Installation
You can install the Watcher CLI with the following command:
pip install python-watcherclient
Configuration
Create a creds.rc file containing your Openstack credentials:
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://<yourkeystone-server>:5000/v3
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID=default
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_ID=default
export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=yourpassword
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=yourprojectname
Source these credentials into your current shell session:
# source creds.rc
You should be able to launch the following command which gets the list of previously created Audit Templates:
# watcher audit-template-list
+------+------+
| UUID | Name |
+------+------+
+------+------+
You can view the entire list of available Watcher commands and options using this command:
# watcher help
Troubleshootings
If any watcher command fails, you can obtain more details with the –debug option :
# watcher --debug audit-template-list
Also make sure that the watcher user has been declared in your Openstack keystone :
# openstack user list
and that the watcher endpoints have been declared as well :
# openstack endpoint list
