OceanBase LogProxy (CE) is a proxy service of OceanBase CE. It is a part of OMS, and it can establish and manage connections with OceanBase for incremental log reading even with a isolated network.
LogProxy is based on libobcdc (former liboblog), which is packaged in oceanbase-ce-cdc rpm file from v4.0.0. You can get it from the software center or official mirrors.
For v1.1.0 or later versions of LogProxy, we no longer provide the rpm file for installation. Users should use the compressed package at software center or releases page, which already has a suitable libobcdc built in, so users no longer need to install libobcdc manually.
Please check the release note for detailed version compatibility information.
The libobcdc or liboblog was packaged in oceanbase-ce-devel rpm file before v4.0.0, and users need to install it manually before deploy the LogProxy service.
The version correspondence between libobcdc and LogProxy is as follows.
| libobcdc | LogProxy |
|---|---|
| 3.1.1 | 1.0.0 |
| 3.1.2 | 1.0.1 |
| 3.1.3 | 1.0.2 |
| 3.1.4 | 1.0.3 |
LogProxy service doesn't need params about OceanBase cluster to get started, one LogProxy can subscribe to multiple OceanBase clusters at the same time, and the connection configuration is passed from the client.
LogProxy will use a lot of memory, so it is strongly recommended to deploy it separately from the OceanBase server.
You can install a released version of LogProxy or build it from the source code.
If you want to install a released version, you can use the compressed package at the release page or software center. Here we take /usr/local/oblogproxy as the deployment directory.
wget https://github.com/oceanbase/oblogproxy/releases/download/v1.1.1/oblogproxy-ce-for-4x-1.1.1-20230418115957.tar.gz
tar -zxvf oblogproxy-ce-for-4x-1.1.1-20230418115957.tar.gz -C /usr/localSee How to build.
For security reasons, LogProxy needs to configure the username and password of a certain user, which must be a sys tenant user of the OceanBase to connect with. Note that the username here should not contain cluster name or tenant name.
You can configure the username and password by one of the following ways:
- Add it to local conf at
conf/conf.json. - Set it in the client params. See the client doc for details.
Firstly, set the libobcdc path to environment, here we use the builtin libobcdc in the deployment directory.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/oblogproxy/libobcdcGet the encrypted username and password.
./bin/logproxy -x username
./bin/logproxy -x passwordThen add the outputs to ob_sys_username and ob_sys_password at conf/conf.json.
You can start the service by the following command.
bash ./run.sh startThen you can use oblogclient to subscribe the log data from LogProxy, and the service is bind to port 2983 by default.
The service log of LogProxy is located at logs/, and the service log of LogReader (task thread) is located at run/{client-id}/logs/.
