clustercheck

Check a cluster before it goes live.

Usage:

clustercheck -c my.config

Example of config:

dns_map:
    www.blah.com: kube.aws.longthing.com
    www.bar.com: 12.34.56.7

plugin:
    - lib: myplugin.py
      name: MyCheck

checks:
    - url: "wss://dev-site.example.io"
      plugin: MyCheck
    - url: "wss://prod-site.example.io"
      plugin: MyCheck
    - url: "https://prod-site.example.io"
      expect: 
        contains: some-string
      args:
        verify: False

This will run 3 checks, 2 of them will re-use the same plugin (MyCheck), and the 3rd, will just hit the url with requests() lib.

Example of plugin:

class MyCheck(clustercheck.Plugin):
    def check(self, url, args):
        return True

Args are "anything in the args yml". They are not checked, so plugins must verify these values.

Check Execution

- dns map is applied first, it monkey-patches the socket library
- dns map is not inherited by subprocesses, it is python in-process only
- each check is executed in order
- if a plugin is not specified, the url must be valid
- plugsin can be named as "module.name" or as "/path/to/file.py"

Generic checks

- urls are checked for status 200, unless expect: status: is changes.
- websockets are only checked for a ping
- args, if any, are passed to the `requests.request()` or `websocket.create_connection()` calls directly
- default "method" for requests is "GET"

Output format

- output is recorded internally as (PASS/FAIL, time, message, check_config)
- default output format is: "{ok} [{time}] {message} {config.url}"
- passing results are not output unless --verbose is set
