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.

# Proxy Defaults
|
|
|
|
The `proxy-defaults` config entry kind allows for configuring global config
|
|
defaults across all services for Connect proxy configuration. Currently, only
|
|
one global entry is supported.
|
|
|
|
## Sample Config Entries
|
|
|
|
Set the default protocol for all sidecar proxies:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
kind = "proxy-defaults"
|
|
name = "global"
|
|
config {
|
|
protocol = "http"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set proxy-specific defaults:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
kind = "proxy-defaults"
|
|
name = "global"
|
|
config {
|
|
local_connect_timeout_ms = 1000
|
|
handshake_timeout_ms = 10000
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Available Fields
|
|
|
|
- `Kind` - Must be set to `proxy-defaults`
|
|
|
|
- `Name` - Must be set to `global`
|
|
|
|
- `Config` `(map[string]arbitrary)` - An arbitrary map of configuration values used by Connect proxies.
|
|
The available configurations depend on the Connect proxy you use. Any values
|
|
that your proxy allows can be configured globally here. To
|
|
explore these options please see the documentation for your chosen proxy.

|
|
* [Consul's built-in proxy](/docs/connect/proxies/built-in.html)
|
|
|
|
- `MeshGateway` `(MeshGatewayConfig: <optional>)` - Controls the default
|
|
[mesh gateway configuration](/docs/connect/mesh_gateway.html#connect-proxy-configuration)
|
|
for all proxies. Added in v1.6.0.
|
|
|
|
- `Mode` `(string: "")` - One of `none`, `local`, or `remote`.
|
|
|
|
- `Expose` `(ExposeConfig: <optional>)` - Controls the default
|
|
[expose path configuration](/docs/connect/registration/service-registration.html#expose-paths-configuration-reference)
|
|
for Envoy. Added in v1.6.2.
|
|
|
|
Exposing paths through Envoy enables a service to protect itself by only listening on localhost, while still allowing
|
|
non-Connect-enabled applications to contact an HTTP endpoint.
|
|
Some examples include: exposing a `/metrics` path for Prometheus or `/healthz` for kubelet liveness checks.
|
|
|
|
- `Checks` `(bool: false)` - If enabled, all HTTP and gRPC checks registered with the agent are exposed through Envoy.
|
|
Envoy will expose listeners for these checks and will only accept connections originating from localhost or Consul's
|
|
[advertise address](/docs/agent/options.html#advertise). The port for these listeners are dynamically allocated from
|
|
[expose_min_port](/docs/agent/options.html#expose_min_port) to [expose_max_port](/docs/agent/options.html#expose_max_port).
|
|
This flag is useful when a Consul client cannot reach registered services over localhost. One example is when running
|
|
Consul on Kubernetes, and Consul agents run in their own pods.
|
|
- `Paths` `array<Path>: []` - A list of paths to expose through Envoy.
|
|
- `Path` `(string: "")` - The HTTP path to expose. The path must be prefixed by a slash. ie: `/metrics`.
|
|
- `LocalPathPort` `(int: 0)` - The port where the local service is listening for connections to the path.
|
|
- `ListenerPort` `(int: 0)` - The port where the proxy will listen for connections. This port must be available
|
|
for the listener to be set up. If the port is not free then Envoy will not expose a listener for the path,
|
|
but the proxy registration will not fail.
|
|
- `Protocol` `(string: "http")` - Sets the protocol of the listener. One of `http` or `http2`. For gRPC use `http2`.

## ACLs
|
|
|
|
Configuration entries may be protected by
|
|
[ACLs](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/security-networking/production-acls).
|
|
|
|
Reading a `proxy-defaults` config entry requires no specific privileges.
|
|
|
|
Creating, updating, or deleting a `proxy-defaults` config entry requires
|
|
`operator:write`.
