dtool lookup server plugin for receiving elastic-search update notifications

Project description

Features

  • Listen to elastic search notifications from an S3-compatible storage backend

Introduction

dtool is a command line tool for packaging data and metadata into a dataset. A dtool dataset manages data and metadata without the need for a central database.

However, if one has to manage more than a hundred datasets it can be helpful to have the datasets’ metadata stored in a central server to enable one to quickly find datasets of interest.

The dtool-lookup-server provides a web API for registering datasets’ metadata and provides functionality to lookup, list and search for datasets.

This plugin enables the dtool-lookup-server to listen to elastic search notifications for the registration and deregistration of datasets.

Installation

Install the dtool lookup server dependency graph plugin

$ pip install dtool-lookup-server-notification-plugin

Setup and configuration

Configure plugin behavior

The plugin needs to know how to convert a bucket name into a base URI. The environment variable DTOOL_LOOKUP_SERVER_NOTIFY_BUCKET_TO_BASE_URI is used to specify that conversion, e.g.:

DTOOL_LOOKUP_SERVER_NOTIFY_BUCKET_TO_BASE_URI={"bucket": "ecs://bucket"}

It is also advisable to limit access to the notification listener to a certain IP range. Use:

DTOOL_LOOKUP_SERVER_NOTIFY_ALLOW_ACCESS_FROM=192.168.0.0/16

to specify the allowed remote network. To specify a single IP, use:

DTOOL_LOOKUP_SERVER_NOTIFY_ALLOW_ACCESS_FROM=192.168.1.1/32

Configure elastic search integration in NetApp StorageGRID

Create a new endpoint with URI ` https://myserver:myport/elastic-search ` and URN ` arn:<mysite>:es:::<domain-name>/notify/all ` Note that <mysite> and <domain-name> can be chose arbitrarily. notify/all is appended to the URI and must point to the route of the notify function.

The bucket needs to be configured to support search integration. Use the following XML template

<MetadataNotificationConfiguration>
    <Rule>
        <ID>dtool</ID>
        <Status>Enabled</Status>
        <Prefix></Prefix>
        <Destination>
           <Urn>urn:mysite:es:::domain-name/notify/all</Urn>
        </Destination>
    </Rule>
</MetadataNotificationConfiguration>

Querying server plugin configuration

The request

$ curl -H "$HEADER" http://localhost:5000/elastic-search/config

will return the current notification plugin configuration with all keys in lowercase

{
  "allow_access_from": "0.0.0.0/0",
  "bucket_to_base_uri": {"bucket": "s3://bucket"},
  "version": "0.1.0"
}

See dtool_lookup_server_dependency_graph_plugin.config.Config for more information.
