Proto: fault_injection_policy.proto

Package: resilience.policy.gloo.solo.io

Test the resilience of your apps by injecting delays and connection failures. Inject faults in a percentage of your requests to test how your app handles the errors. By using the policy, you can avoid deleting pods, delaying packets, or corrupting packets. Fault specification is part of a VirtualService rule.

Faults include aborts and/or delays.

  • Aborts are crash failures, such as HTTP error codes or TCP connection failures.
  • Delays are timing failures, such as network latency or overloaded upstreams.

Fault injection policies are applied at the Route level. For more information, see the fault injection policy guide.

Examples

Abort: The following example is for a simple fault injection abort policy with a default value for the percentage. No delay is configured.

  apiVersion: resilience.policy.gloo.solo.io/v2
kind: FaultInjectionPolicy
metadata:
  annotations:
    cluster.solo.io/cluster: ""
  name: faultinjection-basic
  namespace: bookinfo
spec:
  applyToRoutes:
  - route:
      labels:
        route: ratings
  config:
    abort:
      httpStatus: 418

Delay: The following example is for a simple fault injection delay policy with a default value for the percentage. No abort is configured.

  apiVersion: resilience.policy.gloo.solo.io/v2
kind: FaultInjectionPolicy
metadata:
  name: faultinjection-basic-delay
  namespace: bookinfo
  annotations:
    cluster.solo.io/cluster: $REMOTE_CLUSTER1
spec:
  applyToRoutes:
    - route:
        labels:
          route: ratings
  config:
    delay:
      fixedDelay: 5s

Abort and delay: The following example is for a fault injection policy that both delays and aborts requests. Delays and aborts are independent of one another. When both are set, both happen, with the delay happening first.

  apiVersion: resilience.policy.gloo.solo.io/v2
kind: FaultInjectionPolicy
metadata:
  name: faultinjection-basic-abort-and-delay
  namespace: bookinfo
  annotations:
    cluster.solo.io/cluster: $REMOTE_CLUSTER1
spec:
  applyToRoutes:
    - route:
        labels:
          route: ratings
  config:
    abort:
      httpStatus: 418
      percentage: 10
    delay:
      percentage: 40
      fixedDelay: 5s

FaultInjectionPolicyReport

The resources that the policy selects after it is successfully applied.

FieldDescription
workspaces(repeated FaultInjectionPolicyReport.WorkspacesEntry)

The state of the resource in each workspace that receives its configuration.
selectedRoutes(repeated common.gloo.solo.io.RouteReference)

A list of references to all routes selected by the policy.

FaultInjectionPolicyReport.WorkspacesEntry

FieldDescription
key(string)

value(common.gloo.solo.io.Report)

FaultInjectionPolicySpec

Specifications for the policy.

FieldDescription
applyToRoutes(repeated common.gloo.solo.io.RouteSelector)

Routes to apply the policy to. If empty, the policy applies to all routes in the workspace.

Configuration constraints: Only one fault injection policy can apply to a route. Subsequent policies (sorted by creation time) are ignored and put into a FAILED state.
config(FaultInjectionPolicySpec.Config)

The details of the fault injection policy to apply to the selected routes.

Implementation notes: Delays and aborts are independent of one another. When both are set, both happen, with the delay happening first.

Configuration constraints: A fault injection rule must specify a delay, an abort, or both.

FaultInjectionPolicySpec.Config

The details of the fault injection policy to apply to the selected routes.


Implementation notes: Delays and aborts are independent of one another. When both are set, both happen, with the delay happening first.


Configuration constraints: A fault injection rule must specify a delay, an abort, or both.

FieldDescription
delay(FaultInjectionPolicySpec.Config.Delay)

Delay requests before forwarding them to the upstream service, which emulates various failures such as network issues or overloaded upstream services.
abort(FaultInjectionPolicySpec.Config.Abort)

Abort HTTP request attempts, and return an error code to the traffic source.

FaultInjectionPolicySpec.Config.Abort

Abort HTTP request attempts and return an error code to the traffic source, giving the impression that the upstream service is faulty.

FieldDescription
httpStatus(int32)

Required: The HTTP status code to use to abort the request.

Configuration constraints: The status code must be in the range 200 - 599, inclusive.
percentage(google.protobuf.DoubleValue)

Percentage of requests to be aborted. If omitted, all requests are aborted.

Configuration constraints:

FaultInjectionPolicySpec.Config.Delay

Delay requests before forwarding them to the upstream service, which emulates various failures such as network issues or overloaded upstream services.

FieldDescription
fixedDelay(google.protobuf.Duration)

Required: Add a delay of a fixed duration before sending the request.

Configuration constraints:
  • The value must be an integer or decimal value and a preferred unit, or multiple of these concatenated. Examples: 1m, 1h, 1.5h, 1s500ms
  • The value cannot have granularity smaller than one millisecond.
  • The value must be at least 1ms.
  • For information about the value format, see the ParseDuration documentation.
percentage(google.protobuf.DoubleValue)

Delay only a certain percentage of requests. If omitted, all requests are delayed.

Configuration constraints:

FaultInjectionPolicyStatus

The status of the policy after it is applied to your Gloo environment.

FieldDescription
common(common.gloo.solo.io.Status)

The common status of the object
numSelectedRoutes(uint32)

The number of routes selected by the policy.
