Viper Infrastructure Commander

Viper is a handy tool for easily running infrastructure management tasks and commands.

Viper CLI Examples.

Initialize current workspace (creates a viperdb.sqlite3 file)

viper init

# or remove or overwrite existing data with "-f" / "--force"

viper init -f

Load hosts from file

viper hosts:from-file tests/data/hosts.csv --indent 4

# or with a custom loader

viper hosts:from-file tests/data/hosts.json --loader viper.demo.loaders.json --indent 4

Load hosts from Python object

viper hosts:from-obj viper.demo.hosts.group1 --indent 4

Let's save the hosts

viper hosts:from-obj viper.demo.hosts.group1 > /tmp/hosts.json

Filter hosts

cat /tmp/hosts.json | viper hosts:filter viper.demo.filters.ip_starts_with_2 --indent 4

Assign tasks to the given hosts

cat /tmp/hosts.json | viper hosts:task viper.demo.tasks.ping --indent 4

Run the assigned tasks

cat /tmp/hosts.json | viper hosts:task viper.demo.tasks.ping | viper task-runners:run --indent 4

# or use a shortcut

cat /tmp/hosts.json | viper hosts:run-task viper.demo.tasks.ping --indent 4

Run tasks in parallel using multiple workers

cat /tmp/hosts.json | viper hosts:run-task viper.demo.tasks.ping --max-workers 50 --indent 4

Get the past task results of the hosts from DB

cat /tmp/hosts.json | viper hosts:task-results --indent 4 --debug

Or get the past task results by task

viper task:from-obj viper.demo.tasks.ping | viper task-results:by-task -i 4

# Or

viper task:from-obj viper.demo.tasks.ping | viper task:results -i 4

Let's save the result

viper task:from-obj viper.demo.tasks.ping | viper task:results > /tmp/results.json

Now filter the results by their status

# success
cat /tmp/results.json | viper task-results:filter viper.demo.filters.result_ok -i 4

# failed
cat /tmp/results.json | viper task-results:filter viper.demo.filters.result_errored -i 4

Pipe the results to a custom handler

cat /tmp/results.json | viper task-results:pipe viper.demo.handlers.print_status
