We've noticed that a trace that is captured over the full duration is
too large to open on most machines. A trace.out captured over just the
interval period (30s by default) should be a more than enough time to
capture trace data.
The unix timestamps that were used make the debug data a little bit more
difficult to consume. By using human readable dates we can easily see
when the profile data was collected.
This commit also improves the test coverage. Two test cases are removed
and the assertions from those cases are moved to TestDebugCommand.
Now TestDebugCommand is able to validate the contents of all files. This
change reduces the test runtime of the command/debug package by almost
50%. It also makes much more strict assertions about the contents by
using gotest.tools/v3/fs.
Some previous changes broke interrupting the debug on SigInterupt. This change restores
the original behaviour by passing a context to requests.
Since a new API client function was required to pass the context, I had
it also return an io.ReadCloser, so that output can be streamed to files
instead of fully buffering in process memory.
Use gotest.tools/v3/fs to make better assertions about the files
Remove the TestAgent from TestDebugCommand_Prepare_ValidateTiming, since we can test that validation
without making any API calls.
* debug: remove the CLI check for debug_enabled
The API allows collecting profiles even debug_enabled=false as long as
ACLs are enabled. Remove this check from the CLI so that users do not
need to set debug_enabled=true for no reason.
Also:
- fix the API client to return errors on non-200 status codes for debug
endpoints
- improve the failure messages when pprof data can not be collected

* remove parallel test runs
parallel runs create a race condition that fail the debug tests
* snapshot the timestamp at the beginning of the capture
- timestamp used to create the capture sub folder is snapshot only at the beginning of the capture and reused for subsequent captures
- capture append to the file if it already exist
* Revert "snapshot the timestamp at the beginning of the capture"
This reverts commit c2d03346
* Refactor captureDynamic to extract capture logic for each item in a different func
* snapshot the timestamp at the beginning of the capture

* Revert "snapshot the timestamp at the beginning of the capture"
This reverts commit c2d03346
* Refactor captureDynamic to extract capture logic for each item in a different func
* extract wait group outside the go routine to avoid a race condition
* capture pprof in a separate go routine
* perform a single capture for pprof data for the whole duration
* add missing vendor dependency
* add a change log and fix documentation to reflect the change
* create function for timestamp dir creation and simplify error handling
* use error groups and ticker to simplify interval capture loop
* Logs, profile and traces are captured for the full duration. Metrics, Heap and Go routines are captured every interval
* refactor Logs capture routine and add log capture specific test
* improve error reporting when log test fail
* change test duration to 1s
* make time parsing in log line more robust
* refactor log time format in a const
* test on log line empty the earliest possible and return

Add a skip condition to all tests slower than 100ms.
This change was made using `gotestsum tool slowest` with data from the
last 3 CI runs of master.
See https://github.com/gotestyourself/gotestsum#finding-and-skipping-slow-tests
With this change:
```
$ time go test -count=1 -short ./agent
ok github.com/hashicorp/consul/agent 0.743s
real 0m4.791s
$ time go test -count=1 -short ./agent/consul
ok github.com/hashicorp/consul/agent/consul 4.229s
real 0m8.769s
```
All these changes should have no side-effects or change behavior:
- Use bytes.Buffer's String() instead of a conversion
- Use time.Since and time.Until where fitting
- Drop unnecessary returns and assignment
* First conversion
* Use serf 0.8.2 tag and associated updated deps
* * Move freeport and testutil into internal/
* Make internal/ its own module
* Update imports
* Add replace statements so API and normal Consul code are
self-referencing for ease of development
* Adapt to newer goe/values
* Bump to new cleanhttp
* Fix ban nonprintable chars test
* Update lock bad args test
The error message when the duration cannot be parsed changed in Go 1.12
(ae0c435877d3aacb9af5e706c40f9dddde5d3e67). This updates that test.
* Update another test as well
* Bump travis
* Bump circleci
* Bump go-discover and godo to get rid of launchpad dep
* Bump dockerfile go version
* fix tar command
* Bump go-cleanhttp
This way we can avoid unnecessary panics which cause other tests not to run.
This doesn't remove all the possibilities for panics causing other tests not to run, it just fixes the TestAgent
* agent/debug: add package for debugging, host info
* api: add v1/agent/host endpoint
* agent: add v1/agent/host endpoint
* command/debug: implementation of static capture
* command/debug: tests and only configured targets
* agent/debug: add basic test for host metrics
* command/debug: add methods for dynamic data capture
* api: add debug/pprof endpoints
* command/debug: add pprof
* command/debug: timing, wg, logs to disk
* vendor: add gopsutil/disk
* command/debug: add a usage section
* website: add docs for consul debug
* agent/host: require operator:read
* api/host: improve docs and no retry timing
* command/debug: fail on extra arguments
* command/debug: fixup file permissions to 0644
* command/debug: remove server flags
* command/debug: improve clarity of usage section
* api/debug: add Trace for profiling, fix profile
* command/debug: capture profile and trace at the same time
* command/debug: add index document
* command/debug: use "clusters" in place of members
* command/debug: remove address in output
* command/debug: improve comment on metrics sleep
* command/debug: clarify usage
* agent: always register pprof handlers and protect
This will allow us to avoid a restart of a target agent
for profiling by always registering the pprof handlers.
Given this is a potentially sensitive path, it is protected
with an operator:read ACL and enable debug being
set to true on the target agent. enable_debug still requires
a restart.
If ACLs are disabled, enable_debug is sufficient.
* command/debug: use trace.out instead of .prof
More in line with golang docs.
* agent: fix comment wording
* agent: wrap table driven tests in t.run()
