Hi Wen-Pei,
I haven't seen this in a while, it is certainly somewhat legacy. What
version of nox are you using? This was intended to create a quick-and-dirty
monitor page for the number of flows, but you should be able to modify to
whatever purpose you want - I found webservice calls to be easily
adaptable. Looking at it now, the main abstractions this script is missing
is one or two functions: something to get a dictionary mapping data source
names to int/float values (for harvest) and perhaps an additional one to get
the names as a list (for extrapolate_sources). It is somewhat clumsily
combined into a single reap function and two blocks of code to parse that
output.
The oldest version of that script I could find was customized for a specific
format of dpctl dump-tables, where the data looked like:
id: 2 name: linear n_flows: 12 max_flows: 100
table 0: name hash2 , max 131072, active 14, matched 0
table 1: name linear , max 100, active 0, matched 0
This has changed dramatically, as you mentioned. Using Open vSwitch's
version of this command (ovs-ofctl dump-tables) shows me something like
this:
Jul 03 00:04:06|00001|ofctl|INFO|connecting to unix:<bridge>
stats_reply (xid=0xe103ac66): flags=none type=3(table)
2 tables
0: hash : wild=0x00000, max=1048576, active=0
lookup=43921298, matched=43773778
1: classifier: wild=0x3fffff, max= 65536, active=10
lookup=0, matched=0
In practice, replacing the middle section of the harvest function with
anything that would parse that into "info = {'hash': 0, 'classifier': 10}"
would be sufficient. A regex is probably the classiest way, but something
ugly is a little quicker to see if the rest is working - for example, this
would likely suffice for the above:
for line in table:
if 'active' not in line: continue
name = line.split(':')[1].strip()
active = int(line.split('=')[-1])
info[name] = active
You would also have to make a modification to the extrapolate_sources
function such that the end result was "sources = ['hash', 'classifier']" (in
this case) - a simpler version of the parsing above (appending the name to a
list) would do the trick.
