Getting Started

System Requirements

• golang 1.7+ - needed only for building

Operating systems

All OSs currently supported by plugin:

• Linux/amd64

Installation

You can get the pre-built snaptel binary for your OS and architecture at Snap CLI's GitHub Releases page.

To build the snap cli:

Fork https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap-cli Clone repo into $GOPATH/src/github.com/intelsdi-x/:

$ git clone https://github.com/<yourGithubID>/snap-cli.git

Build the plugin by running make within the cloned repo:

$ make

This builds the snaptel in /build/$GOOS/$GOARCH

Examples

Load and unload plugins, create and start a task

In one terminal window, run snapteld (log level is set to 1 and signing is turned off for this example):

$ snapteld --log-level 1 --log-path '' --plugin-trust 0

prepare a task manifest file, for example, task.json with following content:

{
    "version": 1,
    "name": "sample",
    "schedule": {
        "type": "simple",
        "interval": "15s"
    },
    "workflow": {
        "collect": {
            "metrics": {
                "/intel/mock/foo": {},
                "/intel/mock/bar": {},
                "/intel/mock/*/baz": {}
            },
            "config": {
                "/intel/mock": {
                    "user": "root",
                    "password": "secret"
                }
            },
            "process": null,
            "publish": [
                {
                    "plugin_name": "file",                            
                    "config": {
                        "file": "/tmp/collected_swagger"
                    }
                }
            ]             
        }
    }
}

prepare a workflow manifest file, for example, workflow.json with the following content:

{
    "collect": {
        "metrics": {
            "/intel/mock/foo": {}
        },
        "config": {
            "/intel/mock/foo": {
                "password": "testval"
            }
        },
        "process": [],
        "publish": [
            {
                "plugin_name": "file",
                "config": {
                    "file": "/tmp/rest.test"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

and then in another terminal:

1. load a collector plugin
2. load a processing plugin
3. load a publishing plugin
4. list the plugins
5. list running plugins
6. swap plugins
7. list loaded metrics
8. list loaded metrics with details
9. list a specific metric including all versions
10. list a specific metric with its version
11. list a plugin config
12. unload the plugins
13. create a task using task manifest
14. create a task using workflow
15. create a single run task
16. list tasks
17. watch a task
18. export a task
19. stop a task

$ snaptel plugin load /opt/snap/plugins/snap-plugin-collector-mock1
$ snaptel plugin load /opt/snap/plugins/snap-plugin-processor-passthru
$ snaptel plugin load /opt/snap/plugins/snap-plugin-publisher-mock-file
$ snaptel plugin list
$ snaptel plugin list --running
$ snaptel metric list
$ snaptel metric list --verbose
$ snaptel metric get -m /intel/mock/foo
$ snaptel metric get -m /intel/mock/foo -v <version>
$ snaptel plugin config get <plugin_type>:<plugin_name>:<plugin_version>
$ snaptel plugin config get -t <plugin_type> -n <plugin_name> -v <plugin_version>
$ snaptel plugin unload collector <plugin_name> <plugin_version>
$ snaptel task create -t mock-file.json
$ snaptel task create -w workflow.json -i 1s
$ snaptel task create -t mock-file.yml --count 1
$ snaptel task list
$ snaptel task watch <task_id>
$ snaptel task export <task_id>
$ snaptel task stop <task_id>

Basic Authentication

Basic authentication is an optional authentication handler for Snap CLI.

Referring to docs/BASIC_AUTHENTICATION.md for details.

Secure Plugin Communication

Snap framework communicates with plugins (collectors, processors and publishers) over gRPC protocol. This communication can be secured by opening TLS channels and providing certificates to authenticate both sides: plugins and Snap daemon.

Snap CLI exposes the following flags to allow loading the plugin together with paths to its key and certificate files which are required to setup TLS communication:

$ snaptel plugin load --help

USAGE:
   snaptel plugin load [command options] [arguments...]

OPTIONS:
   --plugin-asc value, -a value       The plugin asc
   --plugin-cert value, -c value      The path to plugin certificate file
   --plugin-key value, -k value       The path to plugin private key file
   --plugin-ca-certs value, -r value  List of CA cert paths (directory/file) for plugin to verify TLS clients

Referring to docs/TLS_SECURE_PLUGIN_COMMUNICATION.md for details.
