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.
Consul API client
This package provides the api package which attempts to
provide programmatic access to the full Consul API.
Currently, all of the Consul APIs included in version 0.6.0 are supported.
Documentation
The full documentation is available on Godoc
Usage
Below is an example of using the Consul client:
package main
import "github.com/hashicorp/consul/api"
import "fmt"
func main() {
// Get a new client
client, err := api.NewClient(api.DefaultConfig())
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Get a handle to the KV API
kv := client.KV()
// PUT a new KV pair
p := &api.KVPair{Key: "REDIS_MAXCLIENTS", Value: []byte("1000")}
_, err = kv.Put(p, nil)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Lookup the pair
pair, _, err := kv.Get("REDIS_MAXCLIENTS", nil)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("KV: %v %s\n", pair.Key, pair.Value)
}
To run this example, start a Consul server:
consul agent -dev
Copy the code above into a file such as main.go.
Install and run. You'll see a key (REDIS_MAXCLIENTS) and value (1000) printed.
$ go get
$ go run main.go
KV: REDIS_MAXCLIENTS 1000
After running the code, you can also view the values in the Consul UI on your local machine at http://localhost:8500/ui/dc1/kv
