Changes to how the version string was handled created small regression with the release of consul 1.12.0 enterprise.
Many tools use the Config:Version field reported by the agent/self resource to determine whether Consul is an enterprise or OSS instance, expect something like 1.12.0+ent for enterprise and simply 1.12.0 for OSS. This was accidentally broken during the runup to 1.12.x
This work fixes the value returned by both the self endpoint in ["Config"]["Version"] and the metrics consul.version field.

Introduces the capability to configure TLS differently for Consul's
listeners/ports (i.e. HTTPS, gRPC, and the internal multiplexed RPC
port) which is useful in scenarios where you may want the HTTPS or
gRPC interfaces to present a certificate signed by a well-known/public
CA, rather than the certificate used for internal communication which
must have a SAN in the form `server.<dc>.consul`.
This field was never user-configurable. We always overwrote the value with 120s from
NonUserSource. However, we also never copied the value from RuntimeConfig to consul.Config,
So the value in NonUserSource was always ignored, and we used the default value of 30s
set by consul.DefaultConfig.
All of this code is an unnecessary distraction because a user can not actually configure
this value.
This commit removes the fields and uses a constant value instad. Someone attempting to set
acl.disabled_ttl in their config will now get an error about an unknown field, but previously
the value was completely ignored, so the new behaviour seems more correct.
We have to keep this field in the AutoConfig response for backwards compatibility, but the value
will be ignored by the client, so it doesn't really matter what value we set.
This commit reduces the interface to Load() a bit, in preparation for
unexporting NewBuilder and having everything call Load.
The three arguments are reduced to a single argument by moving the other
two into the options struct.
The three return values are reduced to two by moving the RuntimeConfig
and Warnings into a LoadResult struct.
Using the LiteralSource makes it much easier to find default values, because an IDE reports
the location of a default. With an HCL string they are harder to discover.
Also removes unnecessary mapstructure.Decodes of constant values.
There are a couple of things in here.
First, just like auto encrypt, any Cluster.AutoConfig RPC will implicitly use the less secure RPC mechanism.
This drastically modifies how the Consul Agent starts up and moves most of the responsibilities (other than signal handling) from the cli command and into the Agent.
Flags is an overloaded term in this context. It generally is used to
refer to command line flags. This struct, however, is a data object
used as input to the construction.
It happens to be partially populated by command line flags, but
otherwise has very little to do with them.
Renaming this struct should make the actual responsibility of this struct
more obvious, and remove the possibility that it is confused with
command line flags.
This change is in preparation for adding additional fields to
BuilderOpts.
This will emit warnings about the configs not doing anything but still allow them to be parsed.
This also added the warnings for enterprise fields that we already had in OSS but didn’t change their enforcement behavior. For example, attempting to use a network segment will cause a hard error in OSS.
This is like a Möbius strip of code due to the fact that low-level components (serf/memberlist) are connected to high-level components (the catalog and mesh-gateways) in a twisty maze of references which make it hard to dive into. With that in mind here's a high level summary of what you'll find in the patch:
There are several distinct chunks of code that are affected:
* new flags and config options for the server
* retry join WAN is slightly different
* retry join code is shared to discover primary mesh gateways from secondary datacenters
* because retry join logic runs in the *agent* and the results of that
operation for primary mesh gateways are needed in the *server* there are
some methods like `RefreshPrimaryGatewayFallbackAddresses` that must occur
at multiple layers of abstraction just to pass the data down to the right
layer.
* new cache type `FederationStateListMeshGatewaysName` for use in `proxycfg/xds` layers
* the function signature for RPC dialing picked up a new required field (the
node name of the destination)
* several new RPCs for manipulating a FederationState object:
`FederationState:{Apply,Get,List,ListMeshGateways}`
* 3 read-only internal APIs for debugging use to invoke those RPCs from curl
* raft and fsm changes to persist these FederationStates
* replication for FederationStates as they are canonically stored in the
Primary and replicated to the Secondaries.
* a special derivative of anti-entropy that runs in secondaries to snapshot
their local mesh gateway `CheckServiceNodes` and sync them into their upstream
FederationState in the primary (this works in conjunction with the
replication to distribute addresses for all mesh gateways in all DCs to all
other DCs)
* a "gateway locator" convenience object to make use of this data to choose
the addresses of gateways to use for any given RPC or gossip operation to a
remote DC. This gets data from the "retry join" logic in the agent and also
directly calls into the FSM.
* RPC (`:8300`) on the server sniffs the first byte of a new connection to
determine if it's actually doing native TLS. If so it checks the ALPN header
for protocol determination (just like how the existing system uses the
type-byte marker).
* 2 new kinds of protocols are exclusively decoded via this native TLS
mechanism: one for ferrying "packet" operations (udp-like) from the gossip
layer and one for "stream" operations (tcp-like). The packet operations
re-use sockets (using length-prefixing) to cut down on TLS re-negotiation
overhead.
* the server instances specially wrap the `memberlist.NetTransport` when running
with gateway federation enabled (in a `wanfed.Transport`). The general gist is
that if it tries to dial a node in the SAME datacenter (deduced by looking
at the suffix of the node name) there is no change. If dialing a DIFFERENT
datacenter it is wrapped up in a TLS+ALPN blob and sent through some mesh
gateways to eventually end up in a server's :8300 port.
* a new flag when launching a mesh gateway via `consul connect envoy` to
indicate that the servers are to be exposed. This sets a special service
meta when registering the gateway into the catalog.
* `proxycfg/xds` notice this metadata blob to activate additional watches for
the FederationState objects as well as the location of all of the consul
servers in that datacenter.
* `xds:` if the extra metadata is in place additional clusters are defined in a
DC to bulk sink all traffic to another DC's gateways. For the current
datacenter we listen on a wildcard name (`server.<dc>.consul`) that load
balances all servers as well as one mini-cluster per node
(`<node>.server.<dc>.consul`)
* the `consul tls cert create` command got a new flag (`-node`) to help create
an additional SAN in certs that can be used with this flavor of federation.
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.
* 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.
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.
* 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
This enables `consul agent -dev` to begin using Connect features with
the built-in CA. I think this is expected behavior since you can imagine
that new users would want to try.
There is no real downside since we're just using the built-in CA.
* Adds client-side retry for no leader errors.
This paves over the case where the client was connected to the leader
when it loses leadership.
* Adds a configurable server RPC drain time and a fail-fast path for RPCs.
When a server leaves it gets removed from the Raft configuration, so it will
never know who the new leader server ends up being. Without this we'd be
doomed to wait out the RPC hold timeout and then fail. This makes things fail
a little quicker while a sever is draining, and since we added a client retry
AND since the server doing this has already shut down and left the Serf LAN,
clients should retry against some other server.
* Makes the RPC hold timeout configurable.
* Reorders struct members.
* Sets the RPC hold timeout default for test servers.
* Bumps the leave drain time up to 5 seconds.
* Robustifies retries with a simpler client-side RPC hold.
* Reverts untended delete.
* metrics: replace statsite_prefix with service_prefix
The metrics prefix isn't statsite specific and is in fact used
for all metrics providers. Since we are deprecating fields
anyway we should fix this one as well.
Fixes#3293
* Updates docs and sorts telemetry section.
* Renames to "metrics_prefix" to disambiguate with Consul services.
* Updates the change log.
* new config parser for agent
This patch implements a new config parser for the consul agent which
makes the following changes to the previous implementation:
* add HCL support
* all configuration fragments in tests and for default config are
expressed as HCL fragments
* HCL fragments can be provided on the command line so that they
can eventually replace the command line flags.
* HCL/JSON fragments are parsed into a temporary Config structure
which can be merged using reflection (all values are pointers).
The existing merge logic of overwrite for values and append
for slices has been preserved.
* A single builder process generates a typed runtime configuration
for the agent.
The new implementation is more strict and fails in the builder process
if no valid runtime configuration can be generated. Therefore,
additional validations in other parts of the code should be removed.
The builder also pre-computes all required network addresses so that no
address/port magic should be required where the configuration is used
and should therefore be removed.
