12. Http timeouts configuration
Http timeouts (response and connect) can be configured for all routes and overridden for each specific route.
12.1. Global timeouts
To configure Global http timeouts:
connect-timeout
must be specified in milliseconds.
response-timeout
must be specified as a java.time.Duration
spring:
cloud:
gateway:
httpclient:
connect-timeout: 1000
response-timeout: 5s
12.2. Per-route timeouts
To configure per-route timeouts:
connect-timeout
must be specified in milliseconds.
response-timeout
must be specified in milliseconds.
- id: per_route_timeouts
uri: https://example.org
predicates:
- name: Path
args:
pattern: /delay/{timeout}
metadata:
response-timeout: 200
connect-timeout: 200
import static org.springframework.cloud.gateway.support.RouteMetadataUtils.CONNECT_TIMEOUT_ATTR;
import static org.springframework.cloud.gateway.support.RouteMetadataUtils.RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_ATTR;
@Bean
public RouteLocator customRouteLocator(RouteLocatorBuilder routeBuilder){
return routeBuilder.routes()
.route("test1", r -> {
return r.host("*.somehost.org").and().path("/somepath")
.filters(f -> f.addRequestHeader("header1", "header-value-1"))
.uri("http://someuri")
.metadata(RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_ATTR, 200)
.metadata(CONNECT_TIMEOUT_ATTR, 200);
})
.build();
}
12.3. Fluent Java Routes API
To allow for simple configuration in Java, the RouteLocatorBuilder
bean includes a fluent API.
The following listing shows how it works:
// static imports from GatewayFilters and RoutePredicates
@Bean
public RouteLocator customRouteLocator(RouteLocatorBuilder builder, ThrottleGatewayFilterFactory throttle) {
return builder.routes()
.route(r -> r.host("**.abc.org").and().path("/image/png")
.filters(f ->
f.addResponseHeader("X-TestHeader", "foobar"))
.uri("http://httpbin.org:80")
)
.route(r -> r.path("/image/webp")
.filters(f ->
f.addResponseHeader("X-AnotherHeader", "baz"))
.uri("http://httpbin.org:80")
.metadata("key", "value")
)
.route(r -> r.order(-1)
.host("**.throttle.org").and().path("/get")
.filters(f -> f.filter(throttle.apply(1,
1,
10,
TimeUnit.SECONDS)))
.uri("http://httpbin.org:80")
.metadata("key", "value")
)
.build();
}
This style also allows for more custom predicate assertions.
The predicates defined by RouteDefinitionLocator
beans are combined using logical and
.
By using the fluent Java API, you can use the and()
, or()
, and negate()
operators on the Predicate
class.
12.4. The DiscoveryClient
Route Definition Locator
You can configure the gateway to create routes based on services registered with a DiscoveryClient
compatible service registry.
To enable this, set spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.enabled=true
and make sure a DiscoveryClient
implementation (such as Netflix Eureka, Consul, or Zookeeper) is on the classpath and enabled.
12.4.1. Configuring Predicates and Filters For DiscoveryClient
Routes
By default, the gateway defines a single predicate and filter for routes created with a DiscoveryClient
.
The default predicate is a path predicate defined with the pattern /serviceId/**
, where serviceId
is
the ID of the service from the DiscoveryClient
.
The default filter is a rewrite path filter with the regex /serviceId/?(?<remaining>.*)
and the replacement /${remaining}
.
This strips the service ID from the path before the request is sent downstream.
If you want to customize the predicates or filters used by the DiscoveryClient
routes, set spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[x]
and spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[y]
.
When doing so, you need to make sure to include the default predicate and filter shown earlier, if you want to retain that functionality.
The following example shows what this looks like:
spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[0].name: Path spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[0].args[pattern]: "'/'+serviceId+'/**'" spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[1].name: Host spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[1].args[pattern]: "'**.foo.com'" spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[0].name: CircuitBreaker spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[0].args[name]: serviceId spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[1].name: RewritePath spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[1].args[regexp]: "'/' + serviceId + '/?(?<remaining>.*)'" spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[1].args[replacement]: "'/${remaining}'"
