CRTT 0.8.1

Support

• This tool is intended to support all kinds of RESTful server, from Redfish to…

Version

0.8.1

Installation

Install with pip3:

pip3 install CRTT

Quick Start

from CRTT.get_nodes import GET_NODE
get_node=GET_NODE(host, client_app_ver, port)
get_node.scan_node()

Or use build-in sample:

`./test.py <https://github.com/trelay/CRTT/blob/master/CRTT/test/test.py>`_

Arguments & CLI options:

• –help: Print help message and exit

• –config-dir: Path to a config directory to pull *.conf files from.

• –config-file: Path to a config file to use. Multiple config files can be specified, with values in later files taking precedence.

• –CLI-comp_file: The url response data comparing file

• –CLI-cycles: How many times we scan the nodes

• –CLI-time_to_stop: CLI_TIME_TO_STOP: If both this option and –CLI-cycles are set, the one which comes first will take effect.

• –CLI-retry: How many times retries after failure

Response check from URL:

The conf file for checking response from URL is defined in file value_check.conf by default, but you can also define it when run CLI, refer the help:

[MemoryModule]      #The name of current url, can be found by key "Name"

SizeGB= 16          #The size of memory of current url

VoltageVolt= 1.21 < 1.30 < x < 1.40 < 1.51          #The threshold check format, it should have LowerThresholdFatal,     LowerThresholdWarning, UpperThresholdWarning, UpperThresholdCritical

If the node_name or the check_key is not defined properly, it won’t check without any warning.

For Advanced user:

This application provides a config file to let user customize, modify. One can change the setting in file CRTT.conf, here is the help for this document:

Modules defined:

[get_nodes.py]:

This file contains classes and functions: GEN_URL, GET_NODE, URL_REQUEST and Responses check:

GEN_URL: This class is to build complete URL.

A complete URL to interact with RESTful server is like this: :

http://10.204.29.221:8888/redfish/v1/Managers/1

here is example to use:

url=GEN_URL('10.204.29.221')
gen_url=GEN_URL('10.204.29.221')
url=gen_url.get_url('/redfish/v1/Managers/1')

GET_NODE: Scan and find all the child nodes from root(is node_path=None) or any node that is defined in function “scan_node”, and put them into a list, during this scanning and searching, one can compare the value returned from RESTful server . url_list contains all the urls after scanning.

URL_REQUEST: Send Request to RESTful server, generally, the request should be one of GET, PUT, POST, DELETE. This class can handle all http errors. Example:

url_request=URL_REQUEST('http://10.204.29.221:8888/redfish/v1/Managers/1',username,password)
url_request.get_req(value)   #Value: a python dict

Reponse_check: It has two functions: 1. Check the response from RESTful server which defined in file [url_dict.conf] 2. Check if request time exceeds the limit.

[retry.py]:

This file is an independent module, it’s a decorator and used to retry a function in a particular error occurs. retry calling the decorated function using an exponential backoff. Example:

@retry(ExceptionToCheck=ValueError,  tries=3, delay=1, backoff=1,stoponerror=False, logger=None)
def foo():
   try:
      raise ValueError
   except ValueError as ve:
      raise
