# python-osmclient OSM client library and console script ## Installation ```bash # Ubuntu pre-requirements sudo apt-get install python3-pip # Centos pre-requirements # sudo yum install python3-pip ``` Clone the osmclient repo: ```bash git clone https://osm.etsi.org/gerrit/osm/osmclient cd osmclient ``` Finally install osmclient with pip. For development, you should install osmclient in editable mode (`--user -e`): ```bash # Install osmclient python3 -m pip install --user . -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt # Install osmclient in editable mode (-e) # python3 -m pip install --user -e . -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt # logout and login so that PATH can be updated. Executable osm will be found in /home/ubuntu/.local/bin ``` After logging out and in, you can check that osm is running with: ```bash which osm osm version ``` ## Setup Set the OSM_HOSTNAME variable to the host of the OSM server (default: localhost). ```bash localhost$ export OSM_HOSTNAME= ``` ## Examples ### upload vnfd ```bash localhost$ osm upload-package ubuntu_xenial_vnf.tar.gz {'transaction_id': 'ec12af77-1b91-4c84-b233-60f2c2c16d14'} localhost$ osm vnfd-list +--------------------+--------------------+ | vnfd name | id | +--------------------+--------------------+ | ubuntu_xenial_vnfd | ubuntu_xenial_vnfd | +--------------------+--------------------+ ``` ### upload nsd ```bash localhost$ osm upload-package ubuntu_xenial_ns.tar.gz {'transaction_id': 'b560c9cb-43e1-49ef-a2da-af7aab24ce9d'} localhost$ osm nsd-list +-------------------+-------------------+ | nsd name | id | +-------------------+-------------------+ | ubuntu_xenial_nsd | ubuntu_xenial_nsd | +-------------------+-------------------+ ``` ### vim-list ```bash localhost$ osm vim-list +-------------+-----------------+--------------------------------------+ | ro-account | datacenter name | uuid | +-------------+-----------------+--------------------------------------+ | osmopenmano | openstack-site | 2ea04690-0e4a-11e7-89bc-00163e59ff0c | +-------------+-----------------+--------------------------------------+ ``` ### instantiate ns ```bash localhost$ osm ns-create ubuntu_xenial_nsd testns openstack-site {'success': ''} localhost$ osm ns-list +------------------+--------------------------------------+-------------------+--------------------+---------------+ | ns instance name | id | catalog name | operational status | config status | +------------------+--------------------------------------+-------------------+--------------------+---------------+ | testns | 6b0d2906-13d4-11e7-aa01-b8ac6f7d0c77 | ubuntu_xenial_nsd | running | configured | +------------------+--------------------------------------+-------------------+--------------------+---------------+ ``` ## Using osmclient as a library to interact with OSM Assuming that you have installed python-osmclient package, it's pretty simple to write some Python code to interact with OSM. ### Simple Python code to get the list of NS packages ```python from osmclient import client from osmclient.common.exceptions import ClientException hostname = "127.0.0.1" myclient = client.Client(host=hostname, sol005=True) resp = myclient.nsd.list() print yaml.safe_dump(resp, indent=4, default_flow_style=False) ``` ### Simple Python code to get the list of VNF packages from a specific user and project The code will print for each package a pretty table, then the full details in yaml ```python from osmclient import client from osmclient.common.exceptions import ClientException import yaml from prettytable import PrettyTable hostname = "127.0.0.1" user = admin password = admin project = admin kwargs = {} if user is not None: kwargs['user']=user if password is not None: kwargs['password']=password if project is not None: kwargs['project']=project myclient = client.Client(host=hostname, sol005=True, **kwargs) resp = myclient.vnfd.list() print yaml.safe_dump(resp, indent=4, default_flow_style=False) ``` ## Enable autocompletion You can enable autocompletion in OSM client by creating a file osm-complete.sh in the following way: ```bash mkdir -p $HOME/.bash_completion.d _OSM_COMPLETE=source osm > $HOME/.bash_completion.d/osm-complete.sh ``` Then you can add the following to your $HOME/.bashrc file: ```bash . .bash_completion.d/osm-complete.sh ``` ## Future work - Option `-c` for list and show operations to filter output and show only selected columns - Option `-o ` to adapt output format (table, csv, yaml, json, jsonpath) - Command ns-status to show the deployment status (RO) and configuration status (VCA) in an appealing format - See how to deprecate commands and options: - Evaluate the possibility to re-structure code to uniform all commands: `check`, `table_headers`, `run`, `output`
