openstack-lb-treeview 0.1.2

Display a tree view of OpenStack loadbalancers, pools, and members

OpenStack Load Balancer Tree View

A Python script that displays a tree view of all loadbalancers in an OpenStack project, showing pools and members in a hierarchical structure.

Features

• Displays loadbalancers as root nodes
• Shows pools as children of loadbalancers
• Shows members as children of pools
• Highlights members with provisioning_status != ACTIVE (yellow/bold)
• Displays members with operating_status != ONLINE in red
• Filter mode: Show only problematic members (not ACTIVE/ONLINE) and pools with no members
• Collapse mode: Show only pool names without querying/displaying members (faster execution)

Installation

Install globally via pip

Install directly from the source directory:

pip install /path/to/openstack-lb-treeview

Or if you've published to PyPI:

pip install openstack-lb-treeview

After installation, the openstack-lb-treeview command will be available globally.

Set up OpenStack credentials

Set up your OpenStack credentials. You can either:

• Set environment variables (OS_AUTH_URL, OS_USERNAME, OS_PASSWORD, etc.)
• Use a clouds.yaml file in ~/.config/openstack/ or /etc/openstack/

Usage

After installation, use the openstack-lb-treeview command:

Basic usage (uses environment variables for authentication):

openstack-lb-treeview

Specify a cloud from clouds.yaml:

openstack-lb-treeview --cloud mycloud

Filter by project ID:

openstack-lb-treeview --project-id <project-id>

Filter mode (only show problematic members and empty pools):

openstack-lb-treeview --filter

Collapse mode (only show pool names, skip member queries):

openstack-lb-treeview --collapse

Combined filter and collapse mode (show only load balancers with operating_status != 'ONLINE'):

openstack-lb-treeview --filter --collapse

Development Usage

If running from source without installation:

python -m openstack_lb_treeview.lb_treeview

Or directly:

python openstack_lb_treeview/lb_treeview.py

Example Output

Normal mode:

📦 my-loadbalancer (ID: abc123...)
  ├─ 🏊 pool-1 (ID: def456...)
  │  ├─ 👤 member-1 (provisioning: ACTIVE | operating: ONLINE)
  │  └─ 👤 member-2 (provisioning: PENDING_CREATE | operating: OFFLINE)
  └─ 🏊 pool-2 (ID: ghi789...)
     └─ 👤 member-3 (provisioning: ACTIVE | operating: ONLINE)

Filter mode (--filter):

📦 my-loadbalancer (ID: abc123...)
  ├─ 🏊 pool-1 (ID: def456...)
  │  └─ 👤 member-2 (provisioning: PENDING_CREATE | operating: OFFLINE)
  └─ 🏊 pool-3 (ID: xyz789...)
     └─ No members

In filter mode, only pools with problematic members (not ACTIVE or not ONLINE) or pools with no members are shown.

Collapse mode (--collapse):

📦 my-loadbalancer (ID: abc123...)
  ├─ 🏊 pool-1 (ID: def456...)
  └─ 🏊 pool-2 (ID: ghi789...)

In collapse mode, only pool names are displayed without querying or showing members. This is useful for quickly viewing the structure and is faster when you don't need member details.

Combined filter and collapse mode (--filter --collapse):

📦 my-loadbalancer (ID: abc123...)
  ├─ 🏊 pool-1 (ID: def456...)
  └─ 🏊 pool-2 (ID: ghi789...)

When both --filter and --collapse are used together, only load balancers with operating_status != 'ONLINE' are displayed. This is useful for quickly identifying load balancers that are not in an ONLINE state.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• openstacksdk
• OpenStack credentials with appropriate permissions
