Heka 使用的是 TOML 格式的配置文件， 有关 golang 加载 TOML 配置文件的技术请参看： http://www.cnblogs.com/ghj1976/p/4082323.html
Heka用的 读取 TOML 文件的Go库是： https://github.com/bbangert/toml 虽然跟上面文章的不是一个，但是基本差不多。
我们在hekad主进程的配置文件加载的逻辑如下：
- 在启动时，先读取hekad部分的配置内容，用于hekad的启动。
- 然后再去读其他配置节，把heka的管道启动起来。
github.commozilla-serviceshekacmdhekadmain.go 文件中，我们摘要核心代码如下，就可以看到这个逻辑：
这里删除了一些跟这个逻辑过程无关的代码，方便阅读。
加载 hekad 部分配置
代码实现如下， 注意，这里处理了配置文件内置支持环境变量的功能。
对环境变量支持的文档如下：
If you wish to use environmental variables in your config files as a way to configure values, you can simply use %ENV[VARIABLE_NAME] and the text will be replaced with the value of the environmental variable VARIABLE_NAME.
Example:
[AMQPInput] url = "amqp://%ENV[USER]:%ENV[PASSWORD]@rabbitmq/" exchange = "testout" exchangeType = "fanout"
加载插件相关的配置逻辑
加载插件配置的逻辑主要是下面代码：
每个Heka的TOML配置节，对应的实体类如下：
// The TOML spec for plugin configuration options that will be pulled out by
// Heka itself before the config is passed to the Plugin.Init method. Not all
// options apply to all plugin types.
type PluginGlobals struct {
Typ string `toml:"type"`
Ticker uint `toml:"ticker_interval"`
Matcher string `toml:"message_matcher"` // Filter and Output only.
Signer string `toml:"message_signer"` // Filter and Output only.
Retries RetryOptions
Encoder string // Output only.
UseFraming *bool `toml:"use_framing"` // Output only.
CanExit *bool `toml:"can_exit"`
}
对应的解析时的逻辑如下：
func (self *PipelineConfig) loadPluginGlobals(section *ConfigSection) (err error) {
// Set up default retry policy.
pGlobals := new(PluginGlobals)
pGlobals.Retries = RetryOptions{
MaxDelay: "30s",
Delay: "250ms",
MaxRetries: -1,
}
if err = toml.PrimitiveDecode(section.tomlSection, pGlobals); err != nil {
err = fmt.Errorf("Unable to decode config for plugin '%s': %s",
section.name, err)
return
}
if pGlobals.Typ == "" {
pGlobals.Typ = section.name
}
if _, ok := AvailablePlugins[pGlobals.Typ]; !ok {
err = fmt.Errorf("No registered plugin type: %s", pGlobals.Typ)
} else {
section.globals = pGlobals
}
return
}
补充说明如下：
- 如果 type为空， 则 这个节的名字就是 type
- 插件要起作用，需要 RegisterPlugin ， 参看 http://hekad.readthedocs.org/en/v0.8.0/developing/plugin.html
插件的类型有5种，都是在名字或者type上可以看出来的， 对应的判断类型的代码如下：
var PluginTypeRegex = regexp.MustCompile("(Decoder|Encoder|Filter|Input|Output)$")
func getPluginCategory(pluginType string) string {
pluginCats := PluginTypeRegex.FindStringSubmatch(pluginType)
if len(pluginCats) < 2 {
return ""
}
return pluginCats[1]
}
加载配置文件这里，代码在 LoadFromConfigFile 函数， 这里其实就主要做了上面两个事情，外加不同类型插件的特殊处理。
// Loads all plugin configuration from a TOML configuration file. The
// PipelineConfig should be already initialized via the Init function before
// this method is called.
func (self *PipelineConfig) LoadFromConfigFile(filename string) (err error) {
var configFile ConfigFile
// 更新配置文件中，自定义变量（环境变量）
contents, err := ReplaceEnvsFile(filename)
if err != nil {
return err
}
// TOML 解析成 configFile
if _, err = toml.Decode(contents, &configFile); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("Error decoding config file: %s", err)
}
var (
errcnt uint
protobufDRegistered bool
protobufERegistered bool
)
sectionsByCategory := make(map[string][]*ConfigSection)
// Load all the plugin globals and file them by category.
for name, conf := range configFile {
if name == HEKA_DAEMON {
continue
}
log.Printf("Pre-loading: [%s]
", name)
section := &ConfigSection{
name: name,
tomlSection: conf,
}
// 加载插件配置文件， 这里面做了插件注册的检查
if err = self.loadPluginGlobals(section); err != nil {
self.log(err.Error())
errcnt++
continue
}
// 获取插件的类型
category := getPluginCategory(section.globals.Typ)
if category == "" {
self.log(fmt.Sprintf("Type doesn't contain valid plugin name: %s
",
section.globals.Typ))
errcnt++
continue
}
// 特殊插件类型的处理
section.category = category
if section.globals.Typ == "MultiDecoder" {
// Special case MultiDecoders so we can make sure they get
// registered *after* all possible subdecoders.
sectionsByCategory["MultiDecoder"] = append(sectionsByCategory["MultiDecoder"],
section)

}

}
}

for i, section := range sectionsByCategory["MultiDecoder"] {
