When the envoy healthy panic threshold was explicitly disabled as part
of L7 traffic management it changed how envoy decided to load balance to
endpoints in a cluster. This only matters when envoy is in "panic mode"
aka "when you have a bunch of unhealthy endpoints". Panic mode sends
traffic to unhealthy instances in certain circumstances.
Note: Prior to explicitly disabling the healthy panic threshold, the
default value is 50%.
What was happening is that the test harness was bringing up consul the
sidecars, and the service instances all at once and sometimes the
proxies wouldn't have time to be checked by consul to be labeled as
'passing' in the catalog before a round of EDS happened.
The xDS server in consul effectively queries /v1/health/connect/s2 and
gets 1 result, but that one result has a 'critical' check so the xDS
server sends back that endpoint labeled as UNHEALTHY.
Envoy sees that 100% of the endpoints in the cluster are unhealthy and
would enter panic mode and still send traffic to s2. This is why the
test suites PRIOR to disabling the healthy panic threshold worked. They
were _incorrectly_ passing.
When the healthy panic threshol is disabled, envoy never enters panic
mode in this situation and thus the cluster has zero healthy endpoints
so load balancing goes nowhere and the tests fail.
Why does this only affect the test suites for envoy 1.8.0? My guess is
that https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/pull/4442 was merged into the
1.9.x series and somehow that plays a role.
This PR modifies the bats scripts to explicitly wait until the upstream
sidecar is healthy as measured by /v1/health/connect/s2?passing BEFORE
trying to interrogate envoy which should make the tests less racy.
* Make cluster names SNI always
* Update some tests
* Ensure we check for prepared query types
* Use sni for route cluster names
* Proper mesh gateway mode defaulting when the discovery chain is used
* Ignore service splits from PatchSliceOfMaps
* Update some xds golden files for proper test output
* Allow for grpc/http listeners/cluster configs with the disco chain
* Update stats expectation
* Make exec test assert Envoy version - it was not rebuilding before and so often ran against wrong version. This makes 1.10 fail consistenty.
* Switch Envoy exec to use a named pipe rather than FD magic since Envoy 1.10 doesn't support that.
* Refactor to use an internal shim command for piping the bootstrap through.
* Fmt. So sad that vscode golang fails so often these days.
* go mod tidy
* revert go mod tidy changes
* Revert "ignore consul-exec tests until fixed (#5986)"
This reverts commit 683262a686.
* Review cleanups
* Upgrade xDS (go-control-plane) API to support Envoy 1.10.
This includes backwards compatibility shim to work around the ext_authz package rename in 1.10.
It also adds integration test support in CI for 1.10.0.
* Fix go vet complaints
* go mod vendor
* Update Envoy version info in docs
* Update website/source/docs/connect/proxies/envoy.md
* Make central conf test work when run in a suite.
This switches integration tests to hard restart Consul each time which causes less surpise when some tests need to set configs that don't work on consul reload. This also increases the isolation and repeatability of the tests by dropping Consul's state entirely for each case run.
* Remove aborted attempt to make restart optional.
* Add integration test for central config; fix central config WIP
* Add integration test for central config; fix central config WIP
* Set proxy protocol correctly and begin adding upstream support
* Add upstreams to service config cache key and start new notify watcher if they change.
This doesn't update the tests to pass though.
* Fix some merging logic get things working manually with a hack (TODO fix properly)
* Simplification to not allow enabling sidecars centrally - it makes no sense without upstreams anyway
* Test compile again and obvious ones pass. Lots of failures locally not debugged yet but may be flakes. Pushing up to see what CI does
* Fix up service manageer and API test failures
* Remove the enable command since it no longer makes much sense without being able to turn on sidecar proxies centrally
* Remove version.go hack - will make integration test fail until release
* Remove unused code from commands and upstream merge
* Re-bump version to 1.5.0
* Add support for HTTP proxy listeners
* Add customizable bootstrap configuration options
* Debug logging for xDS AuthZ
* Add Envoy Integration test suite with basic test coverage
* Add envoy command tests to cover new cases
* Add tracing integration test
* Add gRPC support WIP
* Merged changes from master Docker. get CI integration to work with same Dockerfile now
* Make docker build optional for integration
* Enable integration tests again!
* http2 and grpc integration tests and fixes
* Fix up command config tests
* Store all container logs as artifacts in circle on fail
* Add retries to outer part of stats measurements as we keep missing them in CI
* Only dump logs on failing cases
* Fix typos from code review
* Review tidying and make tests pass again
* Add debug logs to exec test.
* Fix legit test failure caused by upstream rename in envoy config
* Attempt to reduce cases of bad TLS handshake in CI integration tests
* bring up the right service
* Add prometheus integration test
* Add test for denied AuthZ both HTTP and TCP
* Try ANSI term for Circle
