Need HQU help to setup a mass process monitor

ebailey · ‎04-20-2008

Hi

I noticed that in the new hqu plugin section one can create a mass http monitor and I am hoping that I can use something similar to create a mass process monitor so I don't have to create the process monitor one by one. I cant find any docs regarding how groovy works in regards to existing hq services so I am guessing with my settings - this is what I tried to use to create a process monitor that is is looking for the puppetd process on every server

import org.hyperic.hq.hqu.rendit.util.HQUtil
import org.hyperic.hq.hqu.rendit.helpers.ResourceHelper

def overlord = HQUtil.getOverlord()
def rhelp = new ResourceHelper(overlord)
def resourceType = rhelp.findResourcePrototype('Process')
def group = rhelp.findViewableGroups().find { it.name == 'All Platforms' }

def created = []
group.getResources().each { platform ->
def newService = resourceType.createInstance(platform, "$platform.name Puppet Process Monitor", overlord,
[process.query : State.Name.eq=puppetd])
created << newService
}

created.name

and here is the meat of the error after a very long stack trace

Caused by: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, /tmp/gcon22555.tmp: 12: illegal colon after argument expression;
solution: a complex label expression before a colon must be parenthesized @ line 12, column 65.
1 error

It seems that groovy does not like

"[process.query : State.Name.eq=puppetd])"

Any idea what I should use? Thanks!

I used a method similar to this to mass load a bunch of InetAddress Ping
services.. It was.. well, groovy.

I think you need quotes around your string:

[ process.query : "State.Name.eq=puppetd" ]

I tried your suggestion

import org.hyperic.hq.hqu.rendit.util.HQUtil
import org.hyperic.hq.hqu.rendit.helpers.ResourceHelper

def overlord = HQUtil.getOverlord()
def rhelp = new ResourceHelper(overlord)
def resourceType = rhelp.findResourcePrototype('Process')
def group = rhelp.findViewableGroups().find { it.name == 'All Platforms' }

def created = []
group.getResources().each { platform ->
def newService = resourceType.createInstance(platform, "$platform.name Puppet Process Monitor", overlord,
[process.query : "State.Name.eq=puppetd"])
created << newService
}

and got the following error

Caused by: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, /tmp/gcon22895.tmp: 12: illegal colon after argument expression;
solution: a complex label expression before a colon must be parenthesized @ line 12, column 16.
1 error

Tried quotes around "State.Name" as well and no luck. I am going to create a ticket and do some groovy research.

Have you found any docs related to using groovy with services other then http checks?

Thanks

You'll also need to quote the key of that map. Only simple strings
can leave the quotes off.

['process.query' : 'State.Name.eq=puppetd']

i did as suggested

import org.hyperic.hq.hqu.rendit.util.HQUtil
import org.hyperic.hq.hqu.rendit.helpers.ResourceHelper

def overlord = HQUtil.getOverlord()
def rhelp = new ResourceHelper(overlord)
def resourceType = rhelp.findResourcePrototype('Process')
def group = rhelp.findViewableGroups().find { it.name == 'All Platforms' }

def created = []
group.getResources().each { platform ->
def newService = resourceType.createInstance(platform, "$platform.name Puppet Process Monitor", overlord,
['process.query' : 'State.Name.eq=puppetd'])
created << newService
}

and now I get the following

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method getResources() on null object
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.NullObject.invokeMethod(NullObject.java:77)
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper.invokePogoMethod(InvokerHelper.java:757)

at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter.invokeMethod0(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:193)
at gcon23253.run(gcon23253.tmp:10)

Any ideas?

Is "group.getResources().each { platform ->" the correct way to call the object for 'all platforms?
