In Nomad prior to Consul Connect, all Consul checks work the same
except for Script checks. Because the Task being checked is running in
its own container namespaces, the check is executed by Nomad in the
Task's context. If the Script check passes, Nomad uses the TTL check
feature of Consul to update the check status. This means in order to
run a Script check, we need to know what Task to execute it in.
To support Consul Connect, we need Group Services, and these need to
be registered in Consul along with their checks. We could push the
Service down into the Task, but this doesn't work if someone wants to
associate a service with a task's ports, but do script checks in
another task in the allocation.
Because Nomad is handling the Script check and not Consul anyways,
this moves the script check handling into the task runner so that the
task runner can own the script check's configuration and
lifecycle. This will allow us to pass the group service check
configuration down into a task without associating the service itself
with the task.
When tasks are checked for script checks, we walk back through their
task group to see if there are script checks associated with the
task. If so, we'll spin off script check tasklets for them. The
group-level service and any restart behaviors it needs are entirely
encapsulated within the group service hook.
Consul registers Connect services automatically, however Nomad thinks it
owns them due to the _nomad prefix. Since the services are managed by
Consul, Nomad needs to explicitly ignore them or otherwies they will be
removed.
* adds meta object to service in job spec, sends it to consul
* adds tests for service meta
* fix tests
* adds docs
* better hashing for service meta, use helper for copying meta when registering service
* tried to be DRY, but looks like it would be more work to use the
helper function
Fixes#6041
Unlike all other Consul operations, boostrapping requires Consul be
available. This PR tries Consul 3 times with a backoff to account for
the group services being asynchronously registered with Consul.
Fixes#5395
Alternative to #5957
Make task restarting asynchronous when handling check-based restarts.
This matches the pre-0.9 behavior where TaskRunner.Restart was an
asynchronous signal. The check-based restarting code was not designed
to handle blocking in TaskRunner.Restart. 0.9 made it reentrant and
could easily overwhelm the buffered update chan and deadlock.
Many thanks to @byronwolfman for his excellent debugging, PR, and
reproducer!
I created this alternative as changing the functionality of
TaskRunner.Restart has a much larger impact. This approach reverts to
old known-good behavior and minimizes the number of places changes are
made.
When a nomad client restarts/upgraded, nomad restores state from running
task and starts the sync loop. If sync loop runs early, it may
deregister services from Consul prematurely even when Consul has the
running service as healthy.
This is not ideal, as re-registering the service means potentially
waiting a whole service health check interval before declaring the
service healthy.
We attempt to mitigate this by introducing an initialization probation
period. During this time, we only deregister services and checks that
were explicitly deregistered, and leave unrecognized ones alone. This
serves as a grace period for restoring to complete, or for operators to
restore should they recognize they restored with the wrong nomad data
directory.
It is possible to provide multiple identically named services with
different port assignments in a Nomad configuration.
We introduced a regression when migrating to stable service identifiers where
multiple services with the same name would conflict, and the last definition
would take precedence.
This commit includes the port label in the stable service identifier to
allow the previous behaviour where this was supported, for example
providing:
```hcl
service {
name = "redis-cache"
tags = ["global", "cache"]
port = "db"
check {
name = "alive"
type = "tcp"
interval = "10s"
timeout = "2s"
}
}
service {
name = "redis-cache"
tags = ["global", "foo"]
port = "foo"
check {
name = "alive"
type = "tcp"
port = "db"
interval = "10s"
timeout = "2s"
}
}
service {
name = "redis-cache"
tags = ["global", "bar"]
port = "bar"
check {
name = "alive"
type = "tcp"
port = "db"
interval = "10s"
timeout = "2s"
}
}
```
in a nomad task definition is now completely valid. Each service
definition with the same name must still have a unique port label however.
This commit causes sync to skip deregistering checks that are not
managed by nomad, such as service maintenance mode checks. This is
handled in the same way as service registrations - by doing a Nomad
specific prefix match.
The current implementation of Service Registration uses a hash of the
nomad-internal state of a service to register it with Consul, this means that
any update to the service invalidates this name and we then deregister, and
recreate the service in Consul.
While this behaviour slightly simplifies reasoning about service registration,
this becomes problematic when we add consul health checks to a service. When
the service is re-registered, so are the checks, which default to failing for
at least one check period.
This commit migrates us to using a stable identifier based on the
allocation, task, and service identifiers, and uses the difference
between the remote and local state to decide when to push updates.
It uses the existing hashing mechanic to decide when UpdateTask should
regenerate service registrations for providing to Sync, but this should
be removable as part of a future refactor.
It additionally introduces the _nomad-check- prefix for check
definitions, to allow for future allowing of consul features like
maintenance mode.
The driver manager is modeled after the device manager and is started by the client.
It's responsible for handling driver lifecycle and reattachment state, as well as
processing the incomming fingerprint and task events from each driver. The mananger
exposes a method for registering event handlers for task events that is used by the
task runner to update the server when a task has been updated with an event.
Since driver fingerprinting has been implemented by the driver manager, it is no
longer needed in the fingerprint mananger and has been removed.
Since d335a82859ca2177bc6deda0c2c85b559daf2db3 ScriptExecutors now take
a timeout duration instead of a context. This broke the script check
removal code which used context cancelation propagation to remove
script checks while they were executing.
This commit adds a wrapper around ScriptExecutors that obeys context
cancelation again. The only downside is that it leaks a goroutine until
the underlying Exec call completes or timeouts.
Since check removal is relatively rare, check timeouts usually low, and
scripts usually fast, the risk of leaking a goroutine seems very small.
Fixes a regression caused in d335a82859ca2177bc6deda0c2c85b559daf2db3
The removal of the inner context made the remaining cancels cancel the
outer context and cause script checks to exit prematurely.
This PR introduces a device hook that retrieves the device mount
information for an allocation. It also updates the computed node class
computation to take into account devices.
TODO Fix the task runner unit test. The environment variable is being
lost even though it is being properly set in the prestart hook.
This commit fixes an issue where if a nomad client and server shared the same consul instance, the server would deregister any services and checks registered by clients for running tasks.
Guard against Canary being set to false at the same time as an
allocation is being stopped: this could cause RemoveTask to be called
with the wrong Canary value and leaking a service.
Deleting both Canary values is the safest route.
Also refactor Consul ServiceClient to take a struct instead of a massive
set of arguments. Meant updating a lot of code but it should be far
easier to extend in the future as you will only need to update a single
struct instead of every single call site.
Adds an e2e test for canary tags.
Periodically sync services and checks from Nomad to Consul. This is
mostly useful when testing with the Consul dev agent which does not
persist state across restarts. However, this is a reasonable safety
measure to prevent skew between Consul's state and Nomad's
services+checks.
Also modernized the test suite a bit.
