# Introduction

Citellus is a program that should help with system configuration validation on either live system or any sort of snapshot of the filesystem.

Please if you have any idea on any improvements please do not hesitate to open an issue.

## Highlights
- Plugins written in your language of choice.
- Allows to dump output to json file to be processed by other tools.
- Allow to visualize html from json output.
- Check our sample at: [Citellus-www](http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/zerodayz/citellus/blob/master/doc/sampleweb/citellus.html)
- Ansible playbook support.
- Save / restore default settings

Check latest changes on [Changelog.md](Changelog.md)
Check for plugins listing on [citellusclient/plugins/](citellusclient/plugins/)

## Installation

- Just clone the git repository and execute it from there 'or'
- use 'pipsi' or create a python virtual env to install package 'citellus'
~~~sh
# pipsi install citellus
Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python3
Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in /home/iranzo/.local/venvs/citellus/bin/python3
Also creating executable in /home/iranzo/.local/venvs/citellus/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
Collecting citellus
Installing collected packages: citellus
Successfully installed citellus-0.1.0.dev1072
Linked script /home/iranzo/.local/bin/citellus.py
Linked script /home/iranzo/.local/bin/magui.py
Done.
~~~
- Pipsi will take care of installing a virtual environment and link to binary folder so you can call citellus.py or magui.py directly
- Remember that pypi package might not contain all the latests plugins features as the github repo one.

## Usage help
We are developing framework in python, the bash framework has been deprecated. Python framework is the only supported framework.

```
usage: citellus.py [arguments] [-h] [-l] [--list-plugins] [--list-extensions]
[--list-categories] [--description]
[--output FILENAME] [--web] [--blame] [--lang]
[--only-failed] [-v]
[-d {INFO,DEBUG,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}] [-q]
[-i SUBSTRING] [-x SUBSTRING] [-p [0-1000]]
[--dump-config] [--no-config]
[sosreport]

Citellus allows to analyze a directory against common set of tests, useful for
finding common configuration errors

positional arguments:
sosreport

optional arguments:

-l, --live Work on a live system instead of a snapshot
--list-plugins Print a list of discovered plugins and exit
--list-extensions Print a list of discovered extensions and exit
--list-categories With list-plugins, also print a list and count of
discovered plugin categories
--description With list-plugins, also outputs plugin description
--output FILENAME, -o FILENAME
Write results to JSON file FILENAME
--web Write results to JSON file citellus.json and copy html
interface in path defined in --output

Output and logging options:
--blame Report time spent on each plugin

than once)
-d {INFO,DEBUG,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}, --loglevel {INFO,DEBUG,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}
Set log level
-q, --quiet Enable quiet mode

Filtering options:
-i SUBSTRING, --include SUBSTRING

-x SUBSTRING, --exclude SUBSTRING
Exclude plugins that contain substring
-p [0-1000], --prio [0-1000]
Only include plugins are equal or above specified prio

Config options:
--dump-config Dump config to console to be saved into file
--no-config Do not read configuration from file ~/DEVEL
/citellus/citellusclient/citellus.conf or
~/.citellus.conf

```

## Plugins and their descriptions
This is new feature of citellus that will show you available scripts and their description.

```
./citellus.py --list-plugins --description
{'backend': 'core', 'description': 'This plugin checks if Apache reaches its MaxRequestWorkers', 'plugin': '/home/iranzo/DEVEL/citellus/citellusclient/plugins/core/bugzilla/httpd/1406417.sh'}

{'backend': 'core', 'description': 'Checks python-ryu tracebacks', 'plugin': '/home/iranzo/DEVEL/citellus/citellusclient/plugins/core/bugzilla/openstack/neutron/1450223.sh'}
```

## Doing a live check example
This is an example of execution of Citellus using all openstack and pacemaker tests collections.

```
./citellus.py -q -l -i pacemaker -i openstack

```

## Doing a fs snapshot check example
This is an example of execution of Citellus using ```pacemaker``` and ```openstack``` filter against fs snapshot.

```
./citellus.py -q -i pacemaker -i openstack sosreport-undercloud-0.redhat.local-20171117212710/

ceilometer.conf setting must be updated:

```

## HTML Interface
- Create by using `--output $FOLDER` and `--web`, open the generated `citellus.html`.

<img src="doc/images/www.png" height="40%" border=0>

- Citellus-web now supports the parsing of magui.json.

- It's possible to tell the citellus.html which json to parse by adding json=<jsonfile> as a query string:
~~~
http://host/citellus.html?json=magui.json
~~~

## Ansible playbooks
Citellus can also run Ansible playbooks via extension

The are some additional conventions that are detailed in [ansible-playbooks.md](doc/ansible-playbooks.md) that determine how to code them to be executed in live or snapshoot mode.

Commands have been extended to allow `--list-plugins` to list them and include /exclude filters to work with them.

All of them must end in `.yml`.
