chaosmonkey get endpoint

It is an endpoint that is enabled by default. It allows the user to retrieve the configurations for the Chaos Monkey assault handlers during the runtime.

The same config file chaos-monkey.yml is shared with the chaosmonkey post endpoint.

# Light Chaos Monkey API handlers Configuration.

# Enable the handlers if set to true to allow user to get or post configurations for the assault handlers.
enabled: true

Here is the path defined in the handler.yml

  - path: '/chaosmonkey'
    method: 'get'
    exec:
      - security
      - chaosget

The following command from the terminal can be used to access the API.

curl -k https://localhost:8443/chaosmonkey

The result should be something like this.

{"com.networknt.chaos.LatencyAssaultHandler":{"enabled":true,"bypass":true,"level":1,"latencyRangeStart":1000,"latencyRangeEnd":60000},"com.networknt.chaos.ExceptionAssaultHandler":{"enabled":true,"bypass":true,"level":5},"com.networknt.chaos.KillappAssaultHandler":{"enabled":true,"bypass":true,"level":5},"com.networknt.chaos.MemoryAssaultHandler":{"enabled":true,"bypass":true,"level":5,"memoryMillisecondsHoldFilledMemory":90000,"memoryMillisecondsWaitNextIncrease":1000,"memoryFillIncrementFraction":0.15,"memoryFillTargetFraction":0.25}}
