Pack and unpack Check_MK mkp files
Project description
Pack or unpack Check_MK mkp files.
The purpose of this library is to generate mkp files from source without having to set up a complete Check_MK instance. It is not intended for installing mkp files to a Check_MK site. ## Installation
pip install mkp
Usage
Automatically pack mkp package
Create a executable script in the the top directory, e.g. dist.py
#!/usr/bin/env python from mkp import dist dist({ 'author': 'John Doe', 'description': 'Test the automatic creation of packages', 'download_url': 'http://example.com/', 'name': 'test', 'title': 'Test', 'version': '1.0', 'version.min_required': '1.2.3', })
Create a directory structure as follows:
├── agents/ ├── checkman/ ├── checks/ ├── doc/ ├── inventory/ ├── notifications/ ├── pnp-templates/ ├── web/ └── dist.py
Empty directories can be omitted. Running dist.py will pack all files in the directories listed above to a mkp package with the canonical name and the specified metadata. The mkp file will be written to the dist directory.
Extract mkp package
import mkp package = mkp.load_file('foo-1.0.mkp') print(package.info) package.extract_files('path/to/somewhere')
Pack files to mkp package
In contrast to dist, this provides the possibility to manually select the files by replacing find_files. It is also possible to choose a different output filename.
import mkp info = { 'author': 'tom-mi', 'description': 'Test the system', 'download_url': 'http://example.com/', 'files': mkp.find_files('path/to/files'), 'name': 'test', 'title': 'Test', 'version': '1.0', 'version.min_required': '1.2.3', } mkp.pack_to_file(info, 'path/to/files', 'test-1.0.mkp')
