The passivator process purpose is watching last access services dates submitted by Gogeta and starting/stopping those services depending on limit access duration (If no activity has been detected during 12 hours, service is passivated). The process will restart after first new activity detected.
It is part of the nuxeo.io infrastructure.
The passivator is:
- watching etcd services entries to re-activate service when a user is trying to access it
- executing a cron process to check every 5 minutes if some services need to be passivated after 12 hours without activity
Several parameters allow to configure the way the passivator behaves :
serviceDirallows to select the prefix of the key where it watches for services (default value: "/services" )etcdAddressspecifies the address of theetcdserver (default value: "http://172.17.42.1:4001")cronDurationspecifies the lap duration in minutes to check services to passivate (default value: "5")passiveLimitDurationspecifies the limit duration in hours when a service has to be passivated if no activity has been detected (default value: "12")
Example:
passivator -etcdAddress="http://172.17.42.1:4001" \
-serviceDir="/services" \
-cronDuration="5"
-passiveLimitDuration="12"
If you need to display Info logs this flag can be added:
-stderrthreshold=INFO
We are glad to welcome new developers on this initiative, and even simple usage feedback is great.
