Built-in Servers

Cloudprober has a few built in servers. This is useful when you are probing that a connection is working, or as a baseline to compare the probing results from your actual service to.

HTTP #

server {
  type: HTTP
  http_server {
    port: 8080
  }
}

This creates an HTTP server that responds on port 8080. By default it will respond to the following endpoints:

• /healthcheck
• /lameduck

server {
  type: HTTP
  http_server {
    port: 8080
    pattern_data_handler {
      response_size: 1024
    }

    pattern_data_handler {
      response_size: 4
      pattern: "four"
    }
  }
}

This adds two endpoints to the HTTP server:

• /data_1024 which responds with 1024 bytes of cloudprobercloudprobercloudprober.
• /data_4 which responds with four.

See servers/http/proto/config.go for all HTTP server configuration options.

UDP #

A Cloudprober UDP server can be configured to either echo or discard packets it receives.

server {
  type: UDP
  udp_server {
    port: 85
    type: ECHO
  }
}

server {
  type: UDP
  udp_server {
    port: 90
    type: DISCARD
  }
}

See servers/udp/proto/config.go for all UDP server configuration options.

GRPC #

See servers/grpc/proto/config.go for all GRPC server configuration options.
