For long (>10s) interval checks the http timeout is 10s, otherwise thetimeout is the interval. This means that a check *should* return
before the next check begins.
These checks make an `HTTP GET` request every Interval to the specified URL.
The status of the service depends on the HTTP Response Code.
`200` is passing, `503` is warning and anything else is failing.
Enable setting a specific address in a service definition for advertise. If no specific address is given it will fallback to the node address and reassemble the old behaviour.
Add an config object that allows adding HTTP header response fields to every
HTTP API response.
Each specified header is added to every response from all HTTP API endpoints.
Each individual endpoint may overwrite the specified header, which makes sure
that Consul headers such as 'X-Consul-Index' is enforced by the API.
The design of the session TTLs is based on the Google Chubby approach
(http://research.google.com/archive/chubby-osdi06.pdf). The Session
struct has an additional TTL field now. This attaches an implicit
heartbeat based failure detector. Tracking of heartbeats is done by
the current leader and not persisted via the Raft log. The implication
of this is during a leader failover, we do not retain the last
heartbeat times.
Similar to Chubby, the TTL represents a lower-bound. Consul promises
not to terminate a session before the TTL has expired, but is allowed
to extend the expiration past it. This enables us to reset the TTL on
a leader failover. The TTL is also extended when the client does a
heartbeat. Like Chubby, this means a TTL is extended on creation,
heartbeat or failover.
Additionally, because we must account for time requests are in transit
and the relative rates of clocks on the clients and servers, Consul
will take the conservative approach of internally multiplying the TTL
by 2x. This helps to compensate for network latency and clock skew
without violating the contract.
