Request Status Always "proxy-only" and General Improvements

Open rlazimi-dev opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Trickster Version

Trickster version: 1.1.5, buildInfo: 2022-11-10T14:56:50+0000 , goVersion: go1.17.12, copyright: © 2018 Comcast Corporation

Problem

Every request made to an influxdb origin is returning X-Trickster-Result: engine=HTTPProxy; status=proxy-only.

Below is my configuration (left) and 2 contiguous attempts at querying trickster (right): proxy-only

Is there something I am doing incorrectly in my configuration?

On that note - I've been trying to get Trickster to work for ClickHouse, Prometheus, and InfluxDB, and have only gotten it to work with Prometheus. Are there plans to maintain this project more actively? I've been told that the ClickHouse plugin does not work, and in general it would be great if the logging was improved to explain why certain states like proxy-only occur.

My company is at a point where we're considering new tools to help load balancing and caching toward ClickHouse, Prometheus, and Influx. Trickster appears to perfectly satisfy of our requirements based on what I've read, and it would be incredibly useful to for our use case. Thank you for your work so far!

FYI, I suspect this is resolved in v2 & in recent PRs (https://github.com/trickstercache/trickster/pull/822) as the influxdb backend client has been entirely rewritten
