Interface EurekaInstanceConfig

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractInstanceConfig, CloudInstanceConfig, MyDataCenterInstanceConfig, PropertiesInstanceConfig

public interface EurekaInstanceConfig

Configuration information required by the instance to register with Eureka server. Once registered, users can look up information from DiscoveryClient based on virtual hostname (also called VIPAddress), the most common way of doing it or by other means to get the information necessary to talk to other instances registered with Eureka.

Note that all configurations are not effective at runtime unless and otherwise specified.

Method Detail

getAppname

java.lang.String getAppname()
Get the name of the application to be registered with eureka.

Returns:
string denoting the name.

getAppGroupName

java.lang.String getAppGroupName()
Get the name of the application group to be registered with eureka.

Returns:
string denoting the name.

isInstanceEnabledOnit

boolean isInstanceEnabledOnit()
Indicates whether the instance should be enabled for taking traffic as soon as it is registered with eureka. Sometimes the application might need to do some pre-processing before it is ready to take traffic.

Returns:
true to immediately start taking traffic, false otherwise.

getNonSecurePort

int getNonSecurePort()
Get the non-secure port on which the instance should receive traffic.

Returns:
the non-secure port on which the instance should receive traffic.

getSecurePort

int getSecurePort()
Get the Secure port on which the instance should receive traffic.

Returns:
the non-secure port on which the instance should receive traffic.

isNonSecurePortEnabled

boolean isNonSecurePortEnabled()
Indicates whether the non-secure port should be enabled for traffic or not.

Returns:
true if the non-secure port is enabled, false otherwise.

getSecurePortEnabled

boolean getSecurePortEnabled()
Indicates whether the secure port should be enabled for traffic or not.

Returns:
true if the secure port is enabled, false otherwise.

getLeaseRenewalIntervalInSeconds

int getLeaseRenewalIntervalInSeconds()
Indicates how often (in seconds) the eureka client needs to send heartbeats to eureka server to indicate that it is still alive. If the heartbeats are not received for the period specified in getLeaseExpirationDurationInSeconds(), eureka server will remove the instance from its view, there by disallowing traffic to this instance.

Note that the instance could still not take traffic if it implements HealthCheckCallback and then decides to make itself unavailable.

Returns:
time in seconds

getLeaseExpirationDurationInSeconds

int getLeaseExpirationDurationInSeconds()
Indicates the time in seconds that the eureka server waits since it received the last heartbeat before it can remove this instance from its view and there by disallowing traffic to this instance.

Setting this value too long could mean that the traffic could be routed to the instance even though the instance is not alive. Setting this value too small could mean, the instance may be taken out of traffic because of temporary network glitches.This value to be set to atleast higher than the value specified in getLeaseRenewalIntervalInSeconds() .

Returns:
value indicating time in seconds.

getVirtualHostName

java.lang.String getVirtualHostName()
Gets the virtual host name defined for this instance.

This is typically the way other instance would find this instance by using the virtual host name.Think of this as similar to the fully qualified domain name, that the users of your services will need to find this instance.

Returns:
the string indicating the virtual host name which the clients use to call this service.

getSecureVirtualHostName

java.lang.String getSecureVirtualHostName()
Gets the secure virtual host name defined for this instance.

This is typically the way other instance would find this instance by using the secure virtual host name.Think of this as similar to the fully qualified domain name, that the users of your services will need to find this instance.

Returns:
the string indicating the secure virtual host name which the clients use to call this service.

getASGName

java.lang.String getASGName()
Gets the AWS autoscaling group name associated with this instance. This information is specifically used in an AWS environment to automatically put an instance out of service after the instance is launched and it has been disabled for traffic..

Returns:
the autoscaling group name associated with this instance.

getHostName

java.lang.String getHostName(boolean refresh)
Gets the hostname associated with this instance. This is the exact name that would be used by other instances to make calls.

Parameters:
refresh - true if the information needs to be refetched, false otherwise.
Returns:
hostname of this instance which is identifiable by other instances for making remote calls.

getMetadataMap

java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getMetadataMap()

Returns:
information that indicates which data center this instance is deployed in.

getIpAddress

java.lang.String getIpAddress()

Returns:
the ip address of this instance.

getStatusPageUrlPath

java.lang.String getStatusPageUrlPath()
Gets the relative status page URL Path for this instance. The status page URL is then constructed out of the getHostName(boolean) and the type of communication - secure or unsecure as specified in getSecurePort() and getNonSecurePort().

It is normally used for informational purposes for other services to find about the status of this instance. Users can provide a simple HTML indicating what is the current status of the instance.

Returns:
- relative URL that specifies the status page.

getStatusPageUrl

java.lang.String getStatusPageUrl()
Gets the absolute status page URL for this instance. The users can provide the getStatusPageUrlPath() if the status page resides in the same instance talking to eureka, else in the cases where the instance is a proxy for some other server, users can provide the full URL. If the full URL is provided it takes precedence.

* It is normally used for informational purposes for other services to find about the status of this instance. Users can provide a simple HTML indicating what is the current status of the instance. . The full URL should follow the format http://${eureka.hostname}:7001/ where the value ${eureka.hostname} is replaced at runtime.

Returns:
absolute status page URL of this instance.

getHomePageUrlPath

java.lang.String getHomePageUrlPath()
Gets the relative home page URL Path for this instance. The home page URL is then constructed out of the getHostName(boolean) and the type of communication - secure or unsecure as specified in getSecurePort() and getNonSecurePort().
