gRPC / proto - Rename WatchBackendEvents → WatchEvents; return a stream of Event oneof (LogEvent, BackendEvent, FrontendEvent) with optional filter flags (log, log_level, backend, frontend) - Add EnableBackend, DisableBackend, SetFrontendPoolBackendWeight RPCs - Rename PauseResumeRequest → BackendRequest - Add CheckConfig RPC returning ok/parse_error/semantic_error maglevd - Route slog through a LogBroadcaster (slog.Handler) so WatchEvents subscribers can receive structured log records independently of the daemon's own --log-level - Add --reflection flag (default true) to toggle gRPC server reflection - Add --check flag: validates config file and exits 0/1/2 - SIGHUP: use config.Check before applying reload; log parse vs semantic error separately; refuse reload on any error - Rename default config path /etc/maglev → /etc/vpp-maglev maglevc - Add 'watch events [num <n>] [log [level <level>]] [backend] [frontend]' command; prints compact protojson, stops on any keypress or Ctrl-C; uses cbreak mode (not raw) so output post-processing is preserved - Add 'set backend <name> enable|disable' - Add 'set frontend <name> pool <pool> backend <name> weight <0-100>' - Add 'config check' command Debian packaging - Rename service unit to vpp-maglevd.service - Rename conffiles to /etc/default/vpp-maglev and /etc/vpp-maglev/ - Create maglevd system user/group in postinst; add to vpp group if present - Add postrm; add adduser to Depends

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
