gorouter job from cf/237

The Router maintains a list of live routes for the applications running on each DEA. The Router load balances requests (based on their Host header) between each application instance registered for a specific route. It requires to be behind a load balancer that can terminate SSL connections.

Enable the dropsonde emitter library

Default
false

metron_endpoint

host

The host used to emit messages to the Metron agent.

Default
127.0.0.1

nats

machines

IP of each NATS cluster member.

password

port

user

request_timeout_in_seconds

Timeout in seconds for Router -> Endpoint roundtrip.

Default
900

router

cipher_suites

An ordered list of supported SSL cipher suites containing golang tls constants separated by colons The cipher suite will be chosen according to this order during SSL handshake

Default
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA:TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA:TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA:TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA:TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA

debug_addr

Address at which to serve debug info

Default
0.0.0.0:17001

dns_health_check_host

Host to ping for confirmation of DNS resolution, only used when Routing API is enabled

Default
consul.service.cf.internal

drain_wait

Delay in seconds after drain begins before server stops listening. During this time the server will respond with 503 Service Unavailable to requests having header User-Agent: HTTP-Monitor/1.1. This accommodates requests in transit sent while health check responded ok.

Default
0

enable_access_log_streaming

Enables streaming of access log to syslog. Warning: this comes with a performance cost; due to higher I/O, max request rate is reduced.

Default
false

enable_ssl

Enable ssl termination on the router

Default
false

extra_headers_to_log

A list of headers that log events will be annotated with

Default
[]

logging_level

Log level for router

Default
info

logrotate

freq_min

The frequency in minutes which logrotate will rotate VM logs

Default
5
rotate

The number of files that logrotate will keep around on the VM

Default
7
size

The size at which logrotate will decide to rotate the log file

Default
2M

number_of_cpus

Number of CPUs to utilize, the default (-1) will equal the number of available CPUs

Default
-1

offset

Default
0

port

Listening Port for Router.

Default
80

requested_route_registration_interval_in_seconds

On startup, the router will delay listening for requests by this duration to increase likelihood that it has a complete routing table before serving requests. The router also broadcasts the same duration as a recommended interval to registering clients via NATS.

Default
20

route_services_recommend_https

Route Services are told where to send requests after processing using the X-CF-Forwarded-Url header. When this property is true, the scheme for this URL is https. When false, the scheme is http. As requests from Route Services to applications on CF transit load balancers and gorouter, disable this property for deployments that have TLS termination disabled.

Default
true

route_services_secret

Support for route services is disabled when no value is configured. A robust passphrase is recommended.

Default
""

route_services_secret_decrypt_only

To rotate keys, add your new key here and deploy. Then swap this key with the value of route_services_secret and deploy again.

Default
""

route_services_timeout

Expiry time of a route service signature in seconds

Default
60

secure_cookies

Set secure flag on http cookies

Default
false

skip_oauth_tls_verification

Skip TLS verification when talking to UAA

Default
false

ssl_cert

ssl_key

The private ssl key for ssl termination

Default
""

ssl_skip_validation

Skip SSL client cert validation

Default
false

Password for HTTP basic auth to the varz/status endpoint.

port

Port for the Router varz/status endpoint.

Default
8080
user

trace_key

If the X-Vcap-Trace request header is set and has this value, trace headers are added to the response.

Default
22

auth_disabled

Disables UAA authentication

Default
false

port

Port on which routing-api is running.

Default
3000

routing_api

enabled

Enable the GoRouter to receive routes from the Routing API

Default
false

gorouter
secret

Password for UAA client for the gorouter.

port

Port on which UAA is running.

Default
