A High Performance NATS Server written in Go.
gnatsd accepts command line arguments to control its behavior. An example configuration file is listed below. Note that command line arguments will override those items in the configuration file.
Server Options:
-a, --addr HOST Bind to HOST address (default: 0.0.0.0)
-p, --port PORT Use PORT for clients (default: 4222)
-P, --pid FILE File to store PID
-m, --http_port PORT Use HTTP PORT for monitoring
-c, --config FILE Configuration File
Logging Options:
-l, --log FILE File to redirect log output
-T, --logtime Timestamp log entries (default: true)
-s, --syslog Enable syslog as log method.
-r, --remote_syslog Syslog server addr (udp://localhost:514).
-D, --debug Enable debugging output
-V, --trace Trace the raw protocol
-DV Debug and Trace
Authorization Options:
--user user User required for connections
--pass password Password required for connections
Cluster Options:
--routes [rurl-1, rurl-2] Routes to solicit and connect
Common Options:
-h, --help Show this message
-v, --version Show version

If the monitoring port is enabled, the server will run a lightweight http server on that port that has several endpoints [/varz, /connz, /routez, /subscriptionsz]. All endpoints return a JSON object.
To test, run 'go run gnatsd.go -m 8222'
http://localhost:8222/varz reports various general statistics.

}http://localhost:8222/connz reports more detailed information on current connections. It uses a paging mechanism which defaults to 1024 connections. You can control these via url arguments (limit and offset), e.g. http://localhost:8222/connz?limit=1&offset=1. You can also report detailed subscription information on a per connection basis using subs=1, e.g. http://localhost:8222/connz?limit=1&offset=1&subs=1.

}http://localhost:8222/routez reports information on active routes for a cluster. Routes are expected to be low, so there is no paging mechanism currently with this endpoint. It does support the subs arg line /connz, e.g. http://localhost:8222/routez?subs=1

}Monitoring endpoints support JSONP for CORS so you can easily create single page
web applications for monitoring. Simply pass callback query parameter to any
endpoint. For example; http://localhost:8222/connz?callback=cb
// JQuery example
$.getJSON('http://localhost:8222/connz?callback=?', function(data) {
console.log(data);
});This code currently requires at least version 1.1 of Go, but we encourage the use of the latest stable release. We will be moving to requiring at least 1.4 in the near future. Go is still young and improving rapidly, new releases provide performance improvements and fixes. Information on installation, including pre-built binaries, is available at http://golang.org/doc/install. Stable branches of operating system packagers provided by your OS vendor may not be sufficient.
Run go version to see the version of Go which you have installed.
Run go build inside the directory to build.
Run go test ./... to run the unit regression tests.
A successful build run produces no messages and creates an executable called
gnatsd in this directory. You can invoke that binary, with no options and
no configuration file, to start a server with acceptable standalone defaults
(no authentication, no clustering).
Run go help for more guidance, and visit http://golang.org/ for tutorials,
presentations, references and more.
There are several client language bindings for NATS. For a complete and updated list, please visit https://nats.io.
