Node.js app that polls a Cassandra database for the most recent utilization available about available TURN servers in the cluster and provides a web API for clients to query in order to get a list of available TURN servers sorted in order of least-utilized.

git node.js forever Cassandra

/opt/logs directory (writeable by the user account that will run the server process)

The installation instructions for these items is beyond the scope of this readme file.

cd /opt/
sudo git clone https://[email protected]/CommsOps/turn_api.git
cd /opt/turn_api
sudo npm install

Configuration files for are stored in the /config folder. Every logical data center location should have its own configuration file. If necessary, create a new configuration file with an appropriate environment or data center suffix. (for example, wbrn, stg, qa2)

Sample configuration:

module.exports = { 

  cassandra_config : {
    hosts : ['YOUR_CASSANDRA_HOST_IP'],
    keyspace : 'turn_stats_db'
  },
  
  max_server_count: 1

}

Explanation:

hosts: the IP address of the Cassandra host (in most cases, this is the localhost that's running the turn_api server)

keyspace: the Cassandra keyspace (database) name

max_server_count: number of TURN servers to return when a client requests available turn resources

The init script is located in the scripts directory of this repository. It will need to be modified to load the correct configuration file.

The environment variable NODE_ENV needs to be set with an environment name that matches its corresponding config in config. For example, to load config_wbrn.js set NODE_ENV to "wbrn", to load config_qa2.js set NODE_ENV to "qa2".

First, install the init script as follows:

sudo cp /opt/turn_api/script/turn_api /etc/init.d/turn_api
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/turn_api
sudo chkconfig --add turn_api
sudo chkconfig --level 35 turn_api on

Then, edit the /etc/init.d/turn_api script on line 17 to set the NODE_ENV variable to match your environment.

To start the service:

sudo service turn_api start

To stop the service:

sudo service turn_api stop

First, verify that the application is correctly generating a log file in:

cat /opt/logs/turn_api_app_log.txt

Second, verify that the application webserver is accessible via web browser through the following URL endpoint:

http://YOUR_HOST_NAME:8080/getTURNServerArray

Deleting old keyspace.

First, open Cassandra the command line tool.

/usr/src/apache-cassandra-2.0.7/bin/cqlsh

OR

/usr/src/apache-cassandra-2.0.7/bin/cassandra-cli

(certain commands work in one tool but not the other..)

Delete old keyspace

drop keyspace turn_stats_db;

Creating keyspace & table:

Copy and paste the following scripts into the Cassandra cli:

create keyspace turn_stats_db
  with placement_strategy = 'NetworkTopologyStrategy'
  and strategy_options = {'datacenter1' : 2, 'datacenter2' : 2}
  and durable_writes = true;

Table:

  CREATE TABLE turn_lb (
  server_id text,
  active_connections int,
  cpu_percentage text,
  mem_usage text,
  pid text,
  timestamp int,
  turn_server_ip text,
  PRIMARY KEY (server_id)
) WITH
  bloom_filter_fp_chance=0.010000 AND
  caching='KEYS_ONLY' AND

  replicate_on_write='true' AND
