[jira] [Updated] (TS-315) Add switch to disable config file generation/runtime behavior changing
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-315?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Leif Hedstrom updated TS-315: - Labels: A (was: ) > Add switch to disable config file generation/runtime behavior changing > -- > > Key: TS-315 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-315 > Project: Traffic Server > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Configuration >Reporter: Miles Libbey >Priority: Minor > Labels: A > Fix For: sometime > > > (was yahoo bug 1863676) > Original description > by Michael S. Fischer 2 years ago at 2008-04-09 09:52 > In production, in order to improve site stability, it is imperative that TS > never accidentally overwrite its own > configuration files. > For this reason, we'd like to request a switch be added to TS, preferably via > the command line, that disables all > automatic configuration file generation or other runtime behavioral changes > initiated by any form of IPC other than > 'traffic_line -x' (including the web interface, etc.) > > > Comment 1 > by Bjornar Sandvik 2 years ago at 2008-04-09 09:57:17 > A very crucial request, in my opinion. If TS needs to be able to read > command-line config changes on the fly, these > changes should be stored in another config file (for example > remap.config.local instead of remap.config). We have a > patch config package that overwrites 4 of the config files under > /home/conf/ts/, and with all packages > we'd like to think that the content of these files can't change outside our > control. > > Comment 2 > by Bryan Call 2 years ago at 2008-04-09 11:02:46 > traffic_line -x doesn't modify the configuration, it reloads the > configuration files. If we want to have an option for > this it would be good to have it as an option configuration file (CONFIG > proxy.config.write_protect INT 1). > It would be an equivalent of write protecting floppies (ahh the memories)... > > > Comment 3 > by Michael S. Fischer 2 years ago at 2008-04-09 11:09:09 > I don't think it would be a good idea to have this in the configuration file, > as it would introduce a chicken/egg > problem. > > > Comment 4 > by Leif Hedstrom 19 months ago at 2008-08-27 12:43:17 > So I'm not 100% positive that this isn't just a bad interaction.
