UNIX domain socket paths are limited to 104-108 characters, depending on
the OS. This limit was quite easy to exceed when testing the feature on
Kubernetes, due to how proxy IDs encode the Pod ID eg:
metrics-collector-59467bcb9b-fkkzl-hcp-metrics-collector-sidecar-proxy
To ensure we stay under that character limit this commit makes a
couple changes:
- Use a b64 encoded SHA1 hash of the namespace + proxy ID to create a
short and deterministic socket file name.
- Add validation to proxy registrations and proxy-defaults to enforce a
limit on the socket directory length.
This is being added so that metrics sent to HCP can be augmented with the source node's ID.
Opting not to add this to stats_tag out of caution, since it would increase the cardinality of metrics emitted by Envoy for all users.
There is no functional impact to Envoy expected from this change.

Add a new envoy flag: "envoy_hcp_metrics_bind_socket_dir", a directory
where a unix socket will be created with the name
`<namespace>_<proxy_id>.sock` to forward Envoy metrics.
If set, this will configure:
- In bootstrap configuration a local stats_sink and static cluster.
These will forward metrics to a loopback listener sent over xDS.
- A dynamic listener listening at the socket path that the previously
defined static cluster is sending metrics to.
- A dynamic cluster that will forward traffic received at this listener
to the hcp-metrics-collector service.
Reasons for having a static cluster pointing at a dynamic listener:
- We want to secure the metrics stream using TLS, but the stats sink can
only be defined in bootstrap config. With dynamic listeners/clusters
we can use the proxy's leaf certificate issued by the Connect CA,
which isn't available at bootstrap time.
- We want to intelligently route to the HCP collector. Configuring its
addreess at bootstrap time limits our flexibility routing-wise. More
on this below.
Reasons for defining the collector as an upstream in `proxycfg`:
- The HCP collector will be deployed as a mesh service.
- Certificate management is taken care of, as mentioned above.
- Service discovery and routing logic is automatically taken care of,
meaning that no code changes are required in the xds package.
- Custom routing rules can be added for the collector using discovery
chain config entries. Initially the collector is expected to be
deployed to each admin partition, but in the future could be deployed
centrally in the default partition. These config entries could even be
managed by HCP itself.
* Add support for envoy readiness flags
- add flags 'envoy-ready-bind-port` and `envoy-ready-bind-addr` on consul connect envoy to create a ready listener on that address.
Fix issue where TLS configuration was ignored for unix sockets in consul connect envoy.
Disable xds check on bootstrap mode and change check to warn only.
Now that peered upstreams can generate envoy resources (#13758), we need a way to disambiguate local from peered resources in our metrics. The key difference is that datacenter and partition will be replaced with peer, since in the context of peered resources partition is ambiguous (could refer to the partition in a remote cluster or one that exists locally). The partition and datacenter of the proxy will always be that of the source service.
Regexes were updated to make emitting datacenter and partition labels mutually exclusive with peer labels.
Listener filter names were updated to better match the existing regex.
Cluster names assigned to peered upstreams were updated to be synthesized from local peer name (it previously used the externally provided primary SNI, which contained the peer name from the other side of the peering). Integration tests were updated to assert for the new peer labels.
When the protocol is http-like, and an intention has a peered source
then the normal RBAC mTLS SAN field check is replaces with a joint combo
of:
mTLS SAN field must be the service's local mesh gateway leaf cert
AND
the first XFCC header (from the MGW) must have a URI field that matches the original intention source
Also:
- Update the regex program limit to be much higher than the teeny
defaults, since the RBAC regex constructions are more complicated now.
- Fix a few stray panics in xds generation.
Changes the sourcing of the envoy bootstrap configuration
to not use agent APIs and instead use the catalog(server) API.
This is done by passing a node-name flag to the command,
(which can only be used with proxy-id).
Also fixes a bug where the golden envoy bootstrap config files
used for tests did not use the expected destination service name
in certain places for connect proxy kind.
The DebugConfig in the self endpoint can change at any time. It's not a stable API.
With the previous change to rename GRPCPort to XDSPort this command would have broken.
This commit adds the XDSPort to a stable part of the XDS api, and changes the envoy command to read
this new field.
It includes support for the old API as well, in case a newer CLI is used with an older API, and
adds a test for both cases.
The only thing that needed fixing up pertained to this section of the 1.18.x release notes:
> grpc_stats: the default value for stats_for_all_methods is switched from true to false, in order to avoid possible memory exhaustion due to an untrusted downstream sending a large number of unique method names. The previous default value was deprecated in version 1.14.0. This only changes the behavior when the value is not set. The previous behavior can be used by setting the value to true. This behavior change by be overridden by setting runtime feature envoy.deprecated_features.grpc_stats_filter_enable_stats_for_all_methods_by_default.
For now to maintain status-quo I'm explicitly setting `stats_for_all_methods=true` in all versions to avoid relying upon the default.
Additionally the naming of the emitted metrics for these gRPC requests changed slightly so the integration test assertions for `case-grpc` needed adjusting.
This adds support for the Incremental xDS protocol when using xDS v3. This is best reviewed commit-by-commit and will not be squashed when merged.
Union of all commit messages follows to give an overarching summary:
xds: exclusively support incremental xDS when using xDS v3
Attempts to use SoTW via v3 will fail, much like attempts to use incremental via v2 will fail.
Work around a strange older envoy behavior involving empty CDS responses over incremental xDS.
xds: various cleanups and refactors that don't strictly concern the addition of incremental xDS support
Dissolve the connectionInfo struct in favor of per-connection ResourceGenerators instead.
Do a better job of ensuring the xds code uses a well configured logger that accurately describes the connected client.
xds: pull out checkStreamACLs method in advance of a later commit
xds: rewrite SoTW xDS protocol tests to use protobufs rather than hand-rolled json strings
In the test we very lightly reuse some of the more boring protobuf construction helper code that is also technically under test. The important thing of the protocol tests is testing the protocol. The actual inputs and outputs are largely already handled by the xds golden output tests now so these protocol tests don't have to do double-duty.
This also updates the SoTW protocol test to exclusively use xDS v2 which is the only variant of SoTW that will be supported in Consul 1.10.
xds: default xds.Server.AuthCheckFrequency at use-time instead of construction-time
Allows setting -prometheus-backend-port to configure the cluster
envoy_prometheus_bind_addr points to.
Allows setting -prometheus-scrape-path to configure which path
envoy_prometheus_bind_addr exposes metrics on.
-prometheus-backend-port is used by the consul-k8s metrics merging feature, to
configure envoy_prometheus_bind_addr to point to the merged metrics
endpoint that combines Envoy and service metrics so that one set of
annotations on a Pod can scrape metrics from the service and it's Envoy
sidecar.
-prometheus-scrape-path is used to allow configurability of the path
where prometheus metrics are exposed on envoy_prometheus_bind_addr.
Note that this does NOT upgrade to xDS v3. That will come in a future PR.
Additionally:
- Ignored staticcheck warnings about how github.com/golang/protobuf is deprecated.
- Shuffled some agent/xds imports in advance of a later xDS v3 upgrade.
- Remove support for envoy 1.13.x but don't add in 1.17.x yet. We have to wait until the xDS v3 support is added in a follow-up PR.
Fixes#8425
This PR updates the tags that we generate for Envoy stats.
Several of these come with breaking changes, since we can't keep two stats prefixes for a filter.
When consul is restarted and an envoy that had already sent
DiscoveryRequests to the previous consul process sends a request to the
new process it doesn't respect the setting and never populates
DiscoveryRequest.Node for the life of the new consul process due to this
bug: https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/9682Fixes#8430
Related changes:
- hard-fail the xDS connection attempt if the envoy version is known to be too old to be supported
- remove the RouterMatchSafeRegex proxy feature since all supported envoy versions have it
- stop using --max-obj-name-len (due to: envoyproxy/envoy#11740)
