Since localtime is not thread-safe it should not be used in multithreaded
contexts. For this reason all calls to localtime were changed to localtime_r
in code where concurrency issues were possible.
Internal tests were left unchanged because they aren't multithreaded.
Claiming that the loading of maxscale.cnf failed in case of any
error was misleading. Maxscale may not succeed in opening it,
reading it or processing it.
Use of skygw_log_write() in ss_dassert and ss_info_dassert replaced
with the use of MXS_ERROR(). In addition, ss_dassert and ss_info_dassert
are now expressions that require a trailing ;.
The log message was labeled as a warning instead of an error and finding out
the real reason why MaxScale didn't start when a filter wasn't found was difficult.
When a filter module is not found or the instance creation fails, this is considered
a fatal error and MaxScale will not start. If a failure occurs when the configuration
is being reloaded, the service will not use filters and an error will be logged.
The bundled PCRE2 library will be built as a separate target and configuring
CMake no longer builds it. Instead, it will only be built when it is out of date.
This requires all targets to declare that they depend on the pcre2 target in
order for it to be built.
Previously filter instances were created when the first session was made. This
caused filter configuration errors to be noticed only after MaxScale was successfully
started. Now filters are loaded and the instance is created when a service applies its filters.
LOGIF and skygw_write_log removed from server/core/*.c and
replaced with calls to MXS_(ERROR|WARNING|NOTICE|INFO|DEBUG).
This is a mechanism change, no updating of the actual message
has been performed.
Currently this causes a very small performance hit, since the
check whether the priority is enabled or not is performed in
the function that is called and not before the function is called.
Once all LOGIFs and skygw_write_logs have been replaced, the
behaviour will be altered back to what it was.
skygw_[enable|disable]_log has now been removed from the external
interface and priorities must instead be set using
mxs_log_set_priority_enabled(int priority, bool enabled). A bitmask
is already being updated, but internally and as used by the LOG_IF
macros, the actual enabling is still made using logfile ids.
The configuration entries have been replaced as follows:
log_messages -> log_notice
log_trace -> log_info
The old ones can be used, but cause a warning to be logged.
Similarily the maxadmin commands have been updated.
"[enable|disable] log ..." works as expected, but there will be
a message about it being deprecated. Instead there is now a
[enable|disable] log-priority err|warning|notice|info|debug
command that should be used instead.
skygw_logmanager_init renamed to mxs_log_init and skygw_logmanager_done
renamed to mxs_log_finish. skygw_logmanager_exit removed alltogether as
all it did was to call skygw_logmanager_done. That appears to have been
a source for confusion as in many places a call to skygw_logmanager_done
was followed by a call to skygw_logmanager_exit. In addition, the function
skygw_log_done was removed from the header, since it lacked an
implementation.
The change to the mysql.user table in MySQL 5.7 caused MaxScale to stop
working with it. This commit adds functionality that checks which version of
the user data query should be made. It also moves common code related to
server version strings to server.c
With only one log-file no arguments are needed. The maxadmin command
'flush log' still accepts all the previous arguments, but warns about
them being deprecated.
Maxinfo now supports the shutdown command which shuts down a service, monitor
or MaxScale itself and the restart command which restarts a stopped monitor
or service.
Earlier, the global setting for the syslog decided whether syslog
was enabled when skygw_logmanager_init was called, but not whether
logging to syslog actually was made.
Now syslog logging is enabled by default and the global setting
decides whether or not syslog logging actually is made. That is,
this opens up the possiblity for making it possible to turn on
and off sysloging at runtime.
Further, although the API led you to believe otherwise, it was
hardwired that LOGFILE_ERROR and LOGFILE_MESSAGE messages were
written to syslog.
The changed removed the need for passing an argv array explicitly.
The syslog ident must be provided explicitly when calling
skygw_logmanager_init (and not provided via the argv array).
It can be NULL, in which case it automatically will be the program
name.
The openlog() call is now always made, irrespective of what the
value of the global syslog flag is. That way it will be possible
to turn syslog logging on or off after the fact.
Whether the log-file should be written to the filesystem or to
shared memory must now be explicitly defined when calling
skygw_logmanager_init() (instead of passing that via the argc/argv
construct).
Also, the meaning of '-l' when invoking maxscale has been changed.
Earlier -l [file|shm] specified whether the trace and debug logs
should be written to shared memory (while the error and message
logs always were written to the filesystem) and the _default_
was to write them to shared memory.
Now, with only one file, '-l' has still the same meaning, but it
decides whether the one and only logfile should be written to shared
memory, or the filesystem and the _default_ is to write it to the
filesystem.
The previous interface of skygw_logmanager_init was conceptually
broken. With -o you could specify that logging should be done to
stdout. However, even if you did that, the log manager still checked
that the logging directory could be accessed. Unless it had been
specified using -j <path> the default was /var/log/maxscale.
That is, unless the program calling skygw_logmanager_init was invoked
by a user that had write access to /var/log/maxscale, there would be
a complaint even if nothing was ever written to that directory.
In practice this meant that even if -o was used you had to provide
a -j with a path that surely is writeable (e.g. "/tmp").
This has now been changed so that you explicitly must provide the
log directory and the flags -j and -o are removed.
bool skygw_logmanager_init(const char* logdir, int argc, char* argv[]);
If /logdir/ is provided then logged messages are written to a log file
in that directory. If /logdir/ is NULL then messages are logged to stdout
and no checks for access to any directory is not made.
