#

Sample user-defined service.

from core.service import CoreService
from core.service import ServiceMode
#

Custom CORE Service

class MyService(CoreService):
#

Service Attributes

#

Name used as a unique ID for this service and is required, no spaces.

    name = "MyService"
#

Allows you to group services within the GUI under a common name.

    group = "Utility"
#

Executables this service depends on to function, if executable is not on the path, service will not be loaded.

    executables = ()
#

Services that this service depends on for startup, tuple of service names.

    dependencies = ()
#

Directories that this service will create within a node.

    dirs = ()
#

Files that this service will generate, without a full path this file goes in the node’s directory. e.g. /tmp/pycore.12345/n1.conf/myfile

    configs = ("myservice1.sh", "myservice2.sh")
#

Commands used to start this service, any non-zero exit code will cause a failure.

    startup = ("sh %s" % configs[0], "sh %s" % configs[1])
#

Commands used to validate that a service was started, any non-zero exit code will cause a failure.

    validate = ()
#

Validation mode, used to determine startup success.

  • NON_BLOCKING - runs startup commands, and validates success with validation commands
  • BLOCKING - runs startup commands, and validates success with the startup commands themselves
  • TIMER - runs startup commands, and validates success by waiting for “validation_timer” alone
    validation_mode = ServiceMode.NON_BLOCKING
#

Time in seconds for a service to wait for validation, before determining success in TIMER/NON_BLOCKING modes.

    validation_timer = 5
#

Period in seconds to wait before retrying validation, only used in NON_BLOCKING mode.

    validation_period = 0.5
#

Shutdown commands to stop this service.

    shutdown = ()
#

On Load

    @classmethod
    def on_load(cls):
#

Provides a way to run some arbitrary logic when the service is loaded, possibly to help facilitate dynamic settings for the environment.

        pass
#

Get Configs

    @classmethod
    def get_configs(cls, node):
#

Provides a way to dynamically generate the config files from the node a service will run. Defaults to the class definition and can be left out entirely if not needed.

        return cls.configs
#

Generate Config

    @classmethod
    def generate_config(cls, node, filename):
#

Returns a string representation for a file, given the node the service is starting on the config filename that this information will be used for. This must be defined, if “configs” are defined.

        cfg = "#!/bin/sh\n"

        if filename == cls.configs[0]:
            cfg += "# auto-generated by MyService (sample.py)\n"
            for ifc in node.netifs():
                cfg += 'echo "Node %s has interface %s"\n' % (node.name, ifc.name)
        elif filename == cls.configs[1]:
            cfg += "echo hello"

        return cfg
#

Get Startup

    @classmethod
    def get_startup(cls, node):
#

Provides a way to dynamically generate the startup commands from the node a service will run. Defaults to the class definition and can be left out entirely if not needed.

        return cls.startup
#

Get Validate

    @classmethod
    def get_validate(cls, node):
#

Provides a way to dynamically generate the validate commands from the node a service will run. Defaults to the class definition and can be left out entirely if not needed.

        return cls.validate
