Fabio Health Check

[cookandy]

The Consul service check for Fabio is using port 9998 instead of port 81 and shows it as failing. Can this be configured?

[cookandy]

I also don't see my services being registered in Fabio. I left the Marathon deployment script the same as with HAProxy and only updated

START_CONSUL_TEMPLATE=false
START_FABIO=true

Does the Marathon script need to be updated?

regarding port:
we used default one, but you can use ENV variable to set a different one:

ui_addr = :9998

just add that one to restricted/env
you can modify ANY of FABIO parameter by ENV variable just use _ instead of .
for all properties in example file:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eBay/fabio/master/fabio.properties

regarding registering into fabio:
you have to use a specific TAG
see an example:

Thanks @sielaq. If I'm understanding you correctly, I could also just export:

registry_consul_register_ip = :81

Correct?

I will update the TAG to reflect Fabio configuration - thanks.

[sielaq]

correct

[cookandy]

I added registry_consul_register_ip = :81 to restricted/env, however, the health check is still registering on 9998.

I suggest we add registry.consul.register.ip = :81 to fabio.properties

[sielaq]

sorry for my nonchalance :) there NOT supposed to be any space - those are ENV variables

ui_addr=:81
registry_consul_register_ip=:81

[sielaq]

Let me try , probably sth else is missing

[sielaq]

Looks like a bug in fabio I will open issue for it

[cookandy]

Thanks @sielaq. I'll keep an eye out..

[sielaq]

this is documentation issue
please use registry_consul_register_addr=:81 instead

so try:

ui_addr=:81
registry_consul_register_addr=:81

[cookandy]

Ah, yes, that was it - thanks! I suggest we add registry.consul.register.addr=:81 to fabio.properties
