Events APIs

New in version 3.9

NOTE : glusterfs-selinux package would have to be installed for events feature to function properly when the selinux is in enforced mode. In addition to that, the default port to be used for eventsd has now been changed to 55555 and it has to lie between the ephemeral port ranges.

Set PYTHONPATH(Only in case of Source installation)

If Gluster is installed using source install, cliutils will get installed under /usr/local/lib/python.2.7/site-packages Set PYTHONPATH by adding in ~/.bashrc

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

Enable and Start Events APIs

Enable and Start glustereventsd in all peer nodes

In Systems using Systemd,

systemctl enable glustereventsd
systemctl start glustereventsd

FreeBSD or others, add the following in /etc/rc.conf

glustereventsd_enable="YES"

And start the glustereventsd using,

service glustereventsd start

SysVInit(CentOS 6),

chkconfig glustereventsd on
service glustereventsd start

Status

Status Can be checked using,

gluster-eventsapi status

Example output:

Webhooks:
None

+-----------+-------------+-----------------------+
| NODE      | NODE STATUS | GLUSTEREVENTSD STATUS |
+-----------+-------------+-----------------------+
| localhost |          UP |                    UP |
| node2     |          UP |                    UP |
+-----------+-------------+-----------------------+

Webhooks

Webhooks are similar to callbacks(over HTTP), on event Gluster will call the Webhook URL(via POST) which is configured. Webhook is a web server which listens on a URL, this can be deployed outside of the Cluster. Gluster nodes should be able to access this Webhook server on the configured port.

Example Webhook written in python,

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/listen", methods=["POST"])
def events_listener():
    gluster_event = request.json
    if gluster_event is None:
        # No event to process, may be test call
        return "OK"

    # Process gluster_event
    # {
    #  "nodeid": NODEID,
    #  "ts": EVENT_TIMESTAMP,
    #  "event": EVENT_TYPE,
    #  "message": EVENT_DATA
    # }
    print (gluster_event)
    return "OK"

app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=9000)

Test and Register webhook using following commands,

usage: gluster-eventsapi webhook-test [-h] [--bearer_token BEARER_TOKEN] url

positional arguments:
  url                   URL of Webhook

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --bearer_token BEARER_TOKEN, -t BEARER_TOKEN
                        Bearer Token

Example(Webhook server is running in 192.168.122.188:9000),

# gluster-eventsapi webhook-test http://192.168.122.188:9000/listen

+-----------+-------------+----------------+
| NODE      | NODE STATUS | WEBHOOK STATUS |
+-----------+-------------+----------------+
| localhost |          UP |             OK |
| node2     |          UP |             OK |
+-----------+-------------+----------------+

If Webhook status is OK from all peer nodes then register the Webhook using,

usage: gluster-eventsapi webhook-add [-h] [--bearer_token BEARER_TOKEN] url

positional arguments:
  url                   URL of Webhook

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --bearer_token BEARER_TOKEN, -t BEARER_TOKEN
                        Bearer Token

Example,

# gluster-eventsapi webhook-add http://192.168.122.188:9000/listen

+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| NODE      | NODE STATUS | SYNC STATUS |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| localhost |          UP |          OK |
| node2     |          UP |          OK |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+

Note: If Sync status is Not OK for any node, then make sure to run following command from a peer node when that node comes up.

gluster-eventsapi sync

To unsubscribe from events, delete the webhook using following command

usage: gluster-eventsapi webhook-del [-h] url

positional arguments:
  url         URL of Webhook

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Example,

gluster-eventsapi webhook-del http://192.168.122.188:9000/listen

Configuration

View all configurations using,

usage: gluster-eventsapi config-get [-h] [--name NAME]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  --name NAME  Config Name

Example output:

+--------------------+-------+
| NAME               | VALUE |
+--------------------+-------+
| log-level          | INFO  |
| port               | 55555 |
| disable-events-log | False |
+--------------------+-------+

To change any configuration,

usage: gluster-eventsapi config-set [-h] name value

positional arguments:
  name        Config Name
  value       Config Value

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Example output,

+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| NODE      | NODE STATUS | SYNC STATUS |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| localhost |          UP |          OK |
| node2     |          UP |          OK |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+

To Reset any configuration,

usage: gluster-eventsapi config-reset [-h] name

positional arguments:
  name        Config Name or all

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Example output,

+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| NODE      | NODE STATUS | SYNC STATUS |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| localhost |          UP |          OK |
| node2     |          UP |          OK |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+

Note: If any node status is not UP or sync status is not OK, make sure to run gluster-eventsapi sync from a peer node.

Add node to the Cluster

When a new node added to the cluster,

  • Enable and Start Eventsd in the new node using the steps mentioned above
  • Run gluster-eventsapi sync command from a peer node other than the new node.
