th2 check1 (4.6.1)

Overview

The component is responsible for verifying decoded messages.

Communication with the script takes place via grpc, messages are received via rabbit mq.

The component subscribes to the queues specified in the configuration and accumulates messages from them in a FIFO buffer.

The buffer size is configurable, and it is set to 1000 by default.

When the component starts, the grpc server also starts and then the component waits for incoming grpc requests for verification.

Verification requests

Available requests are described in this repository

  • CheckSequenceRuleRequest - prefilters the messages and verify all of them by filter. Order checking configured from request. Depending on the request and check1 configuration SilenceCheckRule can be added after the CheckSequenceRule. It verifies that there were not any messages matching the pre-filter in the original request. It awaits for realtime timeout that is equal to clean-up timeout. Reports about unexpected messages only after the timeout is exceeded. Reports nothing if any task is added to the chain.
  • CheckRuleRequest - get message filter from request and check it with messages in the cache or await specified time in case of empty cache or message absence.
  • NoMessageCheckRequest - prefilters messages and verifies that no other messages have been received.
  • WaitForResult - synchronous request waiting for the result of specified rule during specified timeout

Request parameters

Common

Required

  • parent_event_id - all events generated by the rule will be attached to that event
  • connectivity_id (the session_alias inside connectivity_id must not be empty)

Optional

  • direction - the direction of messages to be checked by rule. By default, it is FIRST
  • chain_id - the id to connect rules (rule starts checking after the previous one in the chain). Considers * connectivity_id*
  • description - the description that will be added to the root event produced by the rule
  • timeout - defines the allowed timeout for messages matching by real time. If not set the default value from check1 settings will be taken
  • store_result - true indicates that the rule result should be stored for later request using WaitForResult method
  • message_timeout - defines the allowed timeout for messages matching by the time they were received
  • checkpoint (must be set if message_timeout is used and no valid chain_id has been provided)

CheckRuleRequest

Required

  • root_filter or filter (please note, that the filter parameter is deprecated and will be removed in the future releases)

CheckSequenceRuleRequest

Required

  • root_message_filters or message_filters with at least one filter (please note, that the message_filters parameter is deprecated and will be removed in the future releases)

Optional

  • pre_filter - pre-filtering for messages. Only messages that passed the filter will be checked by the main filters.
  • check_order - enables order validation in message's collections
  • silence_check - enables auto-check for messages that match the pre_filter after the rule has finished

NoMessageCheckRequest

Optional

  • pre_filter pre-filtering for messages that should not be received.

WaitForResult

Required

  • rule_id - the id of rule
  • timeout - timeout for waiting for result

SubmitMultipleRules

Required

  • rules - list of rules to submit

Optional

  • default_parent_event_id - default value for parent_event_id of submitted rules.
  • default_chain - default value for parent_event_id of submitted rules.

PostMultipleRules

the same as SubmitMultipleRules but returns immediately with Empty response

This block describes the configuration for check1.

Configuration example

{
  "message-cache-size": 1000,
  "cleanup-older-than": 60,
  "cleanup-time-unit": "SECONDS",
  "max-event-batch-content-size": "1048576",

}

Properties description

message-cache-size

The number of messages for each stream (alias + direction) that will be buffered.

cleanup-older-than

The time before the verification chain (from a task that is complete) will be removed. The value will be interpreted as time unit defined in cleanup-time-unit setting. The default value is set to 60

cleanup-time-unit

The time unit for cleanup-older-than setting. The available values are MILLIS, SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS. The default value is set to SECONDS

min-cleanup-interval-ms

Minimum interval between cleanups in milliseconds. Default value is 1000 milliseconds.

max-event-batch-content-size

The max size in bytes of summary events content in a batch defined in max-event-batch-content-size setting. The default value is set to 1048576

rule-execution-timeout

The default rule execution timeout is used if no rule timeout is specified. Measured in milliseconds

auto-silence-check-after-sequence-rule

Defines a default behavior for creating CheckSequenceRule if silence_check parameter is not specified in the request. The default value is false

time-precision

The time precision is used to compare two time values. It is based on the ISO-8601 duration format PnDTnHnMn.nS with days considered to be exactly 24 hours. Additional information can be found here

decimal-precision

The decimal precision is used to compare the value of two numbers. Can be specified in number or string format. For example 0.0001, 0.125, 125E-3

check-null-value-as-empty

check-null-value-as-empty is used for EMPTY and NOT_EMPTY operations to check if NULL_VALUE value is empty. By default, this parameter is set to false. For example, if the checkNullValueAsEmpty parameter is:

  • true, then NULL_VALUE is equal to EMPTY, otherwise NULL_VALUE is equal to NOT_EMPTY

enable-checkpoint-events-publication

Enables event publication for each stream that was added into checkpoint. Otherwise, only top events with attached messages will be published. Enabled by default.

rules-execution-threads

Configures number of threads for rules execution. This option can help to increase performance when you are going to calculate heavy rules, and you haven't got strict CPU limitation, otherwise use 1 thread for rule execution. The default value is 1

Required pins

The Check1 component has two types of pin:

  • gRPC server pin: it allows other components to connect via com.exactpro.th2.check1.grpc.Check1Service class.
  • MQ pins: they are used for listening to protobuf and th2 transport parsed messages. You can link several sources with different directions and session aliases to it.
apiVersion: th2.exactpro.com/v1
kind: Th2Box
metadata:
  name: check1
spec:
  pins:
    - name: server
      connection-type: grpc
    - name: from_codec_proto
      connection-type: mq
      attributes:
        - 'subscribe'
        - 'parsed'
    - name: from_codec_transport
      connection-type: mq
      attributes:
        - 'subscribe'
        - 'transport-group'

Prometheus metrics

The Check1 component publishes Prometheus metrics to observe the actual state of it

  • th2_check1_actual_cache_number - actual number of messages in caches
  • th2_check1_active_tasks_number - actual number of currently working rules

The th2_check1_actual_cache_number metric separate messages with three labels:

  • book_name - book name of received message
  • session_alias - session alias of received message
  • direction - direction of received message

The th2_check1_active_tasks_number metric separate rules with label rule_type
