Configuration Service

The Configuration Service provides a centralized persistent store for any configuration file used in the TMT Software System. All versions of configuration files are retained, providing a historical record of each configuration file.

Note that in order to use the APIs described here, the Location Service (csw-location-server) and Configuration Service Server needs to be running somewhere in the local network and the necessary configuration, environment variables or system properties should be defined to point to the correct host and port number(s) for the Location Service nodes.

This service will be part of the observatory cluster and exposes Rest endpoints that can be accessed over HTTP. Component developers can use the csw-config-client library in their code. The library wraps the low level communication with Configuration Service Server and exposes simple to use methods to access and manage configuration files.

Dependencies

To use the Configuration Service without using the framework, add this to your build.sbt file:

sbt

libraryDependencies += "com.github.tmtsoftware.csw" %% "csw-config-client" % "4.0.0"

Rules and Checks

• The config file path must not contain !#<>$%&'@^``~+,;= or any whitespace character
• If the input file is > 10MB or has lot of non ASCII characters, then for optimization, server will archive it in annex store.
• Large and binary files can be forced to go to the ‘annex’ store by using a annex=true flag in the create operation.
• API functions accept date-time values in UTC timezone. (e.g. 2017-05-17T08:00:24.246Z)

Model Classes

• ConfigData : Represents the contents of the files being managed. It wraps a stream of ByteString.
• ConfigFileInfo : Represents information about a config file stored in the Config Service.
• ConfigFileRevision : Represents information about a specific version of a config file.
• ConfigId : Represents an identifier associated with a revision of a configuration file, often generated by create or update methods.
• ConfigMetadata : Represents metadata information about the Config Server.
• FileType : Represents the type of storage for a configuration file. Currently two types are supported Normal(small, text files) and Annex(Large, Binary files).

API Flavors

The Configuration Service is used to provide the runtime settings for components. When a component is started, it will use a limited “clientAPI” to obtain the “active” configuration from the Configuration Service, and use those settings for its execution.

To change the active configuration, an administrative tool with access to the full “admin API” must be used. These tools would have the ability to create, delete, and update configurations, as well as retrieve past configurations and their history. Any time a new configuration is to be used by a component, the user must use one of these tools (via CLI, perhaps) to set the active configuration for a component. Since a history of active configurations is maintained by the service, the settings of each component each time it is run can be retrieved, and the system configuration at any moment can be recreated.

Some of the methods provided by the admin API, the methods that change the Config Server content, are protected so that a record can be kept about who is making the modifications. This is done by using a token obtained from the Authentication and Authorization Service. See Admin Protected Routes for more information.

• clientAPI : Must be used in Assembly and HCD components. Available functions are: {exists | getActive}
• adminAPI : Full functionality exposed by Configuration Service Server is available with this API. Expected to be used administrators. Available functions are: {create | update | getById | getLatest | getByTime | delete | list | history | historyActive | setActiveVersion | resetActiveVersion | getActiveVersion | getActiveByTime | getMetadata | exists | getActive}

Accessing clientAPI and adminAPI

The ConfigClientFactory exposes functions to get the clientAPI and adminAPI. Both the functions require the Location Service instance which is used to resolve the ConfigServer.

Scala

copysource//config client API
val clientApi: ConfigClientService = ConfigClientFactory.clientApi(actorSystem, locationService)
//config admin API
val adminApi: ConfigService = ConfigClientFactory.adminApi(actorSystem, locationService, factory)

Java

copysource//config client API
final IConfigClientService clientApi = JConfigClientFactory.clientApi(actorSystem, clientLocationService);
//config admin API
final IConfigService adminApi = JConfigClientFactory.adminApi(actorSystem, clientLocationService, mocks.factory());

exists

This function checks if the file exists at specified path in the repository. It returns Future of a Boolean, whether the file exists or not.

Scala

copysource//construct the path
val filePath = Paths.get("/tmt/trmobone/assembly/hcd.conf")

val doneF = async {
  // create file using admin API
  await(adminApi.create(filePath, ConfigData.fromString(defaultStrConf), annex = false, "First commit"))

  //check if file exists with config service
  val exists: Boolean = await(clientApi.exists(filePath))
  exists shouldBe true
}
Await.result(doneF, 5.seconds)

Java

copysourcePath filePath = Paths.get("/tmt/trmobone/assembly/hcd.conf");

// create file using admin API
adminApi.create(filePath, ConfigData.fromString(defaultStrConf), false, "commit config file").get();

Boolean exists = clientApi.exists(filePath).get();
Assert.assertTrue(exists);

getActive

This function retrieves the currently active file for a given path from config service. It returns a Future of Option of ConfigData.

Scala

copysourceval defaultStrConf: String = "foo { bar { baz : 1234 } }"
val doneF = async {
  // construct the path
  val filePath = Paths.get("/tmt/trmobone/assembly/hcd.conf")

  await(adminApi.create(filePath, ConfigData.fromString(defaultStrConf), annex = false, "First commit"))

  val activeFile: Option[ConfigData] = await(clientApi.getActive(filePath))
  await(activeFile.get.toStringF(actorSystem)) shouldBe defaultStrConf
}
Await.result(doneF, 5.seconds)

Java

copysourcefinal String defaultStrConf = "foo { bar { baz : 1234 } }";
// construct the path
Path filePath = Paths.get("/tmt/trmobone/assembly/hcd.conf");

adminApi.create(filePath, ConfigData.fromString(defaultStrConf), false, "First commit").get();

ConfigData activeFile = clientApi.getActive(filePath).get().orElseThrow();
Assert.assertEquals(activeFile.toJConfigObject(actorSystem).get().getString("foo.bar.baz"), "1234");

create

Takes input ConfigData and creates the configuration in the repository at a specified path

Managing active versions

Following API functions are available to manage the active version of a config file. In its lifetime, a config file undergoes many revisions. An active version is a specific revision from a file’s history and it is set by administrators.

• historyActive : Returns the history of active revisions of the file at the given path for a range of period specified by from and to. The size of the list can be restricted using maxResults.
• setActiveVersion : Sets the “active version” to be the version provided for the file at the given path. If this method is never called in a config’s lifetime, the active version will always be the version returned by create function.
• resetActiveVersion : Resets the “active version” of the file at the given path to the latest version.
• getActiveVersion : Returns the revision ID which represents the “active version” of the file at the given path.
• getActiveByTime : Returns the content of active version of the file existed at given instant

Admin Protected Routes

The following Config Server routes are Admin Protected. To use these routes, the user must be authenticated and authorized.

• create
• update
• delete
• setActiveVersion
• resetActiveVersion

csw-config-client provides factory to create admin config service which allows access to these protected routes. This requires you to implement TokenFactory interface. Currently csw-config-cli is the only user of config service admin api. Refer to CliTokenFactory which implements TokenFactory interface.
