Configuration Architecture

Unified Configuration System

The collector implements a unified configuration system with three main components:

1. ConfigFactory

Central configuration factory that provides:

• Default values management
• Environment variable processing
• Configuration validation
• Utility methods for configuration manipulation

// Create configuration with defaults
factory := config.NewConfigFactory()
cfg := factory.CreateDefaultConfig()

// Create from environment variables
envCfg := factory.CreateFromEnv()

// Merge file config with environment overrides
mergedCfg := factory.MergeWithEnv(fileCfg)

// Validate configuration
if err := factory.ValidateConfig(cfg); err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Invalid configuration:", err)
}

2. Configuration Entry Points

Three distinct entry points for different use cases:

• config.LoadFromFile(path): File-only configuration loading
• config.LoadFromEnv(): Environment-only configuration loading
• config.LoadUnified(path): Combined file + environment loading (recommended)

3. Configuration Structure

type CollectorConfig struct {
    Collector CollectorSection `yaml:"collector"`
}

type CollectorSection struct {
    Info     CollectorInfo     `yaml:"info"`
    Log      CollectorLogConfig `yaml:"log"`
    Manager  ManagerConfig     `yaml:"manager"`
    Identity string           `yaml:"identity"`
    Mode     string           `yaml:"mode"`
}

type ManagerConfig struct {
    Host     string `yaml:"host"`
    Port     string `yaml:"port"`
    Protocol string `yaml:"protocol"`
}

4. Configuration Validation

The system includes comprehensive validation:

• Required fields: Identity, mode, manager host/port
• Value validation: Port numbers, protocol types, mode values
• Format validation: IP addresses, log levels

5. Default Values

Migration from Legacy Configuration

If you have existing configurations, here's how to migrate:

Legacy Format (transport.yaml)

server:
  host: "0.0.0.0"
  port: 1158
transport:
  protocol: "netty"
  server_addr: "127.0.0.1:1158"

New Format (hertzbeat-collector.yaml)

collector:
  info:
    name: hertzbeat-collector-go
    ip: 0.0.0.0
    port: 8080
  manager:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 1158
    protocol: netty
  identity: hertzbeat-collector-go
  mode: public

�🚀 Quick Start

1. Build and Run

# Install dependencies
go mod tidy

# Build
make build

# Run
./bin/collector server --config etc/hertzbeat-collector.yaml

2. Configuration Options

The collector supports multiple configuration methods with a unified configuration system:

File-based Configuration

# Run with configuration file
./bin/collector server --config etc/hertzbeat-collector.yaml

Example configuration file (etc/hertzbeat-collector.yaml):

collector:
  info:
    name: hertzbeat-collector-go
    ip: 127.0.0.1
    port: 8080

  log:
    level: debug

  # Manager/Transport configuration
  manager:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 1158
    protocol: netty

  # Collector identity and mode
  identity: hertzbeat-collector-go
  mode: public

Environment Variables (Docker Compatible)

The Go version is fully compatible with the Java version's environment variable configuration:

# Set environment variables
export IDENTITY=local
export COLLECTOR_NAME=hertzbeat-collector-go
export COLLECTOR_IP=127.0.0.1
export COLLECTOR_PORT=8080
export MANAGER_HOST=192.168.97.0
export MANAGER_PORT=1158
export MANAGER_PROTOCOL=grpc
export MODE=public
export LOG_LEVEL=info

# Run with environment variables
./bin/collector server

# Or use Docker
docker run -d \
    -e IDENTITY=local \
    -e MANAGER_HOST=192.168.97.0 \
    -e MANAGER_PORT=1158 \
    -e MANAGER_PROTOCOL=grpc \
    -e MODE=public \
    --name hertzbeat-collector-go \
    hertzbeat-collector-go

Unified Configuration (Recommended)

The collector uses a unified configuration system that supports both file and environment variable configurations:

• File + Environment: Environment variables override file settings
• Environment Only: Pure environment variable configuration
• File Only: Pure file-based configuration

Configuration precedence (highest to lowest):

1. Environment variables
2. Configuration file values
3. Built-in defaults

Supported Environment Variables

3. Examples

See examples/ directory for various usage examples:

• examples/main.go - Main example with environment variables
• examples/README.md - Complete usage guide
• examples/Dockerfile - Docker build example

🔄 Java Server Integration

This Go collector is designed to be compatible with the Java version of HertzBeat manager server. The transport layer supports both gRPC and Netty protocols for seamless integration.

Protocol Support

The Go collector supports two communication protocols:

1. Netty Protocol (Recommended for Java server compatibility)

   • Uses length-prefixed protobuf message format
   • Compatible with Java Netty server implementation
   • Default port: 1158

2. gRPC Protocol

   • Uses standard gRPC with protobuf
   • Supports bidirectional streaming
   • Default port: 1159

Configuration

Basic Configuration

The collector supports flexible configuration through multiple entry points:

# etc/hertzbeat-collector.yaml
collector:
  info:
    name: hertzbeat-collector-go
    ip: 127.0.0.1
    port: 8080

  log:
    level: debug

  # Manager/Transport configuration
  manager:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 1158
    protocol: netty

  # Collector identity and mode
  identity: hertzbeat-collector-go
  mode: public

Configuration Loading Methods

The collector provides three configuration loading methods:

1. File-only Configuration:

   import "hertzbeat.apache.org/hertzbeat-collector-go/internal/collector/config"
   
   cfg, err := config.LoadFromFile("etc/hertzbeat-collector.yaml")
   if err != nil {
       log.Fatal("Failed to load config:", err)
   }
   

2. Environment-only Configuration:

   import "hertzbeat.apache.org/hertzbeat-collector-go/internal/collector/config"
   
   cfg := config.LoadFromEnv()
   

3. Unified Configuration (Recommended):

   import "hertzbeat.apache.org/hertzbeat-collector-go/internal/collector/config"
   
   // Environment variables override file values
   cfg, err := config.LoadUnified("etc/hertzbeat-collector.yaml")
   if err != nil {
       log.Fatal("Failed to load config:", err)
   }
   

Connecting to Java Server

package main

import (
    "context"
    "log"
    "os"
    "os/signal"
    "syscall"
    "time"

    "hertzbeat.apache.org/hertzbeat-collector-go/internal/collector/config"
    "hertzbeat.apache.org/hertzbeat-collector-go/internal/collector/common/transport"
)

func main() {
    // Load configuration using unified loader (file + env)
    cfg, err := config.LoadUnified("etc/hertzbeat-collector.yaml")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Failed to load configuration:", err)
    }

    // Create transport runner with unified config
    runner := transport.New(cfg)

    ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
    defer cancel()

    // Start transport in background
    go func() {
        if err := runner.Start(ctx); err != nil {
            log.Printf("Failed to start transport: %v", err)
            cancel()
        }
    }()

    // Wait for shutdown signal
    sigChan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
    signal.Notify(sigChan, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)
    <-sigChan

    log.Println("Shutting down...")

    if err := runner.Close(); err != nil {
        log.Printf("Failed to close transport: %v", err)
    }
}

Direct Client Usage

For more granular control, you can use the transport client directly:

package main

import (
    "log"
    "hertzbeat.apache.org/hertzbeat-collector-go/internal/transport"
    pb "hertzbeat.apache.org/hertzbeat-collector-go/api/cluster_msg"
)

func main() {
    // Create Netty client for Java server
    factory := &transport.TransportClientFactory{}
    client, err := factory.CreateClient("netty", "127.0.0.1:1158")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Failed to create client:", err)
    }

    // Start client
    if err := client.Start(); err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Failed to start client:", err)
    }
    defer client.Shutdown()

    // Register message processor
    client.RegisterProcessor(100, func(msg interface{}) (interface{}, error) {
        if pbMsg, ok := msg.(*pb.Message); ok {
            log.Printf("Received message: %s", string(pbMsg.Msg))
            return &pb.Message{
                Type:      pb.MessageType_HEARTBEAT,
                Direction: pb.Direction_RESPONSE,
                Identity:  pbMsg.Identity,
                Msg:       []byte("response"),
            }, nil
        }
        return nil, nil
    })

    // Send heartbeat message
    heartbeat := &pb.Message{
        Type:      pb.MessageType_HEARTBEAT,
        Direction: pb.Direction_REQUEST,
        Identity:  "go-collector",
        Msg:       []byte("heartbeat"),
    }

    // Async send
    if err := client.SendMsg(heartbeat); err != nil {
        log.Printf("Failed to send message: %v", err)
    }

    // Sync send with timeout
    resp, err := client.SendMsgSync(heartbeat, 5000)
    if err != nil {
        log.Printf("Failed to send sync message: %v", err)
    } else if resp != nil {
        if pbResp, ok := resp.(*pb.Message); ok {
            log.Printf("Received response: %s", string(pbResp.Msg))
        }
    }
}

Message Types

The Go collector supports all message types defined in the Java version:

Connection Management

The transport layer provides robust connection management:

• Auto-reconnection: Automatically attempts to reconnect when connection is lost
• Connection monitoring: Background monitoring of connection health
• Heartbeat mechanism: Regular heartbeat messages to maintain connection
• Event handling: Connection state change notifications (connected, disconnected, connection failed)

Error Handling

The implementation includes comprehensive error handling:

• Connection timeouts: Proper timeout handling for connection attempts
• Message serialization: Protobuf marshaling/unmarshaling error handling
• Response correlation: Proper matching of requests and responses using identity field
• Graceful shutdown: Clean shutdown procedures with context cancellation

🔧 Technical Implementation Details

1. Netty Protocol Implementation

   // Length-prefixed message format for Java compatibility
   func (c *NettyClient) writeMessage(msg *pb.Message) error {
       data, err := proto.Marshal(msg)
       if err != nil {
           return fmt.Errorf("failed to marshal message: %w", err)
       }
       // Write length prefix (varint32)
       length := len(data)
       if err := binary.Write(c.writer, binary.BigEndian, uint32(length)); err != nil {
           return fmt.Errorf("failed to write length: %w", err)
       }
       // Write message data
       if _, err := c.writer.Write(data); err != nil {
           return fmt.Errorf("failed to write message: %w", err)
       }
       return c.writer.Flush()
   }
   

2. Response Future Pattern

   // Synchronous communication using ResponseFuture
   func (c *NettyClient) SendMsgSync(msg interface{}, timeoutMillis int) (interface{}, error) {
       // Create response future for this request
       future := NewResponseFuture()
       c.responseTable[pbMsg.Identity] = future
       defer delete(c.responseTable, pbMsg.Identity)
   
       // Send message
       if err := c.writeMessage(pbMsg); err != nil {
           future.PutError(err)
           return nil, err
       }
   
       // Wait for response with timeout
       return future.Wait(time.Duration(timeoutMillis) * time.Millisecond)
   }
   

3. Event-Driven Architecture

   // Connection event handling
   func (c *NettyClient) triggerEvent(eventType EventType, err error) {
       if c.eventHandler != nil {
           c.eventHandler(Event{
               Type:    eventType,
               Address: c.addr,
               Error:   err,
           })
       }
   }
