#47538 RFE: repl-monitor.pl plain text output, cmdline config options
Closed: wontfix None Opened 11 years ago by rmeggins.

repl-monitor.pl only outputs HTML - need a text based output that is easy to read on a dumb 80x24 terminal. Also need an output that is easy to parse by cmd line tools such as awk/sed/perl to produce reports.

Also need a way to pass in all config on the cmd line - need to be able to run without a config file.

typo?
{{{
328 # process the con=mand line config params
}}}
otherwise, looks good.

Also, can you give an example of how to run it, and what the output looks like?

Now, you have can use a config file, command line directives, or both. Previously you had to use a config file.

If you skip the config file, you must enter at least one connection(-c). The other new arguments are: alias(-a), it's just a way to give an instance a name, nothing more. The color arg(-k) only applies to the HTML report. The syntax for these args is the same as the config file:

Here is an example of using just command line args on a single master & single consumer:

repl-monitor.pl -a M1=localhost.localdomain:389 -c "localhost.localdomain:389:cn=directory manager:password:" --text
Directory Server Replication Status (Version 1.1)

New patch is attached...

repl-monitor.pl -a M1=localhost.localdomain:389 -c "localhost.localdomain:389:cn=directory manager:password:" --text
Directory Server Replication Status (Version 1.1)

Could we have an option to prompt for the password? Having the password on the command line isn't ideal since it can be seen with 'ps' as well as being stored in the shell history.

New password prompt option added. The new prompt feature also stores the previous password to make handling multiple connections, with the same password, more efficient.

New patch attached...

Looks like the formatting is off in the new bindpwd handling code.

passwdPrompt needs to set the terminal to no echo, as is done in the other perl scripts that prompt for a password, in DSUtil::get_password_from_file

You have my ack. But this is just from my curiosity...

The colour apple green is used for "both unknown". Is it ok? For instance, could there be "no color" or white for such a case?
{{{
$allcolors {0} = "#ccffcc"; #apple green
$allcolors {5} = "#ffffcc"; #cream yellow
$allcolors {60} = "#ffcccc"; #pale pink
}}}
{{{
969 if ((!$s_maxcsn || $s_maxcsn eq "Unavailable") &&
970 (!$c_maxcsn || $c_maxcsn eq "Unavailable")) {
971 $lag_str = "?:??:??";
972 $markcolor = &get_color (0); # Both unknown
}}}
(This is a minor comment. If it does not sound reasonable, please feel free to push your patch. ;)

Good idea. I've changed it, updated the legend key, and did a much needed update to the man page.

New patch attached.

Very nice! Thanks a lot, Mark!!

Although I also think making "unknown" color should be a good thing, I'm wondering keeping this distinction would be useful for the debugging purpose?
{{{
973 973 $lag_str = "?:??:??";
977 $lag_str = "- ?:??:??";
981 $lag_str = "+ ?:??:??";

974 $markcolor = "white"; # Both unknown
975 }
976 elsif ($s_maxcsn && (!$c_maxcsn || $c_maxcsn eq "Unavailable")) {
977 $lag_str = "- ?:??:??";
978 $markcolor = &get_color (36000); # assume consumer has big latency
979 }
980 elsif ((!$s_maxcsn || $s_maxcsn eq "Unavailable") && $c_maxcsn) {
981 $lag_str = "+ ?:??:??";
982 $markcolor = &get_color (1); # consumer is ahead of supplier
974 $markcolor = "white"; # True status unknown
}}}

Well adding the "everything is fine" color to an unknown state seems wrong to me, even if we know where one of the replicas status is. In fact, we really don't know what state the two replicas are in, so because of that we can not assume the "+" or "-" is even correct. I like what that code was trying to do, but it is just not accurate - it's a guess at what the state is. If anything it can be harmful, and that's why I removed it.

Ok! Thanks for the explanation. I agree if we should not trust it, it's safer not to put it.
