Defining Dialing Test Tasks Through Local JSON¶

In some cases, you may not be able to connect to SAAS's dialing task service. In this case, we can define the dialing task through the local JSON file.

Configuration¶

Configure Collector¶

Host InstallationKubernetes

Go to the conf.d/network directory under the DataKit installation directory, copy dialtesting.conf.sample and name it dialtesting.conf. Examples are as follows:

[[inputs.dialtesting]]
  server = "file://</path/to/your/local.json>"

  # Note: Taking Linux as an example, assuming your json directory is /some/path/my.json, then the
  # server should be written as file:///some/path/my.json

  # Note that the following tag suggestions are filled in one by one (do not modify the tag key here), so that the complete dialing test results can be displayed on the page.
  [inputs.dialtesting.tags] 
    country  = "<specify-datakit-country>"  # Countries where DataKit is deployed
    province = "<specify-datakit-province>" # Provices where DataKit is deployed
    city     = "<specify-datakit-city>"     # Cities where DataKit is deployed
    isp      = "<specify-datakit-ISP>"      # Specify the network service provider where DataKit is located
    region   = "<your-region>"              # You can specify a region name at will

The collector can now be turned on by ConfigMap injection collector configuration.

The specific country/region and ISP selection can be selected as shown in the following figure (note that you don't really create a new "self-built node", just provide an alternative source here):

Configure the Dial Test Task¶

At present, the dialing test task supports four dialing test types, namely HTTP, TCP, ICMP and WEBSOCKET services. The JSON format is as follows:

{
  "<Dial Test Type>": [
    {Dial test task 1},
    {Dial test task 2},
       ...
    {Dial test task n},
  ]
}

The following is a specific dialing test example:

{
  "HTTP": [
    {
      "name": "baidu-json-test",
      "method": "GET",
      "url": "http://baidu.com",
      "post_url": "https://<your-dataway-host>?token=<your-token>",
      "status": "OK",
      "frequency": "10s",
      "success_when_logic": "and",
      "success_when": [
        {
          "response_time": "1000ms",
          "header": {
            "Content-Type": [
              {
                "contains": "html"
              }
            ]
          },
          "status_code": [
            {
              "is": "200"
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      "advance_options": {
        "request_options": {
          "auth": {}
        },
        "request_body": {}
      },
      "update_time": 1645065786362746
    }
  ],
  "TCP": [
    {
      "name": "tcp-test",
      "host": "www.baidu.com",
      "port": "80",
      "status": "OK",
      "frequency": "10s",
      "success_when_logic": "or",
      "success_when": [
        {
          "response_time": [
            {
              "is_contain_dns": true,
              "target": "10ms"
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      "update_time": 1641440314550918
    }
  ]
}

After editing this JSON, it is recommended to find some（online tools or this tool）to verify that the JSON format is correct. If the JSON format is incorrect, the dialing test will not take effect.

After configuration, restart DataKit.

Test Task Field Definition¶

The dialing task fields include "public fields" and "additional fields" for specific dialing tasks.

Public Field¶

The public fields of dialing test tasks are defined as follows:

Field	Type	Whether Required	Description
`name`	string	Y	Dial test service name
`status`	string	Y	Dial test service status, such as "OK"/"stop"
`frequency`	string	Y	Dial frequency
`success_when_logic`	string	N	The logical relationship between success_when conditions, such as "and"/"or", defaults to "and"
`success_when`	object	Y	See below for details
`advance_options`	object	N	See below for details
`post_url`	string	N	Send the dialing test result to the workspace pointed by the Token, and if it is not filled in, send it to the workspace where the current DataKit is located

HTTP Dial Test¶

Extra field:

Field	Type	Whether Required	Description
`method`	string	Y	HTTP request method
`url`	string	Y	Complete HTTP request address

The overall JSON structure is as follows:

{
  "HTTP": [
    {
      "name": "baidu-json-test",
      "method": "GET",
      "url": "http://baidu.com",
      "post_url": "https://<your-dataway-host>?token=<your-token>",
      "status": "OK",
      "frequency": "10s",
      "success_when_logic": "and",
      "success_when": ...,
      "advance_options": ...
    },
    {
      ... another HTTP dialtesting
    }
  ]
}

`success_when` Definition¶

The judging conditions used to define the success of dialing test mainly include the following aspects:

HTTP request returns body judgment（body）

Field	Type	Whether Required	Description
`is`	string	N	Whether the returned body is equal to the specified field
`is_not`	string	N	Whether the returned body is not equal to the specified field
`match_regex`	string	N	Whether the returned body contains a substring of the matching regular expression
`not_match_regex`	string	N	Whether the returned body does not contain a substring of the matching regular expression
`contains`	string	N	Whether the returned body contains the specified substring
`not_contains`	string	N	Whether the returned body does not contain the specified substring

eg.

"success_when": [
  {
    "body": [
      {
        "match_regex": "\\d\\d.*",
      }
    ]
  }
]

Here, body can configure multiple verification rules, and the relationship between them is determined by "success_when_logic". When it is configured as and, if any rule is verified, it will be considered that the current dialing test failed; When it is configured to or, if any rule is verified, it will be considered that the current dialing test is successful. The default is an and relationship. The following verification rules all follow this judgment principle.

Note that the regular is escaped correctly here, and the actual regular expression in the example is \d\d.*.

HTTP request returns header judgment (header)

Field	Type	Whether Required	Description
`is`	string	N	The header returned specifies whether the field is equal to the specified value
`is_not`	string	N	The header returned specifies whether the field is not equal to the specified value.
`match_regex`	string	N	The header returned specifies whether the field contains a substring of the matching regular expression.
`not_match_regex`	string	N	The header returned specifies whether the field does not contain a substring of the matching regular expression.
`contains`	string	N	The header returned specifies whether the field contains the specified substring.
`not_contains`	string	N	The header returned specifies whether the field does not contain the specified substring.

for example:

"success_when": [
  {
    "header": {
       "Content-Type": [
         {
           "contains": "html"
         }
       ]
    }
  }
]

Because there may be decisions for multiple types of headers, validation for multiple headers can also be configured here:

"success_when": [
  {
    "header": {
       "Content-Type": [
         {
           "contains": "some-header-value"
         }
       ],

       "Etag": [
         {
           "match_regex": "\\d\\d-.*"
         }
       ]
    }
  }
]

HTTP request returns status code (status_code)

Field	Type	Whether Required	Description
`is`	string	N	Whether the status code returned is equal to the specified field
`is_not`	string	N	Whether the status code returned is not equal to the specified field
`match_regex`	string	N	Whether the status code returned contains a substring of the matching regular expression
`not_match_regex`	string	N	Whether the status code returned does not contain a substring of the matching regular expression
`contains`	string	N	Whether the status code returned contains the specified substring
`not_contains`	string	N	Whether the status code returned does not contain the specified substring

for example:

"success_when": [
  {
    "status_code": [
      {
        "is": "200"
      }
    ]
  }
]

For a certain URL dial test, its HTTP return is usually only one, so only one validation rule is generally configured here (although multiple array configurations are supported).

HTTP request response time (response_time)

Only one time value can be filled in here. If the response time of the request is less than the specified value, the dialing test is judged to be successful, such as:

"success_when": [
  {
    "response_time": "100ms"
  }
]

Note that the time units specified here are ns (nanoseconds)/us (microseconds) /ms (milliseconds) /s (seconds) /m (minutes) /h (hours). For HTTP dial testing, ms units are generally used.

Several kinds of judgment basis listed above can be used in combination, and the relationship between them is determined by "success_when_logic". When it is configured as and, if any rule is verified, it is considered that the current dialing test fails; When it is configured to or, if any rule is verified, it will be considered that the current dialing test is successful; The default is an and relationship. Such as:

"success_when": [
  {
    "response_time": "1000ms",
    "header": { HTTP header 相关判定 },
    "status_code": [ HTTP 状态码相关判定 ],
    "body": [ HTTP body 相关判定 ]
  }
]

`advance_options` Definition¶

        "password": "fawaikuangtu"
      },
    "headers": {
      "X-Prison-Breaker": "zhangsan",
      "X-Prison-Break-Password": "fawaikuangtu"
    },
    "follow_redirect": false
  },
}

    "body": "Fill in the request body, and pay attention to various complicated escapes here"
  }
}
