To build this version of :program:`traffic_ctl` ``--enable-jsonrpc-tc`` should be passed when configure the build. Description =========== :program:`traffic_ctl` is used to display,manipulate and configure a running Traffic Server. :program:`traffic_ctl` includes a number of subcommands that control different aspects of Traffic Server: :program:`traffic_ctl config` Manipulate and display configuration records :program:`traffic_ctl metric` Manipulate performance and status metrics :program:`traffic_ctl server` Stop, restart and examine the server :program:`traffic_ctl storage` Manipulate cache storage :program:`traffic_ctl plugin` Interact with plugins. :program:`traffic_ctl host` Manipulate host status. parents for now but will be expanded to origins. :program:`traffic_ctl rpc` Interact directly with the |RPC| server in |TS| Options ======= .. program:: traffic_ctl .. option:: --debug Enable debugging output. .. option:: -V, --version Print version information and exit. .. option:: -f, --format Specify the output print style. =================== ======================================================================== Options Description =================== ======================================================================== ``legacy`` Will honour the old :program:`traffic_ctl` output messages. This is the default format type. ``pretty`` will print a different output, a prettier output. This depends on the implementation, it's not required to always implement a pretty output ``json`` It will show the response message formatted to `JSON`_. This is ideal if you want to redirect the stdout to a different source. It will only stream the json response, no other messages. ``rpc`` Show the JSONRPC request and response + the default output. =================== ======================================================================== In case of a record request(config) ``--records`` overrides this flag. Default: ``legacy`` Example: .. code-block:: $ traffic_ctl config get variable --format rpc --> {request} <-- {response} variable 1234 .. code-block:: $ traffic_ctl config get variable --format json {response} There will be no print out beside the json response. This is ideal to redirect to a file. .. option:: --records Option available only for records request. .. option:: --run-root Path to the runroot file. Subcommands =========== .. _traffic-control-command-alarm: traffic_ctl alarm ----------------- .. warning:: Option not available in the |RPC| version. .. _traffic-control-command-config: traffic_ctl config ------------------ .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: defaults [--records] :ref:`admin_lookup_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...] :ref:`admin_lookup_records` 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. Error output available if ``--format pretty`` is specified. .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: diff [--records] :ref:`admin_lookup_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...] :ref:`admin_lookup_records` Display the current value of a configuration record. Error output available if ``--format pretty`` is specified. .. 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...] :ref:`admin_lookup_records` 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 :ref:`admin_config_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 :ref:`admin_config_set_records` 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 :ref:`admin_lookup_records` 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. .. program:: traffic_ctl config .. option:: registry :ref:`filemanager.get_files_registry` Display information about the registered files in |TS|. This includes the full file path, config record name, parent config (if any) if needs root access and if the file is required in |TS|. .. _traffic-control-command-metric: traffic_ctl metric ------------------ .. program:: traffic_ctl metric .. option:: get METRIC [METRIC...] :ref:`admin_lookup_records` Display the current value of the specified statistics. Error output available if ``--format pretty`` is specified. .. program:: traffic_ctl metric .. option:: match REGEX [REGEX...] :ref:`admin_lookup_records` Display the current values of all statistics whose names match the given regular expression. .. program:: traffic_ctl metric .. option:: zero METRIC [METRIC...] :ref:`admin_clear_metrics_records` Reset the named statistics to zero. .. program:: traffic_ctl metric .. option:: describe RECORD [RECORD...] :ref:`admin_lookup_records` Display all the known information about a metric record. Error output available if ``--format pretty`` is specified. .. _traffic-control-command-server: traffic_ctl server ------------------ .. program:: traffic_ctl server .. program:: traffic_ctl server .. option:: drain :ref:`admin_server_start_drain` :ref:`admin_server_stop_drain` Drop the number of active client connections. .. program:: traffic_ctl server .. option:: status Option not yet available .. _traffic-control-command-storage: traffic_ctl storage ------------------- .. program:: traffic_ctl storage .. option:: offline PATH [PATH ...] :ref:`admin_storage_set_device_offline` 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. .. program:: traffic_ctl storage .. option:: status PATH [PATH ...] :ref:`admin_storage_get_device_status` Show the storage configuration status. .. _traffic-control-command-plugin: traffic_ctl plugin ------------------- .. program:: traffic_ctl plugin .. option:: msg TAG DATA :ref:`admin_plugin_send_basic_msg` Send a message to plugins. All plugins that have hooked the ``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`. .. _traffic-control-command-host: traffic_ctl host ---------------- .. program:: traffic_ctl host A record to track status is created for each host. The name is the host fqdn. The value of the record when retrieved, is a serialized string representation of the status. This contains the overall status and the status for each reason. The records may be viewed using the :program:`traffic_ctl host status` command. .. 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 ...] :ref:`admin_lookup_records` Get the current status of the specified hosts with respect to their use as targets for parent selection. If the HOSTNAME arguments are omitted, all host records available are returned. .. option:: down HOSTNAME [HOSTNAME ...] :ref:`admin_host_set_status` 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 ...] :ref:`admin_host_set_status` 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`. .. _traffic_ctl_rpc: traffic_ctl rpc --------------- .. program:: traffic_ctl rpc A mechanism to interact directly with the |TS| |RPC| endpoint. This means that this is not tied to any particular API but rather to the rpc endpoint, so you can directly send requests and receive responses from the server. .. option:: file Reads a file or a set of files from the disc, use the content of the files as message(s) to the |RPC| endpoint. All jsonrpc messages will be validated before sending them. If the file contains invalid json|yaml format the message will not be send, in case of a set of files, if a particular file is not a proper json/yaml format then that particular file will be skipped. Example: .. code-block:: bash traffic_ctl rpc file jsonrpc_cmd1.json jsonrpc_cmd2.yaml .. option:: get-api :ref:`show_registered_handlers` Request the entire admin api. This will retrieve all the registered methods and notifications on the server side. Example: .. code-block:: bash $ traffic_ctl rpc get-api Methods: - admin_host_set_status - admin_server_stop_drain - admin_server_start_drain - admin_clear_metrics_records - admin_clear_all_metrics_records - admin_plugin_send_basic_msg - admin_lookup_records - admin_config_set_records - admin_storage_get_device_status - admin_storage_set_device_offline - admin_config_reload - show_registered_handlers Notifications: - some_registered_notification_handler .. option:: input Input mode, traffic_ctl will provide a control input from a stream buffer. Once the content is written the terminal :program:`traffic_ctl` will wait for the user to press Control-D to send the request to the rpc endpoint. This feature allows you to directly interact with the jsonrpc endpoint and test your API easily and without the need to know the low level implementation details of the transport layer. :program:`traffic_ctl` will validate the input format, not the message content. The message content will be validated by the server. See example `input_example_2`_. .. option:: --raw, -r No json/yaml parse validation will take place, the input content will be directly send to the server. Example: .. code-block:: $ traffic_ctl rpc input >> Ctrl-D to fire the request { "id":"86e59b43-185b-4a0b-b1c1-babb1a3d5401", "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"admin_lookup_records", "params":[ { "record_name":"proxy.config.diags.debug.tags", "rec_types":[ "1", "16" ] } ] } <-- Server's response. { "jsonrpc":"2.0", "result":{ "recordList":[ { "record":{ "record_name":"proxy.config.diags.debug.tags", "record_type":"3", "version":"0", "raw_stat_block":"0", "order":"423", "config_meta":{ "access_type":"0", "update_status":"0", "update_type":"1", "checktype":"0", "source":"3", "check_expr":"null" }, "record_class":"1", "overridable":"false", "data_type":"STRING", "current_value":"rpc", "default_value":"http|dns" } } ] }, "id":"86e59b43-185b-4a0b-b1c1-babb1a3d5401" } .. _input_example_2: Example 2: You can see a valid json ``{}`` but an invalid |RPC| message. In this case the server is responding. .. code-block:: $ traffic_ctl rpc input >> Ctrl-D to fire the request {} < -- Server's response { "jsonrpc":"2.0", "error":{ "code":-32600, "message":"Invalid Request" } } .. option:: invoke Invoke a remote call by using the method name as parameter. This could be a handy option if you are developing a new handler or you just don't want to expose the method in :program:`traffic_ctl`, for instance when implementing a custom handler inside a proprietary plugin. .. option:: --params, -p Parameters to be passed in the request, YAML or JSON format are accepted. If JSON is passed as param it should not be mixed with YAML. It's important that you follow the :ref:`jsonrpc-protocol` specs. If the passed param does not follows the specs the server will reject the request. .. _rpc_invoke_example_1: Example 1: Call a jsonrpc method with no parameter. .. code-block:: $ traffic_ctl rpc invoke some_jsonrpc_handler --> {"id": "0dbab88d-b78f-4ebf-8aa3-f100031711a5", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "some_jsonrpc_handler"} <-- { response } .. _rpc_invoke_example_2: Example 2: Call a jsonrpc method with parameters. .. code-block:: $ traffic_ctl rpc invoke reload_files_from_folder --params 'filenames: ["file1", "file2"]' 'folder: "/path/to/folder"' --> {"id": "9ac68652-5133-4d5f-8260-421baca4c67f", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "reload_files_from_folder", "params": {"filenames": ["file1", "file2"], "folder": "/path/to/folder"}} <-- { response } Examples ======== Mark down a host with `traffic_ctl` and view the associated host stats:: .. code-block:: bash # traffic_ctl host down cdn-cache-02.foo.com --reason manual # 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: .. code-block:: bash # traffic_ctl host up cdn-cache-01.foo.com --reason manual Configure Traffic Server to insert ``Via`` header in the response to the client .. code-block:: bash # traffic_ctl config set proxy.config.http.insert_response_via_str 1 # traffic_ctl config reload Autest ====== Runroot needs to be configured in order to let `traffic_ctl` know where to find the socket. This is done by default and there is no change you have to do to interact with it, but make sure that you are not overriding the `dump_runroot=False` when creating the ATS Process, otherwise the `runroot.yaml` will not be set.
