route_registrar

routes

  • Array of hashes determining which routes will be registered.
  • Each hash should have ‘port’, ‘uris’, ‘registration_interval’ and ‘name’ keys.
  • ‘registration_interval’ is the delay between routing updates. It must be a time duration represented as a string (e.g. “10s”). It must parse to a positive time duration i.e. “-5s” is not permitted.
  • Additionally, the ‘tags’ and ‘health_check’ keys are optional.
  • ‘uris’ is an array of URIs to register for the ‘port’.
  • ‘tags’ are included in metrics that gorouter emits to support filtering.
  • ‘health_check’ is a hash which should have ‘name’ and ‘script_path’.
  • ‘health_check.timeout’ is optional. If the health_check timeout is not provided, it defaults to half of the value of registration_interval. If it is provided it must be a time duration represented as a string (e.g. “10s”), and less than the value of registration_interval. It must parse to a positive time duration i.e. “-5s” is not permitted.
  • if the healthcheck is not configured, the route is continually registered.
  • if the healthcheck script exits with success, the route is registered.
  • if the healthcheck script exits with error, the route is unregistered.
  • if a timeout is configured, the healthcheck script must exit within the timeout, otherwise it is terminated (with SIGKILL) and the route is unregistered.
