A plugin may provide a numeric enumeration for
state ids. Provide that for programmatic recognition
of events in addition to being able to combine the
available text.
Establish a config file for certain configuration parameters that
control service startup and things that are best managed via out
of band configuration file and easiest to do with a restart. For
now, implement control of http service binding.
From Lucio Seki
Currently, an empty collection has no 'item' entry, a singleton value, or
a list depending on whether it has 0, 1, or more children. Modify this so
that at least 1 and more children are consistent.
Add a draft event log interface along with an ipmi implementation.
This requires current git master of pyghmi. Release of pyghmi will
be done before this commit lands in a confluent release.
Present 'inventory/hardware/all/' hierarchy. Currently
only ipmi and 'all/all' works. The data structure may be amended in
the very near future as well.
While the native perl threading object will do join() on exit,
eventlet's variant does not. Fix this by manually hooking join() in
via atexit. Since this is an eventlet specific thing, it makes sense
to work the issue in code that patches in eventlet rather than in pyghmi
itself.
In changing to do multi-node, some flow was altered. Where it would
formerly cease execution, the changes made it continue. Add return
statements to match everywhere that return statements were effectively
removed.
Provide specific feedback to client when possible. When not possible,
at least get condition into the correct trace log and notify client of
condition.
When a noderange starts with '<' or '>', use the set of all nodes as basis for pagination.
Additionally, provide better feedback to client on noderange parsing issues. Also
implement natural sort in various places after doing it for the pagination.
Noderange syntax now has:
<number : skip first number of nodes matching noderange
>number: provide only number of nodes matching noderange
These operators are intended to be at the end of a noderange. For example:
n1-n8<4>3
That will skip n1-n4 and provide only 3 (n5, n6, n7)
+ operator generates an 'end node' from the nodename to the left
and adding the specified value to the number at the end. This is
as restrictive as the xCAT 2.x perl implementation to ensure best
compatibility.
Enhance noderange to implement:
attribute.name==value (also attribute.name=value) -- strict equality match
attribute.name=~value -- regular expression match
attribute.name!=value -- strict negative match
attribute.name!~value -- negative regular expression match
~nameexpression -- search by node name using regular expression
This also goes a step further by intelligently limiting searches when found to the right of @ or ,-.
The socket API was not wrapping enough output. Also fix 'databynode' reporting
for noderange based commands and have the 'sensor not found' event fall in that
realm.
