• Created recipe with ZopeSkel [Mustapha Benali].

Supported options

The recipe supports the following options:

sections

List of enabled supervisor sections. Defaults to “http ctl rpc”

plugins

Extra eggs you want the recipe to install. ie: superlance

port

The port nummber supervisord listen to. ie: 9001. Can be given as host:port like 127.0.0.1:9001. Defaults to 127.0.0.1:9001

user

The username required for authentication to supervisord

password

The password required for authentication to supervisord

supervisord-conf

Full path to where the recipe puts the supervisord configuration file. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/parts/${name}/supervisord.conf

childlogdir

The full path of the directory where log files of processes managed by Supervisor while be stored. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/log

logfile

The full path to the supervisord log file. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/log/supervisord.log

pidfile

The pid file of supervisord. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/supervisord.pid

logfile-maxbytes

The maximum number of bytes that may be consumed by the activity log file before it is rotated. Defaults to 50MB

logfile-backups

The number of backups to keep around resulting from activity log file rotation. Defaults to 10

loglevel

The logging level. Can be one of critical, error, warn, info, debug, trace, or blather. Defaults to info

nodaemon

If true, supervisord will start in the foreground instead of daemonizing. Defaults to false

serverurl

The URL that should be used to access the supervisord server. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:9001

programs

A list of programs you want the supervisord to control. One per line. The format of a line is as follow:

priority process_name [(process_opts)] command [[args] [directory] [[redirect_stderr]]

[user]]

The [args] is any number of arguments you want to pass to the command It has to be given between [] (ie.: [-v fg]). See examples below. If not given the redirect_stderr defaults to false. If not given the directory option defaults to the directory containing the the command. The optional process_opts argument sets additional options on the proccess in the supervisord configuration. It has to be given between () and must contain options in key=value format with spaces only for separating options - ie.: (autostart=false startsecs=10). The optional user argument gives the userid that the process should be run as (if supervisord is run as root).

In most cases you will only need to give the 4 first parts:

priority process_name command [[args]]

eventlisteners

A list of eventlisteners you’d like supervisord to run as subprocesses to subscribe to event notifications. One per line. Relevant supervisor documentation about events at http://supervisord.org/manual/current/events.html.

processname events command [[args]]

events is a comma-separated list (without spaces) of event type names that the listener is “interested” in receiving notifications for.

Supervisor provides one event listener called memmon which can be used to restart supervisord child process once they reach a certain memory limit. Note that you need to define the variables user, password and serverurl (described in the supported options above) to be able to use the memmon listener. An example of defining a memmon event listener, which analyzes memory usage every 60 seconds and restarts as needed could look like:

MemoryMonitor TICK_60 ${buildout:bin-directory}/memmon [-p process_name=200MB]

env-path

The environment variable PATH, e.g. /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

Example usage

We’ll start by creating a buildout that uses the recipe:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = supervisor
... index = http://pypi.python.org/simple
... [zeo]
... location = /a/b/c
... [instance1]
... location = /e/f
... [instance2]
... location = /g/h
...
... [supervisor]
... recipe = collective.recipe.supervisor
... plugins =
...       superlance
... port = 9001
... user = mustapha
... password = secret
... serverurl = http://supervisor.mustap.com
... programs =
...       10 zeo ${zeo:location}/bin/runzeo ${zeo:location}
...       20 instance1 ${instance1:location}/bin/runzope ${instance1:location} true
...       30 instance2 (autostart=false) ${instance2:location}/bin/runzope true
...       40 maildrophost ${buildout:bin-directory}/maildropctl true

... eventlisteners =
...       Memmon TICK_60 ${buildout:bin-directory}/memmon [-p instance1=200MB]
...       HttpOk TICK_60 ${buildout:bin-directory}/httpok [-p site1 -t 20 http://localhost:8080/]
... """)

Chris Mc Donough said:

Note however that the "instance" script Plone uses to start Zope when
passed "fg" appears to use os.system, so the process that supervisor is
controlling isnt actually Plone, it's the controller script. This means
that "stop" and "start" tend to not do what you want. It's far better to
use "runzope", which actually execs the Python process which becomes Zope

Running the buildout gives us:

>>> print system(buildout)
Getting distribution for 'zc.recipe.egg'.
...
Installing supervisor.
Getting distribution for 'superlance'.
...
Getting distribution for 'supervisor'.
 ...
Generated script '/sample-buildout/bin/httpok'.
Generated script '/sample-buildout/bin/memmon'.
Generated script '/sample-buildout/bin/crashmail'.
Generated script '/sample-buildout/bin/supervisord'.
Generated script '/sample-buildout/bin/supervisorctl'.
<BLANKLINE>

Check that we have the ‘crashmail’, ‘memmon’ and ‘httpok’ scripts from superlance:

>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'bin')
-  buildout
-  crashmail
-  httpok
-  memmon
-  supervisorctl
-  supervisord

You can now just run the supervisord like this:

$ bin/supervisord

and control it with supervisorctl:

$ bin/supervisorctl

Memory monitoring via supervisor’s memmon event listener will be executed via supervisord with the following:

$ bin/memmon

now, get a look to the generated supervisord.conf file:

>>> cat('parts', 'supervisor', 'supervisord.conf') #doctest: +REPORT_NDIFF

and if we look to generated supervisord script we will see that the configuration file is given as argument with the ‘-c’ option:

>>> cat('bin', 'supervisord')
...
<BLANKLINE>
...
<BLANKLINE>
import sys; sys.argv.extend(["-c","/sample-buildout/parts/supervisor/supervisord.conf"])
<BLANKLINE>
import supervisor.supervisord
<BLANKLINE>
if __name__ == '__main__':
    supervisor.supervisord.main()

The control script contains all specified options, like server url and username. This allows to run it as is:

>>> cat('bin', 'supervisorctl')
...
<BLANKLINE>
...
<BLANKLINE>
import sys; sys.argv[1:1] = ["-c","/sample-buildout/parts/supervisor/supervisord.conf","-u","mustapha","-p","secret","-s","http://supervisor.mustap.com"]
<BLANKLINE>
import supervisor.supervisorctl
<BLANKLINE>
if __name__ == '__main__':
    supervisor.supervisorctl.main(sys.argv[1:])

Memmon delegates all work to the egg’s memmon Python script itself:

>>> cat('bin', 'memmon')
...
<BLANKLINE>
...
<BLANKLINE>
import superlance.memmon
<BLANKLINE>
if __name__ == '__main__':
    superlance.memmon.main()

The log directory is created by the recipe:

>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'var')
d  log

You can also specify a custom port to run the supervisor on, and the control script will automatically try to connect to the specified port:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = supervisor
... index = http://pypi.python.org/simple/
...
... [supervisor]
... recipe = collective.recipe.supervisor
... port = 9005
... programs =
...       50 other ${buildout:bin-directory}/other [-n 100] /tmp
... """)

Here we specified that the supervisor will be launched on port 9005. We can see that this is also set in the control script:

>>> _ = system(buildout)
>>> cat('bin', 'supervisorctl')
...
<BLANKLINE>
...
<BLANKLINE>
import sys; sys.argv[1:1] = ["-c","/sample-buildout/parts/supervisor/supervisord.conf","-u","","-p","","-s","http://localhost:9005"]
<BLANKLINE>
import supervisor.supervisorctl
<BLANKLINE>
if __name__ == '__main__':
    supervisor.supervisorctl.main(sys.argv[1:])
