Ganeti remote API

=================

Documents Ganeti version |version|

.. contents::

Introduction

------------

Ganeti supports a remote API for enable external tools to easily

retrieve information about a cluster's state. The remote API daemon,

*ganeti-rapi*, is automatically started on the master node. By default

it runs on TCP port 5080, but this can be changed either in

``.../constants.py`` or via the command line parameter *-p*. SSL mode,

which is used by default, can also be disabled by passing command line

parameters.

Users and passwords

-------------------

``ganeti-rapi`` reads users and passwords from a file (usually

``/var/lib/ganeti/rapi/users``) on startup. Changes to the file will be

read automatically.

Each line consists of two or three fields separated by whitespace. The

first two fields are for username and password. The third field is

optional and can be used to specify per-user options. Currently,

``write`` is the only option supported and enables the user to execute

operations modifying the cluster. Lines starting with the hash sign

(``#``) are treated as comments.

Passwords can either be written in clear text or as a hash. Clear text

passwords may not start with an opening brace (``{``) or they must be

prefixed with ``{cleartext}``. To use the hashed form, get the MD5 hash

of the string ``$username:Ganeti Remote API:$password`` (e.g. ``echo -n

'jack:Ganeti Remote API:abc123' | openssl md5``) [#pwhash]_ and prefix

it with ``{ha1}``. Using the scheme prefix for all passwords is

recommended. Scheme prefixes are not case sensitive.

Example::

  # Give Jack and Fred read-only access

  jack abc123

  fred {cleartext}foo555

  # Give write access to an imaginary instance creation script

  autocreator xyz789 write

  # Hashed password for Jessica

  jessica {HA1}7046452df2cbb530877058712cf17bd4 write

.. [#pwhash] Using the MD5 hash of username, realm and password is

   described in :rfc:`2617` ("HTTP Authentication"), sections 3.2.2.2

   and 3.3. The reason for using it over another algorithm is forward

   compatibility. If ``ganeti-rapi`` were to implement HTTP Digest

   authentication in the future, the same hash could be used.

   In the current version ``ganeti-rapi``'s realm, ``Ganeti Remote

   API``, can only be changed by modifying the source code.

Protocol

--------

The protocol used is JSON_ over HTTP designed after the REST_ principle.

HTTP Basic authentication as per :rfc:`2617` is supported.

.. _JSON: http://www.json.org/

.. _REST: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer

HTTP requests with a body (e.g. ``PUT`` or ``POST``) require the request

header ``Content-type`` be set to ``application/json`` (see :rfc:`2616`

(HTTP/1.1), section 7.2.1).

A note on JSON as used by RAPI

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

JSON_ as used by Ganeti RAPI does not conform to the specification in

:rfc:`4627`. Section 2 defines a JSON text to be either an object

(``{"key": "value", …}``) or an array (``[1, 2, 3, …]``). In violation

of this RAPI uses plain strings (``"master-candidate"``, ``"1234"``) for

some requests or responses. Changing this now would likely break

existing clients and cause a lot of trouble.

.. highlight:: ruby

Unlike Python's `JSON encoder and decoder

<http://docs.python.org/library/json.html>`_, other programming

languages or libraries may only provide a strict implementation, not

allowing plain values. For those, responses can usually be wrapped in an

array whose first element is then used, e.g. the response ``"1234"``

becomes ``["1234"]``. This works equally well for more complex values.

Example in Ruby::

  require "json"

  # Insert code to get response here

  response = "\"1234\""

  decoded = JSON.parse("[#{response}]").first

Short of modifying the encoder to allow encoding to a less strict

format, requests will have to be formatted by hand. Newer RAPI requests

already use a dictionary as their input data and shouldn't cause any

problems.

PUT or POST?

------------

According to :rfc:`2616` the main difference between PUT and POST is

that POST can create new resources but PUT can only create the resource

the URI was pointing to on the PUT request.

Unfortunately, due to historic reasons, the Ganeti RAPI library is not

consistent with this usage, so just use the methods as documented below

for each resource.

For more details have a look in the source code at

``lib/rapi/rlib2.py``.

Generic parameter types

-----------------------

A few generic refered parameter types and the values they allow.

``bool``

++++++++

A boolean option will accept ``1`` or ``0`` as numbers but not

i.e. ``True`` or ``False``.

Generic parameters

------------------

A few parameter mean the same thing across all resources which implement

it.

``bulk``

++++++++

Bulk-mode means that for the resources which usually return just a list

of child resources (e.g. ``/2/instances`` which returns just instance

names), the output will instead contain detailed data for all these

subresources. This is more efficient than query-ing the sub-resources

themselves.

``dry-run``

+++++++++++

The boolean *dry-run* argument, if provided and set, signals to Ganeti

that the job should not be executed, only the pre-execution checks will

be done.

This is useful in trying to determine (without guarantees though, as in

the meantime the cluster state could have changed) if the operation is

likely to succeed or at least start executing.

``force``

+++++++++++

Force operation to continue even if it will cause the cluster to become

inconsistent (e.g. because there are not enough master candidates).

Parameter details

-----------------

Some parameters are not straight forward, so we describe them in details

here.

``ipolicy``

+++++++++++

The instance policy specification is a dict with the following fields:

.. pyassert::

  values of the instances:

  :pyeval:`constants.ISPEC_MEM_SIZE`

    The size in MiB of the memory used

  :pyeval:`constants.ISPEC_DISK_SIZE`

    The size in MiB of the disk used

``__version__`` (int, required)

  Must be ``1`` (older Ganeti versions used a different format for

  instance creation requests, version ``0``, but that format is no

  longer supported)

.. opcode_params:: OP_INSTANCE_CREATE

Earlier versions used parameters named ``name`` and ``os``. These have

been replaced by ``instance_name`` and ``os_type`` to match the

underlying opcode. The old names can still be used.

Job result:

.. opcode_result:: OP_INSTANCE_CREATE

``/2/instances/[instance_name]``

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

``DELETE``

~~~~~~~~~~

Deletes an instance.

It supports the ``dry-run`` argument.

``/2/instances/[instance_name]/info``

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It supports the following commands: ``GET``.

``GET``

~~~~~~~

Requests detailed information about the instance. An optional parameter,

``static`` (bool), can be set to return only static information from the

configuration without querying the instance's nodes. The result will be

a job id.

``/2/instances/[instance_name]/reboot``

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

``type`` defines the reboot type. ``soft`` is just a normal reboot,

without terminating the hypervisor. ``hard`` means full shutdown

(including terminating the hypervisor process) and startup again.

``full`` is like ``hard`` but also recreates the configuration from

ground up as if you would have done a ``gnt-instance shutdown`` and

``gnt-instance start`` on it.

``ignore_secondaries`` is a bool argument indicating if we start the

instance even if secondary disks are failing.

It supports the ``dry-run`` argument.

``/2/instances/[instance_name]/shutdown``

``osparams`` (dict)

  Dictionary with (temporary) OS parameters.

For backwards compatbility, this resource also takes the query

parameters ``os`` (OS template name) and ``nostartup`` (bool). New

clients should use the body parameters.

``/2/instances/[instance_name]/tags``

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Manages per-instance tags.

It supports the following commands: ``GET``, ``PUT``, ``DELETE``.

``GET``

~~~~~~~

Returns a list of tags.

Example::

    ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]

``PUT``

~~~~~~~

Add a set of tags.

The request as a list of strings should be ``PUT`` to this URI. The

result will be a job id.

It supports the ``dry-run`` argument.

``DELETE``

~~~~~~~~~~

Delete a tag.

In order to delete a set of tags, the DELETE request should be addressed

to URI like::

    /tags?tag=[tag]&tag=[tag]

It supports the ``dry-run`` argument.

``/2/jobs``

+++++++++++

The ``/2/jobs`` resource.

It supports the following commands: ``GET``.

``GET``

~~~~~~~

Returns a dictionary of jobs.

Returns: a dictionary with jobs id and uri.

If the optional bool *bulk* argument is provided and set to a true value

(i.e. ``?bulk=1``), the output contains detailed information about jobs

as a list.

Returned fields for bulk requests (unlike other bulk requests, these

fields are not the same as for per-job requests):

:pyeval:`utils.CommaJoin(sorted(rlib2.J_FIELDS_BULK))`

``/2/jobs/[job_id]``

++++++++++++++++++++

Individual job URI.

It supports the following commands: ``GET``, ``DELETE``.

``GET``

~~~~~~~

Returns a dictionary with job parameters, containing the fields

:pyeval:`utils.CommaJoin(sorted(rlib2.J_FIELDS))`.

The result includes:

- id: job ID as a number

- status: current job status as a string

- ops: involved OpCodes as a list of dictionaries for each opcodes in

  the job

- opstatus: OpCodes status as a list

- opresult: OpCodes results as a list

For a successful opcode, the ``opresult`` field corresponding to it will

contain the raw result from its :term:`LogicalUnit`. In case an opcode

has failed, its element in the opresult list will be a list of two

elements:

- first element the error type (the Ganeti internal error name)

- second element a list of either one or two elements:

  - the first element is the textual error description

  - the second element, if any, will hold an error classification

The error classification is most useful for the ``OpPrereqError``

error type - these errors happen before the OpCode has started

executing, so it's possible to retry the OpCode without side

effects. But whether it make sense to retry depends on the error

classification:

.. pyassert::

   errors.ECODE_ALL == set([errors.ECODE_RESOLVER, errors.ECODE_NORES,

     errors.ECODE_INVAL, errors.ECODE_STATE, errors.ECODE_NOENT,

     errors.ECODE_EXISTS, errors.ECODE_NOTUNIQUE, errors.ECODE_FAULT,

     errors.ECODE_ENVIRON])

:pyeval:`errors.ECODE_RESOLVER`

  Resolver errors. This usually means that a name doesn't exist in DNS,

  so if it's a case of slow DNS propagation the operation can be retried

  later.

:pyeval:`errors.ECODE_NORES`

  Not enough resources (iallocator failure, disk space, memory,

  etc.). If the resources on the cluster increase, the operation might

  succeed.

:pyeval:`errors.ECODE_INVAL`

  Wrong arguments (at syntax level). The operation will not ever be

  accepted unless the arguments change.

:pyeval:`errors.ECODE_STATE`

  Wrong entity state. For example, live migration has been requested for

  a down instance, or instance creation on an offline node. The

  operation can be retried once the resource has changed state.

:pyeval:`errors.ECODE_NOENT`

  Entity not found. For example, information has been requested for an

  unknown instance.

:pyeval:`errors.ECODE_EXISTS`

  Entity already exists. For example, instance creation has been

  requested for an already-existing instance.

:pyeval:`errors.ECODE_NOTUNIQUE`

  Resource not unique (e.g. MAC or IP duplication).

:pyeval:`errors.ECODE_FAULT`

  Internal cluster error. For example, a node is unreachable but not set

  offline, or the ganeti node daemons are not working, etc. A

  ``gnt-cluster verify`` should be run.

:pyeval:`errors.ECODE_ENVIRON`

  Environment error (e.g. node disk error). A ``gnt-cluster verify``

  should be run.

Note that in the above list, by entity we refer to a node or instance,

while by a resource we refer to an instance's disk, or NIC, etc.

``DELETE``

~~~~~~~~~~

Cancel a not-yet-started job.

``/2/jobs/[job_id]/wait``

  available.

Returns None if no changes have been detected and a dict with two keys,

``job_info`` and ``log_entries`` otherwise.

``/2/nodes``
