Argus

Argus

Description

Argus is a test tracking system intended to provide observability into automated test pipelines which use long-running resources. It allows observation of a test status, its events and its allocated resources. It also allows easy comparison between particular runs of a specific test.

Installation notes

Development

For development setup instructions, see dev-setup.md.

Prerequisites

• Python >=3.10.0 (system-wide or pyenv)

• NodeJS >=16 (with npm)

• Yarn (can be installed globally with npm -g install yarn)

• nginx

• uv

From source

Production

Perform the following steps:

Create a user that will be used by uwsgi:

useradd -m -s /bin/bash argus
sudo -iu argus

(Optional) Install pyenv and create a virtualenv for this user:

pyenv install 3.10.0
pyenv virtualenv argus
pyenv activate argus

Clone the project into a directory somewhere where user has full write permissions

git clone https://github.com/scylladb/argus ~/app
cd ~/app

Install project dependencies:

uv sync --all-extras
yarn install

Compile frontend files from /frontend into /public/dist

yarn webpack

Create a argus.local.yaml configuration file (used to configure database connection) and a argus_web.yaml (used for webapp secrets) in your application install directory.

cp argus_web.example.yaml argus_web.yaml
cp argus.yaml argus.local.yaml

Open argus.local.yaml and add the database connection information (contact_points, user, password and keyspace name).

Open argus_web.yaml and change the SECRET_KEY value to something secure, like a sha512 digest of random bytes. Fill out GITHUB_* variables with their respective values.

Copy nginx configuration file from docs/configs/argus.nginx.conf to nginx virtual hosts directory:

Ubuntu:

sudo cp docs/configs/argus.nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/argus
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/argus /etc/nginx/sites-available/argus

RHEL/Centos/Alma/Fedora:

sudo cp docs/configs/argus.nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/argus.conf

Adjust the webhost settings in that file as necessary, particularly listen and server_name directives.

Copy systemd service file from docs/config/argus.service to /etc/systemd/system directory:

sudo cp docs/config/argus.service /etc/systemd/system

Open it and adjust the path to the start_argus.sh script in the ExecStart= directive and the user/group, then reload systemd daemon configuration and enable (and optionally start) the service.

WARNING: start_argus.sh assumes pyenv is installed into ~/.pyenv

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now argus.service
