Source parameter in NamedServerFilter can now contain a list of source
addresses seperated by comma. This parameter is parsed into a list of ip
addresses and checked against incoming client connections.
The current monitor detects the extra slave connection before
failover is launched, turning the entire feature off. That part of
the test has been removed.
The monitor JSON is now more closely inspected before the actual monitor
is allocated. This prevents creation of monitors without credentials which
was previously possible.
The monitor alteration was also changed to stop and start the monitor only
once instead of stopping and starting after each parameter
modification. This prevents multi-parameter updates from failing due to
monitors seeing a partial set of the new values. Currently only the
`replication_user` and `replication_password` parameters could cause this.
If a service was created at runtime, it would be in the Allocated state
until it was stopped. The serviceStart function isn't necessary from a
functional point of view (a new service cannot have listeners that need
starting) but it does set the correct state and it's the "right" thing to
do.
Monitors created via the REST API that were started and configured
successfully should also be started. This removes the extra step of
starting the monitor after creating it.
The executable name of the PID is now checked to be maxscale. This fixes
the problem where MaxScale would refuse to start if a stale PID file had a
PID of a process that's not a MaxScale process.
Enabling it will give a performance improvement and it offloads work from
the CPU. This leads to better and more complete utilization of system
resources.
The master server of a monitor can now be extracted with the
mon_get_external_master function. It uses the REST API to find a master
server in the set of servers monitored by a monitor.
The test does a request and prints the responses. It is done to see that
the functionality works. Also added a timeout of 10 seconds to both the
connection and data transfer phases.
When the replication status from the external master is checked, the
pending status must be used. This makes sure that the SlaveStatusArray and
the server state are sync.
Also extended the message that was logged when the external master was
lost. By adding the network address there, it makes it easier to see where
the server was replicating from if only the log file is available.
The server allows both unencrypted and encrypted connections on the same
port. MaxScale only allows either encrypted or unencrypted
connections. The differences as well as the reasoning for this need to be
documented.
Services, monitors and filters all use the parameters for object
serialization. This means that when the object is created, the module
parameter must be in the parameter list.
The iterator to the buffer isn't really needed as the beginning of the
buffer can be used instead. This should make the code more robust. Changed
the internal buffer from a vector to a deque as the latter is more
appropriate for insertion on one end and consumption on the other.
