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.

.. _rapi-users:

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.

Lines starting with the hash sign (``#``) are treated as comments. 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 (separated by comma without
spaces).

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 case insensitive.

Options control a user's access permissions. The section
:ref:`rapi-access-permissions` lists the permissions required for each
resource. If the ``--require-authentication`` command line option is
given to the ``ganeti-rapi`` daemon, all requests require
authentication. Available options:

.. pyassert::

  rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_ALL == set([
    rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_WRITE,
    rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_READ,
    ])

.. pyassert::

  rlib2.R_2_nodes_name_storage.GET_ACCESS == [rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_WRITE]

.. pyassert::

  rlib2.R_2_jobs_id_wait.GET_ACCESS == [rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_WRITE]

:pyeval:`rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_WRITE`
  Enables the user to execute operations modifying the cluster. Implies
  :pyeval:`rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_READ` access. Resources blocking other
  operations for read-only access, such as
  :ref:`/2/nodes/[node_name]/storage <rapi-res-nodes-node_name-storage+get>`
  or blocking server-side processes, such as
  :ref:`/2/jobs/[job_id]/wait <rapi-res-jobs-job_id-wait+get>`, use
  :pyeval:`rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_WRITE` to control access to their
  :pyeval:`http.HTTP_GET` method.
:pyeval:`rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_READ`
  Allow access to operations querying for information.

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

  # Monitoring can query for values
  monitoring {HA1}ec018ffe72b8e75bb4d508ed5b6d079c read

  # A user who can read and write (the former is implied by granting
  # write access)
  superuser {HA1}ec018ffe72b8e75bb4d508ed5b6d079c read,write

When using the RAPI, username and password can be sent to the server
by using the standard HTTP basic access authentication. This means that
for accessing the protected URL ``https://cluster.example.com/resource``,
the address ``https://username:password@cluster.example.com/resource`` should
be used instead.
Alternatively, the appropriate parameter of your HTTP client
(such as ``-u`` for ``curl``) can be used.

.. [#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.

.. _rapi-ipolicy:

``ipolicy``
+++++++++++

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

.. pyassert::

  constants.IPOLICY_ALL_KEYS == set([constants.ISPECS_MINMAX,
                                     constants.ISPECS_STD,
                                     constants.IPOLICY_DTS,
                                     constants.IPOLICY_VCPU_RATIO,
                                     constants.IPOLICY_SPINDLE_RATIO])


.. pyassert::

  (set(constants.ISPECS_PARAMETER_TYPES.keys()) ==
   set([constants.ISPEC_MEM_SIZE,
        constants.ISPEC_DISK_SIZE,
        constants.ISPEC_DISK_COUNT,
        constants.ISPEC_CPU_COUNT,
        constants.ISPEC_NIC_COUNT,
        constants.ISPEC_SPINDLE_USE]))

.. |ispec-min| replace:: :pyeval:`constants.ISPECS_MIN`
.. |ispec-max| replace:: :pyeval:`constants.ISPECS_MAX`
.. |ispec-std| replace:: :pyeval:`constants.ISPECS_STD`


:pyeval:`constants.ISPECS_MINMAX`
  A list of dictionaries, each with the following two fields:

  |ispec-min|, |ispec-max|
    A sub- `dict` with the following fields, which sets the limit 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
    :pyeval:`constants.ISPEC_DISK_COUNT`
      The numbers of disks used
    :pyeval:`constants.ISPEC_CPU_COUNT`
      The numbers of cpus used
    :pyeval:`constants.ISPEC_NIC_COUNT`
      The numbers of nics used
    :pyeval:`constants.ISPEC_SPINDLE_USE`
      The numbers of virtual disk spindles used by this instance. They
      are not real in the sense of actual HDD spindles, but useful for
      accounting the spindle usage on the residing node
|ispec-std|
  A sub- `dict` with the same fields as |ispec-min| and |ispec-max| above,
  which sets the standard values of the instances.
:pyeval:`constants.IPOLICY_DTS`
  A `list` of disk templates allowed for instances using this policy
:pyeval:`constants.IPOLICY_VCPU_RATIO`
  Maximum ratio of virtual to physical CPUs (`float`)
:pyeval:`constants.IPOLICY_SPINDLE_RATIO`
  Maximum ratio of instances to their node's ``spindle_count`` (`float`)

Usage examples
--------------

You can access the API using your favorite programming language as long
as it supports network connections.

Ganeti RAPI client
++++++++++++++++++

Ganeti includes a standalone RAPI client, ``lib/rapi/client.py``.

Shell
+++++

.. highlight:: shell-example

Using ``wget``::

   $ wget -q -O - https://%CLUSTERNAME%:5080/2/info

or ``curl``::

  $ curl https://%CLUSTERNAME%:5080/2/info

Note: with ``curl``, the request method (GET, POST, PUT) can be specified
using the ``-X`` command line option, and the username/password can be
specified with the ``-u`` option. In case of POST requests with a body, the
Content-Type can be set to JSON (as per the Protocol_ section) using the
parameter ``-H "Content-Type: application/json"``.

Python
++++++

.. highlight:: python

::

  import urllib2
  f = urllib2.urlopen('https://CLUSTERNAME:5080/2/info')
  print f.read()


JavaScript
++++++++++

.. warning:: While it's possible to use JavaScript, it poses several
   potential problems, including browser blocking request due to
   non-standard ports or different domain names. Fetching the data on
   the webserver is easier.

.. highlight:: javascript

::

  var url = 'https://CLUSTERNAME:5080/2/info';
  var info;
  var xmlreq = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xmlreq.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if (xmlreq.readyState != 4) return;
    if (xmlreq.status == 200) {
      info = eval("(" + xmlreq.responseText + ")");
      alert(info);
    } else {
      alert('Error fetching cluster info');
    }
    xmlreq = null;
  };
  xmlreq.open('GET', url, true);
  xmlreq.send(null);

~~~~~~~~

Creates an instance.

If the optional bool *dry-run* argument is provided, the job will not be
actually executed, only the pre-execution checks will be done. Query-ing
the job result will return, in both dry-run and normal case, the list of
nodes selected for the instance.

Returns: a job ID that can be used later for polling.

Body parameters:

``__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.

.. _rapi-res-instances-instance_name-reboot+post:

``POST``
~~~~~~~~

Reboots the instance.

The URI takes optional ``type=soft|hard|full`` and
``ignore_secondaries=0|1`` parameters.

``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.

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

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


.. _rapi-res-jobs:

``/2/jobs``
+++++++++++

The ``/2/jobs`` resource.

.. rapi_resource_details:: /2/jobs


.. _rapi-res-jobs+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))`.


.. _rapi-res-jobs-job_id:

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

Individual job URI.

.. rapi_resource_details:: /2/jobs/[job_id]


.. _rapi-res-jobs-job_id+get:

``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, errors.ECODE_TEMP_NORES])

: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_TEMP_NORES`
  Simliar to :pyeval:`errors.ECODE_NORES`, but indicating the operation
  should be attempted again after some time.

: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.
