If a listener section specifies both a 'socket' and a 'port' the
creation will fail with a clear error message.
If 'address' and 'socket' is specified, there will be a warning that
the address is meaningless.
It is now impossible to create two listeners for a service that
would listen on the same port/socket (as before), but the error
message is now sensible and provides detailed information to the
user.
"servers_no_promotion" is a comma-separated list of servers
which cannot be chosen when selecting a new master during failover
(auto or manual), or when automatically selecting a new master
for switchover (currently disabled).
The servers in the list are redirected normally and can be promoted
by switchover when manually selecting a new master.
Since a shutdown message will now be sent via the regular epoll route,
there is no need to regularily wake up from epoll in order to check
whether shutdown has been initiated, but we can simply wait in epoll_wait
until told to wake up.
As the object name formatting is automated, so should the formatting of
object names in arguments. This also makes 2.2 backwards compatible with
2.1 commands.
The internal header directory conflicted with in-source builds causing a
build failure. This is fixed by renaming the internal header directory to
something other than maxscale.
The renaming pointed out a few problems in a couple of source files that
appeared to include internal headers when the headers were in fact public
headers.
Fixed maxctrl in-source builds by making the copying of the sources
optional.
The error message was not 100% accurate about the value. In addition to
that, neither the value itself nor the monitor or parameter names were
printed in the error message.
When pre-parsing the configuration file, the existence of environment
variables is only done for the [maxscale] section. For other sections
a nicer error message is obtained if the comlplaint is made when the
configuration file is actually loaded.
Mechanism for providing custom error message from the pre-parsing
function added.
If 'substitute_variables' has been set to true, then the value of
a parameter like `some_param=$SOME_VAR' is replaced with the value
of the environment variable 'SOME_VAR'.
It is a fatal error to refer to a variable that does not exist.
With this variables set to true, if $VAR is used as a value in the
configuration file, then `$VAR` will be replaced with the value of
the environment variable VAR.
The `failover` and `failover_timeout` parameters are now declared as a
part of the mysqlmon module. Changed the implementation of the failover
function so that the dependencies on the monitor struct can be removed or
moved into parameters.
The failover command is simulated by executing a call to /usr/bin/echo
with all possible monitor parameters. This allows testing of the failover
mechanism without actually using the failover command.
The timestamp of the last change from passive to active is now
tracked. This, with the timestamps of the last master_down and master_up
events, allows detection of cases when MaxScale was failed over but the
failover was not done.
Currently, only a warning is logged if no new master has appeared within
90 seconds of a master_down event and MaxScale was set to active from
passive.
The last event and when the event was triggered is now shown for all
servers. The latest change from passive to active is also shown.
The `passive` parameter can be given in the configuration file or on the
command line. It is displayed in the diagnostic output and changes to it
are persisted.
The variable itself does nothing.
Only the protocol, port and address of the listener were used to check if
a listener exists. The check should also use the name of the listener to
be sure that each name is unique.
Expanded tests to check that the creation of duplicate listeners is
detected. Did minor improvements to related test code.
If a destroyed monitor is created again, it will be reused. This should
prevent excessive memory growth when the same monitor is created and
destroyed again.
The setting parsing is now similar to the other server settings.
The header is printed if log_info is on.
Changed the setting name to simply "proxy_protocol".
Updated documentation.
All resoures now use the `state` member to describe their internal
state. This includes servers, services and monitors. This means that the
`status` keyword can be reserved for something else and it can be removed
until it is needed again.
Changed the module maturity field to `maturity` to better describe its
purpose.
The feedback system wasn't used and was starting to cause problems on
Debian 9 where the libcurl required different version of OpenSSL than what
MaxScale was linked against.
