If a plugin iterates a datetime object, decode to ISO-8601 string
on the way out. This allows plugins to work directly with datetime
objects and allow the messaging layer to normalize it to ISO-8601
Messages that were not a node (e.g. confluent users) erroneously
had data put into 'databynode'. Correct the mistake by omitting
the insertion of databynode when the message is clearly not a node
related thing.
IPMI plugin was issuing redundant calls to remove the same
watcher. Track that a session has already unhooked to
avoid double unhook (which runs at least a slight risk
of unhooking the wrong handler (*if* it were allowed).
IPMI health requests are relatively expensive. It's
also pretty popular and therefore prone to be the target of
inadvertantly aggressive concurrent requests. Mitigate the harm
by detecting concurrent usage and having callers share an answer.
When receiving a USR1 signal, it did usefully provide
'the' current stack, useful for diagnosing really hard
hangs. However, it's frequently informative to see all
the thread stack traces, so add that data to the diagnostic
feature.
When a terminal closes and notifies server, it was
pulling the rug out from asyncsession consoles.
Make asyncsession aware that the console may be gone
and discard tracking it rather than give a 500.
When an error (to be fixed) happened while updating expiry,
an asyncsession failed to have a reaper scheduled for cleanup.
Correct this by putting the reaper schedule right after the
cancellation.
Further, an async being destroyed did not reap related console
sessions. Add code to reap related console sessions when
the async session gets destroyed.
When the read_recent_text ran off a cliff looking for buffer data,
it left the current textfile handle in a bad state. This caused
the buffer rebuild to fail completely in a scenario where all the
current logs put together don't have enough data to satisfy the
buffer. Fix this by making the handle more obviously broken, and
repairing while seeking out data.
Users have noted and complained that log data was lost, and didn't have old data. This changes
the default behavior to be indefinite retention. Users noting a lot of logs using space have a nice
intuitive indication of old files to delete, and the option remains for those to request a log expiration.
Before the connection would fail and log to trace without anything
particularly informative for the client (they just saw 'unexpected error'.
Provide a more informative behavior for the client.
If exiting from a shell session, the databuffer will contain needed info for the client
to work properly. Preserve databuffer existence. Responsibility for deleting the
object should be in the hands of the caller.
The rollback support and replaydid not follow more than one log back. Do the work to recurse
into older and older files, until big enough buffer or run out of files.
If a user can connect, but gets removed mid session, traces were
being generated. Correct by recognizing the circumstance and returning
the appropriate error to the client.
When initializing security key, a background thread may occur. Sometimes,
the system would go to daemonize while that thread was still running, and
the whole system could exit. Leading to incomplete write to globals as well
as leaving the daemon looking at the data copied over from pre-fork and
seeing the last state of that thread forever frozen. Make sure the background
threads are fully done prior to exiting.
It seems it is possible in some circumstance for the thread id to become stale,
perhaps due to a different threadid executing the code for some reason.
Just in case, ensure the same exact value that was added is later discarded.
This provides a method for client to request session be closed down. This provides more
immediate responsiveness to the client count when closing such a terminal. With this
both closing a single window and doing a 'logout' immediately impacts clientcount.
If something triggers a logout of session, immediately cut into long polling
console sessions that are relevant. This results in web client being able to
immediately detect a logout externally originated.
Provide a means for an http request to erase
it's own session's validity. Always return 200
to allow a client to send bogus credentials and
think they got success to forget the auth data in
the browser.
