The admin files are now created with 640 permissions and automatically
created directories now properly set the permissions for the group as
well. All files and directories created by avrorouter and binlogrouter
also now correctly limit the read and write permissions only to the owner
and the group.
The runtime configuration of a MaxScale can now be exported to a single
file. This allows modifications made via runtime configuration commands to
be "committed" for later use.
Tracking how many times the monitor has performed its monitoring allows
the test framework to consistently wait for an event instead of waiting
for a hard-coded time period. The MaxCtrl `api get` command can be used to
easily extract the numeric value.
Defining the [maxscale] section in a configuration file that is not the
root configuration file is now treated as an error instead of silently
ignored.
Fixed string truncation warnings by reducing max parameter lengths by one
where applicable. The binlogrouter filename lengths are slightly different
so using memcpy to work around the warnings is an adequate "solution"
until the root of the problem is solved.
Removed unnecessary CMake policy settings from qc_sqlite. Adding a
self-dependency on the source file of an external project has no effect
and only caused warnings to be logged.
The documentation stated that all CPUs would be used when threads=auto was
used. In reality the behavior was the same as was with 2.0 (number of CPUs
minus one).
With the configuration entry
dump_last_statements=[never|on_close|on_error]
you can now specify when and if to dump the last statements
of of a session.
With the configuration entry
retain_last_statements=<unsigned>
or the debug flag '--debug=retain-last-statements=<unsigned>',
MaxScale will store the specified number of last statements
for each session. By calling
session_dump_statements(session);
MaxScale will dump the last statements as NOTICE messages.
For debugging purposes.
If a MaxScale-generated configuration defines an empty value, it is
ignored with the assumption that the next modification will cause the
problem to correct itself.
Add missing listener JSON diagnostics call. Check that the
diagnostics_json function exists before calling it.
As the protocol modules don't have diagnostics functions, they aren't
called.
Replace hard-coded strings with constant parameters. This makes it
slightly cleaner.
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.
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.
