Library for building InfraSonar probes
Project description
Python library for building InfraSonar Probes
This library is created for building InfraSonar probes.
Environment variable
Variable | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
AGENTCORE_HOST |
127.0.0.1 |
Hostname or Ip address of the AgentCore. |
AGENTCORE_PORT |
8750 |
AgentCore port to connect to. |
ENCRYPTION_KEY |
default | Use your own encryption key for encrypting secrets in the YAML file. |
INFRASONAR_CONF |
/data/config/infrasonar.yaml |
File with probe and asset configuration like credentials. |
MAX_PACKAGE_SIZE |
500 |
Maximum package size in kilobytes (1..2000). |
MAX_CHECK_TIMEOUT |
300 |
Check time-out is 80% of the interval time with MAX_CHECK_TIMEOUT in seconds as absolute maximum. |
DRY_RUN |
none | Do not run demonized, just return checks and assets specified in the given yaml (see the Dry run section below). |
LOG_LEVEL |
warning |
Log level (debug , info , warning , error or critical ). |
LOG_COLORIZED |
0 |
Log using colors (0 =disabled, 1 =enabled). |
LOG_FTM |
%y%m%d %H:%M:%S |
Log format prefix. |
Usage
Building an InfraSonar.get_state
import logging
from libprobe.asset import Asset
from libprobe.probe import Probe
from libprobe.severity import Severity
from libprobe.exceptions import (
CheckException,
IgnoreResultException,
IgnoreCheckException,
IncompleteResultException,
)
__version__ = "0.1.0"
async def my_first_check(asset: Asset, asset_config: dict, check_config: dict):
"""My first check.
Arguments:
asset: Asset contains an id, name and check which should be used
for logging;
asset_config: local configuration for this asset, for example credentials;
check_config: configuration for this check; contains for example the
interval at which the check is running and an address of
the asset to probe;
"""
if "ignore_this_check_iteration":
# nothing will be send to InfraSonar for this check iteration;
raise IgnoreResultException()
if "no_longer_try_this_check":
# nothing will be send to InfraSonar for this check iteration and the
# check will not start again until the probe restarts or configuration
# has been changed;
raise IgnoreCheckException()
if "something_has_happened":
# send a check error to InfraSonar because something has happened which
# prevents us from building a check result; The default severity for a
# CheckException is MEDIUM but this can be overwritten;
raise CheckException("something went wrong", severity=Severity.LOW)
if "something_unexpected_has_happened":
# other exceptions will be converted to CheckException, MEDIUM severity
raise Exception("something went wrong")
# A check result may have multiple types, items, and/or metrics
result = {"myType": [{"name": "my item"}]}
if "result_is_incomplete":
# optionally, IncompleteResultException can be given another severity;
# the default severity is LOW.
raise IncompleteResultException('missing type x', result)
# Use the asset in logging; this will include asset info and the check key
logging.info(f"log something; {asset}")
# Return the check result
return result
if __name__ == "__main__":
checks = {
"myFirstCheck": my_first_check,
}
# Initialize the probe with a name, version and checks
probe = Probe("myProbe", __version__, checks)
# Start the probe
probe.start()
ASCII item names
InfraSonar requires each item to have a unique name property. The value for name must be a string with ASCII compatible character.
When your name is not guaranteed to be ASCII compatible, the following code replaces the incompatible characters with question marks (?
):
name = name.encode('ascii', errors='replace').decode()
Config
When using a password
or secret
within a config section, the library
will encrypt the value so it will be unreadable by users. This must not be
regarded as true encryption as the encryption key is publicly available.
Example yaml configuration:
exampleProbe:
config:
username: alice
password: secret_password
assets:
- id: 123
config:
username: bob
password: "my secret"
- id: [456, 789]
config:
username: charlie
password: "my other secret"
otherProbe:
use: exampleProbe # use the exampleProbe config for this probe
Dry run
Create a yaml file, for example (test.yaml):
asset:
name: "foo.local"
check: "system"
config:
address: "192.168.1.2"
Run the probe with the DRY_RUN
environment variable set the the yaml file above.
DRY_RUN=test.yaml python main.py
Note: Optionally an asset id might be given which can by used to find asset configuration in the local asset configuration file. Asset config is also optional.
Dump to JSON
A dry run writes all log to stderr and only the JSON dump is written to stdout. Therefore, writing the output to JSON is easy:
DRY_RUN=test.yaml python main.py > dump.json
