NAME

lavacli - lavacli Documentation

lavacli is a command line tool to interact with one or many LAVA instances using XML-RPC.

FEATURES

lavacli allows you to interact with all LAVA objects:

  • aliases
  • device-types
  • devices
  • events
  • jobs
  • results
  • tags
  • workers

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Installation

Debian

A Debian package is available for Debian unstable and could be installed with:

apt install lavacli


PyPi

lavacli is also available on Pypi and can be installed with:

pip install lavacli


Development versions

It's also possible to use lavacli directly from the sources:

git clone https://git.lavasoftware.org/lava/lavacli.git
cd lavacli
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 -m lavacli


Configuration

lavacli can be used with or without a configuration file. Having a configuration file will help when using more than one lava instance.

Without a configuration file

When using lavacli without any configuration file, the uri should be passed as a command line argument:

lavacli --uri https://validation.linaro.org/RPC2 devices list


The authentication can also be passed in the uri:

lavacli --uri https://admin:my_secret_token@validation.linaro.org/RPC2 devices list


Keep in mind, that any user on the same machine will then see the username and token in the process list.

With a configuration file

lavacli configuration file is stored in ~/.config/lavacli.yaml. This is a YAML dictionary where each key is an identity.

default:


  uri: https://validation.linaro.org/RPC2
validation:


  uri: https://validation.linaro.org/RPC2
admin@validation:


  uri: https://validation.linaro.org/RPC2


  username: admin


  token: my_secret_token
staging:


  uri: https://staging.validation.linaro.org/RPC2


  events:


    uri: tcp://staging.validation.linaro.org:5500


When using lavacli, the identity can be used with -i or --identity:

lavacli -i admin@validation devices list
lavacli -i staging events listen


By default, the default identity will be used. Hence both commands are identitical:

lavacli devices list
lavacli -i validation devices list


Available options

For each identity, you have to set:

•
uri: the uri of the RPC endpoint.

You can also set:

  • username: the api username
  • token: the api token
  • version: the api version to use when talking to this instance
  • timeout: the http timeout (defaults to 20 seconds)
  • proxy: the uri to the proxy
  • verify_ssl_cert: set it to true to ignore SSL certificates errors (defaults to false)
  • events: zmq event configuration

The events key is a dictionary where you can specify:

  • uri: the uri of the events stream. If not specified, lavacli will ask the server.
  • socks_proxy: uri to the socks proxy, if needed

Usage

Here is the list of available commands and sub-commands.

Aliases

LAVA aliases can be managed by:

lavacli aliases add <name>
lavacli aliases delete <name>
lavacli aliases list
lavacli aliases show <name>


Device types

LAVA device types can be managed by:

lavacli device-types add [...]
lavacli device-types aliases add <name> <alias>
lavacli device-types aliases delete <name> <alias>
lavacli device-types aliases list
lavacli device-types health-check get <name>
lavacli device-types health-check set <name> <health-check.yaml>
lavacli device-types list
lavacli device-types show <name>
lavacli device-types template get <name>
lavacli device-types template set <name> <template.jinja2>
lavacli device-types update [...]


Devices

LAVA devices can be managed by:

lavacli devices add [...]
lavacli devices dict get <hostname>
lavacli devices dict set <hostname>
lavacli devices list
lavacli devices maintenance <hostname>
lavacli devices show <hostname>
lavacli devices tags add <hostname> <name>
lavacli devices tags delete <hostname> <name>
lavacli devices tags list
lavacli devices update [...]


Events

LAVA events can be used by:

lavacli events listen
lavacli events wait device [...]
lavacli events wait job [...]
lavacli events wait worker [...]


Identities

lavacli identities can be managed by:

lavacli identities add [...]
lavacli identities delete <id>
lavacli identities list
lavacli identities show <id>


Jobs

LAVA jobs can be managed by:

lavacli jobs cancel <job_id>
lavacli jobs config <job_i>
lavacli jobs definition <job_id>
lavacli jobs list
lavacli jobs logs <job_id>
lavacli jobs queue <device-type>
lavacli jobs resubmit <job_id>
lavacli jobs run <definition.yaml>
lavacli jobs show <job_id>
lavacli jobs submit <definition.yaml>
lavacli jobs validate <definition.yaml>
lavacli jobs wait <job_id>


Results

LAVA results can be managed by:

lavacli results <job_id>
lavacli results <job_id> <suite>
lavacli results <job_id> <suite> <case>


System

LAVA instance can be managed by:

lavacli system active
lavacli system api
lavacli system export <name>
lavacli system maintenance
lavacli system methods list
lavacli system methods help <method>
lavacli system methods signature <method>
lavacli system version
lavacli system whoami


In order to put a full instance into maintenance, an admin could call system maintenance. This function will:

  • set all workers health to MAINTENANCE
  • wait for all jobs to finish

If the instance should be put into into maintenance immediately, addind --force will:

  • set all workers health to MAINTENANCE
  • cancel all running jobs
  • wait for all jobs to finish

It also possible to exclude some workers with --exclude.

When the maintenance is finished, calling system active will move every worker into MAINTENANCE to ACTIVE.

Tags

LAVA tag can be managed by:

lavacli tags add [...]
lavacli tags delete <tag>
lavacli tags list
lavacli tags show <tag>


Utils

Some utilities are available with:

lavacli utils logs print <output.yaml>
lavacli utils templates render <output.yaml>


Printing logs

When working with raw logs, lavacli might help by coloring the logs by levels.

It's also possible to filter the logs by level. To only print the serial output and the commands sent by LAVA to the board, use:

lavacli utils logs print --filter target,input


Available log levels are: exception, error, warning, info, debug, target, input, feedback, results.

Workers

LAVA workers can be managed by:

lavacli workers add [...]
lavacli workers config get <hostname>
lavacli workers config set <hostname> <config.yaml>
lavacli workers env get <hostname>
lavacli workers env set <hostname> <env.yaml>
lavacli workers list
lavacli workers maintenance <hostname>
lavacli workers update [...]
lavacli workers show <hostname>
