Using hcdiag v0.5.0 With -config for Duration and Interval, Nomad and Consul Debug Runs Twice

[MikaelHashiCorp]

What is the bug?
When I create an hcdiag.hcl with the following to run Consul and Nomad for 10 second duration at 5 second interval:

product "consul" {
  consul-debug {
    archive  = "true" // The argument \"archive\" is required
    duration = "10s"
    interval = "05s"
  }
}

product "nomad" {
  nomad-debug {
    duration = "10s"
    interval = "05s"
  }
}

Nomad debug and Consul debug run twice.

Nomad runs first for the 10s/5s setting: Then at the default 2m/30s setting: Creating two Nomad debug bundles (see first image above).

What version are you using?
hcdiag v0.5.0-rc2 and hcdiag v0.5.0 Nomad v1.4.3 Consul v1.14.4

Which HashiCorp products does this affect?
Hcdiag, Nomad, Consul

When does the error occur?
Share steps to reproduce the behavior, e.g.,

1. Spin up an instance of Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS.
2. Log into the OS.
3. Download hcdiag_0.5.0_linux_amd64.zip:

curl  https://releases.hashicorp.com/hcdiag/0.5.0/hcdiag_0.5.0_linux_amd64.zip -o hcdiag_0.5.0.zip

5. Unzip hcdiag_0.5.0_linux_amd64.zip:

unzip hcdiag_0.5.0.zip

6. Create hcdiag.hcl with duration and interval options:

product "consul" {
  consul-debug {
    archive  = "true" // The argument \"archive\" is required
    duration = "10s"
    interval = "05s"
  }
}

product "nomad" {
  nomad-debug {
    duration = "10s"
    interval = "05s"
  }
}

7. Run hcdiag command:

hcdiag run -consul -nomad -config hcdiag.hcl

8. Untar hcdiag bundle

tar -xvzf hcdiag*.tar.gz

10. Review the directories and files from the bundle

ls -al hcdiag-2023*

-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu   949446 Feb  3 00:46 results.json

What is the expected behavior?
Only one bundle each from Nomad and Consul, and only the 10s/5s bundles.

Is there a workaround?
No.

How does this impact you?

• Unable to shorten the time to run hcdiag from default of 2 min.
• Creates much bigger hcdiag bundle.
• Creates extra Nomad and Consul bundles that require deleting.

Are there any deadlines?
No.

Is there any additional context?
No.
