A pure Python client for SNIA SMI test support.
Project description
About this project
smipyping is a set of WBEM server test tools based on the pywbem WBEM client implementation. The goal is to provide a variety of tools to be able to test the current status of WBEM servers both superically and by analyzing the details of the server code using the SNIA smi profiles to define the details of the server.
Installation Requirements
Python 2.7. At this point, this package will only run with Python 2.7 because one of the core packages (scapy) is Python 2 only.
smipyping - Installed as part of the smipyping installation
Linux - Including linux tools like make, etc.
We do NOT support python 3 right now primarily because one required package (scapy) does not support python 3. Plans are to remove this requirement and then smipyping will support python 3.
Installation
See INSTALL.md
Usage
smipyping consists of a number of scripts that provide tests of WBEM Servers.
These are documented in the smipyping documentation.
This includes:
smicli
This is a multilevel cli program that will include all the functionality in the following commands: This tool incorporates a number of subcommands including the following subcommands:
cimping Command group to do simpleping. explorer Command group for general provider explore. help Show help message for interactive mode. provider Command group for simple provider operations. repl Enter interactive (REPL) mode (default). sweep Command group to sweep for servers. targets Command group for managing targets data.
The smicli command structure is described in detail in the documentation. It includes built-in help at every level of the command to define the arguments and options for that level. Thus, for example, you can request help as follows:
smicli --help - Top level help
smicli cimping --help - Tells you what options/cmds exist under
cimping
smicli cimping providers --help - Parameters for this subcommand that
executes a simple ping against a host.
smicli has replaced all other separate scripts with subcommands in smicli and these scripts are being removed from the code base.
simpleping
This tool has been obsoleted after integration into smicli.
serversweep
This tool has been obsoleted after integration into smicli.
explore
This tool has been obsoleted after integration into smicli.
Targets databases
smipyping depends heavily on some form of database for the following information:
target wbem server connection information including ip addresses, passwords, user names, ports, and https/http. In addition the current databases include information on ports, profiles, etc. which is being weaned out of the database requirements.
Information on users, etc. to supplement reports on the status of the wbem server environment.
No database is supplied with the clone or pip of smipyping because the database of targets can contain sensitive information such as names and passwords.
smipyping allows for multiple types of databases:
sql (mysql). Addition of sqlite is in process but incomplete today
csv (comma-separated-values) file as a database for at least the the definitions of the target WBEM servers to be tested.
mysql database
The Mysql database defines a number of tables.
csv database
A simple csv file that is in the root directory serves as the current definition of servers as an alternative to the mysql database.
smicli configuration file
smipyping uses a configuration file (default smicli.ini) as the basis for much of the configuration to simplify command line parameters. This file is in standard ini format with sections and name/value pairs.
The file allows the user to define the database used, logging configuration, and other information about the configuration for smicli.
This configuration file is defined in detail in the example and a sample file is included as smicli-example.ini. This can be used as the configuration file by completing the values concerning database configuration and changing the name to smicli.ini.
Status
This code is under development and is provided today in as-is status.
