Currently the large image can load in Slack (or other
clients that expand links) and dominate the viewport.

This is just following the pattern from a recent
change to the Terraform website in https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-website/pull/214

📝 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.

Updates documentation for consul validate.
This makes it clear that you need to pass the full configuration,
and that the command won't work with config fragments.

Clarify the docs around script check timeout behavior 2017-10-11 14:55:55 -07:00
Kyle Havlovitz eea2bd2753 Kill check processes after the timeout is reached (#3567)
* 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

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.

Frank Schröder fa22ad4573 config: add generic method to translate between CamelCase and snake_case (#3557)
* 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

James Phillips d1ad538345 Makes RPC handling more robust when rolling servers. (#3561)
* 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.
