/infos returns a blank page

[skakee]

Yesterday, 2020-10-06, I pulled the new versions of the binary with:
go get -u github.com/cloudflare/cfrpki/cmd/octorpki
/infos returns with HTTP code 200 an a zero-byte json doc. /output.json and /metrics return fine. Running on CentOS 8.2:
cloudfl+ 169753 1 3 Oct06 ? 00:33:17 /opt/cloudflare/go/bin/octorpki -mode server -output.sign=false -http.addr :8080

Any ideas as t why?

Hi @skakee,
Yes, I temporarily removed the endpoint in the alpha version. The idea is to refactor the API so it returns debugging information.
It will come back. Let me know if you have any requests/suggestions on data to display.

Thanks! That leads me to another question... if the available binary is "alpha", what is the recommended version I should run an how to obtain it? I'm running on CentOS 8.2.
Thanks again.

P.S. I use /info to check for '"stable":true ' in Nagios monitoring.

ah there's a new endpoint for this :/health.
I am a bit late on improving the alpha version, there are some changes I want to integrate but haven't had time yet.
The previous version should be fine: https://github.com/cloudflare/cfrpki/releases/tag/v1.1.4 (but is missing additions like Sentry and HTTPs TAL).

[skakee]

Got it. Thanks!

Hi! I just noticed that v1.1.4 is over a year old. Is this really the latest GA release? I know that there was a problem memory management you addressed since then. See: Octo-RPKI process RAM usage #37. That would imply that v1.1.4 still has memory usage issues. And I remember there was an issue with gortr holding on to TCP connections. Does version v0.14.6 on the release page of GoRTR fix that issue?

Hello,
Unfortunately, there have been time constrains which resulted in little changes during 2020. I was looking to fix #38, #66 and fix /infos before releasing 1.2.x.
For the GoRTR bug you mentioned: it was fixed with cloudflare/gortr@78f7a6e which is included in 0.14.6.

Don't hesitate if you have more questions or concerns

[skakee]

Thank you for the clarification. I will continue using my current version of octorpki and wait for an official release of the updated version. I am updating all our rpki servers' gortr to 0.14.6 (from current 0.14.4).

Hi. Above you mention "ah there's a new endpoint for this :/health". Version v1.2.0-pre of the Linux binary also seems to return a blank page for /health.

[lspgn]

Health should return an empty, code 200 page and text/plain. It can be used by containers healthchecks.
The v1.2.0 has the stable field back in /infos page.
Let me know if that works for you.
