I would like to use Ocelot API Gateway to connect services, but if the primary host is unavailable it needs to redirect to secondary host.
For example in below configuration i have two ports one is 5023 and 5102, So when 5023 is unavailable i want it to redirect to 5102.
Please help, Thanks in advance.
configuration.json
{
"Routes": [
{
"DownstreamPathTemplate": "/GetProductDetails",
"DownstreamScheme": "http",
"DownstreamHostAndPorts": [
{
"Host": "localhost",
"Port": 5023
},
{
"Host": "localhost",
"Port": 5102
}
],
"UpstreamPathTemplate": "/",
"LoadBalancerOptions": {
"Type": "RoundRobin"
},
"UpstreamHttpMethod": [ "GET" ]
}
]
}
Program.cs
using Ocelot.DependencyInjection;
using Ocelot.Middleware;
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Configuration.AddJsonFile(
"configuration.json",optional:false,reloadOnChange:true);
builder.Services.AddOcelot(builder.Configuration);
var app = builder.Build();
app.MapControllers();
var ocelotConf = new OcelotPipelineConfiguration()
{
PreErrorResponderMiddleware = async (context, next) =>
{
if (context.Response != null)
{
}
await next.Invoke();
}
};
await app.UseOcelot(ocelotConf);
app.Run();
Either can we write custom load balancer?
Finally after thinking so much i have understood that from request pipeline we can process to next invoke if the current host is not active.
Code is below.
var ocelotConf = new OcelotPipelineConfiguration()
{
PreErrorResponderMiddleware = async (context, next) =>
{
// Initial invoke
await next.Invoke();
if (context.Response != null)
{
// Checking if the initial invoke is throwing 502
//(Means service is down)
if(context.Response.StatusCode == 502)
{
// If service is down forwarding to next host
await next.Invoke();
}
}
}
};
await app.UseOcelot(ocelotConf);
