Registry

The announce_server CLI provides a simple way to start a registry server. The registry server keeps track of available services and periodically sends heartbeat messages to ensure that registered services are still active.

Command

announce_server start_registry [--address ADDRESS] [--port PORT] [--heartbeat_interval INTERVAL] [--heartbeat_timeout TIMEOUT]

Arguments

• --address ADDRESS: The IP address of the server. Default: 0.0.0.0.
• --port PORT: The port number of the server. Default: 4999.
• --heartbeat_interval INTERVAL: The interval between heartbeat messages in seconds. Default: 5.
• --heartbeat_timeout TIMEOUT: The timeout for waiting for a response in seconds. Default: 3.

Example

To start the registry server with the default configuration, run:

announce_server start_registry

The full syntax is equivalent to:

announce_server start_registry --address 0.0.0.0 --port 4999 --heartbeat_interval 5 --heartbeat_timeout 3
