route_registrar job from routing/0.215.0

Used for registering routes

Github source: 78a5621 or master branch

Properties

host

(string, optional) By default, route_registrar will detect the IP of the VM and use it, in combination with port as the backend destination for each uri being registered. This property enables overriding the destination hostname or IP.

Example
192.168.60.25

nats

machines

IPs of each NATS cluster member

Example
|+
  - 192.168.50.123
  - 192.168.52.123

password

Password for NATS authentication

Example
natSpa55w0rd

port

TCP port of NATS servers

Example
4222

tls

client_cert

PEM-encoded certificate for the route-emitter to present to NATS for verification when connecting via TLS.

client_key

PEM-encoded private key for the route-emitter to present to NATS for verification when connecting via TLS.

enabled

Enable connecting to NATS server via TLS.

Default
false
hostname

Hostname of the NATS cluster.

user

User name for NATS authentication

Example
nats

route_registrar

logging_level

Log level for route_registrar

Default
info

routes

(required, array of objects): Routes that will be registered

route object name (required, string, for all routes): Human-readable reference for the route type (optional, string, for all routes): Defaults to http, can specify http, sni, or tcp. uris (required, array, for http routes): When Gorouter receives a request that matches one of these URIs, it will forward them to the IP of the host on which route_registrar runs, and either port or tls_port. sni_port (required, integer, for sni rotues): When sni type provided, this is the downstream port to route to port (required, integer, for all routes): Either port or tls_port are required; if both are provided, Gorouter will prefer tls_port. Requests for associated URIs will be forwarded unencypted by the router to this port. The IP is determined automatically from the host on which route-registrar is run. tls_port (required, integer, for http routes): Either port or tls_port are required; if both are provided, Gorouter will prefer tls_port. Requests for associated URIs will be forwarded over TLS by the router to this port. The IP is determined automatically from the host on which route-registrar is run. route_service_url (optional, string, for http routes): When valid route service URL is provided, Gorouter will proxy requests received for the uris above to the specified route service URL. server_cert_domain_san (conditional, string, for http routes): Required if tls_port is present. Gorouter will validate that the TLS certificate presented by the destination host contains this as a Subject Alternative Name (SAN). registration_interval (required, string, for all routes): Interval between heartbeated route registrations (e.g. 10s). It must parse to a positive time duration i.e. “-5s” is not permitted. tags (optional, array of objects, for http routes): Arbitrary key-value pairs emitted with metrics to support filtering of metrics prepend_instance_index (optional, boolean, for http routes): When set to true the values in uris will be prepended with the instance index. e.g. ‘some-uri.system-domain.com’ will become ‘0-some-uri.system-domain.com’ on the instance with index 0, and ‘2-some-url.system-domain.com’ on the instance with index 2. When this value is enabled, each instance will register its own, unique, set of uris. To additionally continue to register these original uris, create another route with the same uris and set ‘prepend_instance_index’ to false (or omit the key entirely). health_check (optional, object, for all routes): Script executed on frequency of registration_interval. If healthcheck script exits with success, route registration heartbeat is sent. If script exits with error, the route is unregistered. router_group (required, string, for tcp routes): Name of the router group to which the TCP route should be added. external_port (required, string, for tcp routes): Port that the TCP router will listen on. server_cert_domain_name_modifier (optional, string, for sni routes): a regex replace to help with complicated hostnames

health_check object name (required, string): Human-readable reference for the healthcheck script_path (required, string): Path to script that will be run periodically to determine service health timeout (optional, string): The healthcheck script must exit within this timeout, otherwise the script is terminated with SIGKILL and the route is unregistered. Value is a string (e.g. “10s”) and must parse to a positive time duration i.e. “-5s” is not permitted. Must be less than the value of registration_interval. Default: Half of the value of registration_interval
