Now that alloc.Canonicalize() is called in all alloc sources in the
client (i.e. on state restore and RPC fetching), we no longer need to
check alloc.TaskResources.
alloc.AllocatedResources is always non-nil through alloc runner.
Though, early on, we check for alloc validity, so NewTaskRunner and
TaskEnv must still check. `TestClient_AddAllocError` test validates
that behavior.
In 0.10.2 (specifically 387b016) we added interpolation to group
service blocks and centralized the logic for task environment
interpolation. This wasn't also added to script checks, which caused a
regression where the IDs for script checks for services w/
interpolated fields (ex. the service name) didn't match the service ID
that was registered with Consul.
This changeset calls the same taskenv interpolation logic during
`script_check` configuration, and adds tests to reduce the risk of
future regressions by comparing the IDs of service hook and the check hook.
Operators commonly have docker logs aggregated using various tools and
don't need nomad to manage their docker logs. Worse, Nomad uses a
somewhat heavy docker api call to collect them and it seems to cause
problems when a client runs hundreds of log collections.
Here we add a knob to disable log aggregation completely for nomad.
When log collection is disabled, we avoid running logmon and
docker_logger for the docker tasks in this implementation.
The downside here is once disabled, `nomad logs ...` commands and API
no longer return logs and operators must corrolate alloc-ids with their
aggregated log info.
This is meant as a stop gap measure. Ideally, we'd follow up with at
least two changes:
First, we should optimize behavior when we can such that operators don't
need to disable docker log collection. Potentially by reverting to
using pre-0.9 syslog aggregation in linux environments, though with
different trade-offs.
Second, when/if logs are disabled, nomad logs endpoints should lookup
docker logs api on demand. This ensures that the cost of log collection
is paid sparingly.
* client: improve group service stanza interpolation and check_restart support
Interpolation can now be done on group service stanzas. Note that some task runtime specific information
that was previously available when the service was registered poststart of a task is no longer available.
The check_restart stanza for checks defined on group services will now properly restart the allocation upon
check failures if configured.
makeAllocTaskServices did not do a nil check on AllocatedResources
which causes a panic when upgrading directly from 0.8 to 0.10. While
skipping 0.9 is not supported we intend to fix serious crashers caused
by such upgrades to prevent cluster outages.
I did a quick audit of the client package and everywhere else that
accesses AllocatedResources appears to be properly guarded by a nil
check.

The prestart hook for templates blocks while it resolves vault secrets.
If the secret is not found it continues to retry. If a task is shutdown
during this time, the prestart hook currently does not receive
shutdownCtxCancel, causing it to hang.
This PR joins the two contexts so either killCtx or shutdownCtx cancel
and stop the task.
Currently, there is an issue when running on Windows whereby under some
circumstances the Windows stats API's will begin to return errors (such
as internal timeouts) when a client is under high load, and potentially
other forms of resource contention / system states (and other unknown
cases).
When an error occurs during this collection, we then short circuit
further metrics emission from the client until the next interval.
This can be problematic if it happens for a sustained number of
intervals, as our metrics aggregator will begin to age out older
metrics, and we will eventually stop emitting various types of metrics
including `nomad.client.unallocated.*` metrics.
However, when metrics collection fails on Linux, gopsutil will in many cases
(e.g cpu.Times) silently return 0 values, rather than an error.
Here, we switch to returning empty metrics in these failures, and
logging the error at the source. This brings the behaviour into line
with Linux/Unix platforms, and although making aggregation a little
sadder on intermittent failures, will result in more desireable overall
behaviour of keeping metrics available for further investigation if
things look unusual.
Currently, using a Volume in a job uses the following configuration:
```
volume "alias-name" {
type = "volume-type"
read_only = true
config {
source = "host_volume_name"
}
}
```
This commit migrates to the following:
```
volume "alias-name" {
type = "volume-type"
source = "host_volume_name"
read_only = true
}
```
The original design was based due to being uncertain about the future of storage
plugins, and to allow maxium flexibility.
However, this causes a few issues, namely:
- We frequently need to parse this configuration during submission,
scheduling, and mounting
- It complicates the configuration from and end users perspective
- It complicates the ability to do validation
As we understand the problem space of CSI a little more, it has become
clear that we won't need the `source` to be in config, as it will be
used in the majority of cases:
- Host Volumes: Always need a source
- Preallocated CSI Volumes: Always needs a source from a volume or claim name
- Dynamic Persistent CSI Volumes*: Always needs a source to attach the volumes
to for managing upgrades and to avoid dangling.
- Dynamic Ephemeral CSI Volumes*: Less thought out, but `source` will probably point
to the plugin name, and a `config` block will
allow you to pass meta to the plugin. Or will
point to a pre-configured ephemeral config.
*If implemented
The new design simplifies this by merging the source into the volume
stanza to solve the above issues with usability, performance, and error
handling.
Splitting the immutable and mutable components of the scriptCheck led
to a bug where the environment interpolation wasn't being incorporated
into the check's ID, which caused the UpdateTTL to update for a check
ID that Consul didn't have (because our Consul client creates the ID
from the structs.ServiceCheck each time we update).
Task group services don't have access to a task environment at
creation, so their checks get registered before the check can be
interpolated. Use the original check ID so they can be updated.
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.
* connect: add unix socket to proxy grpc for envoy
Fixes#6124
Implement a L4 proxy from a unix socket inside a network namespace to
Consul's gRPC endpoint on the host. This allows Envoy to connect to
Consul's xDS configuration API.
* connect: pointer receiver on structs with mutexes
* connect: warn on all proxy errors
* 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.
When rendering a task template, the `plugin` function is no longer
permitted by default and will raise an error. An operator can opt-in
to permitting this function with the new `template.function_blacklist`
field in the client configuration.
When rendering a task template, path parameters for the `file`
function will be treated as relative to the task directory by
default. Relative paths or symlinks that point outside the task
directory will raise an error. An operator can opt-out of this
protection with the new `template.disable_file_sandbox` field in the
client configuration.
When rendering a task consul template, ensure that only task environment
variables are used.
Currently, `consul-template` always falls back to host process
environment variables when key isn't a task env var[1]. Thus, we add
an empty entry for each host process env-var not found in task env-vars.

Adds a new Prerun and Postrun hooks to manage set up of network namespaces
on linux. Work still needs to be done to make the code platform agnostic and
support Docker style network initalization.
Previously, if a channel is closed, we retry the Stats call. But, if that call
fails, we go in a backoff loop without calling Stats ever again.
Here, we use a utility function for calling driverHandle.Stats call that retries
as one expects.
I aimed to preserve the logging formats but made small improvements as I saw fit.
When an alloc runner prestart hook fails, the task runners aren't invoked
and they remain in a pending state.
This leads to terrible results, some of which are:
* Lockup in GC process as reported in https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/5861
* Lockup in shutdown process as TR.Shutdown() waits for WaitCh to be closed
* Alloc not being restarted/rescheduled to another node (as it's still in
pending state)
* Unexpected restart of alloc on a client restart, potentially days/weeks after
alloc expected start time!
Here, we treat all tasks to have failed if alloc runner prestart hook fails.
This fixes the lockups, and permits the alloc to be rescheduled on another node.
While it's desirable to retry alloc runner in such failures, I opted to treat it
out of scope. I'm afraid of some subtles about alloc and task runners and their
idempotency that's better handled in a follow up PR.
This might be one of the root causes for
https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/5840 .
This change fixes a bug where nomad would avoid running alloc tasks if
the alloc is client terminal but the server copy on the client isn't
marked as running.
Here, we fix the case by having task runner uses the
allocRunner.shouldRun() instead of only checking the server updated
alloc.
Here, we preserve much of the invariants such that `tr.Run()` is always
run, and don't change the overall alloc runner and task runner
lifecycles.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/5883
Currently, if killTask results in the termination of a process before
calling WaitTask, Restart() will incorrectly return a TaskNotFound
error when using the raw_exec driver on Windows.
We currently only run cleanup Service Hooks when a task is either
Killed, or Exited. However, due to the implementation of a task runner,
tasks are only Exited if they every correctly started running, which is
not true when you recieve an error early in the task start flow, such as
not being able to pull secrets from Vault.
This updates the service hook to also call consul deregistration
routines during a task Stop lifecycle event, to ensure that any
registered checks and services are cleared in such cases.

When a client is running against an old server (e.g. running 0.8),
`alloc.AllocatedResources` may be nil, and we need to check the
deprecated `alloc.TaskResources` instead.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/5810
This fixes an issue where batch and service workloads would never be
restarted due to indefinitely blocking on a nil channel.
It also raises the restoration logging message to `Info` to simplify log
analysis.
Registration and restoring allocs don't share state or depend on each
other in any way (syncing allocs with servers is done outside of
registration).
Since restoring is synchronous, start the registration goroutine first.
For nodes with lots of allocs to restore or close to their heartbeat
deadline, this could be the difference between becoming "lost" or not.

Switch the MarkLive method for a chan that is closed by the client.
Thanks to @notnoop for the idea!
The old approach called a method on most existing ARs and TRs on every
runAllocs call. The new approach does a once.Do call in runAllocs to
accomplish the same thing with less work. Able to remove the gate
abstraction that did much more than was needed.
Fixes#1795
Running restored allocations and pulling what allocations to run from
the server happen concurrently. This means that if a client is rebooted,
and has its allocations rescheduled, it may restart the dead allocations
before it contacts the server and determines they should be dead.
This commit makes tasks that fail to reattach on restore wait until the
server is contacted before restarting.

Currently, when logmon fails to reattach, we will retry reattachment to
the same pid until the task restart specification is exhausted.
Because we cannot clear hook state during error conditions, it is not
possible for us to signal to a future restart that it _shouldn't_
attempt to reattach to the plugin.
Here we revert to explicitly detecting reattachment seperately from a
launch of a new logmon, so we can recover from scenarios where a logmon
plugin has failed.
This is a net improvement over the current hard failure situation, as it
means in the most common case (the pid has gone away), we can recover.
Other reattachment failure modes where the plugin may still be running
could potentially cause a duplicate process, or a subsequent failure to launch
a new plugin.
If there was a duplicate process, it could potentially cause duplicate
logging. This is better than a production workload outage.
If there was a subsequent failure to launch a new plugin, it would fail
in the same (retry until restarts are exhausted) as the current failure
mode.
Remove runLaunched tracking as Run is *always* called for killable
TaskRunners. TaskRunners which fail before Run can be called (during
NewTaskRunner or Restore) are not killable as they're never added to the
client's alloc map.
I chose to make them more of integration tests since there's a lot more
plumbing involved. The internal implementation details of how we craft
task envs can now change and these tests will still properly assert the
task runtime environment is setup properly.
Builds upon earlier commit that cleans up restored handles of terminal
allocs by also emitting terminated events and calling exited hooks when
appropriate.
The test is sadly quite complicated and peeks into things (logmon's
reattach config) AR doesn't normally have access to.
However, I couldn't find another way of asserting logmon got cleaned up
without resorting to smaller unit tests. Smaller unit tests risk
re-implementing dependencies in an unrealistic way, so I opted for an
ugly integration test.
This commit is a significant change. TR.Run is now always executed, even
for terminal allocations. This was changed to allow TR.Run to cleanup
(run stop hooks) if a handle was recovered.
This is intended to handle the case of Nomad receiving a
DesiredStatus=Stop allocation update, persisting it, but crashing before
stopping AR/TR.
The commit also renames task runner hook data as it was very easy to
accidently set state on Requests instead of Responses using the old
field names.
This code chooses to be conservative as opposed to optimal: when failing
to reattach to logmon simply return a recoverable error instead of
immediately trying to restart logmon.
The recoverable error will cause the task's restart policy to be
applied and a new logmon will be launched upon restart.
Trying to do the optimal approach of simply starting a new logmon
requires error string comparison and should be tested against a task
actively logging to assert the behavior (are writes blocked? dropped?).
