Python bindings to the Monitoring API
=======================================
This is a client library for Monitoring built to interface with the Monitoring API. It
provides a Python API (the ``monclient`` module) and a command-line tool
(``mon``).
The Monitoring Client was written using the OpenStack Heat Python client as a framework.

Ubuntu Install
--------------
Requires:
- pip - version >= 1.4. python get-pip.py
Install It:
- sudo pip install python-monclient
Alternative Manual Install Steps:
- cd to your python-monclient repo
- sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
- python setup.py install
Command-line API
----------------
Installing this distribution gets you a shell command, ``mon``, that you
can use to interact with the Monitoring API server.
Usage:
mon
mon help
mon help <command>
mon -j <command>
This outputs the results in jason format. Normally output is in table format.
The monclient CLI needs the Monitoring API endpoint url and the OS_AUTH_TOKEN to pass to the
Monitoring API RESTful interface. This is provided through environment or CLI
parameters.
Environmental Variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Environmental variables can be sourced, or optionally passed in as CLI arguments.
It is easiest to source them first and then use the CLI.
When token and endpoint are known::
export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=XXX
export MON_API_URL=http://192.168.10.4:8080/v2.0/
When using Keystone to obtain the token and endpoint::
export OS_USERNAME=
export OS_PASSWORD=
export OS_TENANT_NAME=
export OS_AUTH_URL=
export OS_REGION_NAME=
When using Vagrant Environment for test which doesn't use Keystone::
export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=82510970543135
export OS_NO_CLIENT_AUTH=1
export MON_API_URL=http://192.168.10.4:8080/v2.0/
The Monitoring API will treat the auth token as the tenant ID when Keystone is not enabled, which is the case for the Vagrant develpment environment.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
``mon help``::
usage: mon [-j] [--version] [-d] [-v] [-k] [--cert-file CERT_FILE]
[--key-file KEY_FILE] [--ca-file CA_FILE] [--timeout TIMEOUT]
[--os-username OS_USERNAME] [--os-password OS_PASSWORD]
[--os-tenant-id OS_TENANT_ID] [--os-tenant-name OS_TENANT_NAME]
[--os-auth-url OS_AUTH_URL] [--os-region-name OS_REGION_NAME]
[--os-auth-token OS_AUTH_TOKEN] [--os-no-client-auth]
[--mon-api-url MON_API_URL] [--mon-api-version MON_API_VERSION]
[--os-service-type OS_SERVICE_TYPE]
[--os-endpoint-type OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE]
<subcommand> ...
Command-line interface to the mon-client API.
positional arguments:
<subcommand>
alarm-create Create alarm.
alarm-delete Delete alarm.
alarm-history List alarm state history.
alarm-list List alarms for this tenant.
alarm-patch Patch the alarm.
alarm-show Describe the alarm.
alarm-update Update the alarm.
measurement-list List measurements for the specified metric.
metric-create Create metric.

notification-list List notifications for this tenant.
notification-show Describe the notification.
notification-update Update notification.
bash-completion Prints all of the commands and options to stdout.
help Display help about this program or one of its
subcommands.
optional arguments:
-j, --json output raw json response
--version Shows the client version and exits.
-d, --debug Defaults to env[MON_DEBUG].
-v, --verbose Print more verbose output.
-k, --insecure Explicitly allow the client to perform "insecure" SSL
(https) requests. The server's certificate will not
be verified against any certificate authorities. This
option should be used with caution.
--cert-file CERT_FILE Path of certificate file to use in SSL connection.
This file can optionally be prepended with the
private key.
--key-file KEY_FILE Path of client key to use in SSL connection.This
option is not necessary if your key is prepended to
your cert file.
--ca-file CA_FILE Path of CA SSL certificate(s) used to verify the
remote server's certificate. Without this option the
client looks for the default system CA certificates.

Python API
----------
There's also a complete Python API.
In order to use the python api directly, you must first obtain an auth token and
identify the monitoring api endpoint.
The api_version matches the version of the Monitoring API. Currently it is 'v2_0'.
When calling the commands, refer to monclient.v2_0.shell.py 'do_<command>'
to see the required and optional fields for each command.
Refer to this example in python-monclient/client_api_example.py::
from monclient import client
import monclient.exc as exc
import time
api_version = '2_0'
endpoint = 'http://192.168.10.4:8080/v2.0'
kwargs = {
'token': '12345678'
}
# construct the mon client
mon_client = client.Client(api_version, endpoint, **kwargs)
# call the metric-create command
dimensions = {'instance_id': '12345', 'service': 'hello'}
fields = {}
fields['name'] = 'cindy1'
fields['dimensions'] = dimensions
fields['timestamp'] = time.time()
fields['value'] = 222.333
try:
resp = mon_client.metrics.create(**fields)
except exc.HTTPException as he:
print(he.code)
print(he.message)
else:
print(resp)
