Reference for all Edge-LB pool configurations options in the V2 API

V2 Pool Reference

The tables below describe the possible configuration options. The majority of fields have sensible defaults - modify them with caution.

pool

The pool contains information on resources that the pool needs. Changes made to this section will relaunch the tasks.

Key Type Nullable Properties Description
apiVersion string The api/schema version of this pool object. Should be V2 for new pools.
name string The pool name.
namespace string true The DC/OS space (sometimes also referred to as a “group”).
packageName string
packageVersion string
role string Apache® Mesos® role for load balancers. Defaults to “slave_public” so that load balancers will be run on public agents. Use “*” to run load balancers on private agents. Read more about Mesos roles at http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/roles/.
cpus number
cpusAdminOverhead number
mem int32 Memory requirements (in MB).
memAdminOverhead int32 Memory requirements (in MB).
disk int32 Disk size (in MB).
count integer true Number of load balancer instances in the pool.
constraints string true Marathon™ style constraints for load balancer instance placement.
ports array
  • Override ports to allocate for each load balancer instance.
  • Defaults to {{haproxy.frontend.objs[].bindPort}} and {{haproxy.stats.bindPort}}.
  • Use this field to pre-allocate all needed ports with or without the frontends present. For example: [80, 443, 9090].
  • If the length of the ports array is not zero, only the ports specified will be allocated by the pool scheduler.
items int32
secrets array DC/OS secrets.
environmentVariables object additionalProperties Environment variables to pass to tasks. Prefix with ELB_FILE_ and it will be written to a file. For example, the contents of ELB_FILE_MYENV will be written to $ENVFILE/ELB_FILE_MYENV.
autoCertificate boolean Auto-generate a self-signed SSL/TLS certificate. The certificate is not generated by default, and will be written to $AUTOCERT.
virtualNetworks array Virtual networks to join.
haproxy
poolHealthcheckGracePeriod int32 Defines the period of time after start of the pool container when failed healtchecks will be ignored (default: 180s). Introduced in v1.2.3.
poolHealthcheckInterval int32 Defines healthcheck execution interval. At most one healtcheck is going to execute at any given time (default: 12s). Introduced in v1.2.3.
poolHealthcheckMaxFail int32 Defines how many consecutive failures mark the task as failed and force Mesos to kill it (default: 5). Introduced in v1.2.3.
poolhealthcheckTimeout int32 Defines the timeout enforced by Mesos on the healthcheck execution. It includes the container startup (fetch, setup, start, etc…) as well as the time spent by the healthcheck command executing the test. Introduced in v1.2.3.
