Is it possible to log retries attempts on client side with resilience4j please?
Maybe via some kind of configuration, or settings.
Currently, I am using resilience4j with Spring boot Webflux annotation based.
It is working great, the project is amazing.
While we put server logs on server side, to see that a same http call has been made due to a retry (we log time, client IP, request ID, etc...) Would I be possible to have client side logs?
I was expecting to see something like "Resilience4j - client side: 1st attempt failed because of someException, retying with attend number 2. 2nd attempt failed because of someException, retying with attend number 3. 3rd attempt successful!"
Something like that. Is there a property, some config, some setup, that can help to do this easily please? Without adding too much boiler code.
@RestController
public class TestController {
private final WebClient webClient;
public TestController(WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder) {
this.webClient = webClientBuilder.baseUrl("http://localhost:8443/serviceBgreeting").build();
}
@GetMapping("/greeting")
public Mono<String> greeting() {
System.out.println("Greeting method is invoked ");
return someRestCall();
}
@Retry(name = "greetingRetry")
public Mono<String> someRestCall() {
return this.webClient.get().retrieve().bodyToMono(String.class);
}
}
Thank you
Fortunately (or unfortunately) there is an undocumented feature :)
You can add a RegistryEventConsumer Bean in order to add event consumers to any Retry instance.
@Bean
public RegistryEventConsumer<Retry> myRetryRegistryEventConsumer() {
return new RegistryEventConsumer<Retry>() {
@Override
public void onEntryAddedEvent(EntryAddedEvent<Retry> entryAddedEvent) {
entryAddedEvent.getAddedEntry().getEventPublisher()
.onEvent(event -> LOG.info(event.toString()));
}
@Override
public void onEntryRemovedEvent(EntryRemovedEvent<Retry> entryRemoveEvent) {
}
@Override
public void onEntryReplacedEvent(EntryReplacedEvent<Retry> entryReplacedEvent) {
}
};
}
Log entry look as follows:
