nextdeploy-blink1

Manages a blink1 device for some NextDeploy supervise alerts.

Prerequisites

Needs Cmake (>3.1), Jansson and curl libraries, and the hidapi library from blink1 repo.

Install Jansson Library

$ git clone https://github.com/akheron/jansson
$ cd jansson
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

Install hidapi blink1 version

$ git clone https://github.com/todbot/blink1
$ cd blink1/commandline/hidapi
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

libcrul may be isntalled via your package manager (apt, brew, yum, ...)

Compile

$ cd build && cmake ..
$ make

Folders

+--bin/		Binary folder where nextfloor executable is written
+--build/   Build folder for compile stuffs
+--cmake/   Cmake modules folder
+--config/  Config folder
+--doxy/    Destination folder for documentation generated

The folder src/ndeployblink1/blink1/lib is the Blink1 C Api Library duplicated from the blink1 repo

Settings

A default setting file is present at config/nextdeploy.conf.default For local config change, we can duplicate this file

$ cp config/nextdeploy.conf.default config/nextdeploy.conf
$ vi config/nextdeploy.conf.default

This file must include your NextDeploy username, password and the hostname of the api.

Run

The program runs in an infinite loop (ctr-c for stop the loop) and check NextDeploy vms status every 20 seconds.

$ ./bin/./ndeployblink1

At each loop, the color of the blink1 device is updated as follows

• Green: all is ok
• Blue: a new vm is currently on setup state
• Orange: one or more vm services are down (details on cmd output)
• Red: one or more Vm are on error state
• Purple: a network, credentials, or json issue with the remote api
