  • Method Details

    • verboseExceptionSampler

      public static Sampler<Class<? extends Throwable>> verboseExceptionSampler()
      Returns the Sampler that determines whether to retain the stack trace of the exceptions that are thrown frequently by Armeria.
      See Also:
      verboseExceptionSamplerSpec()
    • verboseExceptionSamplerSpec

      public static String verboseExceptionSamplerSpec()
      Returns the specification string of the Sampler that determines whether to retain the stack trace of the exceptions that are thrown frequently by Armeria. A sampled exception will have the stack trace while the others will have an empty stack trace to eliminate the cost of capturing the stack trace.

      The default value of this flag is "rate-limit=10", which retains the stack trace of the exceptions at the maximum rate of 10 exceptions/sec. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.verboseExceptions=<specification> JVM option to override the default. See Sampler.of(String) for the specification string format.

    • verboseSocketExceptions

      public static boolean verboseSocketExceptions()
      Returns whether to log the socket exceptions which are mostly harmless. If enabled, the following exceptions will be logged:

      It is recommended to keep this flag disabled, because it increases the amount of log messages for the errors you usually do not have control over, e.g. unexpected socket disconnection due to network or remote peer issues.

      This flag is disabled by default. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.verboseSocketExceptions=true JVM option to enable it.

      See Also:
      Exceptions.isExpected(Throwable)
    • verboseResponses

      public static boolean verboseResponses()
      Returns whether the verbose response mode is enabled. When enabled, the server responses will contain the exception type and its full stack trace, which may be useful for debugging while potentially insecure. When disabled, the server responses will not expose such server-side details to the client.

      This flag is disabled by default. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.verboseResponses=true JVM option or use ServerBuilder.verboseResponses(boolean) to enable it.

    • requestContextStorageProvider

      @Nullable public static String requestContextStorageProvider()
      Returns the fully qualified class name of RequestContextStorageProvider that is used to choose when multiple RequestContextStorageProviders exist.

      The default value of this flag is null, which means only one RequestContextStorageProvider must be found via Java SPI. If there are more than one, you must specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.requestContextStorageProvider=<FQCN> JVM option to choose the RequestContextStorageProvider.

    • useEpoll

      public static boolean useEpoll()
      Returns whether the JNI-based /dev/epoll socket I/O is enabled. When enabled on Linux, Armeria uses /dev/epoll directly for socket I/O. When disabled, java.nio socket API is used instead.

      This flag is enabled by default for supported platforms. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.useEpoll=false JVM option to disable it.

    • useOpenSsl

      public static boolean useOpenSsl()
      Returns whether the JNI-based TLS support with OpenSSL is enabled. When enabled, Armeria uses OpenSSL for processing TLS connections. When disabled, the current JVM's default SSLEngine is used instead.

      This flag is enabled by default for supported platforms. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.useOpenSsl=false JVM option to disable it.

    • dumpOpenSslInfo

      public static boolean dumpOpenSslInfo()
      Returns whether information about the OpenSSL environment should be dumped when first starting the application, including supported ciphers.

      This flag is disabled by default. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.dumpOpenSslInfo=true JVM option to enable it.

      If useOpenSsl() returns false, this also returns false no matter you specified the JVM option.

    • maxNumConnections

    • useJdkDnsResolver

      public static boolean useJdkDnsResolver()
      Enables DefaultAddressResolverGroup that resolves domain name using JDK's built-in domain name lookup mechanism. Note that JDK's built-in resolver performs a blocking name lookup from the caller thread, and thus this flag should be enabled only when the default asynchronous resolver does not work as expected, for example by always throwing a DnsNameResolverTimeoutException.

      This flag is disabled by default. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.useJdkDnsResolver=true JVM option to enable it.

    • reportBlockedEventLoop

      public static boolean reportBlockedEventLoop()
      Returns whether CompletableFutures returned by Armeria methods log a warning if CompletableFuture.join() or CompletableFuture.get() are called from an event loop thread. Blocking an event loop thread in this manner reduces performance significantly, possibly causing deadlocks, so it should be avoided at all costs (e.g. using thenApply() type methods to execute asynchronously or running the logic using ServiceRequestContext.blockingTaskExecutor().

      This flag is enabled by default. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.reportBlockedEventLoop=false JVM option to disable it.

    • validateHeaders

      public static boolean validateHeaders()
      Enables validation of HTTP headers for dangerous characters like newlines - such characters can be used for injecting arbitrary content into HTTP responses.

      DISCLAIMER: Do not disable this unless you know what you are doing. It is recommended to keep this validation enabled to ensure the sanity of responses. However, you may wish to disable the validation to improve performance when you are sure responses are always safe, for example when only HTTP/2 is used, or when you populate headers with known values, and have no chance of using untrusted ones.

      See CWE-113 for more details on the security implications of this flag.

      This flag is enabled by default. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.validateHeaders=false JVM option to disable it.

    • useLegacyMeterNames

      This flag is disabled by default. Specify the -Dcom.linecorp.armeria.useLegacyMeterNames=true JVM option to enable it.
