/ngx_http_dyups_module

update upstreams' config by restful interface

Primary LanguageC

Description

This module can be used to update your upstream-list without reloadding Nginx.

And this module compatible with lua-upstream-nginx-module, You can use lua-upstream-nginx-module to get more detail infomation of upstream.

This module has been merged into tengine

It works well with patched nginx_upstream_check_module

Config Example

file: conf/nginx.conf

(:bangbang:Attention: You MUST use nginx variable to do proxy_pass)

daemon off;
error_log logs/error.log debug;

events {
}

http {

    include conf/upstream.conf;

    server {
        listen   8080;

        location / {
            # The upstream here must be a nginx variable
            proxy_pass http://$host; 
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 8088;
        location / {
            return 200 "8088";
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 8089;
        location / {
            return 200 "8089";
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 8081;
        location / {
            dyups_interface;
        }
    }
}

If your original config looks like this:

proxy_pass http://upstream_name;

please replace it with:

set $ups upstream_name;
proxy_pass http://$ups;

$ups can be any valid nginx variable.

file: conf/upstream.conf

upstream host1 {
    server 127.0.0.1:8088;
}

upstream host2 {
    server 127.0.0.1:8089;
}

Installation

$ git clone git://github.com/yzprofile/ngx_http_dyups_module.git

# to compile as a static module
$ ./configure --add-module=./ngx_http_dyups_module

# to compile as a dynamic module
$ ./configure --add-dynamic-module=./ngx_http_dyups_module

Directives

Syntax: dyups_interface

Default: none

Context: loc

This directive set the interface location where you can add or delete the upstream list. See the section of Interface for detail.

Syntax: dyups_read_msg_timeout time

Default: 1s

Context: main

This directive set the interval of workers readding the commands from share memory.

Syntax: dyups_shm_zone_size size

Default: 2MB

Context: main

This directive set the size of share memory which used to store the commands.

Syntax: dyups_upstream_conf path

Default: none

Context: main

This directive has been deprecated

Syntax: dyups_trylock on | off

Default: off

Context: main

You will get a better prefomance but it maybe not stable, and you will get a '409' when the update request conflicts with others.

Syntax: dyups_read_msg_log on | off

Default: off

Context: main

You can enable / disable log of workers readding the commands from share memory. The log looks like:

2017/02/28 15:37:53 [info] 56806#0: [dyups] has 0 upstreams, 1 static, 0 deleted, all 1

restful interface

GET

  • /detail get all upstreams and their servers
  • /list get the list of upstreams
  • /upstream/name find the upstream by it's name

POST

  • /upstream/name update one upstream
  • body commands;
  • body server ip:port;

DELETE

  • /upstream/name delete one upstream

Call the interface, when you get the return code is HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR 500, you need to reload nginx to make the Nginx work at a good state.

If you got HTTP_CONFLICT 409, you need resend the same commands again latter.

The /list and /detail interface will return HTTP_NO_CONTENT 204 when there is no upstream.

Other code means you should modify your commands and call the interface again.

ATTENEION: You also need a third-party to generate the new config and dump it to Nginx'conf directory.

Lua API Example

NOTICE: you should add the directive dyups_interface into your config file to active this feature

content_by_lua '
    local dyups = require "ngx.dyups"

    local status, rv = dyups.update("test", [[server 127.0.0.1:8088;]]);
    ngx.print(status, rv)
    if status ~= ngx.HTTP_OK then
        ngx.print(status, rv)
        return
    end
    ngx.print("update success")

    status, rv = dyups.delete("test")
    if status ~= ngx.HTTP_OK then
        ngx.print(status, rv)
        return
    end
    ngx.print("delete success")
