At the start of the monitor tick, the monitor pending status is set to the
value of the current server status. This allows the informative and
history bits to survive even if a server goes down.
To make sure that no stale state bits are in effect when the post_tick
method is called, the pending status must be cleared of all status bits.
The core library now contains the maxscale_shutdown() command. This makes
it possible to resolve all symbols at link time even for administrative
modules.
MaxScale now defines events for which the syslog
facility and level can explicitly be defined by the
administrator. Currently there is only one such
event, namelt AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE.
In a subsequent commit, config.cc will be modified so
that event-related configuration parameters are passed
to event::configure() and in another subsequent commit
the authenticators will be modifed to use this mechanism.
In practice a line like:
MXS_WARNING("%s: login attempt for user '%s'@[%s]:%s, "
"authentication failed.",
dcb->service->name, client_data->user,
dcb->remote, dcb->path);
will be changed to
MXS_LOG_EVENT(event::AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE,
"%s: login attempt for user '%s'@[%s]:%s, "
"authentication failed.",
dcb->service->name, client_data->user,
dcb->remote, dcb->path);
Allowing calls to select_connect_backend_servers even when all slaves are
connected solves the debug assertion in select_connect_backend_servers
that happens when the execution of a queued query causes a new connection
to be created.
In principle a syslog priority consists of a syslog level
bit-or:d with a syslog facility. That's clear from the syslog
man page, but not so clear from the code in syslog.h.
Anyway, to make it possible to log using a specific facility
(instead of the default LOG_USER), we must allow priorities
that include a specified facility.
When a client connection is closed by MaxScale before the client initiates
a controlled closing of the connection, an error message is sent. This
error message now also explains why the connection was closed to make
problem resolution easier.
Servers in MaxScale can encrypt the connections without client keys and
certificates. As keys and certificates are no longer required, the CA
certificate must always be initialized.
The value was unconditionally dereferenced even if the data type did not
have metadata. In this case the pointer would point to unallocated memory
which can lead to a crash.
When a listener is created at runtime or SSL is being enabled for an
already created listener, the ssl_verify_peer_certificate parameter can
now be defined.
MonitorInstanceSimple is intended for simple monitors that
probe servers in a straightforward fashion. More complex monitors
can be derived directly from MonitorInstance.
