Description
Add the support of health check with the upstream servers.
Directives
check
syntax: *check interval=milliseconds [fall=count] [rise=count]
[timeout=milliseconds] [default_down=true|false]
[type=tcp|http|ssl_hello|mysql|ajp|fastcgi]*
default: *none, if parameters omitted, default parameters are
interval=30000 fall=5 rise=2 timeout=1000 default_down=true type=tcp*
context: *upstream*
description: Add the health check for the upstream servers.
The parameters' meanings are:
* *interval*: the check request's interval time.
* *fall*(fall_count): After fall_count check failures, the server is
marked down.
* *rise*(rise_count): After rise_count check success, the server is
marked up.
* *timeout*: the check request's timeout.
* *default_down*: set initial state of backend server, default is
down.
* *port*: specify the check port in the backend servers. It can be
different with the original servers port. Default the port is 0 and
it means the same as the original backend server.
* *type*: the check protocol type:
1. *tcp* is a simple tcp socket connect and peek one byte.
2. *ssl_hello* sends a client ssl hello packet and receives the
server ssl hello packet.
3. *http* sends a http request packet, receives and parses the http
response to diagnose if the upstream server is alive.
4. *mysql* connects to the mysql server, receives the greeting
response to diagnose if the upstream server is alive.
5. *ajp* sends a AJP Cping packet, receives and parses the AJP
Cpong response to diagnose if the upstream server is alive.
6. *fastcgi* send a fastcgi request, receives and parses the
fastcgi response to diagnose if the upstream server is alive.
check_http_send
syntax: *check_http_send http_packet*
default: *"GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"*
context: *upstream*
description: If you set the check type is http, then the check function
will sends this http packet to check the upstream server.
check_http_expect_alive
syntax: *check_http_expect_alive [ http_2xx | http_3xx | http_4xx |
http_5xx ]*
default: *http_2xx | http_3xx*
context: *upstream*
description: These status codes indicate the upstream server's http
response is ok, the backend is alive.
check_keepalive_requests
syntax: *check_keepalive_requests num*
default: *check_keepalive_requests 1*
context: *upstream*
description: The directive specifies the number of requests sent on a
connection, the default vaule 1 indicates that nginx will certainly
close the connection after a request.
check_fastcgi_param
Syntax: *check_fastcgi_params parameter value*
default: see below
context: *upstream*
description: If you set the check type is fastcgi, then the check
function will sends this fastcgi headers to check the upstream server.
The default directive looks like:
check_fastcgi_param "REQUEST_METHOD" "GET";
check_fastcgi_param "REQUEST_URI" "/";
check_fastcgi_param "SCRIPT_FILENAME" "index.php";
check_shm_size
syntax: *check_shm_size size*
default: *1M*
context: *http*
description: Default size is one megabytes. If you check thousands of
servers, the shared memory for health check may be not enough, you can
enlarge it with this directive.
check_status
syntax: *check_status [html|csv|json]*
default: *none*
context: *location*
description: Display the health checking servers' status by HTTP. This
directive should be set in the http block.
You can specify the default display format. The formats can be `html`,
`csv` or `json`. The default type is `html`. It also supports to specify
the format by the request argument. Suppose your `check_status` location
is '/status', the argument of `format` can change the display page's
format. You can do like this:
/status?format=html
/status?format=csv
/status?format=json
At present, you can fetch the list of servers with the same status by
the argument of `status`. For example:
/status?format=html&status=down
/status?format=csv&status=up

Installation
Download the latest version of the release tarball of this module from
github (<http://github.com/yaoweibin/nginx_upstream_check_module>)
Grab the nginx source code from nginx.org (<http://nginx.org/>), for
example, the version 1.0.14 (see nginx compatibility), and then build
the source with this module:
$ wget 'http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.0.14.tar.gz'
$ tar -xzvf nginx-1.0.14.tar.gz
$ cd nginx-1.0.14/
$ patch -p1 < /path/to/nginx_http_upstream_check_module/check.patch
$ ./configure --add-module=/path/to/nginx_http_upstream_check_module
$ make
$ make install
Note
If you use nginx-1.2.1 or nginx-1.3.0, the nginx upstream round robin
module changed greatly. You should use the patch named
'check_1.2.1.patch'.
If you use nginx-1.2.2+ or nginx-1.3.1+, It added the upstream
least_conn module. You should use the patch named 'check_1.2.2+.patch'.
If you use nginx-1.2.6+ or nginx-1.3.9+, It adjusted the round robin
module. You should use the patch named 'check_1.2.6+.patch'.
If you use nginx-1.5.12+, You should use the patch named
'check_1.5.12+.patch'.
If you use nginx-1.7.2+, You should use the patch named
'check_1.7.2+.patch'.
The patch just adds the support for the official Round-Robin, Ip_hash
and least_conn upstream module. But it's easy to expand my module to
other upstream modules. See the patch for detail.
If you want to add the support for upstream fair module, you can do it
like this:
$ git clone git://github.com/gnosek/nginx-upstream-fair.git
$ cd nginx-upstream-fair
$ patch -p2 < /path/to/nginx_http_upstream_check_module/upstream_fair.patch
$ cd /path/to/nginx-1.0.14
$ ./configure --add-module=/path/to/nginx_http_upstream_check_module --add-module=/path/to/nginx-upstream-fair-module
$ make
$ make install
If you want to add the support for nginx sticky module, you can do it
like this:
$ svn checkout http://nginx-sticky-module.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ nginx-sticky-module
$ cd nginx-sticky-module
$ patch -p0 < /path/to/nginx_http_upstream_check_module/nginx-sticky-module.patch
$ cd /path/to/nginx-1.0.14
$ ./configure --add-module=/path/to/nginx_http_upstream_check_module --add-module=/path/to/nginx-sticky-module
$ make
$ make install
Note that, the nginx-sticky-module also needs the original check.patch.
Compatibility
* The module version 0.4.0 should be compatibility with nginx-1.8.0+ (only).
