Re: [Gluster-devel] Chnage in exit codes of #gluster volume heal command

It will help in a monitoring script to capture the heal details. Please let me know your inputs. I have the same question Pranith has. In addition, I would recommend considering using --xml and that picking out the field you want to look at with a quick xml parser, and then going with that directly. More stable than watching for a specific return code. An example of how to parse the xml can be found in: https://github.com/purpleidea/puppet-gluster/blob/master/files/xml.py (although there are surely other better ways too!)

More stable than watching for a specific return code. Parsing XML to get one bit of information doesn't seem like a great idea. If the script needs exact counts then sure, parse away, but if all it needs to know is whether any are non-zero then what's wrong with having that reflected in the exit code? That's far easier for a script to interpret, and there's plenty of precedent for using exit codes this way. ___ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@gluster.org http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel

Parsing an exit code for 2 vs. 4 instead of 2 vs. zero and then doing something based on that IMO is a bit flimsy. I agree with checking if a code is non-zero is highly useful. ___ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@gluster.org http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
