- Moved federation docs to the bottom since *everyone* is potentially
affected by the other sections on the page, but only users of
federation are affected by it.
- Added section on the plan for node rejected bug since it is fairly
easy to diagnose and removing affected nodes is a fairly reliable
workaround.
- Mention 5s cliff for wait_for_index.
- Remove the lie that we do not have job status metrics! How old was
that?!
- Reinforce the importance of monitoring basic system resources
This PR expands on the work done in #12543 to
- prefix the tag, so it is now "nomad.alloc_id" to be more consistent with Consul tags
- merge into pre-existing envoy_stats_tags fields
- update the upgrade guide docs
- update changelog
Custom variable validation is a useful feature that is supported by
Nomad and not just Terraform. As such it should be documented on the
input variable page.
I've cribbed the content from the terraform docs so this should be
consistent across projects
We introduced a `pprof-interval` argument to `operator debug` in #11938, and unfortunately this has resulted in a lot of test flakes. The actual command in use is mostly fine (although I've fixed some quirks here), so what's really happened is that the change has revealed some existing issues in the tests. Summary of changes:
* Make first pprof collection synchronous to preserve the existing
behavior for the common case where the pprof interval matches the
duration.
* Clamp `operator debug` pprof timing to that of the command. The
`pprof-duration` should be no more than `duration` and the
`pprof-interval` should be no more than `pprof-duration`. Clamp the
values rather than throwing errors, which could change the commands
that existing users might already have in debugging scripts
* Testing: remove test parallelism
The `operator debug` tests that stand up servers can't be run in
parallel, because we don't have a way of canceling the API calls for
pprof. The agent will still be running the last pprof when we exit,
and that breaks the next test that talks to that same agent.
(Because you can only run one pprof at a time on any process!)
We could split off each subtest into its own server, but this test
suite is already very slow. In future work we should fix this "for
real" by making the API call cancelable.
* Testing: assert against unexpected errors in `operator debug` tests.
If we assert there are no unexpected error outputs, it's easier for
the developer to debug when something is going wrong with the tests
because the error output will be presented as a failing test, rather
than just a failing exit code check. Or worse, no failing exit code
check!
This also forces us to be explicit about which tests will return 0
exit codes but still emit (presumably ignorable) error outputs.
Additional minor bug fixes (mostly in tests) and test refactorings:
* Fix text alignment on pprof Duration in `operator debug` output
* Remove "done" channel from `operator debug` event stream test. The
goroutine we're blocking for here already tells us it's done by
sending a value, so block on that instead of an extraneous channel
* Event stream test timer should start at current time, not zero
* Remove noise from `operator debug` test log output. The `t.Logf`
calls already are picked out from the rest of the test output by
being prefixed with the filename.
* Remove explicit pprof args so we use the defaults clamped from
duration/interval
Move some common Vault API data struct decoding out of the Vault client
so it can be reused in other situations.
Make Vault job validation its own function so it's easier to expand it.
Rename the `Job.VaultPolicies` method to just `Job.Vault` since it
returns the full Vault block, not just their policies.
Set `ChangeMode` on `Vault.Canonicalize`.
Add some missing tests.
Allows specifying an entity alias that will be used by Nomad when
deriving the task Vault token.
An entity alias assigns an indentity to a token, allowing better control
and management of Vault clients since all tokens with the same indentity
alias will now be considered the same client. This helps track Nomad
activity in Vault's audit logs and better control over Vault billing.
Add support for a new Nomad server configuration to define a default
entity alias to be used when deriving Vault tokens. This default value
will be used if the task doesn't have an entity alias defined.
The client configuration options for drivers have been deprecated
since 0.9. We haven't torn them out completely but because they're
deprecated it's been hard to guarantee correct behavior. Remove the
documentation so that users aren't misled about their viability.
Resolves#12095 by WONTFIXing it.
This approach disables `writeToFile` as it allows arbitrary host
filesystem writes and is only a small quality of life improvement over
multiple `template` stanzas.
This approach has the significant downside of leaving people who have
altered their `template.function_denylist` *still vulnerable!* I added
an upgrade note, but we should have implemented the denylist as a
`map[string]bool` so that new funcs could be denied without overriding
custom configurations.
This PR also includes a bug fix that broke enabling all consul-template
funcs. We repeatedly failed to differentiate between a nil (unset)
denylist and an empty (allow all) one.
Pass-through the `-secret` and `-parameter` flags to allow setting
parameters for the snapshot and overriding the secrets we've stored on
the CSI volume in the state store.
This PR introduces support for using Nomad on systems with cgroups v2 [1]
enabled as the cgroups controller mounted on /sys/fs/cgroups. Newer Linux
distros like Ubuntu 21.10 are shipping with cgroups v2 only, causing problems
for Nomad users.
Nomad mostly "just works" with cgroups v2 due to the indirection via libcontainer,
but not so for managing cpuset cgroups. Before, Nomad has been making use of
a feature in v1 where a PID could be a member of more than one cgroup. In v2
this is no longer possible, and so the logic around computing cpuset values
must be modified. When Nomad detects v2, it manages cpuset values in-process,
rather than making use of cgroup heirarchy inheritence via shared/reserved
parents.
Nomad will only activate the v2 logic when it detects cgroups2 is mounted at
/sys/fs/cgroups. This means on systems running in hybrid mode with cgroups2
mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups/unified (as is typical) Nomad will continue to
use the v1 logic, and should operate as before. Systems that do not support
cgroups v2 are also not affected.
When v2 is activated, Nomad will create a parent called nomad.slice (unless
otherwise configured in Client conifg), and create cgroups for tasks using
naming convention <allocID>-<task>.scope. These follow the naming convention
set by systemd and also used by Docker when cgroups v2 is detected.
Client nodes now export a new fingerprint attribute, unique.cgroups.version
which will be set to 'v1' or 'v2' to indicate the cgroups regime in use by
Nomad.
The new cpuset management strategy fixes#11705, where docker tasks that
spawned processes on startup would "leak". In cgroups v2, the PIDs are
started in the cgroup they will always live in, and thus the cause of
the leak is eliminated.

When a node is drained, system jobs are left until last so that
operators can rely on things like log shippers running even as their
applications are getting drained off. Include CSI plugins in this set
so that Controller plugins deployed as services can be handled as
gracefully as Node plugins that are running as system jobs.
The previous output of the `nomad server members` command would output a
column named `Protocol` that displayed the Serf protocol being currently
used by servers.
This is not a configurable option, so it holds very little value to
operators. It is also easy to confuse it with the Raft Protocol version,
which is configurable and highly relevant to operators.
This commit replaces the previous `Protocol` column with the new `Raft
Version`. It also updates the `-detailed` flag to be called `-verbose`
so it matches other commands. The detailed output now also outputs the
same information as the standard output with the addition of the
previous `Protocol` column and `Tags`.
When a Nomad server becomes the Raft leader, it must perform several
actions defined in the establishLeadership function. If any of these
actions fail, Raft will think the node is the leader, but it will not
actually be able to act as a Nomad leader.
In this scenario, leadership must be revoked and transferred to another
server if possible, or the node should retry the establishLeadership
steps.
Clarify the behavior of `restart` inheritance with respect to Connect
sidecar tasks. Remove incorrect language about the scheduler being
involved in restart decisions. Try to make the `delay` mode
documentation more clear, and provide examples of delay vs fail.
The Docker DNS configuration options are not compatible with a
group-level network in `bridge` mode. Warn users about this in the
Docker task configuration docs.
The RPC for listing volume snapshots requires a plugin ID. Update the
`volume snapshot list` command to find the specific plugin from the
provided prefix.
