python-monasca-events 0.0.1.dev7

Python bindings to the Monasca Events API
=======================================

This is a client library for Monasca built to interface with the Monasca Events API. It
provides a Python API (the ``monasca-events`` module) and a command-line tool
(``monasca-events``).

The Monasca Events Client was written using the OpenStack Heat Python client as a framework.


Ubuntu Install
--------------

Manual Install Steps:
- cd to your python-monasca-events repo
- sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
- python setup.py install

Command-line API
----------------
Installing this distribution gets you a shell command, ``monasca-events``, that you
can use to interact with the Events API server.

Usage:
monasca-events

monasca-events help

monasca-events help <command>

monasca-events -j <command>

This outputs the results in json format. Normally output is in table format.


Environmental Variables
----------------

Environmental variables can be sourced, or optionally passed in as CLI arguments.
It is easiest to source them first and then use the CLI.

When token and endpoint are known::

``export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=XXX``

When using Keystone to obtain the token and endpoint::
```
export OS_USERNAME=
export OS_PASSWORD=
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=
export OS_AUTH_URL=
export OS_REGION_NAME=
```

When using Vagrant Environment with middleware disabled::
```
export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=82510970543135
export OS_NO_CLIENT_AUTH=1
```
The Monasca Events API will treat the auth token as the tenant ID when Keystone is not enabled.

You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
``monasca-events help``::

<subcommand> ...
```

Command-line interface to the monasca-events API.
```
positional arguments:
<subcommand>
help Display help about this program or one of its
subcommands.

optional arguments:
-j, --json output raw json response
--version Shows the client version and exits.
-d, --debug Defaults to env[MONASCA_DEBUG].
-v, --verbose Print more verbose output.
-k, --insecure Explicitly allow the client to perform "insecure" SSL
(https) requests. The server's certificate will not
be verified against any certificate authorities. This
option should be used with caution.
--cert-file CERT_FILE Path of certificate file to use in SSL connection.
This file can optionally be prepended with the
private key.
--key-file KEY_FILE Path of client key to use in SSL connection.This
option is not necessary if your key is prepended to
your cert file.
--os-cacert OS_CACERT Specify a CA bundle file to use in verifying a
TLS (https) server certificate. Defaults to
env[OS_CACERT]. Without either of these, the
client looks for the default system CA
certificates.
--timeout TIMEOUT Number of seconds to wait for a response.
--os-username OS_USERNAME Defaults to env[OS_USERNAME].
--os-password OS_PASSWORD Defaults to env[OS_PASSWORD].
--os-project-id OS_PROJECT_ID
Defaults to env[OS_PROJECT_ID].
--os-project-name OS_PROJECT_NAME
Defaults to env[OS_PROJECT_NAME].
--os-domain-id OS_DOMAIN_ID
Defaults to env[OS_DOMAIN_ID].
--os-domain-name OS_DOMAIN_NAME
Defaults to env[OS_DOMAIN_NAME].
--os-auth-url OS_AUTH_URL Defaults to env[OS_AUTH_URL].
--os-region-name OS_REGION_NAME
Defaults to env[OS_REGION_NAME].
--os-auth-token OS_AUTH_TOKEN
Defaults to env[OS_AUTH_TOKEN].
--os-no-client-auth Do not contact keystone for a token. Defaults to
env[OS_NO_CLIENT_AUTH].
--monasca-api-url MONASCA_API_URL
Defaults to env[MONASCA_API_URL].
--monasca-api-version MONASCA_API_VERSION
Defaults to env[MONASCA_API_VERSION] or 2_0
--os-service-type OS_SERVICE_TYPE
Defaults to env[OS_SERVICE_TYPE].
--os-endpoint-type OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE
Defaults to env[OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE].
