rlp_05

Golang RELP library, allows the use of the RELP protocol in Golang.

Tested with Go v1.19.

Basic usage

Initializes an unencrypted RELP connection, and verifies each batch.

func main() {
    relpSess := RelpConnection{RelpDialer: &RelpPlainDialer{}}
    // OR: use RelpTLSDialer as the RelpDialer, and configure...
    relpSess.Init()
    // ...using relpSess.tlsConfig = &tls.Config{}
    batch := RelpBatch{}
    batch.Init()
    batch.PutRequest(&RelpFrameTX{
        RelpFrame{
            cmd:        "syslog",
            dataLength: len([]byte("HelloWorld")),
            data:       []byte("HelloWorld"),
        },
    })

    retry(&relpSess)

    notDone := true
    for notDone {
        commitErr := relpSess.Commit(&batch)
        if commitErr != nil {
            log.Printf("Error committing batch: '%v'\n", commitErr.Error())
        }

        if !batch.VerifyTransactionAll() {
            batch.RetryAllFailed()
            retry(&relpSess)
        } else {
            notDone = false
        }
    }

    relpSess.Disconnect()

    fmt.Println(">>DONE<<")
    // await for input, so the program doesn't exit
    a := 0.0
    fmt.Scanf("%f", &a)
}

func retry(relpSess *RelpConnection) {
    relpSess.TearDown()
    var cSuccess bool
    var cErr error
    cSuccess, cErr = relpSess.Connect("127.0.0.1", 1601)
    for !cSuccess || cErr != nil {
        relpSess.TearDown()
        time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
        cSuccess, cErr = relpSess.Connect("127.0.0.1", 1601)
    }
}

Interface

Method or field	Information
RelpConnection.Connect(hostname, port)	Initializes a TCP connection to the provided hostname:port address.
RelpConnection.RelpDialer	Specifies whether to use RelpPlainDialer or RelpTLSDialer. Configure the TLS dialer with RelpConnection.tlsConfig (after RelpConnection.Init() call as the init call uses a blank config)
RelpConnection.ackTimeoutDuration	Duration, which the connection waits for a new ACK. Timeout will return error to RelpConnection.Commit() call. Default is 30 seconds.
RelpConnection.writeTimeoutDuration	Duration, which the connection waits for a new write. Timeout will return error to RelpConnection.Commit() call. Default is 30 seconds.
RelpConnection.Commit(batch)	Sends the RelpBatch given as the argument to the established RELP connection.
RelpConnection.Disconnect()	Gracefully disconnects from the server.
RelpConnection.TearDown()	Forcefully disconnects from the server.
RelpBatch.PutRequest(RelpFrameTX)	Inserts a relp frame to the batch
RelpBatch.VerifyTransactionAll()	Verifies that all transactions got acknowledged by the server. Returns boolean.
RelpBatch.RetryAllFailed()	Adds all transactions back to the working queue. Restart the connection with tearDown+connect to try again.
