Check infrastructure health with CIT

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A resource handler is the starting point for provisioning a server and for running remote scripts through a platform’s own channel, so its connection is worth checking on a schedule rather than when an order fails. This example uses Cloud Management Platform (CMP) Continuous Infrastructure Testing to do that. For CIT itself, see Continuous Infrastructure Testing (CIT).

Prerequisites

You are a super admin in CMP.
A resource handler is already configured.
You have its resource handler ID.

Create the test

Go to Admin > Continuous Infrastructure Testing.
Select Add > New Action Test.
Select CloudBolt Plug-in > + Add a New CloudBolt Plug-in.
Enter a name, then scroll to the bottom of the form.
For File Location, select Enter code later.
Select Create.

Add the code

Find the new test in the Tests list and select its name.
Under Actions, select the action name to open the plugin for editing.
Replace the default code with the following, then save.

from common.methods import set_progress
from resourcehandlers.models import ResourceHandler
from utilities.logger import ThreadLogger

logger = ThreadLogger(__name__)


def run(*args, **kwargs):
    rh = ResourceHandler.objects.get(id=int("{{ resource_handler }}"))
    rh = rh.cast()
    if rh.can_verify_connection:
        set_progress(f"Verifying connection to '{rh}'.")
        rh.verify_connection()
        set_progress(f"Successfully verified connection to '{rh}'.")

The plugin reads a resource handler ID from an action input, casts the handler to its concrete type, and calls verify_connection() on it if that handler supports connection checks.
