* Read config before creating logger when booting vault server
* Allow for specifying log output in JSON format in a config file, via a 'log_level' flag
* Create parser for log format flag
* Allow for specifying log format in a config file, via a 'log_format' flag. Also, get rid of 'log_json' flag.
* Add 'log-format' command line flag
* Update documentation to include description of log_format setting
* Tweak comment for VAULT_LOG_FORMAT environment variable
* add test for ParseEnvLogFormat()
* clarify how log format is set
* fix typos in documentation
* Set MaxIdleConns to reduce connection churn (postgresql physical)
* Make new "max_idle_connection" config option for physical postgresql
* Add docs for "max_idle_connections" for postgresql storage
* Add minimum version to docs for max_idle_connections
* http timeout fields are configurable
* move return statement for server config tests outside of range loop
* adds documentation for configurable listener http_* values
* fixed some formatting for the docs markdown
Prometheus metrics were added as part of the Vault v1.1.0 release in PR #5308.
But no documentation was created. Adds the telemetry configuration docs and
the API docs.
* Configurable lock and request etcd timeouts.
If etcd cluster placed on slow servers - request timeouts may be much greater, then hardcoded default values.
Also, in etcd setup, like above - may be need to greater lock timeout.
* Configurable lock and request etcd timeouts.
Docs.
* Use user friendly timeout syntax.
To allow specify more readable time values.
* Fix typo in documentation
* Update fdb-go-install.sh for new release tags
* Exclude FoundationDB bindings from vendoring, delete vendored copy
FoundationDB bindings are tightly coupled to the server version and
client library version used in a specific deployment. Bindings need
to be installed using the fdb-go-install.sh script, as documented in
the foundationdb backend documentation.
* Add TLS support to FoundationDB backend
TLS support appeared in FoundationDB 5.2.4, raising the minimum API version
for TLS-aware FoundationDB code to 520.
* Update documentation for FoundationDB TLS support
This changes the behavior of the GCPCKMS auto-unsealer setup to attempt
encryption instead of a key lookup. Key lookups are a different API
method not covered by roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter. This
means users must grant an extended scope to their service account
(granting the ability to read key data) which only seems to be used to
validate the existence of the key.
Worse, the only roles that include this permission are overly verbose
(e.g. roles/viewer which gives readonly access to everything in the
project and roles/cloudkms.admin which gives full control over all key
operations). This leaves the user stuck between choosing to create a
custom IAM role (which isn't fun) or grant overly broad permissions.
By changing to an encrypt call, we get better verification of the unseal
permissions and users can reduce scope to a single role.
When configuring DynamoDB, the read and write capacities configured only
have any effect if the table does not exist. As per the comment in the
code [1], the configuration of an existing table is never modified. This
was not previously reflected in the documentation - this commit
rectifies that.
