`http_source` is a source plugin that supports HTTP. Currently, `http_source` only supports the JSON UTF-8 codec for incoming requests, such as `[{"key1": "value1"}, {"key2": "value2"}]`. The following table describes options you can use to configure the `http_source` source.
port | No | Integer | The port that the source is running on. Default value is `2021`. Valid options are between `0` and `65535`.
health_check_service | No | Boolean | Enables the health check service on the `/health` endpoint on the defined port. Default value is `false`.
unauthenticated_health_check | No | Boolean | Determines whether or not authentication is required on the health check endpoint. Data Prepper ignores this option if no authentication is defined. Default value is `false`.
request_timeout | No | Integer | The request timeout, in milliseconds. Default value is `10000`.
thread_count | No | Integer | The number of threads to keep in the ScheduledThreadPool. Default value is `200`.
max_connection_count | No | Integer | The maximum allowed number of open connections. Default value is `500`.
max_pending_requests | No | Integer | The maximum allowed number of tasks in the `ScheduledThreadPool` work queue. Default value is `1024`.
authentication | No | Object | An authentication configuration. By default, this creates an unauthenticated server for the pipeline. This uses pluggable authentication for HTTPS. To use basic authentication define the `http_basic` plugin with a `username` and `password`. To provide customer authentication, use or create a plugin that implements [ArmeriaHttpAuthenticationProvider](https://github.com/opensearch-project/data-prepper/blob/main/data-prepper-plugins/armeria-common/src/main/java/com/amazon/dataprepper/armeria/authentication/ArmeriaHttpAuthenticationProvider.java).
ssl | No | Boolean | Enables TLS/SSL. Default value is false.
ssl_certificate_file | Conditionally | String | SSL certificate chain file path or Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) path. Amazon S3 path example `s3://<bucketName>/<path>`. Required if `ssl` is set to true and `use_acm_certificate_for_ssl` is set to false.
ssl_key_file | Conditionally | String | SSL key file path or Amazon S3 path. Amazon S3 path example `s3://<bucketName>/<path>`. Required if `ssl` is set to true and `use_acm_certificate_for_ssl` is set to false.
use_acm_certificate_for_ssl | No | Boolean | Enables a TLS/SSL using certificate and private key from AWS Certificate Manager (ACM). Default value is false.
acm_certificate_arn | Conditionally | String | The ACM certificate Amazon Resource Name (ARN). The ACM certificate takes preference over Amazon S3 or a local file system certificate. Required if `use_acm_certificate_for_ssl` is set to true.
acm_private_key_password | No | String | ACM private key password that decrypts the private key. If not provided, Data Prepper generates a random password.
acm_certificate_timeout_millis | No | Integer | Timeout, in milliseconds, that ACM takes to get certificates. Default value is 120000.
aws_region | Conditionally | String | AWS region used by ACM or Amazon S3. Required if `use_acm_certificate_for_ssl` is set to true or `ssl_certificate_file` and `ssl_key_file` is the Amazon S3 path.
The `http_source` source includes the following metrics.
### Counters
-`requestsReceived`: Measures the total number of requests received by the `/log/ingest` endpoint.
-`requestsRejected`: Measures the total number of requests rejected (429 response status code) by the HTTP Source plugin.
-`successRequests`: Measures the total number of requests successfully processed (200 response status code) the by HTTP Source plugin.
-`badRequests`: Measures the total number of requests with either an invalid content type or format processed by the HTTP Source plugin (400 response status code).
-`requestTimeouts`: Measures the total number of requests that time out in the HTTP source server (415 response status code).
-`requestsTooLarge`: Measures the total number of requests where the size of the event is larger than the buffer capacity (413 response status code).
-`internalServerError`: Measures the total number of requests processed by the HTTP Source with a custom exception type (500 response status code).
### Timers
-`requestProcessDuration`: Measures the latency of requests processed by the HTTP Source plugin in seconds.
### Distribution summaries
-`payloadSize`: Measures the incoming request payload size in bytes.
