* 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.
* metrics: replace statsite_prefix with service_prefix
The metrics prefix isn't statsite specific and is in fact used
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.
* 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.
* agent: align /agent/check/{fail,warn,pass} with reality
/agent/check/{fail,warn,pass} uses PUT instead of GET as documented.
* fix some tests
* Drop more tests for method not allowed
* Align TestAgent_RegisterService_InvalidAddress with reality
* Changes API client join to use PUT instead of GET.
* 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.
* Fixes TestACL_*.
These now just check for Raft replication to be set up, and don't
care about the number of voter peers.
* Fixes TestOperator_Raft_ListPeers.
* Fixes TestAutopilot_CleanupDeadServerPeriodic.
* Fixes TestCatalog_ListNodes_ConsistentRead_Fail.
* 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.
