Add StateDisabled for operator-initiated disable, keeping StateRemoved for backends that disappear during a config reload. Previously both used StateRemoved, which was confusing: "removed" implies the backend no longer exists in config, but a disabled backend is still present and can be re-enabled on the fly. - health: add StateDisabled with String() "disabled", Disable() method with probe code "disabled". Record() rejects probes in all three inactive states (paused, disabled, removed). - checker: DisableBackend calls backend.Disable() instead of Remove(). - docs: healthchecks.md rewritten for pause (goroutine cancelled, not just results discarded), and separate disabled/removed state rows. user-guide.md updated to match. - Makefile: add fixstyle target (gofmt -w .).
maglevd
Health checker and gRPC control plane for VPP Maglev load balancing.
Build and Install
make # builds build/<arch>/maglevd and build/<arch>/maglevc
make test # runs all tests
make pkg-deb # Creates a debian package for arm64 and amd64
Requires Go 1.25+ and (for make proto) protoc with protoc-gen-go and
protoc-gen-go-grpc.
Produces vpp-maglev_<version>_amd64.deb and vpp-maglev_<version>_arm64.deb
in the build/ directory by cross-compiling with GOOS=linux GOARCH=<arch>.
Requires dpkg-deb (available on any Debian/Ubuntu host).
Running
After installing, the unit is enabled but not started automatically:
# edit /etc/vpp-maglev/maglev.yaml, then:
systemctl enable --now vpp-maglevd
Or run the server and client by hand:
maglevd --config /etc/vpp-maglev/maglev.yaml --grpc-addr :9090
maglevd --version # print version and exit
maglevc --server localhost:9090 # interactive shell
maglevc show frontends # one-shot
maglevc -color=false show backends # one-shot, no ANSI color
maglevc set backend nginx0-ams pause
Send SIGHUP to maglevd to reload config without restarting.
maglevd requires CAP_NET_RAW for ICMP health checks.
Check out a minimal configuration file in [debian/maglev.yaml].
See docs/user-guide.md for flags, signals, and maglevc usage.
See docs/config-guide.md for the full configuration reference.
See docs/healthchecks.md for health state machine details.
Docker
docker build -t maglevd .
docker run --cap-add NET_RAW -v /etc/vpp-maglev:/etc/vpp-maglev maglevd
