DESCRIPTION

This module contains the core of the command line tool bkpr which is used to manage worker pools: it start, stop and monitor pools of persistent Beekeeper::Worker processes which receive RPC requests from message bus.

When started it daemonize itself (unless --foreground option is passed) and fork all worker processes, then monitor those forked processes and immediately respawn defunct ones.

CONFIGURATION

pool.config.json

Workers pools are defined into a file named pool.config.json, which is searched for into ENV BEEKEEPER_CONFIG_DIR, ~/.config/beekeeper and /etc/beekeeper. The file is in relaxed JSON format (so it allows comments and trailing commas).

All worker pools running on the host must be declared into the file, specifying which logical bus should be used and which services it will run.

Each entry define a worker pool. Required parameters are:

pool-id An arbitrary identifier for the worker pool.

bus-id An identifier of logical bus used by worker processes.

workers A map of worker classes to (arbitrary) config hashes.

The following example defines "MyApp" as a pool of 2 MyApp::Worker processes:

  [{
      "pool-id" : "MyApp",
      "bus-id"  : "backend",
      "workers" : {
          "MyApp::Worker" : { "workers_count" : 2 },
      },
  }]

bus.config.json

All logical buses used by your application are defined into a file named bus.config.json and specify the conection parameters to the STOMP brokers that will service them.

Each entry define a logical bus. Required parameters are:

bus-id arbitrary identifier of logical bus.

host hostname or IP address of the STOMP broker.

user username used to connect to the STOMP broker.

pass password used to connect to the STOMP broker.

vhost virtual host of STOMP broker (may be omitted).

The following example defines the logical bus "backend":

  [{
      "bus-id" : "backend",
      "host"   : "10.0.0.1",
      "user"   : "username",
      "pass"   : "password",
      "vhost"  : "/backend",
  }]
