NCM: Components (II)

‹ Components are written inPerl

‹ Each component can implement two methods:

‹ Configure():

„ startup, or when there was a CDBtypically invoked on configuration change

„ Mandatory method

‹ Unconfigure():

„ invoked when a component is to be removed

„ Optional method most of the components wont need to implement it.

Component (simplified) example

sub Configure {

system(/sbin/service myservice reload); 

}

}

if ($changed) {

#notify affected (SysV) services if required

my ($self,$config) = @_;

#access configuration information

#(re)generate and/or update local config file(s)

$self->Fail (not supported") unless ($arch eq i386);

my $arch=$config->getValue('/system/architecture); # NVA API

open (myconfig,/etc/myconfig); 

NCM: Components (III)

NVA API: configuration access library

‹ This library allows hierarchical configuration structure access on the client side

‹ Most popular methods: „ $value=$config->getValuenel//kerionvers(tsme/ys;)

„ If ($config->elementExists($path)) {} else {}

„ $element=$config->getElement($path);

„ while ($element->hasNextElement()) { my $newel=$element->getNextElement(); ... }

NCM support libs

Core functions: „ $self->log(@array):write @array to components log file „ $self->report(@array):write @array to log and stdout. „ $self->verbose(@array) $self->debug(@array):verbose/debug output „ $self->warn(@array):writes a[WARN]message, increases # of warnings „ $self->error(@array):writes an[ERROR]message, increases # of errors

Advanced support libraries available (coming from CERNs SUE tool): „ Configuration file manipulation „ Advanced file operations „ Process management „ Exception management libraries

„ framework and front-end for executing components (via cron, cdispd, or manually) „ Dependency ordering of components

‹ cdispd(Configuration Dispatch Daemon)

„ Monitors the config profile, and invokes registered components via thencm-ncdif there were changes

‹ ncm-query
