⁠Resec - Consul based highly available Redis replication agent

⁠Description

Resec is a successor to Redis Sentinel⁠ and redishappy⁠ for handling high availability failover for Redis.

It avoids Redis Sentinel problems of remembering all the sentinels and all the redis servers that ever appeared in the replication cluster.

Resec master election is based on Consul Locks⁠ to provide single redis master instance.

Resec continuously monitors the status of redis instance and if it's alive, It starts 2 following processes:

Monitor service of master for changes
- if lock is not acquired, on every change of master it runs SLAVE OF Master.Address
Trying to acquire lock to became master itself
- once lock acquired it stops watching for master service changes
- promotes redis to be SLAVE OF NO ONE

⁠Services and health checks

Resec registers service with TTL⁠ health check with TTL twice as big as HEALTHCHECK_INTERVAL and updates consul every HEALTHCHECK_INTERVAL to maintain service in passing state

There are 2 options to work with services:

Use CONSUL_SERVICE_NAME for tag based master/slave discovery
- MASTER_TAGS must be provided for ability to watch master instance for changes.
Use CONSUL_SERVICE_PREFIX for service name only based discovery
- services in consul will look like CONSUL_SERVICE_PREFIX-Replication.Role
If ANNOUNCE_ADDR is set it will be used for registration in consul, if it's not provided REDIS_ADDR will be used for registration in consul.
- If REDIS_ADDR is localhost, only port will be announced to the consul.

⁠Redis Health

If redis becomes unhealthy resec will stop the leader election. As soon as redis will become healthy again, resec will start the operation from the beginning.

⁠Usage

⁠Environment variables

Environment Variables	Default	Description
ANNOUNCE_ADDR		IP:Port of Redis to be announced, by default service will be registered wi
CONSUL_SERVICE_NAME		Consul service name for tag based service discovery
CONSUL_SERVICE_PREFIX	redis	Name Prefix, will be followed by "-(master/slave)", ignored if CONSUL_SERVICE_NAME is used
CONSUL_LOCK_KEY	resec/.lock	KV lock location, should be overriden if multiple instances running in the same consul DC
CONSUL_LOCK_SESSION_NAME	resec	Lock session Name to distinguish multiple resec masters on one host
CONSUL_LOCK_MONITOR_RETRIES	3	Number of retries of lock receives 500 Error from Consul
CONSUL_LOCK_MONITOR_RETRY_INTERVAL	1s	Retry interval if lock receives 500 Error from Consul
CONSUL_DEREGISTER_SERVICE_AFTER	72h
CONSUL_LOCK_TTL	15s
MASTER_TAGS		Comma separated list of tags to be added to master instance. The first tag (index 0) is used to configure the role of the Redis/resec task, and must be different from index 0 in `SLAVE_TAGS`.
SLAVE_TAGS		Comma separated list of tags to be added to slave instance. The first tag (index 0) is used to configure the role of the Redis/resec task, and must be different from index 0 in `MASTER_TAGS`.
HEALTHCHECK_INTERVAL	5s
HEALTHCHECK_TIMEOUT	2s
REDIS_ADDR	127.0.0.1:6379
REDIS_PASSWORD
LOG_LEVEL	INFO	Options are "DEBUG", "INFO", "WARN", "ERROR"
LOG_FORMAT	text	Options are "text", "json", "gelf"

⁠Environment variables to configure communication with consul are similar to Consul CLI⁠

⁠Permissions

Resec requires permissions for Consul in order to function correctly. The Consul ACL token is passed as the environment variable CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN .

⁠Consul ACL Token Permissions

If the Consul cluster being used is running ACLs; the following ACL policy will allow Replicator the required access to perform all functions based on its default configuration:

key "resec/" {
  policy = "write"
}
session "" {
  policy = "write"
}
service "" {
  policy = "write"
}

⁠Development

Please see the local development guide⁠ for information and hints on how to work with Resec locally

⁠Run the application

with Nomad (version 1.0+)

      resources {
        cpu    = 100
        memory = 64
      }
    }
  }
}

with Nomad (version < 1.0):

job "resec" {

        network {
          mbits = 10
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

with docker-compose.yml:

⁠Debugging

⁠Dump state via signal

If you send USR1 signal to Resec, it will dump the state of the reconciler to stdout no matter the log level you started Resec with.

For exampel running killall -USR1 resec will yield logging output shown below

(state.Consul) {
 Ready: (bool) true,
 Healthy: (bool) true,
 Master: (bool) true,
 MasterAddr: (string) "",
 MasterPort: (int) 0,
 Stopped: (bool) false
}
(state.Redis) {
 Healthy: (bool) false,
 Ready: (bool) false,
 Info: (state.RedisStatus) {
  Role: (string) "",
  Loading: (bool) false,
  MasterLinkUp: (bool) false,
  MasterLinkDownSince: (time.Duration) 0s,
  MasterSyncInProgress: (bool) false,
  MasterHost: (string) "",
  MasterPort: (int) 0
 },
 InfoString: (string) "",
 Stopped: (bool) false
}

if you send USR2 signal to Resec, it will dump the full reconciler state + all related structs managed by the reconciler.

For example running killall -USR2 resec will yield logging output shown below

⁠Tracking state changing via logging

If you run resec with LOG_LEVEL=debug, there will be a log line for each Consul/Redis state change the reconsider sees.

Example can be seen below

DEBU[2019-01-01T16:18:01+01:00] New Consul state                              system=reconciler
DEBU[2019-01-01T16:18:01+01:00] modified: .Master = false                     system=reconciler
DEBU[2019-01-01T16:17:56+01:00] New Redis state                               system=reconciler
DEBU[2019-01-01T16:17:56+01:00] modified: .Healthy = true                     system=reconciler
DEBU[2019-01-01T16:17:56+01:00] New Redis state                               system=reconciler
DEBU[2019-01-01T16:17:56+01:00] modified: .Ready = true                       system=reconciler
DEBU[2019-01-01T16:17:56+01:00] modified: .Info.Role = "master"               system=reconciler
