Gathering facts script

This script is designed for retrieving details for different type of services.

1- Gather all active L3 agents within a specific region. The process involves collecting information on all routers in the region, looping through each router, and identifying only the active L3 agents. The resulting data is stored in a list of dictionaries, which is then exported/json dumped to a file named Region_L3_active_agents.

To use the script, start by logging into the control plane or if you have a deploy host that has the admin priviliges to perform openstask tasks, become root and attach to the utility container.

Then execute the script

python3 gather_info.py

Note that the process may take some time as it involves checking numerous routers in the region. Once completed, a file named Region_L3_active_agents.json will be created in the same directory. The file contains information on all active L3 agents, each represented as a dictionary with the following details:

{"Router_UUID": <ID>,
"Domain_ID": <ID>
"Project_ID": <ID>,
"HA_status": "status",
"Host": <NET NODE>}

In cases a project has multiple routers, the script organizes and lists all routers for the same project consecutively within the file.

2- Gather all servers information depending on the image the user specified in the run, it checks if the server has the image as a boot from volume or it's an ephemeral disk, then it formolate the output as json file with the 2 types of dictionaries

To execute the script

python3 gather_info.py

If the image is boot from volume the object will look like:

{
        "Type": "Volume",
        "UUID": "UUID",
        "Project_ID": "UUID",
        "Image ID": "UUID",
        "Image Name": "IMAGE NAME",
        "Server UUID": "SERVER UUID"
}

if it's ephemeral disk

{
        "Type": "Server",
        "UUID": "UUID",
        "Project_ID": "UUID",
        "Image ID": "UUID",
        "Image Name": "IMAGE NAME",
}

Generate Wiki page(WIP)

Once the script is done you would need to copy over Region_L3_active_agents.json to your locall laptop and then you need to run another script called generate_wiki_page.py to generate a wiki page.

This script requires some arguments and without them it wont work

First install a required dependency

pip install atlassian-python-api

Required arguments as follow

Personal Access Tokens

This can be generate it from wiki if you clock on your account Settings, then clicking on Personal Access Tokens

Page ID

You will need to navigate to the folder that you want the page to be created in and then click on the 3 dots ...then click on Page information, in the link you will see that pageid appears and it has a number copy that and past it into the script run

Page title

Give you page a title, it should be unique and is not used inside the folder you are trying to create it in.

Page space

Lastly Page space should be passed as well to make sure the page is created in the correct place. For example if u want to create the page in the Service operation space then, ywhat u need to do is click on the service operation icon on wiki https://wiki.<DOMAIN>/display/TEST <= TEST is the page space for it.

To run the script

python3 generate_wiki_page.py <Personal Access Tokens> <Page ID> <Page title> <Page space>
