GO actuator configures the set of actuator endpoints for your application. It is very extensible and can be configured with Go's native HTTP Server Mux, or with any 3rd party web framework as well.
Go actuator uses semantic versioning. API should not change between patch and minor releases. New minor versions may add additional features to the API.
To install Go Actuator package, you need to install Go and set your Go workspace first.
- The first need Go installed (version 1.13+ is required), then you can use the below Go command to install Go Actuator.
go get github.com/sinhashubham95/go-actuator- Import it in your code:
import "github.com/sinhashubham95/go-actuator"The actuator library exposes a plain native handler function, and it is the responsibility of the application to put this handler to use. This can be used either directly with Go's native HTTP Server Mux, or with any 3rd party web framework as well.
The configuration contains the following:-
- Endpoints - This is the list of endpoints which will be enabled. This is not a mandatory parameter. If not provided, then all the endpoints will be enabled. The possible endpoints are -
/env,/info,/metrics,/ping,/shutdownand/threadDump. You can find the description of each of these endpoints below. - Env - This is the environment where the application is running. For example,
dev,stg,prod, etc. - Name - This is the name of the application which is using this actuator library.
- Port - This is the port where the application is running.
- Version - This is the current application version.
import actuator "github.com/sinhashubham95/go-actuator"
config := &actuator.Config{
Endpoints: []int{
actuator.Env,
actuator.Info,
actuator.Metrics,
actuator.Ping,
actuator.Shutdown,
actuator.ThreadDump,
},
Env: "dev",
Name: "Naruto Rocks",
Port: 8080,
Version: "0.1.0",
}Using with Go's Native Server Mux
import (
actuator "github.com/sinhashubham95/go-actuator"
"net/http"
)
// create a server
mux := &http.ServeMux{}
// get the handler for actuator
actuatorHandler := actuator.GetActuatorHandler(&Config{})
// configure the handler at this base endpoint
mux.Handle("/actuator", actuatorHandler)
// configure other handlers
....Using with Fast HTTP
import (
"strings"
"github.com/valyala/fasthttp"
actuator "github.com/sinhashubham95/go-actuator"
)
// get the handler for actuator
actuatorHandler := fasthttp.NewFastHTTPHandlerFunc(actuator.GetActuatorHandler(&Config{}))
// create a fast http handler
handler := func(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx) {
if strings.HasPrefix(ctx.Path(), "/actuator") {
// use the actuator handler
actuatorHandler(ctx)
return
}
// other request handler calls
}
fasthttp.ListenAndServe(":8080", handler)Using with GIN
import (
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
actuator "github.com/sinhashubham95/go-actuator"
"github.com/sinhashubham95/go-actuator/models"
)
// create the gin engine
engine := gin.Default()
// get the handler for actuator
actuatorHandler := actuator.GetActuatorHandler(&Config{})
ginActuatorHandler := func(ctx *gin.Context) {
actuatorHandler(ctx.Writer, ctx.Request)
}
engine.GET("/actuator/*endpoint", ginActuatorHandler)This is used to get all the environment variables for the runtime where the application is running. Note that to use this, you need to pass the runtime environment as an application flag as follows.
go build
./${APPLICATION_NAME}{
"env_key_1": "env_value_1",
"env_key_2": "env_value_2"
}This is used to get the basic information for an application. To get the correct and relevant information for your application you need to change the build script as well as the run script for your application as follows.
buildStamp=$(date -u '+%Y-%m-%d_%I:%M:%S%p')
commitId=$(git rev-list -1 HEAD)
commitTime=$(git show -s --format=%ci "$commitId")
commitAuthor=$(git --no-pager show -s --format='%an <%ae>' "$commitId")
gitUrl=$(git config --get remote.origin.url)
userName=$(whoami)
hostName=$(hostname)

}This is the lightweight ping endpoint that can be used along with your load balancer. This is used to know the running status of your application.
This is used to bring the application down.
This is used to get the trace of all the goroutines.
