sandbox
=======
Dev env for StackTach development. Uses Notigen event generator and yagi.
Note: read the [Operators Guide etherpad](https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stv3_ops_guide) for deployment notes.
Prerequisites:
make sure you have a working python dev environment (2.7+ ideally)
including virtualenv.
Install rabbitmq and mysql-server.
TL;DR:
handle the prerequisites above.
git clone https://github.com/stackforge/stacktach-sandbox
cd sandbox
create a mysql database to use
set the database url appropriately in winchester.yaml
./build.sh
Using Vagrant for fast local provisioning:
* Install [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)
* Install [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
* git clone https://github.com/StackTach/sandbox.git
* cd sandbox/vagrant
* vagrant up
* vagrant ssh
* cd stacktach-sandbox
* ./build.sh
Tweaks:
You can create a `local.sh` to override the defaults:
SOURCE_DIR=git # where the StackTach repos are cloned
VENV_DIR=.venv # name of the .venv
The `build.sh` script will create clone each of the StackTach projects
into the `$SOURCE_DIR` directory (so you can work on them in a running env).
The virtualenv will be created and each of the projects
(and their dependencies) installed into it.
A `screen` session is started, based on `screenrc.oahu` or
`screenrc.winchester` which will start the
`notigen` event generator. The event generator simulated OpenStack
notifications and pumps them into rabbitmq. `yagi-event` is also started
with the `yagi.conf` configuration file. This will read events from
the rabbit queue and save them to local files. The working directory
and archive directory for `shoebox` is specified in `yagi.conf`.
The sandbox environment configures `shoebox` to archive notifications
to local .json files and tarball them up after the directory reaches
20GB.
To have shoebox upload to Swift, you are required to create a credentials file
in the `.../sandbox/` directory (like in
`.../git/sandbox/etc/sample_rax_credentials.conf`) Call it
`swift_credentials.conf` or alter the `shoebox.conf` file accordingly. If
you don't have access to a Swift server, like CloudFiles, read
the config file for details on disabling this feature.
