API

Description

Traffic Server Implements and exposes management calls using a JSONRPC API. This API is base on the following two things:

  • JSON format. Lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It's basically a collection of name/value pairs.

  • JSONRPC 2.0 protocol. Stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. Primarily this specification defines several data structures and the rules around their processing.

In order for programs to communicate with Traffic Server, the server exposes a JSONRRPC 2.0 API where programs can communicate with it.

Administrative API

This section describes how to interact with the administrative RPC API to interact with Traffic Server

Records

When interacting with the admin api, there are a few structures that need to be understood, this section will describe each of them.

RPC Record Request

To obtain information regarding a particular record(s) from Traffic Server, we should use the following fields in an unnamed json structure.

Field

Type

Description

record_name

string

The name we want to query from Traffic Server. This is optional if record_name_regex is used.

record_name_regex

string

The regular expression we want to query from Traffic Server. This is optional if record_name is used.

rec_types

array[number|string]
optional A list of types that should be used to match against the found record. These types refer to RecT.

Other values (in decimal) than the ones defined by the RecT enum will be ignored. If no type is specified, the server will not match the type against the found record.

注釈

If record_name and record_name_regex are both provided, the server will not use any of them. Only one should be provided.

Example:

  1. Single record:

{
   "id":"2947819a-8563-4f21-ba45-bde73210e387",
   "jsonrpc":"2.0",
   "method":"admin_lookup_records",
   "params":[
      {
         "record_name":"proxy.config.exec_thread.autoconfig.scale",
         "rec_types":[
            1,
            16
         ]
      }
   ]
}

  1. Multiple records:

{
   "id": "ded7018e-0720-11eb-abe2-001fc69cc946",
   "jsonrpc": "2.0",
   "method": "admin_lookup_records",
   "params": [{
         "record_name": "proxy.config.exec_thread.autoconfig.scale"
      },
      {
         "record_name": "proxy.config.log.rolling_interval_sec",
         "rec_types": [1]
      }
   ]
}

  1. Batch Request

[
   {
      "id": "ded7018e-0720-11eb-abe2-001fc69cc946",
      "jsonrpc": "2.0",
      "method": "admin_lookup_records",
      "params": [{
         "record_name_regex": "proxy.config.exec_thread.autoconfig.scale",
         "rec_types": [1]
      }]
   }, {
      "id": "dam7018e-0720-11eb-abe2-001fc69dd123",
      "jsonrpc": "2.0",
      "method": "admin_lookup_records",
      "params": [{
         "record_name_regex": "proxy.config.log.rolling_interval_sec",
         "rec_types": [1]
      }]
   }
]

RPC Record Response

When querying for a record(s), in the majority of the cases the record api will respond with the following json structure.

Field

Type

Description

recordList

array[record]

A list of record object. See RecordRequestObject

errorList

array[errors]

A list of error object. See RecordErrorObject

RPC Record Error Object

All errors that are found during a record query, will be returned back to the caller in the error_list field as part of the RecordResponse object. The record errors have the following fields.

Field

Type

Description

code

string

optional An error code that should be used to get a description of the error.(Add error codes)

record_name

string

optional The associated record name, this may be omitted sometimes.

message

string

optional A descriptive message. The server can omit this value.

Example:

1{
2   "code": "2007",
3   "record_name": "proxy.config.exec_thread.autoconfig.scale"
4}

Examples:

  1. Request a non existing record among with an invalid type for a record:

     1{
 2   "id": "ded7018e-0720-11eb-abe2-001fc69cc946",
 3   "jsonrpc": "2.0",
 4   "method": "admin_lookup_records",
 5   "params": [
 6      {
 7            "record_name": "non.existing.record"
 8      },
 9      {
10            "record_name": "proxy.process.http.total_client_connections_ipv4",
11            "rec_types": [1]
12      }
13   ]
14}

    Line 7 requests a non existing record and in line 11 we request a type that does not match the record's type.

     1{
 2   "jsonrpc":"2.0",
 3   "result":{
 4      "errorList":[
 5         {
 6            "code":"2000",
 7            "record_name":"non.existing.record"
 8         },
 9         {
10            "code":"2007",
11            "record_name":"proxy.process.http.total_client_connections_ipv4"
12         }
13      ]
14   },
15   "id":"ded7018e-0720-11eb-abe2-001fc69cc946"
16}

    In this case we get the response indicating that the requested fields couldn't be retrieved. See RecordErrorObject for more details.

    The error list can also be included among with a recordList

     1{
 2   "jsonrpc":"2.0",
 3   "result":{
 4      "recordList":[]
 5      ,"errorList":[
 6         {
 7            "code":"2000",
 8            "record_name":"non.existing.record"
 9         },
10         {
11            "code":"2007",
12            "record_name":"proxy.process.http.total_client_connections_ipv4"
13         }
14      ]
15   },
16   "id":"ded7018e-0720-11eb-abe2-001fc69cc946"
17}

    注釈

    If there is no errors to report, the "errorList" field will be represented as an empty list ([]).

JSONRPC Record Errors

The following errors could be generated when requesting record from the server.

class RecordError
enumerator RECORD_NOT_FOUND = 2000

Record not found.

enumerator RECORD_NOT_CONFIG = 2001

Record is not a configuration type.

enumerator RECORD_NOT_METRIC = 2002

enumerator REQUESTED_TYPE_MISMATCH = 2007

enumerator INVALID_INCOMING_DATA = 2008

This could be caused by an invalid value in the incoming request which may cause the parser to fail.

Host

admin_host_set_status

Description

A record to track status is created for each host. The name is the host fqdn. This record contains the overall status and the status for each reason. The records may be viewed using the admin_host_get_status rpc api.

Parameters

Field

Type

Description

operation

string

The name of the record that is meant to be updated.

host

array[string]

A list of hosts that we want to interact with.

reason

string

Reason for the operation.

time

string

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. optional when op=up

operation:

Field

Type

Description

up

string

Marks the listed hosts as up so that they will be available for use as a next hop parent. Use 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

down

string

Marks the listed hosts as down so that they will not be chosen as a next hop parent. If 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.

reason:

Field

Type

Description

active

string

Set the active health check reason.

local

string

Set the local health check reason.

manual

string

Set the administrative reason. This is the default reason if a reason is needed and not provided by this option. If an invalid reason is provided manual will be defaulted.

Internally the reason can be self_detect if 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.

注釈

The up / down status values are independent, and a host is consider available if and only if all of the statuses are "up".

Result

The response will contain the default success_response or an error. JSON RPC errors.
