xcathmc.sh is a xCAT console wrapper needed to be placed in the
confluent consoles plugin directory. Talking with Jarrod, it was
decided that confluent should stay stand-alone and xCAT should ship
this and related "glue" items in a separate RPM. The empty 'console'
directory should be owned by the confluent RPM
If a web application in a wider domain sets a cookie that python
doesn't like, a CookieError would be raised to ruin the whole request.
Address by subclassing SimpleCookie to catch the cookie error and
set an empty Morsel rather than fail out. This allows the errant
cookie to be ignored while still being able to check for the cookie
that we actually care about.
The change to allow configmanager to log traces
erroneously broke due to use of 'import .. as' in
circular imports. Skip 'as' and the problem does not occur.
When confetty runs in a UTF-8 terminal, things are fine. However python
assumes ascii only when piped. Catch the situation and force utf-8
encoding rather than erroring out in such a circumstance
When a change callback handler raises an exception,
log it and move on to next handler. This prevents
the handler from screwing up the caller or fellow
callback handlers. Unfortunately this means that
no one notices the issue until checking the trace
log file, but it produces more peculiar behavior
as it stands without this change.
If a session was attempted but failed before creation, a trace was thrown.
Fix this by catching the scenario and passing, since the desired effect is
already there.
Clarify that the data is in UTF-8 where applicable. It is expected
that clients are capable of handling UTF-8 for now. Additionally,
the HTML api explorer handling of numeric data is fixed.
When a log object is used as a 'dumb' file target, show the origin of the
output. The motivation here is that 'print' statements are intended to
be an unusual event that should be easily tracked down and eliminated
once their specific use has concluded.
In xcatd, running '-f' means a lot of mysterious output that is hard
to manage as they frequently print out variable contents without
searchable context. For example, if in xcatd someone randomply prints out
a varibale with a nodename, we might see a stray:
n1
With this change (together with previous changes), the same statement
results in stdout log appearing like:
Jan 19 14:20:54 File "/opt/confluent/lib/python/confluent/plugins/hardwaremanagement/ipmi.py", line 364, in _dict_sensor
print nodename: n1
A plugin is now allowed to define a collection. The sensors
hierarchy is added as the first path to allow plugin curated
collections. ipmi plugin updated to list items in those
collections
For exploring the api, a write-only attribute presents difficulty. Address this by allowing
plugins to return a '' value and have ipmi plugin return that value to enable things
like the web api explorer.
Previously some rather uncomfortable looking output would be emitted at someone trying to restart
confluent if not running. Be nicer and recognize when service is not running and a stop attempt is made.
Plugins may implement bootmode as appropriate. Currently, the only
example usage is how IPMI can indicate BIOS style versus UEFI style
boot.
Additionally, limitations of the ChoiceMessage base object around
handling multi-parameter pieces of data are addressed.
When the behavior fix for exiting on error was put in, it caused it to fail
exiting when remote disconnects. Address by showing that the console
is definitely not active as well as exit being required now.
After implementing timestamps, error data was erroneously persisted. Address
by deleting the state once consumed in constructing the relevant status string.
The buffer age was not working as intended
The fix to exit on error exited overly eagerly
The log replay failed to report a third value if file did not exist.
For certain scenarios (e.g. wcons), having a path to get in and communicate data from the outside.
For starters, have a 'GETWINID' directive for wcons to use to fetch the unambiguous window id
to use for xwininfo tricks. TODO includes concepts from xtcd.pl that enabled things like warr
To facilitate a clean coordinated shutdown, create a verb so that a termination can be done
and know when it is completed. Only allow for the 'special' case of 'skipauth', where unix domain
socket connection is in hand and only root or the service owner can access.
As it heads into RC, will start using the tags and
overly simplifying things in the same way xCAT
revs versions even without changes for the sake
of consistency
When logging was changed from none to full, it would always
start and immediately abort connecting to start again.
Change this by deciding which connection liveness strategy
to use based on how many settings changed. If just logging
changes, then connect only if not connected or connecting.
If more changes, then skip that kinder strategy and go straight
to reconnecting.
