This PR adds two features which will be useful for operators when ACLs are in use.
1. Tokens set in configuration files are now reloadable.
2. If `acl.enable_token_persistence` is set to `true` in the configuration, tokens set via the `v1/agent/token` endpoint are now persisted to disk and loaded when the agent starts (or during configuration reload)
Note that token persistence is opt-in so our users who do not want tokens on the local disk will see no change.
Some other secondary changes:
* Refactored a bunch of places where the replication token is retrieved from the token store. This token isn't just for replicating ACLs and now it is named accordingly.
* Allowed better paths in the `v1/agent/token/` API. Instead of paths like: `v1/agent/token/acl_replication_token` the path can now be just `v1/agent/token/replication`. The old paths remain to be valid.
* Added a couple new API functions to set tokens via the new paths. Deprecated the old ones and pointed to the new names. The names are also generally better and don't imply that what you are setting is for ACLs but rather are setting ACL tokens. There is a minor semantic difference there especially for the replication token as again, its no longer used only for ACL token/policy replication. The new functions will detect 404s and fallback to using the older token paths when talking to pre-1.4.3 agents.
* Docs updated to reflect the API additions and to show using the new endpoints.
* Updated the ACL CLI set-agent-tokens command to use the non-deprecated APIs.
* Update docs to include multiple tag support
* Sort tags before using them in metrics
This addresses the potential proliferation of metrics if a query of
"?tag=foo&tag=bar" is treated differently than "?tag=bar&tag=foo".
Now, tags are always sorted before being recorded, making these two
emit the same metric.
* Add caveat about multiple tags returned by the metrics endpoint
* Add cache types for catalog/services and health/services and basic test that caching works
* Support non-blocking cache types with Cache-Control semantics.
* Update API docs to include caching info for every endpoint.
* Comment updates per PR feedback.
* Add note on caching to the 10,000 foot view on the architecture page to make the new data path more clear.
* Document prepared query staleness quirk and force all background requests to AllowStale so we can spread service discovery load across servers.
By default, the Consul agent listens on the local interface
at port 8500 for API requests. This change makes the API examples
using `curl` copy-pasteable for this default configuration.
* config: provide stable config for /v1/agent/self (#3530)
This patch adds a stable subset of the previous Config struct to the
agent/self response. The actual runtime configuration is moved into
DebugConfig and will be documented to change.
Fixes#3530
* config: fix tests
* doc: update api documentation for /v1/agent/self
* agent: consolidate http method not allowed checks
This patch uses the error handling of the http handlers to handle HTTP
method not allowed errors across all available endpoints. It also adds a
test for testing whether the endpoints respond with the correct status
code.
* agent: do not panic on metrics tests
* agent: drop other tests for MethodNotAllowed
* agent: align /agent/join with reality
/agent/join uses PUT instead of GET as documented.
* agent: align /agent/check/{fail,warn,pass} with reality
/agent/check/{fail,warn,pass} uses PUT instead of GET as documented.
* fix some tests
* Drop more tests for method not allowed
* Align TestAgent_RegisterService_InvalidAddress with reality
* Changes API client join to use PUT instead of GET.
* Fixes agent endpoint verbs and removes obsolete tests.
* Updates the change log.
