Jack Pearkes 197d62c6ca New command: consul debug (#4754)
* agent/debug: add package for debugging, host info

* api: add v1/agent/host endpoint

* agent: add v1/agent/host endpoint

* command/debug: implementation of static capture

* command/debug: tests and only configured targets

* agent/debug: add basic test for host metrics

* command/debug: add methods for dynamic data capture

* api: add debug/pprof endpoints

* command/debug: add pprof

* command/debug: timing, wg, logs to disk

* vendor: add gopsutil/disk

* command/debug: add a usage section

* website: add docs for consul debug

* agent/host: require operator:read

* api/host: improve docs and no retry timing

* command/debug: fail on extra arguments

* command/debug: fixup file permissions to 0644

* command/debug: remove server flags

* command/debug: improve clarity of usage section

* api/debug: add Trace for profiling, fix profile

* command/debug: capture profile and trace at the same time

* command/debug: add index document

* command/debug: use "clusters" in place of members

* command/debug: remove address in output

* command/debug: improve comment on metrics sleep

* command/debug: clarify usage

* 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()

Pierre Souchay 42f250fa53 Added SOA configuration for DNS settings. (#4714)
This will allow to fine TUNE SOA settings sent by Consul in DNS responses,
for instance to be able to control negative ttl.

Will fix: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/4713

# Example

Override all settings:

* min_ttl: 0 => 60s
* retry: 600 (10m) => 300s (5 minutes),
* expire: 86400 (24h) => 43200 (12h)
* refresh: 3600 (1h) => 1800 (30 minutes)

```
consul agent -dev -hcl 'dns_config={soa={min_ttl=60,retry=300,expire=43200,refresh=1800}}'
```

Result:
```
dig +multiline @localhost -p 8600 service.consul

Fix formatting issue in config docs.
The floating paragraph seems to need additional indentation to work correctly on the markdown parser middle man uses - GitHub got it right before in the preview but the website broke dumping the new config option inline.
2018-07-09 14:39:20 +01:00
Geoffrey Grosenbach 361db8ebcf Note that -dev generates certs for Connect.
Previous version of the documentation didn't mention this, which can
lead to confusion when experimenting with Connect. Many other features
of Consul work fine without `-dev` mode, but Connect needs certs in
order to proxy, which must be done with this flag or by generating certs
directly and passing them to Consul in configs.

Geoffrey Grosenbach cc24a65d45 Notes that both "hcl" and "json" files are loaded from the config-dir.

📝 Clarify the list of supported TLS cipher suites
Previously, the documentation linked to Golang's source code, which
can drift from the list of cipher suites supported by Consul. Consul
has a hard-coded mapping of string values to Golang cipher suites, so
this is a more direct source of truth to help users understand which
string values are accepted in the `tls_cipher_suites` configuration
value.

Jack Pearkes 39ed02cf0c website: override automatic linking of list items for softlayer dc
This avoids a conflict with #datacenter later on the page. We're mixing
histroic manually specified anchors with generated anchors (via
redcarpet / middleman-hashicorp) so we have to manually override the
automatic generation here.

I was tempted to rewrite the old manual anchors to use the automatic
generation, but there is no way to maintain backwards compatibility,
so will leave that for a time when it is appropriate for us to break
links (or redirect them, etc).

Frank Schröder 3cb1cd3723 config: add -config-format option (#3626)
* config: refactor ReadPath(s) methods without side-effects

Return the sources instead of modifying the state.

* config: clean data dir before every test

* config: add tests for config-file and config-dir

* config: add -config-format option

Starting with Consul 1.0 all config files must have a '.json' or '.hcl'
extension to make it unambigous how the data should be parsed. Some
automation tools generate temporary files by appending a random string
to the generated file which obfuscates the extension and prevents the
file type detection.

This patch adds a -config-format option which can be used to override
the auto-detection behavior by forcing all config files or all files
within a config directory independent of their extension to be
interpreted as of this format.

Frank Schröder 9b2e3c2091 agent: add option to discard health output (#3562)
* agent: add option to discard health output

In high volatile environments consul will have checks with "noisy"
output which changes every time even though the status does not change.
Since the output is stored in the raft log every health check update
unblocks a blocking call on health checks since the raft index has
changed even though the status of the health checks may not have changed
at all. By discarding the output of the health checks the users can
choose a different tradeoff. Less visibility on why a check failed in
exchange for a reduced change rate on the raft log.

* agent: discard output also when adding a check

* agent: add test for discard check output

* agent: update docs

* go vet

* Adds discard_check_output to reloadable config table.

* Updates the change log.

This paves over the case where the client was connected to the leader
when it loses leadership.

* Adds a configurable server RPC drain time and a fail-fast path for RPCs.

When a server leaves it gets removed from the Raft configuration, so it will
never know who the new leader server ends up being. Without this we'd be
doomed to wait out the RPC hold timeout and then fail. This makes things fail
a little quicker while a sever is draining, and since we added a client retry
AND since the server doing this has already shut down and left the Serf LAN,
clients should retry against some other server.

* Makes the RPC hold timeout configurable.

* Reorders struct members.

* Sets the RPC hold timeout default for test servers.

* Bumps the leave drain time up to 5 seconds.

* Robustifies retries with a simpler client-side RPC hold.

* Reverts untended delete.
