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’, ‘health_check’, and ‘prepend_instance_index’ 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.
  • ‘prepend_instance_index’ is a boolean. 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).
