1) When executing cloudmonkey in batch mode, it would be nice to provide exit
codes - but this may not be something easily done due to how cloudstack
responds.
The latest CloudMonkey 5.3.0 returns non-zero exit code when a CloudStack API
fails.
Need to try this out to see on 5.3.0 if it maybe sufficient.
It would be great to discuss if there are any specific error code it should
return based on the failed API, as I don’t know which ones to use. If I know
that, I should be able to easily implement it.
On shell (not as interpreter) it prints without any color and outputs errors on
stderr. Errors are more verbose now that include any cs error code and HTTP
error code with the returned json. Any discussions on this on what/how we can
improve this or any patch contributions would be great.
2) One other major useful feature would be, dump all configs from one CS host
as json, import configs into another. This way configuration of new CS hosts
becomes really easy.
By config, do you mean global settings? I want to keep the tool simply but I’m
thinking of refactoring CloudMonkey’s code so people can write plugins for it
that could control it’s behaviour, color/themes, output styles etc.
Here is the use case i have. End user needs to setup new cloudstack
instance with zones, secondary and primary stores, templates, global
settings, etc... he knows most of the configs will be similar to another
env he has with slight differences.
If there would be a way to dump this setup in its entirety, modify few
configs that are global/zone/cluster/host/network specific and use it as
a template to deploy other envs.
I tend to setup new environments quite frequently and i wrote a wrapper
around cloudmonkey that does configuration by reading a config file.
However, config export and import would be great. The export piece can
be broken down to Gobal Settings, Zone, Storage and Network - each of
these could be a separate file or 1 large file with delineation
This woulf definitely help with CI i'm going to undertake soon.
Thanks.
