Cluster Python API

Project Description

The purpose of this question is first to research, if we already have a python API available to be used in scripts to query status and details in the running cluster. If not already available the first purpose is to get a draft version of such an API. If it is already available the second purpose is to implement some useful examples for SAP workloads.

The API we are referring here is not the python API used by resource agents. But there are so much situation where you need to script with calling multiple crm* tools to figure out.

For SAP workloads (and we assume not only for SAP) it is helpful to have a stable way to figure out cluster information without calling multiple tools and parsing output and retuen-codes like done in bash scripts.

      Uyuni implemented the concept of cluster last year. Adding new cluster types is a matter of implement an API interface in a Salt module, which tells Uyuni how to work with that kind of cluster, e. g. do not reboot all the nodes at once, update servers sequentially, drain nodes before updating and/or rebooting, etc.

      Here are the details: https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/wiki/Cluster-Provider-development

    Symbol Relations by hli

    Description

    There are tools to build function call graphs based on parsing source code, for example, cscope.

    This project aims to achieve a similar goal by directly parsing the disasembly (i.e. objdump) of a compiled binary. The assembly code is what the CPU sees, therefore more "direct". This may be useful in certain scenarios, such as gdb/crash debugging.

    Detailed description and Demos can be found in the README file:

    Supports x86 for now (because my customers only use x86 machines), but support for other architectures can be added easily.

    Tested with python3.6

    Goals

    Any comments are welcome.

    Small healthcheck tool for Longhorn by mbrookhuis

    Project Description

    We have often problems (e.g. pods not starting) that are related to PVCs not running, cluster (nodes) not all up or deployments not running or completely running. This all prevents administration activities. Having something that can regular be run to validate the status of the cluster would be helpful, and not as of today do a lot of manual tasks.

    As addition (read enough time), we could add changing reservation, adding new disks, etc. --> This didn't made it. But the scripts can easily be adopted.

    This tool would decrease troubleshooting time, giving admins rights to the rancher GUI and could be used in automation.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    At the end we should have a small python tool that is doing a (very) basic health check on nodes, deployments and PVCs. First attempt was to make it in golang, but that was taking to much time.

    Overview

    This tool will run a simple healthcheck on a kubernetes cluster. It will perform the following actions:

    • node check: This will check all nodes, and display the status and the k3s version. If the status of the nodes is not "Ready" (this should be only reported), the cluster will be reported as having problems

    • deployment check: This check will list all deployments, and display the number of expected replicas and the used replica. If there are unused replicas this will be displayed. The cluster will be reported as having problems.

    • pvc check: This check will list of all pvc's, and display the status and the robustness. If the robustness is not "Healthy", the cluster will be reported as having problems.

    If there is a problem registered in the checks, there will be a warning that the cluster is not healthy and the program will exit with 1.

    The script has 1 mandatory parameter and that is the kubeconf of the cluster or of a node off the cluster.

    The code is writen for Python 3.11, but will also work on 3.6 (the default with SLES15.x). There is a venv present that will contain all needed packages. Also, the script can be run on the cluster itself or any other linux server.

    Installation

    To install this project, perform the following steps:

    • Create the directory /opt/k8s-check

    mkdir /opt/k8s-check

    • Copy all the file to this directory and make the following changes:

    chmod +x k8s-check.py
