Signal Handling #

Kuzzle handles certain Unix signals which fall into the following three categories:

  • Abnormal termination
  • Normal termination
  • Dump report generation

The code related to signal handling can be seen here : lib/api/kuzzle.js#L183

Abnormal termination #

Unix signal names:

  • SIGQUIT
  • SIGABRT
  • SIGPIPE

These signals are the result of a critical error and will force Kuzzle to shutdown. When one of the aforementioned Unix signals is detected, Kuzzle will first generate a dump report and then shutdown.

Normal termination #

Unix signal names:

  • SIGTERM
  • SIGINT

These signals are the result of a request to terminate gracefully. When one of the aforementioned Unix signals is detected, Kuzzle will refuse new requests, exit the cluster, finish the current request queue and then shutdown.

Dump report #

Unix signal names:

  • SIGTRAP

When one of the aforementioned Unix signals is detected, Kuzzle will generate a dump report and continue to serve requests normally.
