python-monascaclient 1.12.0

Monasca API Client Library

Python bindings to the Monasca API

This is a client library for Monasca built to interface with the Monasca API. It provides a Python API (the monascaclient module) and a command-line tool (monasca).

The Monasca Client was written using the OpenStack Heat Python client as a framework.

• Ubuntu Install

• Building and Packaging

• Command-line API

Ubuntu Install

Requires:

pip - version >= 1.4.  python get-pip.py

See versions on PYPI:

https://pypi.org/project/python-monascaclient/

Install It:

sudo pip install python-monascaclient

Alternative Manual Install Steps:

cd <path to your python-monascaclient repo>

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

python setup.py install

Building and Packaging

Install the tool dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-pip python-virtualenv

In the python-monascaclient source directory:

virtualenv --no-site-packages .venv

source ./.venv/bin/activate

pip install wheel

python setup.py bdist_wheel

pip install $(ls -1rt dist/*.whl | tail -1) --upgrade

Command-line API

Installing this distribution gets you a shell command, monasca, that you can use to interact with the Monitoring API server.

Usage:

monasca

monasca help

monasca help <command>

  This outputs the results in json format.  Normally output is in table format.

The monascaclient CLI needs the Monasca API endpoint url and the OS_AUTH_TOKEN to pass to the Monasca API RESTful interface. This is provided through environment or CLI parameters.

Environmental Variables

Environmental variables can be sourced, or optionally passed in as CLI arguments. It is easiest to source them first and then use the CLI.

When token and endpoint are known:

export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=XXX
export MONASCA_API_URL=http://192.168.10.4:8070/v2.0/

When using Keystone to obtain the token and endpoint:

export OS_USERNAME=
export OS_PASSWORD=
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=
export OS_AUTH_URL=
export OS_REGION_NAME=
# Optional(specific version added to OS_AUTH_URL if (v2.0 or v3) not present already)
export OS_AUTH_VERSION=

When OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME is not set, then ‘Default’ is assumed. Alternatively IDs can be used instead of names. Although deprecated, but OS_TENANT_NAME and OS_TENANT_ID can be used for OS_PROEJCT_NAME and OS_PROJECT_ID respectively.

When using Vagrant Environment with middleware disabled:

export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=82510970543135
export OS_NO_CLIENT_AUTH=1
export MONASCA_API_URL=http://192.168.10.4:8070/v2.0/

The Monasca API will treat the auth token as the tenant ID when Keystone is not enabled.
