To use :program:`traffic_ctl`, :ref:`traffic_manager` needs to be running. Options ======= .. program:: traffic_ctl .. option:: --debug Enable debugging output. .. option:: -V, --version Print version information and exit. Subcommands =========== traffic_ctl alarm ----------------- .. program:: traffic_ctl alarm .. option:: list List all alarm events that have not been acknowledged (cleared). .. program:: traffic_ctl alarm .. option:: clear Clear (acknowledge) all current alarms. .. program:: traffic_ctl alarm .. option:: resolve ALARM [ALARM...] Clear (acknowledge) an alarm event. The arguments are a specific alarm number (e.g. ''1''), or an alarm string identifier (e.g. ''MGMT_ALARM_PROXY_CONFIG_ERROR''). traffic_ctl config ------------------ .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: defaults [--records] Display the default values for all configuration records. The --records* flag has the same behavior as :option:`traffic_ctl config get --records`. .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: describe RECORD [RECORD...] Display all the known information about a configuration record. This includes the current and default values, the data type, the record class and syntax checking expression. .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: diff [--records] Display configuration records that have non-default values. The --records* flag has the same behavior as :option:`traffic_ctl config get --records`. .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: get [--records] RECORD [RECORD...] Display the current value of a configuration record. .. program:: traffic_ctl config get .. option:: --records If this flag is provided, :option:`traffic_ctl config get` will emit results in :file:`records.config` format. .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: match [--records] REGEX [REGEX...] Display the current values of all configuration variables whose names match the given regular expression. The *--records* flag has the same behavior as :option:`traffic_ctl config get --records`. .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: reload Initiate a Traffic Server configuration reload. Use this command to update the running configuration after any configuration file modification. If no configuration files have been modified since the previous configuration load, this command is a no-op. The timestamp of the last reconfiguration event (in seconds since epoch) is published in the `proxy.node.config.reconfigure_time` metric. .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: set RECORD VALUE Set the named configuration record to the specified value. Refer to the :file:`records.config` documentation for a list of the configuration variables you can specify. Note that this is not a synchronous operation. .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: status Display detailed status about the Traffic Server configuration system. This includes version information, whether the internal configuration store is current and whether any daemon processes should be restarted. .. _traffic-ctl-metric: traffic_ctl metric ------------------ .. program:: traffic_ctl metric .. option:: get METRIC [METRIC...] Display the current value of the specifies statistics. .. program:: traffic_ctl metric .. option:: match REGEX [REGEX...] Display the current values of all statistics whose names match the given regular expression. .. program:: traffic_ctl metric .. option:: zero METRIC [METRIC...] Reset the named statistics to zero. traffic_ctl server ------------------ .. program:: traffic_ctl server .. option:: restart Shut down and immediately restart Traffic Server .. program:: traffic_ctl server restart .. option:: --drain This option modifies the behavior of :option:`traffic_ctl server restart` such that :program:`traffic_server` is not shut down until the number of active client connections drops to the number given by the :ts:cv:`proxy.config.restart.active_client_threshold` configuration variable. .. option:: --manager The default behavior of :option:`traffic_ctl server restart` is to restart :program:`traffic_server`. If this option is specified, :program:`traffic_manager` is also restarted. .. program:: traffic_ctl server .. option:: start Start :program:`traffic_server` if it is already running. .. program:: traffic_ctl server start .. option:: --clear-cache Clear the disk cache upon startup. .. option:: --clear-hostdb Clear the DNS resolver cache upon startup. .. program:: traffic_ctl server .. option:: status Show the current proxy server status, indicating if we're running or not. .. program:: traffic_ctl server .. option:: stop Stop the running :program:`traffic_server` process. .. program:: traffic_ctl server .. option:: backtrace Show a full stack trace of all the :program:`traffic_server` threads. traffic_ctl storage ------------------- .. program:: traffic_ctl storage .. option:: offline PATH [PATH ...] Mark a cache storage device as offline. The storage is identified by :arg:`PATH` which must match exactly a path specified in :file:`storage.config`. This removes the storage from the cache and redirects requests that would have used this storage to other storage. This has exactly the same effect as a disk failure for that storage. This does not persist across restarts of the :program:`traffic_server` process. traffic_ctl plugin ------------------- .. program:: traffic_ctl plugin .. option:: msg TAG DATA Send a message to plugins. All plugins that have hooked the :cpp:enumerator:`TSLifecycleHookID::TS_LIFECYCLE_MSG_HOOK` will receive a callback for that hook. The :arg:`TAG` and :arg:`DATA` will be available to the plugin hook processing. It is expected that plugins will use :arg:`TAG` to select relevant messages and determine the format of the :arg:`DATA`. The :arg:`DATA` is optional and may not be available to consume, if not available then size will be 0 and the data will be NULL. Any extra passed value beside the tag and the optional data will be ignored. Check :c:type:`TSPluginMsg` for more info. traffic_ctl host ---------------- .. program:: traffic_ctl host A stat to track status is created for each host. The name is the host fqdn with a prefix of "proxy.process.host_status". The value of the stat is a string which is the serialized representation of the status. This contains the overall status and the status for each reason. The stats may be viewed using the :program:`traffic_ctl metric` command or through the `stats_over_http` endpoint. .. option:: --time count Set the duration of an operation to ``count`` seconds. A value of ``0`` means no duration, the condition persists until explicitly changed. The default is ``0`` if an operation requires a time and none is provided by this option. .. option:: --reason active | local | manual Sets the reason for the operation. ``active`` Set the active health check reason. ``local`` Set the local health check reason. ``manual`` Set the administrative reason. This is the default reason if a reason is needed and not provided by this option. Internally the reason can be ``self_detect`` if :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.self_detect` is set to the value 2 (the default). This is used to prevent parent selection from creating a loop by selecting itself as the upstream by marking this reason as "down" in that case. .. note:: The up / down status values are independent, and a host is consider available if and only if all of the statuses are "up". .. option:: status HOSTNAME [HOSTNAME ...] Get the current status of the specified hosts with respect to their use as targets for parent selection. This returns the same information as the per host stat. .. option:: down HOSTNAME [HOSTNAME ...] Marks the listed hosts as down so that they will not be chosen as a next hop parent. If :option:`--time` is included the host is marked down for the specified number of seconds after which the host will automatically be marked up. A host is not marked up until all reason codes are cleared by marking up the host for the specified reason code. Supports :option:`--time`, :option:`--reason`. .. option:: up HOSTNAME [HOSTNAME ...] Marks the listed hosts as up so that they will be available for use as a next hop parent. Use :option:`--reason` to mark the host reason code. The 'self_detect' is an internal reason code used by parent selection to mark down a parent when it is identified as itself and Supports :option:`--reason`. Examples ======== Mark down a host with `traffic_ctl` and view the associated host stats:: $ traffic_ctl host down cdn-cache-02.foo.com --reason manual $ /opt/trafficserver/bin/traffic_ctl metric match host_status proxy.process.host_status.cdn-cache-01.foo.com HOST_STATUS_DOWN,ACTIVE:UP:0:0,LOCAL:UP:0:0,MANUAL:DOWN:1556896844:0,SELF_DETECT:UP:0 proxy.process.host_status.cdn-cache-02.foo.com HOST_STATUS_UP,ACTIVE:UP:0:0,LOCAL:UP:0:0,MANUAL:UP:0:0,SELF_DETECT:UP:0 proxy.process.host_status.cdn-cache-origin-01.foo.com HOST_STATUS_UP,ACTIVE:UP:0:0,LOCAL:UP:0:0,MANUAL:UP:0:0,SELF_DETECT:UP:0 In the example above, 'cdn-cache-01.foo.com' is unavailable, `HOST_STATUS_DOWN` and was marked down for the `manual` reason, `MANUAL:DOWN:1556896844:0`, at the time indicated by the UNIX time stamp `1556896844`. To make the host available, one would have to clear the `manual` reason using :: $ traffic_ctl host up cdn-cache-01.foo.com --reason manual Configure Traffic Server to insert ``Via`` header in the response to the client:: $ traffic_ctl config set proxy.config.http.insert_response_via_str 1 $ traffic_ctl config reload See also ======== :manpage:`records.config(5)`, :manpage:`storage.config(5)`
