In a scenario using multiple nodes, Steth is a stateless CLI and controller.
|
|
It knows each steth agent and will read config files, interact with OpenStack,
|
|
and sending instructions to agents when needed.
|
|
|
|
Steth Agent is introduced to manage processes or run commands. It should be
|
|
installed in each compute and network node, and their IPs should be specified
|
|
in the config file of steth controller.

Steth Agent

|
|
|
|
Listening on 0.0.0.0:9698 and waiting for the rpc request.
|
|
|
|
Note: for get_interface() agent API, we use ifconfig to get full information.
|
|
However, the output of ifconfig varies from a Linux distribution to another.
|
|
The API has only been tested on CentOS 6.5 and 7.0. Any other distribution has
|
|
not been tested. If it works, please let us know.
