The `consul agent` command was ignoring extra command line arguments
which can lead to confusion when the user has for example forgotten to
add a dash in front of an argument or is not using an `=` when setting
boolean flags to `true`. `-bootstrap true` is not the same as
`-bootstrap=true`, for example.
Since all command line flags are known and we don't expect unparsed
arguments we can return an error. However, this may make it slightly
more difficult in the future if we ever wanted to have these kinds of
arguments.

The anti-entropy tests relied on the side-effect of the StartSync()
method to perform a full sync instead of a partial sync. This lead to
multiple anti-entropy go routines being started unnecessary retry loops.
This change changes the behavior to perform synchronous full syncs when
necessary removing the need for all of the time.Sleep and most of the
retry loops.
The state of the service and health check records was spread out over
multiple maps guarded by a single lock. Access to the maps has to happen
in a coordinated effort and the tests often violated this which made
them brittle and racy.
This patch replaces the multiple maps with a single one for both checks
and services to make the code less fragile.
This is also necessary since moving the local state into its own package
creates circular dependencies for the tests. To avoid this the tests can
no longer access internal data structures which they should not be doing
in the first place.
The tests still don't compile but this is a ncessary step in that
direction.
The anti-entropy code manages background synchronizations of the local
state on a regular basis or on demand when either the state has changed
or a new consul server has been added.
This patch moves the anti-entropy code into its own package and
decouples it from the local state code since they are performing
two different functions.

This patch removes the porter tool which hands out free ports from a
given range with a library which does the same thing. The challenge for
acquiring free ports in concurrent go test runs is that go packages are
tested concurrently and run in separate processes. There has to be some
inter-process synchronization in preventing processes allocating the
same ports.
freeport allocates blocks of ports from a range expected to be not in
heavy use and implements a system-wide mutex by binding to the first
port of that block for the lifetime of the application. Ports are then
provided sequentially from that block and are tested on localhost before
being returned as available.
Queries to the DNS server can contain an optional datacenter
name in the query name. You can query for 'foo.service.consul'
or 'foo.service.dc.consul' to get a response for either the
default or a specific datacenter.
Datacenter names cannot have dots, therefore the datacenter
name can refer to only one element in the DNS query name.
The DNS server allowed extra labels between the optional
datacenter name and the domain and returned a valid response
instead of returning NXDOMAIN. For example, if the domain
is set to '.consul' then 'foo.service.dc1.extra.consul'
should return NXDOMAIN because of 'extra' being between
the datacenter name 'dc1' and the domain '.consul'.

for checks.
* Updates docs for checks to explain the `ScriptArgs` parameter issue.
* Adds mappings for "args" and "script-args" to give th API parity
with config.
* Adds checks on return codes.
* Removes debug logging that shows empty when args are used.
* Adds a brief wait and poll period to update the check status
if we get stucking waiting for the processes to terminate.
Fixes#3570
* Jumps out of timeout case and includes script output.
* Kill check processes after the timeout is reached
Kill the subprocess spawned by a script check once the timeout is reached. Previously Consul just marked the check critical and left the subprocess around.
Fixes#3565.
* Set err to non-nil when timeout occurs
* Fix check timeout test
* Kill entire process subtree on check timeout
* Add a docs note about windows subprocess termination
* 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.
* Fixes agent error handling when check definition is invalid. Distinguishes between empty checks vs invalid checks
* Made CheckTypes return Checks from service definition struct rather than a new copy, and other changes from code review. This also errors when json payload contains empty structs
* Simplify and improve validate method, and make sure that CheckTypes always returns a new copy of validated check definitions
* Tweaks some small style things and error messages.
* Updates the change log.
* doc: document discrepancy between id and CheckID
* doc: document enable_tag_override change
* config: add TranslateKeys helper
TranslateKeys makes it easier to map between different representations
of internal structures. It allows to recursively map alias keys to
canonical keys in structured maps.
* config: use TranslateKeys for config file
This also adds support for 'enabletagoverride' and removes
the need for a separate CheckID alias field.
* config: remove dead code
* agent: use TranslateKeys for FixupCheckType
* agent: translate enable_tag_override during service registration
* doc: add '.hcl' as valid extension
* config: map ScriptArgs to args
* config: add comment for TranslateKeys
* Adds client-side retry for no leader errors.
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.
* Fixes handling of stop channel and failed barrier attempts.
There were two issues here. First, we needed to not exit when there
was a timeout trying to write the barrier, because Raft might not
step down, so we'd be left as the leader but having run all the step
down actions.
Second, we didn't close over the stopCh correctly, so it was possible
to nil that out and have the leaderLoop never exit. We close over it
properly AND sequence the nil-ing of it AFTER the leaderLoop exits for
good measure, so the code is more robust.

for all metrics providers. Since we are deprecating fields
anyway we should fix this one as well.
Fixes#3293
* Updates docs and sorts telemetry section.
* Renames to "metrics_prefix" to disambiguate with Consul services.
* Updates the change log.
Remove an error in watch reloading that happens when http and https
are both disabled, and use an https address for running watches if
no http addresses are present.
Fixes#3425.
Since state.Checks() returns a shallow copy
its elements must not be modified. Copying
the elements in the handler does not guarantee
consistency since that list is guarded by a different
lock. Therefore, the only solution is to have state.Checks()
return a deep copy.
* agent: consolidate http method not allowed checks
This patch uses the error handling of the http handlers to handle HTTP
method not allowed errors across all available endpoints. It also adds a
test for testing whether the endpoints respond with the correct status
code.
* agent: do not panic on metrics tests
* agent: drop other tests for MethodNotAllowed
* agent: align /agent/join with reality
/agent/join uses PUT instead of GET as documented.

* Fixes agent endpoint verbs and removes obsolete tests.
* Updates the change log.
* Changes default Raft protocol to 3.
* Changes numPeers() to report only voters.
This should have been there before, but it's more obvious that this
is incorrect now that we default the Raft protocol to 3, which puts
new servers in a read-only state while Autopilot waits for them to
become healthy.
* Fixes TestLeader_RollRaftServer.
* Fixes TestOperator_RaftRemovePeerByAddress.
* Fixes TestServer_*.
Relaxed the check for a given number of voter peers and instead do
a thorough check that all servers see each other in their Raft
configurations.

care about the number of voter peers.

* Fixes TestLeader_ChangeServerID and adjusts the conn pool to throw away
sockets when it sees io.EOF.
* Changes version to 1.0.0 in the options doc.
* Makes metrics test more deterministic with autopilot metrics possible.
* new config parser for agent
This patch implements a new config parser for the consul agent which
makes the following changes to the previous implementation:
* add HCL support
* all configuration fragments in tests and for default config are
expressed as HCL fragments
* HCL fragments can be provided on the command line so that they
can eventually replace the command line flags.
* HCL/JSON fragments are parsed into a temporary Config structure
which can be merged using reflection (all values are pointers).
The existing merge logic of overwrite for values and append
for slices has been preserved.
* A single builder process generates a typed runtime configuration
for the agent.
The new implementation is more strict and fails in the builder process
if no valid runtime configuration can be generated. Therefore,
additional validations in other parts of the code should be removed.
The builder also pre-computes all required network addresses so that no
address/port magic should be required where the configuration is used
and should therefore be removed.

When the metadata server is scanning the agents for potential servers
it is parsing the version number which the agent provided when it
joined. This version number has to conform to a certain format, i.e.
'n.n.n'. Without this version number properly set some tests fail with
error messages that disguise the root cause.
The default version number is currently set to 'unknown' in
version/version.go which does not parse and triggers the tests to fail.
The work around is to use a build tag 'consul' which will use the
version number set in version_base.go instead which has the correct
format and is set to the current release version.
In addition, some parts of the code also require the version number to
be of a certain value. Setting it to '0.0.0' for example makes some
tests pass and others fail since they don't pass the semantic check.
When using go build/install/test one has to remember to use '-tags
consul' or tests will fail with non-obvious error messages.
Using build tags makes the build process more complex and error prone
since it prevents the use of the plain go toolchain and - at least in
its current form - introduces subtle build and test issues. We should
try to eliminate build tags for anything else but platform specific
code.
This patch removes all references to specific version numbers in the
code and tests and sets the default version to '9.9.9' which is
syntactically correct and passes the semantic check. This solves the
issue of running go build/install/test without tags for the OSS build.
The error handling of the ACL code relies on the presence of certain
magic error messages. Since the error values are sent via RPC between
older and newer consul agents we cannot just replace the magic values
with typed errors and switch to type checks since this would break
compatibility with older clients.
Therefore, this patch moves all magic ACL error messages into the acl
package and provides default error values and helper functions which
determine the type of error.
This patch replaces the code which determines the list of servers in the
current cluster with an RPC call to get the list of active consul
service instances which only run on servers.
This replaces the previous implementation which was more complex and
relied on serf messages which can provide a different view than the
consistent response from the raft log.
As a side effect it makes the implementation independent of the server
and the agent which means it works consistently across both. Different
behavior for server and agent was the root cause for the bug in
http://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issue/3047.
Fixes#3407
This patch changes the behavior of the DNS server as follows:
* The SOA response contains the SOA record in the Answer section instead
of the Authority section. It also contains NS records in the Authority
and the corresponding A glue records in the Extra section.
In addition, CNAMEs are added to the Extra section to make the
MNAME of the SOA record resolvable.
AAAA glue records are not yet supported.
* The NS response returns up to three random servers from the
consul cluster in the Answer section and the glue A
records in the Extra section.
AAAA glue records are not yet supported.
