DESCRIPTION

Net::MCMP is an implementation of the Mod Cluster Management Protocol (MCMP). Net::MCMP uses LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request for its communication with mod_cluster. It provides a subset of the commands listed in the MCMP documentation, which can be found at https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-11425.

MCMP stands for Mod Cluster Management Protocol and is a method of adding mod_proxy settings dynamically, as appose to creating static apache rules.

Official documentation of MCMP can be found here: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/Mod-ClusterManagementProtocol

USAGE

Net::MCMP->new(\%args)

Creates a new MCMP object, and returns a Net::MCMP object representing that connection.

        my $mcmp = Net::MCMP({ uri => 'http://127.0.0.1:6666', debug => 0});

%args can contain:

• uri (required)

  The URI of a mod_cluster handler.

• debug (optional)

  If set to a true value, debugging messages will be printed out for every request and respons to mod_cluster.

$mcmp->config(\%conig)

Sends configuration for a node or set of nodes

If a low-level protocol error or unexpected local error occurs, we die with an error message.

        $mcmp->config({
                JvmRoute            => "MyAppNode1",
                Balancer            => 'MyApp',
                Domain              => 'MyApp',
                StickySessionCookie => 'myapp_session',

                Port                => '3000',
                Type                => 'http',
                Context             => '/myapp',

        });

  Time to wait for a pong answer to a ping. 0 means we don't try to ping before sending. Value in secondes (Defaults to 10)

• Smax (optional)

  soft max inactive connection over that limit after ttl are closed. Default depends on the mpm configuration
