dp-frontend-filter-dataset-controller

An HTTP service for the controlling of data relevant to the filtering of a particular dataset.

Configuration

Environment variable	Default	Description
API_ROUTER_URL	http://localhost:23200/v1	The URL of the API Router
BATCH_MAX_WORKERS	100	maximum number of concurrent go-routines requesting items concurrently from APIs with pagination
BATCH_SIZE_LIMIT	1000	maximum limit value to get items from APIs in a single call
BIND_ADDR	http://localhost:20001	The host and port to bind to.
DEBUG	false	Enable local debugging
DOWNLOAD_SERVICE_URL	http://localhost:23600	The URL of the download service
ENABLE_DATASET_PREVIEW	false	Flag to add preview of dataset to output page
ENABLE_PROFILER	false	Flag to enable go profiler
FEEDBACK_API_URL	http://localhost:23200/v1/feedback	The public `dp-api-router` address for feedback, not the internal one
GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT	5s	The graceful shutdown timeout in seconds
HEALTHCHECK_CRITICAL_TIMEOUT	90s	The time taken for the health changes from warning state to critical due to subsystem check failures
HEALTHCHECK_INTERVAL	30s	The time between calling healthcheck endpoints for check subsystems
MAX_DATASET_OPTIONS	200	maximum number of IDs that will be requested to dataset API in a single call as query parmeters
PATTERN_LIBRARY_ASSETS_PATH	""	Pattern library location
PPROF_TOKEN	""	The profiling token to access service profiling
SEARCH_API_AUTH_TOKEN	n/a	The token used to access the Search API
SITE_DOMAIN	string	Domain taken from environment configs
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT	localhost:4317	Endpoint for OpenTelemetry service
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME	dp-frontend-filter-dataset-controller	Label of service for OpenTelemetry service
OTEL_BATCH_TIMEOUT	5s	Timeout for OpenTelemetry

HEALTHCHECK_INTERVAL and HEALTHCHECK_CRITICAL_TIMEOUT can use the following formats to represent duration of time:

"300ms" = 300 milliseconds
"1.5h" =  1.5 hours
"2h45m" = 2 hours 45 minutes

Valid time units are
"ns" = nanosecond
"us" (or "µs") = microsecond
"ms" = millisecond
"s" = second
"m" = minute
"h" = hour

Profiling

An optional /debug endpoint has been added, in order to profile this service via pprof go library. In order to use this endpoint, you will need to enable profiler flag and set a PPROF_TOKEN:

export ENABLE_PROFILER=true
export PPROF_TOKEN={generated uuid}

Then you can us the profiler as follows:

1- Start service, load test or if on environment wait for a number of requests to be made.

2- Send authenticated request and store response in a file (this can be best done in command line like so: curl <host>:<port>/debug/pprof/heap -H "Authorization: Bearer {generated uuid} > heap.out - see pprof documentation on other endpoints

3- View profile either using a web ui to navigate data (a) or using pprof on command line to navigate data (b)

a = go tool pprof -http=:8080 heap.out
b = go tool pprof heap.out, -o flag to see various options
