* Mesh Gateway doc enhancements
1. I believe this line should be corrected to add mesh as one of the choices
2. I found that we are not setting this meta, and it is a required element for wan federation. I believe it would be helpful and potentially time saving to note that right here.
Before this change trying to run `nomad operator raft {info,logs}` on an
inuse raft.db would cause the command to block until the agent using
raft.db is closed.
After this change the command will block for 1s before returning a
(hopefully) helpful error message.
This change also sets the ReadOnly mode on the underlying BoltDb to
ensure diagnostics make no changes to the underlying store. We have no
evidence this has ever occurred, but it seems like a useful safety
measure.
No changelog added since this is a minor tweak in a "new" feature (it
was hidden in previous relases).
The `nomad operator raft logs` command uses a raft helper that reads
in the logs from raft and serializes them to JSON. The previous
implementation returned the slice of all logs and then serializes the
entire object. Update the helper to stream the log entries and then
serialize them as newline-delimited JSON.
The `nomad operator raft` and `nomad operator snapshot state`
subcommands for inspecting on-disk raft state were hidden and
undocumented. Expose and document these so that advanced operators
have support for these tools.
Use the new filtering and pagination capabilities of the `Eval.List`
RPC to provide filtering and pagination at the command line.
Also includes note that `nomad eval status -json` is deprecated and
will be replaced with a single evaluation view in a future version of
Nomad.
When a cluster doesn't have a leader, the `nomad operator debug`
command can safely use stale queries to gracefully degrade the
consistency of almost all its queries. The query parameter for these
API calls was not being set by the command.
Some `api` package queries do not include `QueryOptions` because
they target a specific agent, but they can potentially be forwarded to
other agents. If there is no leader, these forwarded queries will
fail. Provide methods to call these APIs with `QueryOptions`.
Some operators use very long group/task `shutdown_delay` settings to
safely drain network connections to their workloads after service
deregistration. But during incident response, they may want to cause
that drain to be skipped so they can quickly shed load.
Provide a `-no-shutdown-delay` flag on the `nomad alloc stop` and
`nomad job stop` commands that bypasses the delay. This sets a new
desired transition state on the affected allocations that the
allocation/task runner will identify during pre-kill on the client.
Note (as documented here) that using this flag will almost always
result in failed inbound network connections for workloads as the
tasks will exit before clients receive updated service discovery
information and won't be gracefully drained.
