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
* Update to match that values come back b64 encoded
* Add that the value needs to be decoded
* Remove outdated reference to session1
* Fix some typos
* Clarify what is mean by a session having an active key
* Clarify requirements for lock holders in semaphore guide
* Adds Deployment Guide and update links
* Fixes releases link
* Re-organisation of content
* Cuts down "deployment" doc (which should focus on Reference Architecture) by moving raft and performance tuning to the Server Performance page which already covers some of this.
* Moves backups from "deployment" doc (which should focus on Reference Architecture) to "deployment-guide"
* Cleans up some notes and add single DC diagram
* Removes old link to deployment guide from nav
* Corrects minor styling, formatting, and grammar
* website: initial Kubernetes section with Helm information
* website: extraConfig for clients
* website: add more helm fields
* website: document extraVolumes
* website: document Consul DNS
* website: fix typos and show example of downward API
Fixes: #4578
Prior to this fix if there was an error binding to ports for the DNS servers the error would be swallowed by the gated log writer and never output. This fix propagates the DNS server errors back to the shell with a multierror.
* Implementation of Weights Data structures
Adding this datastructure will allow us to resolve the
issues #1088 and #4198
This new structure defaults to values:
```
{ Passing: 1, Warning: 0 }
```
Which means, use weight of 0 for a Service in Warning State
while use Weight 1 for a Healthy Service.
Thus it remains compatible with previous Consul versions.
* Implemented weights for DNS SRV Records
* DNS properly support agents with weight support while server does not (backwards compatibility)
* Use Warning value of Weights of 1 by default
When using DNS interface with only_passing = false, all nodes
with non-Critical healthcheck used to have a weight value of 1.
While having weight.Warning = 0 as default value, this is probably
a bad idea as it breaks ascending compatibility.
Thus, we put a default value of 1 to be consistent with existing behaviour.
* Added documentation for new weight field in service description
* Better documentation about weights as suggested by @banks
* Return weight = 1 for unknown Check states as suggested by @banks
* Fixed typo (of -> or) in error message as requested by @mkeeler
* Fixed unstable unit test TestRetryJoin
* Fixed unstable tests
* Fixed wrong Fatalf format in `testrpc/wait.go`
* Added notes regarding DNS SRV lookup limitations regarding number of instances
* Documentation fixes and clarification regarding SRV records with weights as requested by @banks
* Rephrase docs
* Adds XL machine spec and notes on large deployments
* Clarifies machine sizes
* Fixes internal links within the document
* Moves datacenter size guidelines to "Single Datacenter" section
* Added log-file flag to capture Consul logs in a user specified file
* Refactored code.
* Refactored code. Added flags to rotate logs based on bytes and duration
* Added the flags for log file and log rotation on the webpage
* Fixed TestSantize from failing due to the addition of 3 flags
* Introduced changes : mutex, data-dir log writes, rotation logic
* Added test for logfile and updated the default log destination for docs
* Log name now uses UnixNano
* TestLogFile is now uses t.Parallel()
* Removed unnecessary int64Val function
* Updated docs to reflect default log name for log-file
* No longer writes to data-dir and adds .log if the filename has no extension
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.
* updates docs for agent options
trying to add a little more clarity to suggestion that folks should use
port 8302 for both LAN and WAN comms
* website: clarify language for serf wan port behavior
