This is a client library for the Toxiproxy - a proxy that simulates network and system conditions. With toxiproxy-java you may use a convenient Java API to create and manage proxies. Before you using this library, please read the Usage section of the Toxiproxy README.

Installation:

<dependency>
  <groupId>eu.rekawek.toxiproxy</groupId>
  <artifactId>toxiproxy-java</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.7</version>
</dependency>

By default, the ToxiproxyClient tries to connect to the http://localhost:8474. This might be changed using the parametrized constructor:

ToxiproxyClient client = new ToxiproxyClient("192.168.1.1", 8474);

Following snippet will create a new proxy for the MySQL service:

Proxy mysqlProxy = client.createProxy("mysql", "localhost:21212", "localhost:3306");

The proxy will listen on port 21212 on the loopback interface and transfer all the traffic to port 3306. We may also create a toxic:

mysqlProxy.toxics().latency("my-latency-toxic", DOWNSTREAM, 100).setJitter(15);

For a full list of toxics, please visit the Toxiproxy README.
