You can control vaurien from its APIs. There is a REST API and a command-line API
GET /behavior
Returns the current behavior in use, as a json object.
Example:
$ curl -XGET http://localhost:8080/behavior { "behavior": "dummy" }
PUT /behavior
Set the behavior. The behavior must be provided in a JSON object, in the body of the request, with a name key for the behavior name, and any option to pass to the behavior class.
Note
Don’t forget to set the “application/json” Content-Type header when doing your calls.
Example:
$ curl -XPUT -d '{"sleep": 2, "name": "delay"}' http://localhost:8080/behavior \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" { "status": "ok" }
GET /behaviors
Returns a list of behaviors that are possible to use
Example:
$ curl -XGET http://localhost:8080/behaviors { "behaviors": [ "blackout", "delay", "dummy", "error", "hang" ] }
