# Sentinel Zuul Adapter Sentinel Zuul Adapter provides **route level** and **customized API level** flow control for Zuul API Gateway. > *Note*: this adapter only support Zuul 1.x. ## How to use 1. Add Maven dependency to your `pom.xml`: ```xml com.alibaba.csp sentinel-zuul-adapter x.y.z ``` 2. Register filters For Spring Cloud Zuul users, we only need to inject the three filters in Spring configuration class like this: ```java @Configuration public class ZuulConfig { @Bean public ZuulFilter sentinelZuulPreFilter() { // We can provider the filter order here. return new SentinelZuulPreFilter(10000); } @Bean public ZuulFilter sentinelZuulPostFilter() { return new SentinelZuulPostFilter(1000); } @Bean public ZuulFilter sentinelZuulErrorFilter() { return new SentinelZuulErrorFilter(-1); } } ``` For original Zuul users: ```java // Get filter registry final FilterRegistry r = FilterRegistry.instance(); // We need to register all three filters. SentinelZuulPreFilter sentinelPreFilter = new SentinelZuulPreFilter(); r.put("sentinelZuulPreFilter", sentinelPreFilter); SentinelZuulPostFilter postFilter = new SentinelZuulPostFilter(); r.put("sentinelZuulPostFilter", postFilter); SentinelZuulErrorFilter errorFilter = new SentinelZuulErrorFilter(); r.put("sentinelZuulErrorFilter", errorFilter); ``` ## How it works As Zuul run as per thread per connection block model, we add filters around route filter to trace Sentinel statistics. - `SentinelZuulPreFilter`: This pre-filter will regard all proxy ID (`proxy` in `RequestContext`) and all customized API as resources. When a `BlockException` caught, the filter will try to find a fallback to execute. - `SentinelZuulPostFilter`: When the response has no exception caught, the post filter will complete the entries. - `SentinelZuulErrorFilter`: When an exception is caught, the filter will trace the exception and complete the entries. sentinel zuul The order of filters can be changed via the constructor. The invocation chain resembles this: ```bash -EntranceNode: sentinel_gateway_context$$route$$another-route-b(t:0 pq:0.0 bq:0.0 tq:0.0 rt:0.0 prq:0.0 1mp:8 1mb:1 1mt:9) --another-route-b(t:0 pq:0.0 bq:0.0 tq:0.0 rt:0.0 prq:0.0 1mp:4 1mb:1 1mt:5) --another_customized_api(t:0 pq:0.0 bq:0.0 tq:0.0 rt:0.0 prq:0.0 1mp:4 1mb:0 1mt:4) -EntranceNode: sentinel_gateway_context$$route$$my-route-1(t:0 pq:0.0 bq:0.0 tq:0.0 rt:0.0 prq:0.0 1mp:6 1mb:0 1mt:6) --my-route-1(t:0 pq:0.0 bq:0.0 tq:0.0 rt:0.0 prq:0.0 1mp:2 1mb:0 1mt:2) --some_customized_api(t:0 pq:0.0 bq:0.0 tq:0.0 rt:0.0 prq:0.0 1mp:2 1mb:0 1mt:2) ``` ## Integration with Sentinel Dashboard 1. Start [Sentinel Dashboard](https://github.com/alibaba/Sentinel/wiki/Dashboard). 2. You can configure the rules in Sentinel dashboard or via dynamic rule configuration. ## Fallbacks You can implement `SentinelFallbackProvider` to define your own fallback provider when Sentinel `BlockException` is thrown. The default fallback provider is `DefaultBlockFallbackProvider`. By default fallback route is proxy ID (or customized API name). Here is an example: ```java // custom provider public class MyBlockFallbackProvider implements ZuulBlockFallbackProvider { private Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(DefaultBlockFallbackProvider.class); // you can define root as service level @Override public String getRoute() { return "my-route"; } @Override public BlockResponse fallbackResponse(String route, Throwable cause) { RecordLog.info(String.format("[Sentinel DefaultBlockFallbackProvider] Run fallback route: %s", route)); if (cause instanceof BlockException) { return new BlockResponse(429, "Sentinel block exception", route); } else { return new BlockResponse(500, "System Error", route); } } } // register fallback ZuulBlockFallbackManager.registerProvider(new MyBlockFallbackProvider()); ``` Default block response: ```json { "code":429, "message":"Sentinel block exception", "route":"/" } ``` ## Request origin parser You can register customized request origin parser like this: ```java public class MyRequestOriginParser implements RequestOriginParser { @Override public String parseOrigin(HttpServletRequest request) { return request.getRemoteAddr(); } } ```
