This change consolidates loading services and checks from both config and persisted state into methods on the agent. As part of this, we introduce optional persistence when calling RemoveCheck/RemoveService. Fixes a bug where config reloads would kill persisted services/checks. Also fixes an edge case: 1. A service or check is registered via the HTTP API 2. A new service or check definition with the same ID is added to config 3. Config is reloaded The desired behavior (which this implements) is: 1. All services and checks deregistered in memory 2. All services and checks in config are registered first 3. All persisted checks are restored using the same logic as the agent start sequence, which prioritizes config over persisted, and removes any persistence files if new config counterparts are present. |

Consul

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.
Consul provides several key features:
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. It is recommended to run the Consul servers only on Linux, however.
Quick Start

Developing Consul
If you wish to work on Consul itself, you'll first need Go installed (version 1.2+ is required). Make sure you have Go properly installed, including setting up your GOPATH.
Next, clone this repository into $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/consul
and
then just type make
. In a few moments, you'll have a working consul
executable:
$ go get -u ./...
$ make
...
$ bin/consul
...
note: make
will also place a copy of the binary in the first part of your $GOPATH
You can run tests by typing make test
.
If you make any changes to the code, run make format
in order to automatically
format the code according to Go standards.
