KVStore

This is a utility class that abstracts loading a configuration from Consul or ETCD. This class supports perodically reloading the configuration from the configured key-value store, and notifying a callback method after reloading. The following may be passed into the constructor, or pulled from env variables:

+------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Constructor Arg | Environment Variable | Description | Default | +==================+=======================+============================================+===========+ | consul_host | CONSUL_HOST | Host for Consul | None | +------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ | consul_port | CONSUL_PORT | Port for Consul | 8500 | +------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ | etcd_host | ETCD_HOST | Host for etcd | localhost | +------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ | etcd_port | ETCD_PORT | Port for etcd | 2379 | +------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ | kv_prefix | KV_PREFIX | Prefix for config path | "" | +------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ | reload_seconds | RELOAD_CONFIG_PERIOD | Seconds between config reloads | 20 | +------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ | reload_enabled | RELOAD_ENABLED | If true, reloads the config periodically. | False | +------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+

TODO: Future Features

Nested Configurations: Will enable you specify a list of prefixes to use to overlay configuration values.

Example Usage

      from clc_msa_utils.kv_store import KVStore

        # Create config store
        kv_store = KVStore(
            kv_prefix=os.getenv('CONSUL_PREFIX') or os.getenv('ETCD_PREFIX', '/config/retry-listener'),
            reload_enabled=True
        )

        # Setup on_reload handler
        def initialize():
            kv_store.on_reload(dynamic_configuration)

        # Implement reload handler to check if attributes changed, and then perform some logic.
        def dynamic_configuration(old, new):
            if not old or old.get('exchange_configs') != new.get('exchange_configs') \
                or kv_store.attribute_changed("rabbit_host","rabbit_port","rabbit_user","rabbit_password","rabbit_queue_name"):
            setup_queue()

    # Use kv_store to pull configuration values.
    def setup_queue():
        rabbit_host = kv_store.get('rabbit_host', 'localhost')
        rabbit_port = int(kv_store.get('rabbit_port', 5672))

LogManager

This is a utility class that uses a KVStore to configure the python logging facility. It uses KVStore's dynamic ability to reload its configuration to update Python's logging facility.

+------------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------------+ | Constructor Arg | Description | Default | +==================+=============================================+====================+ | kv_store | Backing KVStore used to configure logging. | None/Required | +------------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------------+

KVStore configurations relative to the kv_prefix

+------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Key | Description | Default | +==============================+=============================================+=======================================================================+ | logging_filename | The file where logs are written. | None (Std Out) | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | logging_filemode | The file mode if a filename is specified | None | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | logging_format | The format of the logging line | [%(threadName)s] %(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(name)s - %(message)s | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | logging_datefmt | The date format of the date written | %m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | logging_level | Root logging Level | INFO | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | logging_config/log_name_1 | Logging level for <log_name_1> | None | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | logging_config/log_name_2 | Logging level for <log_name_2> | None | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | logging_config/log_name_n | Logging level for <log_name_n> | None | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Example Usage

Here are the available configurations for logging provided by KVStore using an example of /config/local_config

    {
      "config" : {
         "local_config" : {
            "logging_level": "INFO",
            "logging_config": {
               "default": "DEBUG",
               "KVStore": "DEBUG",
               "LogManager": "DEBUG"
            }
         }
      }
    }

   :number-lines: 1

   from clc_msa_utils.kv_store import KVStore
   from clc_msa_utils.log_manager import LogManager

   kv_store = KVStore(
       kv_prefix=os.getenv('CONSUL_PREFIX') or
                 os.getenv('ETCD_PREFIX') or
                 os.getenv('KV_PREFIX', '/config/local_config'),
       reload_enabled=True
   )

   log_manager = LogManager(kv_store=kv_store)

QueueFactory

This is a utility class that abstracts the creation of Queue Producers and Queue Consumers/Listeners. The producers and consumers are constructed based on a configuration passed into their respective methods as a parameter. The following is an example JSON configuration of a Queue Consumer configuration that could be stored in a key-value store such as ETCD or Consul. Notice that the queue_config attribute is an array and can be all of the necessary configuration for both your Consumer and Producers.

    {
      "queue_config": [
        {
          "name": "make_managed_request",
          "type": "consumer",
          "exchange": {
            "name": "managed_server",
            "type": "x-delayed-message",
            "arguments": {"x-delayed-type": "topic"},
            "durable": true
          },
          "queue": "make_managed_mos_cmdb",
          "binding_key": "requested.make_managed",
          "host": "rabbitmq.managed-services-dev.skydns.local",
          "port": "5672",
          "auth": {
            "user": "guest",
            "password": "guest"
          }
        }
      ]
    }

        # Initialize QueueFactory
        q_factory = QueueFactory()

        # Generate Queue Consumers (QueueConsumer)
        consumers = q_factory.create_consumers(queue_config)

        # Generate Queue Producers (QueueProducer)
        producers = q_factory.create_producers(queue_config)

        # Retrieve and use consumer based on name configured
        consumers['make_managed_request'].listen(callback_function)

        # Retrieve and use producer based on name configured
        producers['error'].publish({"error_details": "message about how you messed things up..."})

QueueWorker

This is a utility class that creates a KVStore, LogManager, configures exchanges and queues, and starts consuming. This class also supports multi-threaded queue consumers, specified by the amqp connections. It also provides convenience methods to publish success messages, error messages, and will handle catching and reporting exceptionswithout writing code in the callback method, and acknowldge the message when done.
