Fixes#2742
Previously the docs didn't clarify that if a server restarts as a client then force-leave won't lead to removing the node from the raft config. This is because the node, which is alive after a restart, will refute messages about it having left . These messages about members leaving are in turn what trigger Consul's leader to remove a server from raft.
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.
The fields in the certs are meant to hold the original binary
representation of this data, not some ascii-encoded version.
The only time we should be colon-hex-encoding fields is for display
purposes or marshaling through non-TLS mediums (like RPC).

* website: Update middleman-hashicorp container and Gemfile.lock
Time marches on, and so do security vulnerabilities in Nokogiri. So it's time
for a new container.
As with last time, here's a reminder for the next person who needs to update
this:
- You shouldn't just update the dependency in Gemfile.lock, because your build
times will go to heck as you compile Nokogiri from source on every run. So you
need an updated container with all the dependencies.
- To update the container, you need to push a new tag to the middleman-hashicorp
repo. Teamcity does the rest, and will ship a new container to Docker Hub
(unless its credentials are out of date, in which case go ask team-eng-serv.)
- Once that's pushed:
- Update Makefile
- Update the Gemfile
- Delete Gemfile.lock
- `make website` until it comes up, then ctrl-C
- Commit the changes
* website: Specify a different json version in Gemfile.lock
The Consul website uses different containers for preview and deploy, and this
oddball JSON version was causing issues. This commit sacrifices a little bit
of preview startup speed for (hopefully) working deploys.
- Bootstrap escape hatches are OK.
- Public listener/cluster escape hatches are OK.
- Upstream listener/cluster escape hatches are not supported.
If an unsupported escape hatch is configured and the discovery chain is
activated log a warning and act like it was not configured.

Add parameter local-only to operator keyring list requests to force queries to only hit local servers (no WAN traffic).
HTTP API: GET /operator/keyring?local-only=true
CLI: consul keyring -list --local-only
Sending the local-only flag with any non-GET/list request will result in an error.
The main change is that we no longer filter service instances by health,
preferring instead to render all results down into EDS endpoints in
envoy and merely label the endpoints as HEALTHY or UNHEALTHY.
When OnlyPassing is set to true we will force consul checks in a
'warning' state to render as UNHEALTHY in envoy.
Fixes#6171
* Update go-bexpr to v0.1.1
This brings in:
• `in`/`not in` operators to do substring matching
• `matches` / `not matches` operators to perform regex string matching.
* Add the capability to auto-generate the filtering selector ops tables for our docs
This fixes pathological cases where the write throughput and snapshot size are both so large that more than 10k log entries are written in the time it takes to restore the snapshot from disk. In this case followers that restart can never catch up with leader replication again and enter a loop of constantly downloading a full snapshot and restoring it only to find that snapshot is already out of date and the leader has truncated its logs so a new snapshot is sent etc.
In general if you need to adjust this, you are probably abusing Consul for purposes outside its design envelope and should reconsider your usage to reduce data size and/or write volume.

...otherwise we just use the current rootURL
This gets injected into a <base /> node which solves the assets path
problem but not the ember problem
* ui: Pull out the <base href=""> value and inject it into ember env
See previous commit:
The <base href=""> value is 'sometimes' injected from go at index
serve time. We pass this value down to ember by overwriting the ember
config that is injected via a <meta> tag. This has to be done before
ember bootup.
Sometimes (during testing and development, basically not production)
this is injected with the already existing value, in which case this
essentially changes nothing.
The code here is slightly abstracted away from our specific usage to
make it easier for anyone else to use, and also make sure we can cope
with using this same method to pass variables down from the CLI through
to ember in the future.
* ui: We can't use <base /> move everything to javascript (#5941)
Unfortuantely we can't seem to be able to use <base> and rootURL
together as URL paths will get doubled up (`ui/ui/`).
This moves all the things that we need to interpolate with .ContentPath
to the `startup` javascript so we can conditionally print out
`{{.ContentPath}}` in lots of places (now we can't use base)
* fixed when we serve index.html
* ui: For writing a ContentPath, we also need to cope with testing... (#5945)
...and potentially more environments
Testing has more additional things in a separate index.html in `tests/`
This make the entire thing a little saner and uses just javascriopt
template literals instead of a pseudo handbrake synatx for our
templating of these files.
Intead of just templating the entire file this way, we still only
template `{{content-for 'head'}}` and `{{content-for 'body'}}`
in this way to ensure we support other plugins/addons
* build: Loosen up the regex for retrieving the CONSUL_VERSION (#5946)
* build: Loosen up the regex for retrieving the CONSUL_VERSION
1. Previously the `sed` replacement was searching for the CONSUL_VERSION
comment at the start of a line, it no longer does this to allow for
indentation.
2. Both `grep` and `sed` where looking for the omment at the end of the
line. We've removed this restriction here. We don't need to remove it
right now, but if we ever put the comment followed by something here the
searching would break.
3. Added `xargs` for trimming the resulting version string. We aren't
using this already in the rest of the scripts, but we are pretty sure
this is available on most systems.
* ui: Fix erroneous variable, and also force an ember cache clean on build
1. We referenced a variable incorrectly here, this fixes that.
2. We also made sure that every `make` target clears ember's `tmp` cache
to ensure that its not using any caches that have since been edited
everytime we call a `make` target.

When set to notify, systemd will not attempt to start any dependent
services until after consul sends the notify signal. This is useful
in cases where there services that rely on the local consul agent
to be up and functional before they can start. The default is simple,
which will immediately mark the service as up and functioning even
if consul has not yet joined the cluster and has started listening
for connnections.

# Data Filtering
This PR will implement filtering for the following endpoints:
## Supported HTTP Endpoints
- `/agent/checks`
- `/agent/services`
- `/catalog/nodes`
- `/catalog/service/:service`
- `/catalog/connect/:service`
- `/catalog/node/:node`
- `/health/node/:node`
- `/health/checks/:service`
- `/health/service/:service`
- `/health/connect/:service`
- `/health/state/:state`
- `/internal/ui/nodes`
- `/internal/ui/services`
More can be added going forward and any endpoint which is used to list some data is a good candidate.
## Usage
When using the HTTP API a `filter` query parameter can be used to pass a filter expression to Consul. Filter Expressions take the general form of:
```
<selector> == <value>
<selector> != <value>
<value> in <selector>
<value> not in <selector>
<selector> contains <value>
<selector> not contains <value>
<selector> is empty
<selector> is not empty
not <other expression>
<expression 1> and <expression 2>
<expression 1> or <expression 2>
```
Normal boolean logic and precedence is supported. All of the actual filtering and evaluation logic is coming from the [go-bexpr](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-bexpr) library
## Other changes
Adding the `Internal.ServiceDump` RPC endpoint. This will allow the UI to filter services better.
* [docs] security warning about Helm chart
Correct security warning about helm chart to caution about default Consul install.
* clarify that k8s or consul should be secure
* website: specify value of acquire/release params for kv
* website: clarify leader election usage in TTL docs
* website: document minimal value of lockdelay
I believe it uses the default when parsing 0 as it
views that as an empty parameter in this case.
- the space after `=` is significant in sc parameters (binPath= "<path> <args>, start= auto)
- given the text "the service automatically starts up during/after boot", added `start= auto` to
the example, otherwise the service will be set to Manual start mode.
* Added a note to GCE auto-join credentials option
Simply added a note to remind users that putting a json file in the config-dir will make consul parse it as a config file.
Hope to help someone else avoid wasting a day because of these errors:

This PR introduces reloading tls configuration. Consul will now be able to reload the TLS configuration which previously required a restart. It is not yet possible to turn TLS ON or OFF with these changes. Only when TLS is already turned on, the configuration can be reloaded. Most importantly the certificates and CAs.
* Fix race condition in DNS when using cache
The healty node filtering was modifying the result from the cache, which
caused a crash when multiple queries were made to the same service
simultaneously.
We now copy the node slice before filtering to ensure we do not modify
the data stored in the cache.
* Fix wording in dns cache config doc
s/dns_max_age/cache_max_age/
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.
Adds two new configuration parameters "dns_config.use_cache" and
"dns_config.cache_max_age" controlling how DNS requests use the agent
cache when querying servers.
* Add common blocking implementation details to docs
These come up over and over again with blocking query loops in our own code and third-party's. #5333 is possibly a case (unconfirmed) where "badly behaved" blocking clients cause issues, however since we've never explicitly documented these things it's not reasonable for third-party clients to have guessed that they are needed!
This hopefully gives us something to point to for the future.
It's a little wordy - happy to consider breaking some of the blocking stuff out of this page if we think it's appropriate but just wanted to quickly plaster over this gap in our docs for now.

This will cause a practically useless UI. This patch uses the _prefix
variants instead which will have the intended behavior.
It appears that the `read` command for ACL policies was used to template the `read` command for ACL tokens, and an invalid option was not dropped from the docs.
Given a query like:
```
{
"Name": "tagged-connect-query",
"Service": {
"Service": "foo",
"Tags": ["tag"],
"Connect": true
}
}
```
And a Consul configuration like:
```
{
"services": [
"name": "foo",
"port": 8080,
"connect": { "sidecar_service": {} },
"tags": ["tag"]
]
}
```
If you executed the query it would always turn up with 0 results. This was because the sidecar service was being created without any tags. You could instead make your config look like:
```
{
"services": [
"name": "foo",
"port": 8080,
"connect": { "sidecar_service": {
"tags": ["tag"]
} },
"tags": ["tag"]
]
}
```
However that is a bit redundant for most cases. This PR ensures that the tags and service meta of the parent service get copied to the sidecar service. If there are any tags or service meta set in the sidecar service definition then this copying does not take place. After the changes, the query will now return the expected results.
A second change was made to prepared queries in this PR which is to allow filtering on ServiceMeta just like we allow for filtering on NodeMeta.

Adds info about `k8stag` and `nodePortSyncType` options that were
added in consul-helm v0.5.0.
Additionally moves the k8sprefix to match the order in the Helm chart
values file, while also clarifying that it only affects one sync
direction.
If a user installs the default Helm chart Consul on a Kubernetes
cluster that is open to the internet, it is lacking some important
security configurations.

This endpoint aggregates all checks related to <service id> on the agent
and return an appropriate http code + the string describing the worst
check.
This allows to cleanly expose service status to other component, hiding
complexity of multiple checks.
This is especially useful to use consul to feed a load balancer which
would delegate health checking to consul agent.
Exposing this endpoint on the agent is necessary to avoid a hit on
consul servers and avoid decreasing resiliency (this endpoint will work
even if there is no consul leader in the cluster).
* Adding the new backup guide
* Update website/source/docs/guides/backup.html.md

This changes with time so will opt to not hardcoding this. Investigated using the middleman helper to render
out the current configured version but that won't exist on learn.hashicorp.com so I think this
is the most future-proof way.

Some redirects are not possible with a redirect file, so we send traffic to
learn.hashicorp.com with custom VCL (Varnish) handlers using the Fastly web
admin.
Future migrations of content to learn.hashicorp.com should also use this
approach.

There is a fine line between making the helm chart easy and simple to
use and supporting lots of configurability. This documents options for
users who would like to extend the Helm chart beyond what is readily
available in the `values.yaml` file.
This adds two Helm chart values into the documentation with details
that have come up in several issues.
Additionally, it notes that persistent volumes and their claims need
to be removed manually because of current kubernetes and helm design.

Based on info from consul-helm issue 16, the formatting of the helm
chart value for joining an external cluster needs to be specified
as a yaml array. This updates the documentation to reflect this.
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.

* 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()
In case `verify_server_hostname` is set in the configuration, Consul checks the certificate against `server.<datacenter>.<domain>`.
The name suggested by the guide generates errors like the following:
```
2018/10/10 12:42:20 [ERR] consul: Failed to confirm peer status for consul-3: rpc error getting client: failed to get conn: x509: certificate is valid for server.node.consul.labs, localhost, not server.consul.labs. Retrying in 16s...
```
Removing the `node` part from the certificate permits them to work also when that option is set.

In designing a potential UI for a configuration of `enable_tag_override`,
I found the documentation confusing and lengthy. Here, I've made an
attempt at re-writing this section to be more concise and clear.
I also made a few small changes to the organization of this file to map
explanations to the order of the properties listing at the top. I find
it easier to scan docs when explanations appear in the same order they
are listed at the top. For explanations that span multiple paragraphs, I
provided a subheading, which also helps in linking from other pages.
Finally, I removed a duplicated paragraph from the documentation.
* Fill in gaps in semaphore guide
