A continuous test runner for gathering SLA data
Project description
SLA Monitor Worker
This is the test runner portion of the SLA monitor/reporter. It performs tests (or any command you want) repeatedly, and publishes success/failure to an SNS topic for external processing (for example, using lambda to write to a custom cloudwatch metric), as well as optionally uploading logs to an S3 bucket.
TODO: Unit tests not working
Installing
To install simply install via pip
pip install --user sla-runner
Highly recommended is iam-docker run:
pip install --user iam-docker-run
This project assumes you are using role based authentication, as would be used in a production environment in AWS. This mimics that environment by running with an actual role.
Terraform
Excute the following in the root folder to run terraform. Obviously, have Terraform installed. Set the bucket and table variables to existing backend resources for remote state.
# pip install iam-starter
cd terraform
export AWS_ENV="dev"
export TF_DATA_DIR="./.$AWS_ENV-terraform/"
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="us-east-1"
export TF_STATE_REGION="us-east-1"
export TF_STATE_BUCKET="mycompany-tfstate-$AWS_ENV"
export TF_STATE_TABLE="tfstate_$AWS_ENV"
iam-starter \
--profile $AWS_ENV \
--command \
"terraform init \
-backend-config=\"region=$TF_STATE_REGION\" \
-backend-config=\"bucket=$TF_STATE_BUCKET\" \
-backend-config=\"dynamodb_table=$TF_STATE_TABLE\" && \
terraform apply \
-var \"aws_env=$AWS_ENV\" \
-var \"aws_region=$AWS_DEFAULT_REGION\""
Using
Use iam-docker-run outside of AWS to run tests. In real life scenarios on ECS, instead install sla-runner via pypi in your service container, and set --image
to the image of the service container which contains your test.
docker build -t sla-monitor/sla-runner:latest .
export AWS_ENV="dev"
iam-docker-run \
-e SLARUNNER_COMMAND="/bin/bash /src/test-scripts/run-tests.sh" \
-e SLARUNNER_SERVICE=example-service \
-e SLARUNNER_GROUPS="dev-team,critical" \
-e SLARUNNER_DELAY=30 \
-e SLARUNNER_SNSTOPICNAME="sla-monitor-result-published-$AWS_ENV" \
-e SLARUNNER_S3BUCKETNAME="sla-monitoring-logs-$AWS_ENV" \
--full-entrypoint "sla-runner" \
--region us-east-1 \
--profile $AWS_ENV \
--role sla-monitor-runner-role-$AWS_ENV \
--image sla-monitor/sla-runner:latest
In ECS, add these as environment variables in the task definition or load from ssm via ssm-starter:
--full-entrypoint "ssm-starter --ssm-name slarunner --command 'sla-runner'"
Variables
The runner takes the following values which are provided by environment variable.
Global variables
When loading variables via SSM and ssm-starter, you can define default variables by adding a globals path before the service path.
For example, in your task definition in terraform:
"entryPoint": ["ssm-starter"],
"command": [
"--ssm-name", "sla-monitor-globals",
"--ssm-name", "${var.application}",
"--command", "sla-runner" // or script that runs sla-runner
]
command
$SLARUNNER_COMMAND
Command to be run repeatedly. Pretty straightforward. If there is an interrupt, the runner will attempt to finish the command gracefully before exit.
service
$SLARUNNER_SERVICE
Name of the component service you're testing. This will be used as the prefix for s3 uploads, and will be passed in the JSON event as "service" to SNS.
groups
$SLARUNNER_GROUPS
Name of the grouping of components you're testing, in csv format. This will be passed in the JSON event as "groups" to SNS as a list, and is meant to provide secondary statistics if multiple services are part of the same component.
delay
$SLARUNNER_DELAY
How long to wait between commands being run in seconds.
disabled
$SLARUNNER_DISABLED
To disable sla-runner at startup.
sns-topic-arn
$SLARUNNER_SNSTOPICARN
SNS topic arn to publish results to. It will be published as a JSON object. For example, the command above would produce the following:
{
"service": "example-service",
"group": ["dev-team", "critical"],
"succeeded": true,
"timestamp": "1574515200",
"testExecutionSecs": "914"
}
s3-bucket-name
$SLARUNNER_S3BUCKETNAME
Bucket to write logs to. This is an optional parameter. The object will be named as the timestamp followed by the result for easily searching by result, and will be prefixed by the service name. For example "example-service/1574514000_SUCCESS"
dry-run
$SLARUNNER_DRYRUN
If there is any value at all in this variable, the test will run once, output the sns topic it would publish to, the result message, the log output of the command, and the name of the object that would be written to the bucket. It will NOT publish to sns or write the object to s3. Only for testing purposes.
Development and Testing
docker build -t sla-runner:latest .
iam-docker-run \
--image sla-runner:latest \
--role sla-monitor-runner-role \
--profile dev \
--region us-east-1 \
--host-source-path . \
--container-source-path /src \
--shell
Publishing Updates to PyPi
For the maintainer - to publish an updated version of ssm-search, increment the version number in version.py and run the following:
docker build -t sla-runner . &&
docker run --rm -it --entrypoint make sla-runner publish
At the prompts, enter the username and password to the pypi.org repo.
