Cloudmesh InventoryCloudmesh InventoryIntroductionCloudmesh ManualInstalation and DocumentationInstalation with pipInstalation from sourceConfigurationBUGSManpageIntroductionOften we need a convenient way to manage inventories for Computers and Services. One way to do this is in databases or flat files, or dedicated services. Cloudmesh Inventory is designed to be at this time super simple and provides a list of computer entries that are used to document if a service is running on it. It uses a very small set of metadata to keep it extremely simple. All attribute values are strings. An example isg001:
  cluster: gregor
  comment: test
  host: g001
  ip: 127.0.0.1
  label: g001
  metadata: None
  name: g001
  owners: gvonlasz
  project: cloudmesh
  service: computeWe explain our intended use of the attributes nextAttributeDescriptionclusterThe name of the cluster this entry is associated withdescriptiona descriptioncommenta commenthostthe unique name of the hostipthe ip addressnamea unique hostname for the entrylabela unique label that may include more than the hostnamemetadataa string in which metadata can be placedownersa list of owners of the machine (comma separated)projecta string representiing a project nameservicea string representing the serviceosname of the operating systemCloudmesh ManualThe manual for cloudmesh can be found athttps://cloudmesh.github.io/cloudmesh-manual/Cloudmesh Inventory, however can also be used as standalone product.Instalation and DocumentationMake sure you have a new version of python and pip. We tested with with versions greater thenpython 3.7.3pip 19.0.3Instalation with pipYou will need the followng other cloudmesh modules before you can
install via pip:$pipinsatllcloudmesh-common
$pipinsatllcloudmesh-cmd5
$pipinsatllcloudmesh-inventoryInstalation from sourceAs developer we recommend yo use the instalation from source. For this we have a convenient cloudmesh installer program that outomates fetching the source and does the install for you.
To install it form source use:$ mkdir ~/cm
$ cd ~/cm

$ pip install cloudmesh-installer    
$ cloudmesh-installer git clone inventory
$ cloudmesh-installer install inventoryThis will clone a number of repositories in thecmdirectory and
install them withpipfrom them.ConfigurationYour inventory will be located at~/.cloudmesh/inventory.yamlAn example file will look as follows:g001:
  cluster: gregor
  comment: test

Arguments:
  NAMES     Name of the resources (example i[10-20])
  FORMAT    The format of the output is either txt,
            yaml, dict, table [default: table].
  OWNERS    a comma separated list of owners for this resource
  LABEL     a unique label for this resource
  SERVICE   a string that identifies the service
  PROJECT   a string that identifies the project
  SOURCE    a single host name to clone from
  COMMENT   a comment

Options:
   -v       verbose mode
   --keyfile=KEYFILE      Keyfile to assign [default: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub]

Description:

      add -- adds a resource to the resource inventory
      list -- lists the resources in the given format
      delete -- deletes objects from the table
      clone -- copies the content of an existing object
               and creates new once with it
      set   -- sets for the specified objects the attribute
               to the given value or values. If multiple values
               are used the values are assigned to the and
               objects in order. See examples
      map   -- allows to set attributes on a set of objects
               with a set of values

Examples:

  cms inventory add x[0-3] --service=openstack
      adds hosts x0, x1, x2, x3 and puts the string
      openstack into the service column

  cms inventory list
      lists the repository

  cms inventory set x[3-4] temperature to 32
      sets for the resources x3, x4 the value of the
      temperature to 32

  cms inventory set x[7-8] ip to 128.0.0.[0-1]
      sets the value of x7 to 128.0.0.0
      sets the value of x8 to 128.0.0.1

  cms inventory set x1 services to bridge,kubernetes --listvalue
      sets the value of x1 to [bridge, kubernetes]
      The --listvalue option indicates the value set is a list

  cms inventory clone x[5-6] from x3
      clones the values for x5, x6 from x3
