Admin Utility
=============

Introduction
------------
Purpose of this script is to build a framework which can be leveraged to build
utilities to help the on-field ops in system debugging.


Adding custom functions
-----------------------
Refer to the security groups example for reference implementation under,
admin/plugins/nsx_v3/resources/securitygroups.py


Adding new functions is fairly straightforward:

* Define the function under appropriate package. We use neutron callbacks to provide hooks.
  So your function definition should be like,

::
  def function(resource, event, trigger, **kwargs)


* Add the Resources and Operations enums if they don't exist.

::
  class Operations(object):
      NEUTRON_CLEAN = 'neutron_clean'

::
 nsxv3_resources = {
    constants.SECURITY_GROUPS: Resource(constants.SECURITY_GROUPS, ops)
 }


* In resource.py, add the function to the callback registry.

::
    registry.subscribe(neutron_clean_security_groups,
                       Resources.SECURITY_GROUPS.value,
                       Operations.NEUTRON_CLEAN.value)


* To test, do

::
    cd python-nsxadmin/

    sudo pip install -e .

    nsxadmin -r <resource_name_you_added> -o <operation_you_added>


TODO
----

* Use Cliff
* Auto complete command line args.


Directory Structure
-------------------
admin/

  plugins/
      common/
        Contains code specific to different plugin versions.
      nsx_v3/
        resources/
          Contains modules for various resources supported by the
          admin utility. These modules contains methods to perform
          operations on these resources.


Installation
------------
::
  sudo pip install -e .

Usage
-----
::
 nsxadmin -r <resource> -o <operation>


Example
-------
::
     $ nsxadmin -r security-groups -o list
