<p>This project provides Netflix OSS integrations for Spring Boot apps through autoconfiguration
and binding to the Spring Environment and other Spring programming model idioms. With a few
simple annotations you can quickly enable and configure the common patterns inside your
application and build large distributed systems with battle-tested Netflix components. The
patterns provided include Service Discovery (Eureka), Circuit Breaker (Hystrix),
Intelligent Routing (Zuul) and Client Side Load Balancing (Ribbon).</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_service_discovery_eureka_clients">Service Discovery: Eureka Clients</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Service Discovery is one of the key tenets of a microservice based architecture. Trying to hand configure each client or some form of convention can be very difficult to do and can be very brittle. Eureka is the Netflix Service Discovery Server and Client. The server can be configured and deployed to be highly available, with each server replicating state about the registered services to the others.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="netflix-eureka-client-starter">How to Include Eureka Client</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To include Eureka Client in your project use the starter with group <code>org.springframework.cloud</code>
and artifact id <code>spring-cloud-starter-eureka</code>. See the <a href="http://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/">Spring Cloud Project page</a>
for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_registering_with_eureka">Registering with Eureka</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When a client registers with Eureka, it provides meta-data about itself
such as host and port, health indicator URL, home page etc. Eureka
receives heartbeat messages from each instance belonging to a service.
If the heartbeat fails over a configurable timetable, the instance is
normally removed from the registry.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Example eureka client:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableEurekaClient
@RestController
public class Application {
@RequestMapping("/")
public String home() {
return "Hello world";
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class).web(true).run(args);
}
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>(i.e. utterly normal Spring Boot app). In this example we use
<code>@EnableEurekaClient</code> explicitly, but with only Eureka available you
could also use <code>@EnableDiscoveryClient</code>. Configuration is required to
locate the Eureka server. Example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>eureka:
client:
serviceUrl:
defaultZone: http://localhost:8761/eureka/</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>where "defaultZone" is a magic string fallback value that provides the
service URL for any client that doesn&#8217;t express a preference
(i.e. it&#8217;s a useful default).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The default application name (service ID), virtual host and non-secure
port, taken from the <code>Environment</code>, are <code>${spring.application.name}</code>,
<code>${spring.application.name}</code> and <code>${server.port}</code> respectively.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><code>@EnableEurekaClient</code> makes the app into both a Eureka "instance"
(i.e. it registers itself) and a "client" (i.e. it can query the
registry to locate other services). The instance behaviour is driven
by <code>eureka.instance.*</code> configuration keys, but the defaults will be
fine if you ensure that your application has a
<code>spring.application.name</code> (this is the default for the Eureka service
ID, or VIP).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>See <a href="http://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/tree/master/spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-client/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/netflix/eureka/EurekaInstanceConfigBean.java">EurekaInstanceConfigBean</a> and <a href="http://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/tree/master/spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-client/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/netflix/eureka/EurekaClientConfigBean.java">EurekaClientConfigBean</a> for more details of the configurable options.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_authenticating_with_the_eureka_server">Authenticating with the Eureka Server</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>HTTP basic authentication will be automatically added to your eureka
client if one of the <code>eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone</code> URLs has
credentials embedded in it (curl style, like
<code><a href="http://user:password@localhost:8761/eureka" class="bare">http://user:password@localhost:8761/eureka</a></code>). For more complex needs
you can create a <code>@Bean</code> of type <code>DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs</code> and
inject <code>ClientFilter</code> instances into it, all of which will be applied
to the calls from the client to the server.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<div class="title">Note</div>
</td>
<td class="content">
Because of a limitation in Eureka it isn&#8217;t possible to support
per-server basic auth credentials, so only the first set that are
found will be used.
</td>

</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_status_page_and_health_indicator">Status Page and Health Indicator</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The status page and health indicators for a Eureka instance default to
"/info" and "/health" respectively, which are the default locations of
useful endpoints in a Spring Boot Actuator application. You need to
change these, even for an Actuator application if you use a
non-default context path or servlet path
(e.g. <code>server.servletPath=/foo</code>) or management endpoint path
(e.g. <code>management.contextPath=/admin</code>). Example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>eureka:
instance:
statusPageUrlPath: ${management.context-path}/info
healthCheckUrlPath: ${management.context-path}/health</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>These links show up in the metadata that is consumed by clients, and
used in some scenarios to decide whether to send requests to your
application, so it&#8217;s helpful if they are accurate.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_registering_a_secure_application">Registering a Secure Application</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If your app wants to be contacted over HTTPS you can set two flags in
the <code>EurekaInstanceConfig</code>, <em>viz</em>
<code>eureka.instance.[nonSecurePortEnabled,securePortEnabled]=[false,true]</code>
respectively. This will make Eureka publish instance information
showing an explicit preference for secure communication. The Spring
Cloud <code>DiscoveryClient</code> will always return an <code><a href="https://&#8230;&#8203" class="bare">https://&#8230;&#8203</a>;</code> URI for a
service configured this way, and the Eureka (native) instance
information will have a secure health check URL.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Because of the way
Eureka works internally, it will still publish a non-secure URL for
status and home page unless you also override those explicitly.
You can use placeholders to configure the eureka instance urls,
e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>eureka:
instance:
statusPageUrl: https://${eureka.hostname}/info
healthCheckUrl: https://${eureka.hostname}/health
homePageUrl: https://${eureka.hostname}/</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>(Note that <code>${eureka.hostname}</code> is a native placeholder only available
in later versions of Eureka. You could achieve the same thing with
Spring placeholders as well, e.g. using <code>${eureka.instance.hostName}</code>.)</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">

<td class="icon">
<div class="title">Note</div>
</td>
<td class="content">
If your app is running behind a proxy, and the SSL termination
is in the proxy (e.g. if you run in Cloud Foundry or other platforms
as a service) then you will need to ensure that the proxy "forwarded"
headers are intercepted and handled by the application. An embedded
Tomcat container in a Spring Boot app does this automatically if it
has explicit configuration for the 'X-Forwarded-\*` headers. A sign
that you got this wrong will be that the links rendered by your app to
itself will be wrong (the wrong host, port or protocol).

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_eureka_s_health_checks">Eureka&#8217;s Health Checks</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default, Eureka uses the client heartbeat to determine if a client is up.
Unless specified otherwise the Discovery Client will not propagate the
current health check status of the application per the Spring Boot Actuator. Which means
that after successful registration Eureka will always announce that the
application is in 'UP' state. This behaviour can be altered by enabling
Eureka health checks, which results in propagating application status
to Eureka. As a consequence every other application won&#8217;t be sending
traffic to application in state other then 'UP'.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">

<p>If you require more control over the health checks, you may consider

<h3 id="_eureka_metadata_for_instances_and_clients">Eureka Metadata for Instances and Clients</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>It&#8217;s worth spending a bit of time understanding how the Eureka metadata works, so you can use it in a way that makes sense in your platform. There is standard metadata for things like hostname, IP address, port numbers, status page and health check. These are published in the service registry and used by clients to contact the services in a straightforward way. Additional metadata can be added to the instance registration in the <code>eureka.instance.metadataMap</code>, and this will be accessible in the remote clients, but in general will not change the behaviour of the client, unless it is made aware of the meaning of the metadata. There are a couple of special cases described below where Spring Cloud already assigns meaning to the metadata map.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_using_eureka_on_cloudfoundry">Using Eureka on Cloudfoundry</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Cloudfoundry has a global router so that all instances of the same app have the same hostname (it&#8217;s the same in other PaaS solutions with a similar architecture). This isn&#8217;t necessarily a barrier to using Eureka, but if you use the router (recommended, or even mandatory depending on the way your platform was set up), you need to explicitly set the hostname and port numbers (secure or non-secure) so that they use the router. You might also want to use instance metadata so you can distinguish between the instances on the client (e.g. in a custom load balancer). By default, the <code>eureka.instance.instanceId</code> is <code>vcap.application.instance_id</code>. For example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>eureka:
instance:
hostname: ${vcap.application.uris[0]}
nonSecurePort: 80</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Depending on the way the security rules are set up in your Cloudfoundry instance, you might be able to register and use the IP address of the host VM for direct service-to-service calls. This feature is not (yet) available on Pivotal Web Services (<a href="https://run.pivotal.io">PWS</a>).</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_using_eureka_on_aws">Using Eureka on AWS</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the application is planned to be deployed to an AWS cloud, then the Eureka instance will have to be configured to be Amazon aware and this can be done by customizing the <a href="http://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/tree/master/spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-client/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/netflix/eureka/EurekaInstanceConfigBean.java">EurekaInstanceConfigBean</a> the following way:</p>

<h4 id="_changing_the_eureka_instance_id">Changing the Eureka Instance ID</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A vanilla Netflix Eureka instance is registered with an ID that is equal to its host name (i.e. only one service per host). Spring Cloud Eureka provides a sensible default that looks like this: <code>${spring.cloud.client.hostname}:${spring.application.name}:${spring.application.instance_id:${server.port}}}</code>. For example <code>myhost:myappname:8080</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Using Spring Cloud you can override this by providing a unique identifier in <code>eureka.instance.instanceId</code>. For example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>eureka:
instance:
instanceId: ${spring.application.name}:${vcap.application.instance_id:${spring.application.instance_id:${random.value}}}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>With this metadata, and multiple service instances deployed on
localhost, the random value will kick in there to make the instance
unique. In Cloudfoundry the <code>vcap.application.instance_id</code> will be
populated automatically in a Spring Boot application, so the
random value will not be needed.</p>

the logical Eureka service identifiers (VIPs) instead of physical

<p>Being an instance also involves a periodic heartbeat to the registry

service is not available for discovery by clients until the instance,
the server and the client all have the same metadata in their local
cache (so it could take 3 heartbeats). You can change the period using
<code>eureka.instance.leaseRenewalIntervalInSeconds</code> and this will speed up
the process of getting clients connected to other services. In
production it&#8217;s probably better to stick with the default because
there are some computations internally in the server that make
assumptions about the lease renewal period.</p>

<p>The Eureka server does not have a backend store, but the service

<p>By default every Eureka server is also a Eureka client and requires

<p>The combination of the two caches (client and server) and the
heartbeats make a standalone Eureka server fairly resilient to
failure, as long as there is some sort of monitor or elastic runtime
keeping it alive (e.g. Cloud Foundry). In standalone mode, you might
prefer to switch off the client side behaviour, so it doesn&#8217;t keep
trying and failing to reach its peers. Example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml (Standalone Eureka Server)</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>server:
port: 8761
eureka:
instance:
hostname: localhost
client:
registerWithEureka: false
fetchRegistry: false
serviceUrl:
defaultZone: http://${eureka.instance.hostname}:${server.port}/eureka/</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Notice that the <code>serviceUrl</code> is pointing to the same host as the local
instance.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_peer_awareness">Peer Awareness</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Eureka can be made even more resilient and available by running
multiple instances and asking them to register with each other. In
fact, this is the default behaviour, so all you need to do to make it
work is add a valid <code>serviceUrl</code> to a peer, e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml (Two Peer Aware Eureka Servers)</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>---
spring:
profiles: peer1
eureka:
instance:
hostname: peer1
client:
serviceUrl:
defaultZone: http://peer2/eureka/
---
spring:
profiles: peer2
eureka:
instance:
hostname: peer2
client:
serviceUrl:
defaultZone: http://peer1/eureka/</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this example we have a YAML file that can be used to run the same
server on 2 hosts (peer1 and peer2), by running it in different
Spring profiles. You could use this configuration to test the peer
awareness on a single host (there&#8217;s not much value in doing that in
production) by manipulating <code>/etc/hosts</code> to resolve the host names. In
fact, the <code>eureka.instance.hostname</code> is not needed if you are running
on a machine that knows its own hostname (it is looked up using
<code>java.net.InetAddress</code> by default).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can add multiple peers to a system, and as long as they are all
connected to each other by at least one edge, they will synchronize
the registrations amongst themselves. If the peers are physically
separated (inside a data centre or between multiple data centres) then
the system can in principle survive split-brain type failures.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_prefer_ip_address">Prefer IP Address</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In some cases, it is preferable for Eureka to advertise the IP Adresses
of services rather than the hostname. Set <code>eureka.instance.preferIpAddress</code>

IP Address rather than its hostname.</p>

<p>Netflix has created a library called <a href="https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix">Hystrix</a> that implements the <a href="http://martinfowler.com/bliki/CircuitBreaker.html">circuit breaker pattern</a>. In a microservice architecture it is common to have multiple layers of service calls.</p>

<p>A service failure in the lower level of services can cause cascading failure all the way up to the user. When calls to a particular service reach a certain threshold (20 failures in 5 seconds is the default in Hystrix), the circuit opens and the call is not made. In cases of error and an open circuit a fallback can be provided by the developer.</p>

<p>Having an open circuit stops cascading failures and allows overwhelmed or failing services time to heal. The fallback can be another Hystrix protected call, static data or a sane empty value.

<p>You also have the option to set the <code>hystrix.shareSecurityContext</code> property to <code>true</code>.

<h3 id="_using_ribbon_with_eureka">Using Ribbon with Eureka</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When Eureka is used in conjunction with Ribbon (i.e., both are on the classpath) the <code>ribbonServerList</code>
is overridden with an extension of <code>DiscoveryEnabledNIWSServerList</code>
which populates the list of servers from Eureka. It also replaces the
<code>IPing</code> interface with <code>NIWSDiscoveryPing</code> which delegates to Eureka
to determine if a server is up. The <code>ServerList</code> that is installed by
default is a <code>DomainExtractingServerList</code> and the purpose of this is
to make physical metadata available to the load balancer without using
AWS AMI metadata (which is what Netflix relies on). By default the
server list will be constructed with "zone" information as provided in
the instance metadata (so on the remote clients set
<code>eureka.instance.metadataMap.zone</code>), and if that is missing it can use
the domain name from the server hostname as a proxy for zone (if the
flag <code>approximateZoneFromHostname</code> is set). Once the zone information
is available it can be used in a <code>ServerListFilter</code>. By default it
will be used to locate a server in the same zone as the client because
the default is a <code>ZonePreferenceServerListFilter</code>. The zone of the
client is determined the same way as the remote instances by default,
i.e. via <code>eureka.instance.metadataMap.zone</code>.</p>

The orthodox "archaius" way to set the client zone is via a

for the instance&#8217;s own region (i.e. the <code>eureka.client.region</code>, which

<p><a href="https://github.com/Netflix/feign">Feign</a> is a declarative web service client. It makes writing web service clients easier. To use Feign create an interface and annotate it. It has pluggable annotation support including Feign annotations and JAX-RS annotations. Feign also supports pluggable encoders and decoders. Spring Cloud adds support for Spring MVC annotations and for using the same <code>HttpMessageConverters</code> used by default in Spring Web. Spring Cloud integrates Ribbon and Eureka to provide a load balanced http client when using Feign.</p>

</div>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>In the <code>@FeignClient</code> annotation the String value ("stores" above) is
an arbitrary client name, which is used to create a Ribbon load
balancer (see <a href="#spring-cloud-ribbon">below for details of Ribbon
support</a>). You can also specify a URL using the <code>url</code> attribute
(absolute value or just a hostname). The name of the bean in the
application context is the fully qualified name of the interface.
An alias is also created which is the 'name' attribute plus 'FeignClient'.
For the example above, <code>@Qualifier("storesFeignClient")</code> could be used to
reference the bean. If you want to change the default <code>@Qualifier</code> value,
this can be done with the <code>qualifier</code> value in <code>@FeignClient</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The Ribbon client above will want to discover the physical addresses
for the "stores" service. If your application is a Eureka client then
it will resolve the service in the Eureka service registry. If you
don&#8217;t want to use Eureka, you can simply configure a list of servers
in your external configuration (see
<a href="#spring-cloud-ribbon-without-eureka">above for example</a>).</p>

<p>A central concept in Spring Cloud&#8217;s Feign support is that of the named client. Each feign client is part of an ensemble of components that work together to contact a remote server on demand, and the ensemble has a name that you give it as an application developer using the <code>@FeignClient</code> annotation. Spring Cloud creates a new ensemble as an
<code>ApplicationContext</code> on demand for each named client using <code>FeignClientsConfiguration</code>. This contains (amongst other things) an <code>feign.Decoder</code>, a <code>feign.Encoder</code>, and a <code>feign.Contract</code>.</p>

<p><a href="https://github.com/Netflix/archaius">Archaius</a> is the Netflix client side configuration library. It is the library used by all of the Netflix OSS components for configuration. Archaius is an extension of the <a href="http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration">Apache Commons Configuration</a> project. It allows updates to configuration by either polling a source for changes or for a source to push changes to the client.

<p>To include Zuul in your project use the starter with group <code>org.springframework.cloud</code>
and artifact id <code>spring-cloud-starter-zuul</code>. See the <a href="http://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/">Spring Cloud Project page</a>

<h3 id="netflix-zuul-reverse-proxy">Embedded Zuul Reverse Proxy</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud has created an embedded Zuul proxy to ease the
development of a very common use case where a UI application wants to
proxy calls to one or more back end services. This feature is useful
for a user interface to proxy to the backend services it requires,
avoiding the need to manage CORS and authentication concerns
independently for all the backends.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To enable it, annotate a Spring Boot main class with
<code>@EnableZuulProxy</code>, and this forwards local calls to the appropriate
service. By convention, a service with the ID "users", will
receive requests from the proxy located at <code>/users</code> (with the prefix
stripped). The proxy uses Ribbon to locate an instance to forward to
via discovery, and all requests are executed in a
<a href="#hystrix-fallbacks-for-routes">hystrix command</a>, so
failures will show up in Hystrix metrics, and once the circuit is open
the proxy will not try to contact the service.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<div class="title">Note</div>
</td>
<td class="content">
the Zuul starter does not include a discovery client, so for
routes based on service IDs you need to provide one of those
on the classpath as well (e.g. Eureka is one choice).
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To skip having a service automatically added, set
<code>zuul.ignored-services</code> to a list of service id patterns. If a service
matches a pattern that is ignored, but also included in the explicitly
configured routes map, then it will be unignored. Example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:
ignoredServices: '*'
routes:
users: /myusers/**</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this example, all services are ignored <strong>except</strong> "users".</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To augment or change
the proxy routes, you can add external configuration like the
following:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:
routes:
users: /myusers/**</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This means that http calls to "/myusers" get forwarded to the "users"
service (for example "/myusers/101" is forwarded to "/101").</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To get more fine-grained control over a route you can specify the path
and the serviceId independently:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:
routes:
users:
path: /myusers/**
serviceId: users_service</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This means that http calls to "/myusers" get forwarded to the
"users_service" service. The route has to have a "path" which can be
specified as an ant-style pattern, so "/myusers/*" only matches one
level, but "/myusers/**" matches hierarchically.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The location of the backend can be specified as either a "serviceId"
(for a service from discovery) or a "url" (for a physical location), e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:

users:
path: /myusers/**
url: http://example.com/users_service</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>These simple url-routes don&#8217;t get executed as a <code>HystrixCommand</code> nor can you loadbalance multiple URLs with Ribbon.
To achieve this, specify a service-route and configure a Ribbon client for the
serviceId (this currently requires disabling Eureka support in Ribbon:
see <a href="#spring-cloud-ribbon-without-eureka">above for more information</a>), e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">

users:
ribbon:

</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can provide convention between serviceId and routes using

<p>This means that a serviceId "myusers-v1" will be mapped to route
"/v1/myusers/**". Any regular expression is accepted but all named
groups must be present in both servicePattern and routePattern. If
servicePattern does not match a serviceId, the default behavior is
used. In the example above, a serviceId "myusers" will be mapped to route
"/myusers/**" (no version detected) This feature is disable by
default and only applies to discovered services.</p>

the service-specific prefix from individual routes, e.g.</p>

(and if you need to you can modify the parameters of the retry operations using
the Ribbon client configuration).</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>It&#8217;s OK to share headers between services in the same system, but you
probably don&#8217;t want sensitive headers leaking downstream into external
servers. You can specify a list of ignored headers as part of the
route configuration. Cookies play a special role because they have
well-defined semantics in browsers, and they are always to be treated
as sensitive. If the consumer of your proxy is a browser, then cookies
for downstream services also cause problems for the user because they
all get jumbled up (all downstream services look like they come from
the same place).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you are careful with the design of your services, for example if
only one of the downstream services sets cookies, then you might be
able to let them flow from the backend all the way up to the
caller. Also, if your proxy sets cookies and all your back end
services are part of the same system, it can be natural to simply
share them (and for instance use Spring Session to link them up to some
shared state). Other than that, any cookies that get set by downstream
services are likely to be not very useful to the caller, so it is
recommended that you make (at least) "Set-Cookie" and "Cookie" into
sensitive headers for routes that are not part of your domain. Even
for routes that <strong>are</strong> part of your domain, try to think carefully
about what it means before allowing cookies to flow between them and
the proxy.</p>

<p>In addition to the per-route sensitive headers, you can set a global

services. By default these are empty, if Spring Security is not on the
classpath, and otherwise they are initialized to a set of well-known
"security" headers (e.g. involving caching) as specified by Spring
Security. The assumption in this case is that the downstream services
might add these headers too, and we want the values from the proxy.
To not discard these well known security headers in case Spring Security is on the classpath you can set <code>zuul.ignoreSecurityHeaders</code> to <code>false</code>.

<div class="paragraph">
<p>A common pattern when migrating an existing application or API is to
"strangle" old endpoints, slowly replacing them with different
implementations. The Zuul proxy is a useful tool for this because you
can use it to handle all traffic from clients of the old endpoints,
but redirect some of the requests to new ones.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Example configuration:</p>

<p>In this example we are strangling the "legacy" app which is mapped to
all requests that do not match one of the other patterns. Paths in

locally, e.g. with a normal Spring <code>@RequestMapping</code>. Paths in

<h3 id="_uploading_files_through_zuul">Uploading Files through Zuul</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you <code>@EnableZuulProxy</code> you can use the proxy paths to
upload files and it should just work as long as the files
are small. For large files there is an alternative path
which bypasses the Spring <code>DispatcherServlet</code> (to
avoid multipart processing) in "/zuul/*". I.e. if
<code>zuul.routes.customers=/customers/**</code> then you can
POST large files to "/zuul/customers/*". The servlet
path is externalized via <code>zuul.servletPath</code>. Extremely
large files will also require elevated timeout settings
if the proxy route takes you through a Ribbon load
balancer, e.g.</p>

<p>Note that for streaming to work with large files, you need to use chunked encoding in the request (which some browsers
do not do by default). E.g. on the command line:</p>

<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">

<p>When used together, Spectator/Servo and Atlas provide a near real-time operational insight platform.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spectator and Servo are Netflix&#8217;s metrics collection libraries. Atlas is a Netflix metrics backend to manage dimensional time series data.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Servo served Netflix for several years and is still usable, but is gradually being phased out in favor of Spectator, which is only designed to work with Java 8. Spring Cloud Netflix provides support for both, but Java 8 based applications are encouraged to use Spectator.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_dimensional_vs_hierarchical_metrics">Dimensional vs. Hierarchical Metrics</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Boot Actuator metrics are hierarchical and metrics are separated only by name. These names often follow a naming convention that embeds key/value attribute pairs (dimensions) into the name separated by periods. Consider the following metrics for two endpoints, root and star-star:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-json" data-lang="json">{
"counter.status.200.root": 20,
"counter.status.400.root": 3,
"counter.status.200.star-star": 5,
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The first metric gives us a normalized count of successful requests against the root endpoint per unit of time. But what if the system had 20 endpoints and you want to get a count of successful requests against all the endpoints? Some hierarchical metrics backends would allow you to specify a wild card such as <code>counter.status.200.<strong></code> that would read all 20 metrics and aggregate the results. Alternatively, you could provide a <code>HandlerInterceptorAdapter</code> that intercepts and records a metric like <code>counter.status.200.all</code> for all successful requests irrespective of the endpoint, but now you must write 20+1 different metrics. Similarly if you want to know the total number of successful requests for all endpoints in the service, you could specify a wild card such as <code>counter.status.2</strong>.*</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Even in the presence of wildcarding support on a hierarchical metrics backend, naming consistency can be difficult. Specifically the position of these tags in the name string can slip with time, breaking queries. For example, suppose we add an additional dimension to the hierarchical metrics above for HTTP method. Then <code>counter.status.200.root</code> becomes <code>counter.status.200.method.get.root</code>, etc. Our <code>counter.status.200.*</code> suddenly no longer has the same semantic meaning. Furthermore, if the new dimension is not applied uniformly across the codebase, certain queries may become impossible. This can quickly get out of hand.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Netflix metrics are tagged (a.k.a. dimensional). Each metric has a name, but this single named metric can contain multiple statistics and 'tag' key/value pairs that allows more querying flexibility. In fact, the statistics themselves are recorded in a special tag.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Recorded with Netflix Servo or Spectator, a timer for the root endpoint described above contains 4 statistics per status code, where the count statistic is identical to Spring Boot Actuator&#8217;s counter. In the event that we have encountered an HTTP 200 and 400 thus far, there will be 8 available data points:</p>

Spectator provides 4 meter types: counter, timer, gauge, and distribution summary.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud Spectator integration configures an injectable <code>com.netflix.spectator.api.Registry</code> instance for you.

<p>The timer simultaneously records 4 statistics: count, max, totalOfSquares, and totalTime.

<p>The normal use of a gauge involves registering the gauge once in initialization with an id, a reference to the object to be sampled, and a function to get or compute a numeric value based on the object. The reference to the object is passed in separately and the Spectator registry will keep a weak reference to the object. If the object is garbage collected, then Spectator will automatically drop the registration. See <a href="https://github.com/Netflix/spectator/wiki/Gauge-Usage#using-lambda">the note</a> in Spectator&#8217;s documentation about potential memory leaks if this API is misused.</p>
