python-monascaclient 1.3.0

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

See versions on PYPI:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-monascaclient/

Install It:
- sudo pip install python-monascaclient

Alternative Manual Install Steps:
- cd 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>

monasca -j <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=

When OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME is not set, then 'Default' is assumed. Alternatively IDs can be used instead of names.

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.

You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
``monasca help``::

Python API
----------

There's also a complete Python API.

In order to use the python api directly, you must pass in a valid auth token and
monasca api endpoint, or you can pass in the credentials required by the keystone
client and let the Python API do the authentication. The user can obtain the token
and endpoint using the keystone client api:
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-keystoneclient/.
The service catalog name for our API endpoint is "monasca".

Start using the monascaclient API by constructing the monascaclient client.Client class.
The Client class takes these parameters: api_version, endpoint, and token.
The Client class is used to call all monasca-api resource commands (i.e.
client.Client.metrics.create(fields)).

Long running users of the Client will recieve an indication
that the keystone token has expired when they receive an HTTP response
code of 401 Unauthorized from the monasca-API. In this case, it is
up to the user to get a new token from keystone which can be passed
into the client.Client.replace_token(token) method. If you constructed
the Client with all the keystone credentials needed to authenticate,
then the API will automatically try one time to re-authenticate with
keystone whenever the token expires.

The api_version matches the version of the Monasca API. Currently it is 'v2_0'.

When calling the commands, refer to monascaclient.v2_0.shell.py 'do_<command>'
to see the required and optional fields for each command.
https://github.com/openstack/python-monascaclient/blob/master/monascaclient/v2_0/shell.py

Refer to the example in python-monascaclient/client_api_example.py for more detail::

from monascaclient import client
from monascaclient import ksclient
import monascaclient.exc as exc
import time

api_version = '2_0'

# Authenticate to Keystone
keystone_url = 'http://keystone:5000/v3'
ks = ksclient.KSClient(auth_url=keystone_url, username='user', password='password')

# construct the mon client
monasca_client = client.Client(api_version, ks.monasca_url, token=ks.token)

# call the metric-create command
dimensions = {'instance_id': '12345', 'service': 'hello'}
fields = {}
fields['name'] = 'cindy1'
fields['dimensions'] = dimensions
fields['timestamp'] = time.time() * 1000
fields['value'] = 222.333
try:
resp = monasca_client.metrics.create(**fields)
except exc.HTTPException as he:
print(he.code)
print(he.message)
else:
print(resp)
