* Persist HCP management token from server config
We want to move away from injecting an initial management token into
Consul clusters linked to HCP. The reasoning is that by using a separate
class of token we can have more flexibility in terms of allowing HCP's
token to co-exist with the user's management token.
Down the line we can also more easily adjust the permissions attached to
HCP's token to limit it's scope.
With these changes, the cloud management token is like the initial
management token in that iit has the same global management policy and
if it is created it effectively bootstraps the ACL system.
* Update SDK and mock HCP server
The HCP management token will now be sent in a special field rather than
as Consul's "initial management" token configuration.
This commit also updates the mock HCP server to more accurately reflect
the behavior of the CCM backend.
* Refactor HCP bootstrapping logic and add tests
We want to allow users to link Consul clusters that already exist to
HCP. Existing clusters need care when bootstrapped by HCP, since we do
not want to do things like change ACL/TLS settings for a running
cluster.
Additional changes:
* Deconstruct MaybeBootstrap so that it can be tested. The HCP Go SDK
requires HTTPS to fetch a token from the Auth URL, even if the backend
server is mocked. By pulling the hcp.Client creation out we can modify
its TLS configuration in tests while keeping the secure behavior in
production code.
* Add light validation for data received/loaded.
* Sanitize initial_management token from received config, since HCP will
only ever use the CloudConfig.MangementToken.
* Add changelog entry
- added Sameness Group to config entries
- added Sameness Group to subscriptions
* generated proto files
* added Sameness Group events to the state store
- added test cases
* Refactored health RPC Client
- moved code that is common to rpcclient under rpcclient common.go. This will help set us up to support future RPC clients
* Refactored proxycfg glue views
- Moved views to rpcclient config entry. This will allow us to reuse this code for a config entry client
* added config entry RPC Client
- Copied most of the testing code from rpcclient/health
* hooked up new rpcclient in agent
* fixed documentation and comments for clarity
Receiving an "acl not found" error from an RPC in the agent cache and the
streaming/event components will cause any request loops to cease under the
assumption that they will never work again if the token was destroyed. This
prevents log spam (#14144, #9738).
Unfortunately due to things like:
- authz requests going to stale servers that may not have witnessed the token
creation yet
- authz requests in a secondary datacenter happening before the tokens get
replicated to that datacenter
- authz requests from a primary TO a secondary datacenter happening before the
tokens get replicated to that datacenter
The caller will get an "acl not found" *before* the token exists, rather than
just after. The machinery added above in the linked PRs will kick in and
prevent the request loop from looping around again once the tokens actually
exist.
For `consul-dataplane` usages, where xDS is served by the Consul servers
rather than the clients ultimately this is not a problem because in that
scenario the `agent/proxycfg` machinery is on-demand and launched by a new xDS
stream needing data for a specific service in the catalog. If the watching
goroutines are terminated it ripples down and terminates the xDS stream, which
CDP will eventually re-establish and restart everything.
For Consul client usages, the `agent/proxycfg` machinery is ahead-of-time
launched at service registration time (called "local" in some of the proxycfg
machinery) so when the xDS stream comes in the data is already ready to go. If
the watching goroutines terminate it should terminate the xDS stream, but
there's no mechanism to re-spawn the watching goroutines. If the xDS stream
reconnects it will see no `ConfigSnapshot` and will not get one again until
the client agent is restarted, or the service is re-registered with something
changed in it.
This PR fixes a few things in the machinery:
- there was an inadvertent deadlock in fetching snapshot from the proxycfg
machinery by xDS, such that when the watching goroutine terminated the
snapshots would never be fetched. This caused some of the xDS machinery to
get indefinitely paused and not finish the teardown properly.
- Every 30s we now attempt to re-insert all locally registered services into
the proxycfg machinery.
- When services are re-inserted into the proxycfg machinery we special case
"dead" ones such that we unilaterally replace them rather that doing that
conditionally.
Registering gRPC balancers is thread-unsafe because they are stored in a
global map variable that is accessed without holding a lock. Therefore,
it's expected that balancers are registered _once_ at the beginning of
your program (e.g. in a package `init` function) and certainly not after
you've started dialing connections, etc.
> NOTE: this function must only be called during initialization time
> (i.e. in an init() function), and is not thread-safe.
While this is fine for us in production, it's challenging for tests that
spin up multiple agents in-memory. We currently register a balancer per-
agent which holds agent-specific state that cannot safely be shared.
This commit introduces our own registry that _is_ thread-safe, and
implements the Builder interface such that we can call gRPC's `Register`
method once, on start-up. It uses the same pattern as our resolver
registry where we use the dial target's host (aka "authority"), which is
unique per-agent, to determine which builder to use.
Protobuf Refactoring for Multi-Module Cleanliness
This commit includes the following:
Moves all packages that were within proto/ to proto/private
Rewrites imports to account for the packages being moved
Adds in buf.work.yaml to enable buf workspaces
Names the proto-public buf module so that we can override the Go package imports within proto/buf.yaml
Bumps the buf version dependency to 1.14.0 (I was trying out the version to see if it would get around an issue - it didn't but it also doesn't break things and it seemed best to keep up with the toolchain changes)
Why:
In the future we will need to consume other protobuf dependencies such as the Google HTTP annotations for openapi generation or grpc-gateway usage.
There were some recent changes to have our own ratelimiting annotations.
The two combined were not working when I was trying to use them together (attempting to rebase another branch)
Buf workspaces should be the solution to the problem
Buf workspaces means that each module will have generated Go code that embeds proto file names relative to the proto dir and not the top level repo root.
This resulted in proto file name conflicts in the Go global protobuf type registry.
The solution to that was to add in a private/ directory into the path within the proto/ directory.
That then required rewriting all the imports.
Is this safe?
AFAICT yes
The gRPC wire protocol doesn't seem to care about the proto file names (although the Go grpc code does tack on the proto file name as Metadata in the ServiceDesc)
Other than imports, there were no changes to any generated code as a result of this.
Previously, we'd begin a session with the xDS concurrency limiter
regardless of whether the proxy was registered in the catalog or in
the server's local agent state.
This caused problems for users who run `consul connect envoy` directly
against a server rather than a client agent, as the server's locally
registered proxies wouldn't be included in the limiter's capacity.
Now, the `ConfigSource` is responsible for beginning the session and we
only do so for services in the catalog.

Prevent serving TLS via ports.grpc
We remove the ability to run the ports.grpc in TLS mode to avoid
confusion and to simplify configuration. This breaking change
ensures that any user currently using ports.grpc in an encrypted
mode will receive an error message indicating that ports.grpc_tls
must be explicitly used.
The suggested action for these users is to simply swap their ports.grpc
to ports.grpc_tls in the configuration file. If both ports are defined,
or if the user has not configured TLS for grpc, then the error message
will not be printed.

Fix an issue where rpc_hold_timeout was being used as the timeout for non-blocking queries. Users should be able to tune read timeouts without fiddling with rpc_hold_timeout. A new configuration `rpc_read_timeout` is created.
Refactor some implementation from the original PR 11500 to remove the misleading linkage between RPCInfo's timeout (used to retry in case of certain modes of failures) and the client RPC timeouts.
Adds a user-configurable rate limiter to proxycfg snapshot delivery,
with a default limit of 250 updates per second.
This addresses a problem observed in our load testing of Consul
Dataplane where updating a "global" resource such as a wildcard
intention or the proxy-defaults config entry could starve the Raft or
Memberlist goroutines of CPU time, causing general cluster instability.
Adds another datasource for proxycfg.HTTPChecks, for use on server agents. Typically these checks are performed by local client agents and there is no equivalent of this in agentless (where servers configure consul-dataplane proxies).
Hence, the data source is mostly a no-op on servers but in the case where the service is present within the local state, it delegates to the cache data source.

Preivously when alias check was removed it would not be stopped nor
cleaned up from the associated aliasChecks map.
This means that any time an alias check was deregistered we would
leak a goroutine for CheckAlias.run() because the stopCh would never
be closed.
This issue mostly affects service mesh deployments on platforms where
the client agent is mostly static but proxy services come and go
regularly, since by default sidecars are registered with an alias check.
Prior to #13244, connect proxies and gateways could only be configured by an
xDS session served by the local client agent.
In an upcoming release, it will be possible to deploy a Consul service mesh
without client agents. In this model, xDS sessions will be handled by the
servers themselves, which necessitates load-balancing to prevent a single
server from receiving a disproportionate amount of load and becoming
overwhelmed.
This introduces a simple form of load-balancing where Consul will attempt to
achieve an even spread of load (xDS sessions) between all healthy servers.
It does so by implementing a concurrent session limiter (limiter.SessionLimiter)
and adjusting the limit according to autopilot state and proxy service
registrations in the catalog.
If a server is already over capacity (i.e. the session limit is lowered),
Consul will begin draining sessions to rebalance the load. This will result
in the client receiving a `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` status code. It is the client's
responsibility to observe this response and reconnect to a different server.
Users of the gRPC client connection brokered by the
consul-server-connection-manager library will get this for free.
The rate at which Consul will drain sessions to rebalance load is scaled
dynamically based on the number of proxies in the catalog.
http.Transport keeps a pool of connections and should be reused when possible. We instantiate a new http.DefaultTransport for every metrics request, making large numbers of concurrent requests inefficiently spin up new connections instead of reusing open ones.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2489.
This PR introduces a server-local implementation of the
proxycfg.InternalServiceDump interface that sources data from a blocking query
against the server's state store.
For simplicity, it only implements the subset of the Internal.ServiceDump RPC
handler actually used by proxycfg - as such the result type has been changed
to IndexedCheckServiceNodes to avoid confusion.
