Dubbo Spring Boot Production-Ready

dubbo-spring-boot-actuator provides production-ready features (e.g. health checks, endpoints, and externalized configuration).

Content

  1. Main Content
  2. Integrate with Maven
  3. Health Checks
  4. Endpoints
  5. Externalized Configuration

Versions

For now, dubbo-spring-boot-actuator will separate two versions for Spring Boot 2.x and 1.x once release :

  • 0.2.x is a main stream release version for Spring Boot 2.x

  • 0.1.x is a legacy version for maintaining Spring Boot 1.x

Integrate with Maven

You can introduce the latest dubbo-spring-boot-actuator to your project by adding the following dependency to your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.alibaba.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>dubbo-spring-boot-actuator</artifactId>
    <version>0.2.1</version>
</dependency>

If your project failed to resolve the dependency, try to add the following repository:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>sonatype-nexus-snapshots</id>
        <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Health Checks

dubbo-spring-boot-actuator supports the standard Spring Boot HealthIndicator as a production-ready feature , which will be aggregated into Spring Boot's Health and exported on HealthEndpoint that works MVC (Spring Web MVC) and JMX (Java Management Extensions) both if they are available.

Web Endpoint : /health

Suppose a Spring Boot Web application did not specify management.server.port, you can access http://localhost:8080/actuator/health via Web Client and will get a response with JSON format is like below :

{
  "status": "UP",
  "dubbo": {
    "status": "UP",
    "memory": {
      "source": "management.health.dubbo.status.defaults",
      "status": {
        "level": "OK",
        "message": "max:3641M,total:383M,used:92M,free:291M",
        "description": null
      }
    },
    "load": {
      "source": "management.health.dubbo.status.extras",
      "status": {
        "level": "OK",
        "message": "load:1.73583984375,cpu:8",
        "description": null
      }
    },
    "threadpool": {
      "source": "management.health.dubbo.status.extras",
      "status": {
        "level": "OK",
        "message": "Pool status:OK, max:200, core:200, largest:0, active:0, task:0, service port: 12345",
        "description": null
      }
    },
    "server": {
      "source": "dubbo@ProtocolConfig.getStatus()",
      "status": {
        "level": "OK",
        "message": "/192.168.1.103:12345(clients:0)",
        "description": null
      }
    }
  }
  // ignore others
}

In samples , /health Web Endpoints are exposed on http://localhost:8081/health (consumer)

memory, load, threadpool and server are Dubbo's build-in StatusCheckers in above example. Dubbo allows the application to extend StatusChecker's SPI.

Default , memory and load will be added into Dubbo's HealthIndicator , it could be overridden by externalized configuration StatusChecker's defaults.

JMX Endpoint : Health

Health is a JMX (Java Management Extensions) Endpoint with ObjectName org.springframework.boot:type=Endpoint,name=Health , it can be managed by JMX agent ,e.g. JDK tools : jconsole and so on.

Build-in StatusCheckers

META-INF/dubbo/internal/com.alibaba.dubbo.common.status.StatusChecker declares Build-in StatusCheckers as follow :

registry=com.alibaba.dubbo.registry.status.RegistryStatusChecker
spring=com.alibaba.dubbo.config.spring.status.SpringStatusChecker
datasource=com.alibaba.dubbo.config.spring.status.DataSourceStatusChecker
memory=com.alibaba.dubbo.common.status.support.MemoryStatusChecker
load=com.alibaba.dubbo.common.status.support.LoadStatusChecker
server=com.alibaba.dubbo.rpc.protocol.dubbo.status.ServerStatusChecker
threadpool=com.alibaba.dubbo.rpc.protocol.dubbo.status.ThreadPoolStatusChecker

The property key that is name of StatusChecker can be a valid value of management.health.dubbo.status.* in externalized configuration.

“shutdown.count” means the count of shutdown of Dubbo's components , and the value indicates how many components have been shutdown.

Externalized Configuration

StatusChecker Defaults

management.health.dubbo.status.defaults is a property name for setting names of StatusCheckers , its value is allowed to multiple-values , for example :

management.health.dubbo.status.defaults = registry,memory,load

Default Value

The default value is :

management.health.dubbo.status.defaults = memory,load

StatusChecker Extras

management.health.dubbo.status.extras is used to override the [StatusChecker's defaults] , the multiple-values is delimited by comma :

management.health.dubbo.status.extras = load,threadpool

Health Checks Enabled

management.health.dubbo.enabled is a enabled configuration to turn on or off health checks feature, its' default is true.

If you'd like to disable health checks , you chould apply management.health.dubbo.enabled to be false:

management.health.dubbo.enabled = false

Endpoints Enabled

Dubbo Spring Boot providers actuator endpoints , however some of them are disable. If you'd like to enable them , please add following properties into externalized configuration :

# Enables Dubbo All Endpoints
management.endpoint.dubbo.enabled = true
management.endpoint.dubboshutdown.enabled = true
management.endpoint.dubboconfigs.enabled = true
management.endpoint.dubboservices.enabled = true
management.endpoint.dubboreferences.enabled = true
management.endpoint.dubboproperties.enabled = true
