rvr-base 1.1.1

Roberts base module

rvr.base

This is Roberts personal base module. Currently it provides the following functionality:

• Logging to Azure log analytics
• Sending notifications using https://notify.run/
• Querying configuration from a single configuration (.ini) file.

Prerequistes

You'll need an Azure log analytics workspace. This is where the logs are send to. This module is developed for Linux and tested on:

• Ubuntu 20.04 using Python 3.8.10.
• Raspberry Pi OS using Python 3.9.2

The configurationfile The configuration file is used for some configuration settings like the Log analytics workspace and password... it's a bad practice I know... Perhaps I'll improve the security later on. The file is located in '/etc/rvr/config.ini'.

The file requires the following content:

[AZ GENERAL]
tenant = 83ebf573-f6a0-4a5a-a14e-323ba97ec356

[AZ_LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE]
workspace_id = 'log analytics workspace_id'
primary_key = 'log analytics primary key'
powerstatistics_workspace_id = 'log analytics workspace_id'
powerstatistics_primary_key = 'log analytics primary key'

[AZ SERVICE PRINCIPAL LOGANALYTICSREADER]
service_principal_loganalyticsreader_id = 'service principal'
service_principal_loganalyticsreader_secret = 'secret'

[HOME_WIZARD_P1]
hwip = IP

Installing the module

Just install the module with pip3 install rvr-base.

Using the module

An example says more than 1000 words in my opinion. Please see the example.py file in this project for examples.

Building

Prerequistes for building Make sure you'll have the following PIP packages installed:

• wheel
• setuptools
• twine

Build the module Make sure the cursor is the root folder of the project and run: python3 -m build

Distributing the module

python3 -m twine upload dist/* --verbose -u

Testing the build module

Yeah I know, this isn't proper testing. But for now I've got to do with it. Here is an example:

# create a Python virtual environment:
python3 -m venv venv

# Make the environment active
source venv/bin/activate

# Install the build module
pip3 install ./dist/rvrbase-<VERSION AND THE REST OF THE FILE>.whl

#Run the example script
python3 example.py
