HTTP Interface

Mesos-DNS implements a simple REST API for service discovery over HTTP:

  • GET /v1/version: lists the Mesos-DNS version
  • GET /v1/config: lists the Mesos-DNS configuration info
  • GET /v1/hosts/{host}: lists the IP address of a host
  • GET /v1/services/{service}: lists the host, IP address, and port for a service

GET /v1/version

Lists in JSON format the Mesos-DNS version and source code URL.

$ curl http://10.190.238.173:8123/v1/version
{
    "Service":"Mesos-DNS",
    "URL":"https://github.com/mesosphere/mesos-dns","Version":"0.1.1"
}

GET /v1/config

Lists in JSON format the Mesos-DNS configuration parameters. 

curl http://10.190.238.173:8123/v1/config
{
    "Masters":null,
    "Zk":"zk://10.207.154.85:2181/mesos",
    "RefreshSeconds":60,
    "TTL":60,
    "Port":53,
    "Domain":"mesos",
    "Resolvers":["169.254.169.254","10.0.0.1"],
    "Timeout":5,
    "Email":"root.mesos-dns.mesos.",
    "Mname":"mesos-dns.mesos.",
    "Listener":"0.0.0.0",
    "HttpPort":8123,
    "DnsOn":true,
    "HttpOn":true
}

GET /v1/hosts/{host}

Lists in JSON format the IP address(es) that correspond to a hostname. It is the equivalent of DNS A record lookup. Note, the HTTP interface only translates hostnames in the Mesos domain. 

$ curl http://10.190.238.173:8123/v1/hosts/nginx.marathon.mesos
[
    {"host":"nginx.marathon.mesos.","ip":"10.249.219.155"},
    {"host":"nginx.marathon.mesos.","ip":"10.190.238.173"},
    {"host":"nginx.marathon.mesos.","ip":"10.156.230.230"}
]

GET /v1/services/{service}

Lists in JSON format the hostname, IP addres, and ports that correspond to a hostname. It is the equivalent of DNS SRV record lookup. Note, the HTTP interface only translates services in the Mesos domain. 

curl http://10.190.238.173:8123/v1/services/_nginx._tcp.marathon.mesos.
[
    {"host":"nginx-s2.marathon.mesos.","ip":"10.249.219.155","port":"31644","service":"_nginx._tcp.marathon.mesos."},
    {"host":"nginx-s1.marathon.mesos.","ip":"10.190.238.173","port":"31667","service":"_nginx._tcp.marathon.mesos."},
    {"host":"nginx-s0.marathon.mesos.","ip":"10.156.230.230","port":"31880","service":"_nginx._tcp.marathon.mesos."}
]
