Overview

Package external implements an external probe type for cloudprober.

External probe type executes an external process for actual probing. These probes can have two modes: "once" and "server". In "once" mode, the external process is started for each probe run cycle, while in "server" mode, external process is started only if it's not running already and Cloudprober communicates with it over stdin/stdout for each probe cycle.

TODO(manugarg): Add a way to test this program. Write another program that implements the probe server protocol and use that for testing.

Variables

View Source
var (
	// TimeBetweenRequests is the time interval between probe requests for
	// multiple targets. In server mode, probe requests for multiple targets are
	// sent to the same external probe process. Sleeping between requests provides
	// some time buffer for the probe process to dequeue the incoming requests and
	// avoids filling up the communication pipe.
	//
	// Note that this value impacts the effective timeout for a target as timeout
	// is applied for all the targets in aggregate. For example, 100th target in
	// the targets list will have the effective timeout of (timeout - 1ms).
	// TODO(manugarg): Make sure that the last target in the list has an impact of
	// less than 1% on its timeout.
	TimeBetweenRequests = 10 * time.Microsecond

Types

type Probe

type Probe struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Probe holds aggregate information about all probe runs, per-target.

func (*Probe) Init

func (p *Probe) Init(name string, opts *options.Options) error

Init initializes the probe with the given params.

func (*Probe) Start

func (p *Probe) Start(ctx context.Context, dataChan chan *metrics.EventMetrics)

Start starts and runs the probe indefinitely.
