DESCRIPTION

Net::MCMP is an implementation of the Mod Cluster Management Protocol (MCMP). Net::MCMP uses LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request for its communication with mod_cluster.

MCMP stands for Mod Cluster Management Protocol and is a method of adding proxy settings dynamically, as appose to creating static apache rules.

Official documentation of MCMP can be found here: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/Mod-ClusterManagementProtocol

USAGE

Net::MCMP->new(\%args)

Creates a new MCMP object, and returns a Net::MCMP object representing that connection.

my $mcmp = Net::MCMP({ uri => 'http://127.0.0.1:6666', debug => 0});

%args can contain:

  • uri (required)

    The URI of a mod_cluster handler.

  • debug (optional)

    If set to a true value, debugging messages will be printed out for every request and respons to mod_cluster.

$mcmp->config(\%conig)

Sends configuration for a node or set of nodes

If a low-level protocol error or unexpected local error occurs, we die with an error message.

$mcmp->config({
	JvmRoute            => "MyAppNode1",
	Balancer            => 'MyApp',
	Domain              => 'MyApp',
	StickySessionCookie => 'myapp_session',
	StickySessionPath   => 'myapp',
	Host                => '192.168.0.101',
	Port                => '3000',
	Type                => 'http',
	Context             => '/myapp',
	Alias               => "MyApp",	
});

%config can contain:

    Name of the node.

  • Alias (required)

    List the virtual hosts. ex. localhost,localhost2.

  • Host (optional)

    IP address (or hostname) where the node is going to receive requests from httpd (Defaults to localhost)

  • Port (optional)

    Port on which the node except to receive requests (Defaults to 8009)

  • Type (optional)

    http/https/ajp The protocol to use between httpd and application to process requests (Defaults to ajp)

  • Domain (optional)

    domain corresponding to the node (ie LB group), (Defaults to mycluster)

  • Balancer (optional)

    is the name of the balancer in httpd (Defaults to mycluster)

  • StickySession (optional)

    stick a request to a node "yes"/"no" (Defaults to "yes")

  • StickySessionCookie (optional)

    Name of the cookie containing the sessionid (Defaults to "JSESSIONID")

  • StickySessionPath (optional)

    Name of the parameter containing the sessionid (Defaults to "jsessionid")

  • StickySessionRemove (optional)

    remove the sessionid (cookie or parameter) when the request can't be routed to the right node "yes"/"no" (Defaults to "no")

  • StickySessionForce (optional)

    Return an error if the request can't be routed according to JVMRoute (Defaults to "yes")

  • WaitWorker (optional)

    value in seconds: time to wait for an available worker. (Defaults to 0, no wait)

  • MaxAttempts (optional)

    number of attemps to send the request to the backend server (Defaults to 1)

  • FlushPackets (optional)

    Tell how to flush the packets. On: Send immediately, Auto wait for flushwait time before sending, Off don't flush. (Defaults to "off")

  • FlushWait (optional)

    Time to wait before flushing. Value in seconds (Defaults to 10)

  • Ping (optional)

    Time to wait for a pong answer to a ping. 0 means we don't try to ping before sending. Value in secondes (Defaults to 10)

  • Smax (optional)

    soft max inactive connection over that limit after ttl are closed. Default depends on the mpm configuration

  • Ttl (optional)

    max time in seconds to life for connection above smax. (Defaults to 60)

  • Timeout (optional)

    Max time httpd will wait for the backend connection. (Defaults to 0, no timeout)

  • Context (optional)

    List of the contexts that node supports. ex. /myapp,/ourapp.
