In current implementation of Consul, check alias cannot determine
if a service exists or not. Because a service without any check
is semantically considered as passing, so when no healthchecks
are found for an agent, the check was considered as passing.
But this make little sense as the current implementation does not
make any difference between:
* a non-existing service (passing)
* a service without any check (passing as well)
In order to make it work, we have to ensure that when a check did
not find any healthcheck, the service does indeed exists. If it
does not, lets consider the check as failing.
Previously this happened to be using the method on the Server/Client that was meant to allow the ACLResolver to locally resolve tokens. On Servers that had tokens (primary or secondary dc + token replication) this function would lookup the token from raft and return the ACLIdentity. On clients this was always a noop. We inadvertently used this function instead of creating a new one when we added logging accessor ids for permission denied RPC requests.
With this commit, a new method is used for resolving the identity properly via the ACLResolver which may still resolve locally in the case of being on a server with tokens but also supports remote token resolution.
The Init method provided the same functionality as the New constructor.
The constructor is both more widely used, and more idiomatic, so remove
the Init method.
This change is in preparation for fixing printing of these IDs.
This fixes#7020.
There are two problems this PR solves:
* if the node info changes it is highly likely to get service and check registration permission errors unless those service tokens have node:write. Hopefully services you register don’t have this permission.
* the timer for a full sync gets reset for every partial sync which means that many partial syncs are preventing a full sync from happening
Instead of syncing node info last, after services and checks, and possibly saving one RPC because it is included in every service sync, I am syncing node info first. It is only ever going to be a single RPC that we are only doing when node info has changed. This way we are guaranteed to sync node info even when something goes wrong with services or checks which is more likely because there are more syncs happening for them.
* Fix segfault when removing both a service and associated check
updateSyncState creates entries in the services and checks maps for
remote services/checks that are not found locally, so that we can then
make sure to delete them in our reconciliation process. However, the
values added to the map are missing key fields that the rest of the code
expects to not be nil.
* Add comment stating Check field can be nil
Deregistering a service from the catalog automatically deregisters its
checks, however the agent still performs a deregister call for each
service checks even after the service has been deregistered.
With ACLs enabled this results in logs like:
"message:consul: "Catalog.Deregister" RPC failed to server
server_ip:8300: rpc error making call: rpc error making call: Unknown
check 'check_id'"
This change removes associated checks from the agent state when
deregistering a service, which results in less calls to the servers and
supresses the error logs.
Fixes: #5396
This PR adds a proxy configuration stanza called expose. These flags register
listeners in Connect sidecar proxies to allow requests to specific HTTP paths from outside of the node. This allows services to protect themselves by only
listening on the loopback interface, while still accepting traffic from non
Connect-enabled services.
Under expose there is a boolean checks flag that would automatically expose all
registered HTTP and gRPC check paths.
This stanza also accepts a paths list to expose individual paths. The primary
use case for this functionality would be to expose paths for third parties like
Prometheus or the kubelet.
Listeners for requests to exposed paths are be configured dynamically at run
time. Any time a proxy, or check can be registered, a listener can also be
created.
In this initial implementation requests to these paths are not
authenticated/encrypted.
* Store primaries root in secondary after intermediate signature
This ensures that the intermediate exists within the CA root stored in raft and not just in the CA provider state. This has the very nice benefit of actually outputting the intermediate cert within the ca roots HTTP/RPC endpoints.
This change means that if signing the intermediate fails it will not set the root within raft. So far I have not come up with a reason why that is bad. The secondary CA roots watch will pull the root again and go through all the motions. So as soon as getting an intermediate CA works the root will get set.
* Make TestAgentAntiEntropy_Check_DeferSync less flaky
I am not sure this is the full fix but it seems to help for me.
Read requests performed during anti antropy full sync currently target
the leader only. This generates a non-negligible load on the leader when
the DC is large enough and can be offloaded to the followers following
the "eventually consistent" policy for the agent state.
We switch the AE read calls to use stale requests with a small (2s)
MaxStaleDuration value and make sure we do not read too fast after a
write.
The observed bug was that a full restart of a consul datacenter (servers
and clients) in conjunction with a restart of a connect-flavored
application with bring-your-own-service-registration logic would very
frequently cause the envoy sidecar service check to never reflect the
aliased service.
Over the course of investigation several bugs and unfortunate
interactions were corrected:
(1)
local.CheckState objects were only shallow copied, but the key piece of
data that gets read and updated is one of the things not copied (the
underlying Check with a Status field). When the stock code was run with
the race detector enabled this highly-relevant-to-the-test-scenario field
was found to be racy.
Changes:
a) update the existing Clone method to include the Check field
b) copy-on-write when those fields need to change rather than
incrementally updating them in place.
This made the observed behavior occur slightly less often.
(2)
If anything about how the runLocal method for node-local alias check
logic was ever flawed, there was no fallback option. Those checks are
purely edge-triggered and failure to properly notice a single edge
transition would leave the alias check incorrect until the next flap of
the aliased check.
The change was to introduce a fallback timer to act as a control loop to
double check the alias check matches the aliased check every minute
(borrowing the duration from the non-local alias check logic body).
This made the observed behavior eventually go away when it did occur.
(3)
Originally I thought there were two main actions involved in the data race:
A. The act of adding the original check (from disk recovery) and its
first health evaluation.
B. The act of the HTTP API requests coming in and resetting the local
state when re-registering the same services and checks.
It took awhile for me to realize that there's a third action at work:
C. The goroutines associated with the original check and the later
checks.
The actual sequence of actions that was causing the bad behavior was
that the API actions result in the original check to be removed and
re-added _without waiting for the original goroutine to terminate_. This
means for brief windows of time during check definition edits there are
two goroutines that can be sending updates for the alias check status.
In extremely unlikely scenarios the original goroutine sees the aliased
check start up in `critical` before being removed but does not get the
notification about the nearly immediate update of that check to
`passing`.
This is interlaced wit the new goroutine coming up, initializing its
base case to `passing` from the current state and then listening for new
notifications of edge triggers.
If the original goroutine "finishes" its update, it then commits one
more write into the local state of `critical` and exits leaving the
alias check no longer reflecting the underlying check.
The correction here is to enforce that the old goroutines must terminate
before spawning the new one for alias checks.

This PR adds two features which will be useful for operators when ACLs are in use.
1. Tokens set in configuration files are now reloadable.
2. If `acl.enable_token_persistence` is set to `true` in the configuration, tokens set via the `v1/agent/token` endpoint are now persisted to disk and loaded when the agent starts (or during configuration reload)
Note that token persistence is opt-in so our users who do not want tokens on the local disk will see no change.
Some other secondary changes:
* Refactored a bunch of places where the replication token is retrieved from the token store. This token isn't just for replicating ACLs and now it is named accordingly.
* Allowed better paths in the `v1/agent/token/` API. Instead of paths like: `v1/agent/token/acl_replication_token` the path can now be just `v1/agent/token/replication`. The old paths remain to be valid.
* Added a couple new API functions to set tokens via the new paths. Deprecated the old ones and pointed to the new names. The names are also generally better and don't imply that what you are setting is for ACLs but rather are setting ACL tokens. There is a minor semantic difference there especially for the replication token as again, its no longer used only for ACL token/policy replication. The new functions will detect 404s and fallback to using the older token paths when talking to pre-1.4.3 agents.
* Docs updated to reflect the API additions and to show using the new endpoints.
* Updated the ACL CLI set-agent-tokens command to use the non-deprecated APIs.
This way we can avoid unnecessary panics which cause other tests not to run.
This doesn't remove all the possibilities for panics causing other tests not to run, it just fixes the TestAgent
Fixes: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3676
This fixes a bug were registering an agent with a non-existent ACL token can prevent other
services registered with a good token from being synced to the server when using
`acl_enforce_version_8 = false`.
## Background
When `acl_enforce_version_8` is off the agent does not check the ACL token validity before
storing the service in its state.
When syncing a service registered with a missing ACL token we fall into the default error
handling case (https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/blob/master/agent/local/state.go#L1255)
and stop the sync (https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/blob/master/agent/local/state.go#L1082)
without setting its Synced property to true like in the permission denied case.
This means that the sync will always stop at the faulty service(s).
The order in which the services are synced is random since we iterate on a map. So eventually
all services with good ACL tokens will be synced, this can however take some time and is influenced
by the cluster size, the bigger the slower because retries are less frequent.
Having a service in this state also prevent all further sync of checks as they are done after
the services.
## Changes
This change modify the sync process to continue even if there is an error.
This fixes the issue described above as well as making the sync more error tolerant: if the server repeatedly refuses
a service (the ACL token could have been deleted by the time the service is synced, the servers
were upgraded to a newer version that has more strict checks on the service definition...).
Then all services and check that can be synced will, and those that don't will be marked as errors in
the logs instead of blocking the whole process.
This PR is almost a complete rewrite of the ACL system within Consul. It brings the features more in line with other HashiCorp products. Obviously there is quite a bit left to do here but most of it is related docs, testing and finishing the last few commands in the CLI. I will update the PR description and check off the todos as I finish them over the next few days/week.
Description
At a high level this PR is mainly to split ACL tokens from Policies and to split the concepts of Authorization from Identities. A lot of this PR is mostly just to support CRUD operations on ACLTokens and ACLPolicies. These in and of themselves are not particularly interesting. The bigger conceptual changes are in how tokens get resolved, how backwards compatibility is handled and the separation of policy from identity which could lead the way to allowing for alternative identity providers.
On the surface and with a new cluster the ACL system will look very similar to that of Nomads. Both have tokens and policies. Both have local tokens. The ACL management APIs for both are very similar. I even ripped off Nomad's ACL bootstrap resetting procedure. There are a few key differences though.
Nomad requires token and policy replication where Consul only requires policy replication with token replication being opt-in. In Consul local tokens only work with token replication being enabled though.
All policies in Nomad are globally applicable. In Consul all policies are stored and replicated globally but can be scoped to a subset of the datacenters. This allows for more granular access management.
Unlike Nomad, Consul has legacy baggage in the form of the original ACL system. The ramifications of this are:
A server running the new system must still support other clients using the legacy system.
A client running the new system must be able to use the legacy RPCs when the servers in its datacenter are running the legacy system.
The primary ACL DC's servers running in legacy mode needs to be a gate that keeps everything else in the entire multi-DC cluster running in legacy mode.
So not only does this PR implement the new ACL system but has a legacy mode built in for when the cluster isn't ready for new ACLs. Also detecting that new ACLs can be used is automatic and requires no configuration on the part of administrators. This process is detailed more in the "Transitioning from Legacy to New ACL Mode" section below.
* Proxy Config Manager
This component watches for local state changes on the agent and ensures that each service registered locally with Kind == connect-proxy has it's state being actively populated in the cache.
This serves two purposes:
1. For the built-in proxy, it ensures that the state needed to accept connections is available in RAM shortly after registration and likely before the proxy actually starts accepting traffic.
2. For (future - next PR) xDS server and other possible future proxies that require _push_ based config discovery, this provides a mechanism to subscribe and be notified about updates to a proxy instance's config including upstream service discovery results.
* Address review comments
* Better comments; Better delivery of latest snapshot for slow watchers; Embed Config
* Comment typos
* Add upstream Stringer for funsies
- A new endpoint `/v1/agent/service/:service_id` which is a generic way to look up the service for a single instance. The primary value here is that it:
- **supports hash-based blocking** and so;
- **replaces `/agent/connect/proxy/:proxy_id`** as the mechanism the built-in proxy uses to read its config.
- It's not proxy specific and so works for any service.
- It has a temporary shim to call through to the existing endpoint to preserve current managed proxy config defaulting behaviour until that is removed entirely (tested).
- The built-in proxy now uses the new endpoint exclusively for it's config
- The built-in proxy now has a `-sidecar-for` flag that allows the service ID of the _target_ service to be specified, on the condition that there is exactly one "sidecar" proxy (that is one that has `Proxy.DestinationServiceID` set) for the service registered.
- Several fixes for edge cases for SidecarService
- A fix for `Alias` checks - when running locally they didn't update their state until some external thing updated the target. If the target service has no checks registered as below, then the alias never made it past critical.
* Refactor Service Definition ProxyDestination.
This includes:
- Refactoring all internal structs used
- Updated tests for both deprecated and new input for:
- Agent Services endpoint response
- Agent Service endpoint response
- Agent Register endpoint
- Unmanaged deprecated field
- Unmanaged new fields
- Managed deprecated upstreams
- Managed new
- Catalog Register
- Unmanaged deprecated field
- Unmanaged new fields
- Managed deprecated upstreams
- Managed new
- Catalog Services endpoint response
- Catalog Node endpoint response
- Catalog Service endpoint response
- Updated API tests for all of the above too (both deprecated and new forms of register)
TODO:
- config package changes for on-disk service definitions
- proxy config endpoint
- built-in proxy support for new fields
* Agent proxy config endpoint updated with upstreams
* Config file changes for upstreams.
* Add upstream opaque config and update all tests to ensure it works everywhere.
* Built in proxy working with new Upstreams config
* Command fixes and deprecations
* Fix key translation, upstream type defaults and a spate of other subtele bugs found with ned to end test scripts...
TODO: tests still failing on one case that needs a fix. I think it's key translation for upstreams nested in Managed proxy struct.
* Fix translated keys in API registration.
≈
* Fixes from docs
- omit some empty undocumented fields in API
- Bring back ServiceProxyDestination in Catalog responses to not break backwards compat - this was removed assuming it was only used internally.
* Documentation updates for Upstreams in service definition
* Fixes for tests broken by many refactors.
* Enable travis on f-connect branch in this branch too.
* Add consistent Deprecation comments to ProxyDestination uses
* Update version number on deprecation notices, and correct upstream datacenter field with explanation in docs
* 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
- Improve resilience of testrpc.WaitForLeader()
- Add additionall retry to CI
- Increase "go test" timeout to 8m
- Add wait for cluster leader to several tests in the agent package
- Add retry to some tests in the api and command packages
