Any more CloudMonkey improvements you want to see?

Hi all,

We want to work on the next release of CloudMonkey do you have any
issues that we should fix, or any new feature you want? Thanks.

Sound like a configuration management tool you want. On a similar use case you may find Paul’s ansible module useful that uses cloudmonkey to deploy zone etc. with a specific configuration (zones, storage, template, global settings etc). I find ansible pleasant to work with and does not take a lot of time to learn it or use it.

Personally to follow the unix philosophy I don’t want cloudmonkey to do many things. For such kind of use-cases that people have suggested before, I was thinking of refactoring cloudmonkey in such a way that they could write their own plugins for cloudmonkey (much like say nose), maybe for 5.4.0.

I’m working on a test/CI tool to automate testing and deployment which you may find more useful, it’s going to be tool like cloudmonkey. I’ll keep you posted as soon as it can start working for me, I think you may find it interesting. The main issue for me is right now is that I started writing it in Go and while it’s great, it not as friendly as Python can be.

Right now, tools/marvin has a deployDatacenter script in it that accepts a datacenter config json file and deploys a datacenter using that.  Maybe you can try that? Though it does not have the import and export/deploy kind of feature you’re looking for.

For example, this is what I use for doing local smoke tests: (there are other config files in setup/dev)
python tools/marvin/marvin/deployDataCenter.py -i setup/dev/advanced.cfg

Here is the use case i have. End user needs to setup new cloudstack 
instance with zones, secondary and primary stores, templates, global 
settings, etc... he knows most of the configs will be similar to another 
env he has with slight differences.
If there would be a way to dump this setup in its entirety, modify few 
configs that are global/zone/cluster/host/network specific and use it as 
a template to deploy other envs.

I tend to setup new environments  quite frequently and i wrote a wrapper 
around cloudmonkey that does configuration by reading a config file. 
However, config export and import would be great. The export piece can 
be broken down to Gobal Settings, Zone, Storage and Network - each of 
these could be a separate file or 1 large file with delineation

This woulf definitely help with CI i'm going to undertake soon.

Thanks.
ilya

The latest CloudMonkey 5.3.0 returns non-zero exit code when a CloudStack API fails.

It would be great to discuss if there are any specific error code it should return based on the failed API, as I don’t know which ones to use. If I know that, I should be able to easily implement it.

On shell (not as interpreter) it prints without any color and outputs errors on stderr. Errors are more verbose now that include any cs error code and HTTP error code with the returned json. Any discussions on this on what/how we can improve this or any patch contributions would be great.

By config, do you mean global settings? I want to keep the tool simply but I’m thinking of refactoring CloudMonkey’s code so people can write plugins for it that could control it’s behaviour, color/themes, output styles etc.

Rohit,

1) When executing cloudmonkey in batch mode, it would be nice to provide 
exit codes - but this may not be something easily done due to how 
cloudstack responds.

2) One other major useful feature would be, dump all configs from one CS 
host as json, import configs into another. This way configuration of new 
CS hosts becomes really easy.

Thanks for making this awesome tool even better

Regards
ilya

During tab completion to make text bold on VT100/XTerm ($TERM) based
terminals we will need to first make sure that color is set to true,
boldness on terminal is achieved using special escape characters doing
that when the text change dynamically (as you press tab tab) is tricky
and can cause issues so I've avoided such text/color effects.

I'm planning to refactor cloudmonkey in future so that people will be
able to write them own plugins for cloudmonkey ( that would control
color output, themes, output formats etc). With that aim I want to keep
the tool simple and not do a lot of things.

Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming!

Hi Rohit,

Another small improvement I just thought about:  When using tab completion
to list the arguments, have the required arguments bolded.

I know you can already see the required arguments with "help," but if it's
not a lot of effort to implement having them marked with tab completion
would be great.


Thank You,

Re: Any more CloudMonkey improvements you want to see?

Posted by Rohit Yadav <ro...@shapeblue.com>.

Hi Logan,

CloudMonkey does not handle requests on each API basis so it's hard to
know what to display besides the uuid values during autocompletion. So,
I implemented in such a way to look for a key like "name" or
"description" and print that besides uuid. This helps cloudmonkey to
automatically deal with any new API as they are discovered.

The only way to fix such cases would be to deal with them case by case
basis but that makes the code complex. It a general issue for all APIs,
I'll explore in future if there are ways to automatically deal with such
cases.

Re: Any more CloudMonkey improvements you want to see?

Hi Rohit,

The only thing I can think of is offering descriptions for UUIDs for
more of the arguments when using tab completion (like it does not with
template names).  This really helps avoid having to look in the GUI or
make other calls all the time.

Off the top of my head, match the "publicipid" UUID to an IP address,
for example:

create remoteaccessvpn publicipid=<tab>

abcdefg-123456-abcde...   100.100.100.100
hijklmno-789011-hijklm...   100.100.100.101

Thank You,

Hi Sebastien,

I think it's a good idea to allow users to enter human readable text and let cloudmonkey figure out uuid stuff, it's tricky to get it right I'll see if we can implement it in future.

Cheers.

Any ideas on how we can actually implement this and also people may not even remember the names of these args and they may want autocompletion for that as well? Right now with autocompletion enabled (set paramcompletion true), one can easily tab tab on an arg that is of uuid, boolean (and a special case account param) type and cloudmonkey lists uuids with names so one can pick a uuid for a suitable name.

If we want to do autocompletion of names and which then translate to uuids is sort of doable but it will require a lot of background list API calls and a translation layer which can slow down cloudmonkey, and there is a corner case that an entity got removed and the name to uuid translation layer in cloudmonkey won’t know which uuid to pick and fail (few people may find it alright).

Re: Any more CloudMonkey improvements you want to see?

Posted by Sebastien Goasguen <ru...@gmail.com>.

I will put one in:

would be nice to be able to reference entities by name in addition to uuid.
using uuid is quite cumbersome.

for example

cloudmonkey deploy virtualmachine template='foo' serviceoffering='bar' keypair='toto'


etc…

Re: Any more CloudMonkey improvements you want to see?

I'm trying to use cloudmonkey in some scripts and find it hard to check if
there was anything returned or not.

Would it be possible to have cloudmonkey not return an extra newline if
there's no results?

Example of current behaviour:

[jenkins@packer-master ~]$ cloudmonkey list templates templatefilter=self
name=packer-centos-6.6-60gb

( note this extra empty line )

[jenkins@packer-master ~]$


Expected behaviour:

[jenkins@packer-master ~]$ cloudmonkey list templates templatefilter=self
name=packer-centos-6.6-60gb

[jenkins@packer-master ~]$

Glad it got fixed now, for now please build/install/use the latest from master until 5.3.1 is released.

I¹ve confirmed that the import of readline causes the funky characters on
a RHEL/CentOS hosts.  From looking at the fix that you checked in, I¹ll be
able to put in a safe workaround (as I can¹t pull down from master on the
host in particular) by setting TERM to anything *other* than (anything
beginning with) ³xterm², like, say, vt100 as you list in the fix.

For anyone else that comes across this, until there¹s a newer release of
CloudMonkey, if you have this issue just set the environment variable TERM
to something like ³vt100² in your script before any cloudmonkey calls and
hopefully things will work as expectedŠ

Rohit - thanks for looking into this.  Definitely a strange error that
took some digging to find the causeŠ

Re: Any more CloudMonkey improvements you want to see?

Hi Ian,

Thanks for reporting this, I found the issue it’s caused by readline. The chars are output just by importing it. You can confirm this on your shell by: python -c 'import readline’ > output.txt (read this text file).

The escape chars I was talking about earlier are caused when output is colored. I did not know about the above. It’s fixed in master, please build/install from latest master and confirm if it’s fixed? Thanks.

CloudMonkey 5.3.0 does not output colored text when run on bash or in scripts, so if you’re using in those scripts you don’t need to set color off.

Re: Any more CloudMonkey improvements you want to see?

Platform = RHEL 6.4.  As I noted in my original message, I have disabled
colors in both ~/.cloudmonkey/config AND on the command line.  I
definitely do not want the escape characters since this is intended for a
bash script.

I am confused in that you started talking about colors (which, as I’ve
noted, I’ve disabled), then switched to talking about the prompt.  I’ve
changed the prompt to a different character anyway to test, and there was
no change in output.

What’s the next step here?  Can you reproduce this issue?

Re: Any more CloudMonkey improvements you want to see?

Posted by Rohit Yadav <ro...@shapeblue.com>.

Hi Ian,

Not sure which platform you’re on, those are escape characters that help print output with colours. Disable colors for normal UTF8 output;

set color false

You can also change the prompt with any other utf8 character; for example simply:

set prompt >

Hope this helps.

Re: Any more CloudMonkey improvements you want to see?

Posted by Ian Forde <if...@marketo.com>.

(Just joined the list and had this forwarded to me - please forgive if
threading is broken)

Quick Cloudmonkey question (CS 4.3.1, Cloudmonkey 5.3.0) - I noticed in
the archives there are questions regarding cloudmonkey and embedded
control characters. We’re still getting them and can’t get rid of them.
For example… (note that the “Prompt” line does have the monkey icon - hope
it shows up here…)

In ~/.cloudmonkey/config:

	[ui]
	color = false
	prompt = 🐵>
	display = default

From CLI:

[root@sjmpc-hv2 cloudmanager_utils]# cloudmonkey list domains
display=default color=false id=bd9ed4bb-7bb0-4c85-bb91-3bc2a28671f2
count = 1
domain:
id = bd9ed4bb-7bb0-4c85-bb91-3bc2a28671f2
name = ops-test
haschild = False
level = 1
parentdomainid = d2c768d7-5b10-11e4-9b04-2c44fd848fa4
parentdomainname = ROOT
path = ROOT/ops-test
===========================================================================
=====
[root@sjmpc-hv2 cloudmanager_utils]#



But send the output into a file, and we see the following:

^[[?1034hcount = 1
domain:
id = bd9ed4bb-7bb0-4c85-bb91-3bc2a28671f2
name = ops-test
haschild = False
level = 1
parentdomainid = d2c768d7-5b10-11e4-9b04-2c44fd848fa4
parentdomainname = ROOT
path = ROOT/ops-test
===========================================================================
=====


Where the “^[[?1034h” bit is constantly output no matter what… it
basically makes us have to have bash hacks around almost every call of
cloudmonkey.  Is there a way to definitively make it NOT do this?
