catalog endpoints.
Note: Leaves `ServiceTag` in the struct, since it is being used as
part of the DNS lookup, which in turn uses the health check.
* Update the api package to support multiple tags
Includes additional tests.
* Update new tests to use the `require` library
* Update HealthConnect check after a bad merge
* [Performance On Large clusters] Checks do update services/nodes only when really modified to avoid too many updates on very large clusters
In a large cluster, when having a few thousands of nodes, the anti-entropy
mechanism performs lots of changes (several per seconds) while
there is no real change. This patch wants to improve this in order
to increase Consul scalability when using many blocking requests on
health for instance.
* [Performance for large clusters] Only updates index of service if service is really modified
* [Performance for large clusters] Only updates index of nodes if node is really modified
* Added comments / ensure IsSame() has clear semantics
* Avoid having modified boolean, return nil directly if stutures are Same
* Fixed unstable unit tests TestLeader_ChangeServerID
* Rewrite TestNode_IsSame() for better readability as suggested by @banks
* Rename ServiceNode.IsSame() into IsSameService() + added unit tests
* Do not duplicate TestStructs_ServiceNode_Conversions() and increase test coverage of IsSameService
* Clearer documentation in IsSameService
* Take into account ServiceProxy into ServiceNode.IsSameService()
* Fixed IsSameService() with all new structures
* Added new Config for SidecarService in ServiceDefinitions.
* WIP: all the code needed for SidecarService is written... none of it is tested other than config :). Need API updates too.
* Test coverage for the new sidecarServiceFromNodeService method.
* Test API registratrion with SidecarService
* Recursive Key Translation 🤦
* Add tests for nested sidecar defintion arrays to ensure they are translated correctly
* Use dedicated internal state rather than Service Meta for tracking sidecars for deregistration.
Add tests for deregistration.
* API struct for agent register. No other endpoint should be affected yet.
* Additional test cases to cover updates to API registrations
* Refactor Service Definition ProxyDestination.

* Support non-blocking cache types with Cache-Control semantics.
* Update API docs to include caching info for every endpoint.
* Comment updates per PR feedback.
* Add note on caching to the 10,000 foot view on the architecture page to make the new data path more clear.
* Document prepared query staleness quirk and force all background requests to AllowStale so we can spread service discovery load across servers.
* 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
