Nick Lewis 7ee73083fd Show the status of pools with floaty status
Previously, `floaty status` would simply pretty-print the JSON output of
the status request to the pooler. That data requires additional
parsing, either human or machine, in order to be able to deduce any
meaningful information about the state of the pooler.

This commit updates `floaty status` to visually represent the state of
pools, indicating which pools have nodes missing or being built. It also
prints the status summary message returned by the pooler, providing an
easy way to tell if everything is okay.

By default, this command will only show the state of pools that aren't
full. If `--verbose` is passed, it will show all pools. If the complete
status information provided by the API is desired, the `--json` option
will print the raw JSON output, preserving the previous functionality.

This also updates the status command to exit non-zero if the status is
not ok.

Example workflow

Grabbing a token for authenticated pooler requests:

floaty token get --user username --url https://vmpooler.mycompany.net/api/v1

This command will then ask you to log in. If successful, it will return a token that you can save either in a dotfile or use with other cli commands.

Grabbing vms:

floaty get centos-7-x86_64=2 debian-7-x86_64=1 windows-10=3 --token mytokenstring --url https://vmpooler.mycompany.net/api/v1

vmfloaty dotfile

If you do not wish to continuely specify various config options with the cli, you can have a dotfile in your home directory for some defaults. For example:

#file at /Users/me/.vmfloaty.yml
url: 'https://vmpooler.mycompany.net/api/v1'
user: 'brian'
token: 'tokenstring'

Now vmfloaty will use those config files if no flag was specified.

Valid config keys

Here are the keys that vmfloaty currently supports:

  • verbose
    • Boolean
  • token
    • String
  • user
    • String
  • url
    • String

vmpooler API

This cli tool uses the vmpooler API.

Using the Pooler class

vmfloaty providers a Pooler class that gives users the ability to make requests to vmpooler without having to write their own requests. It also provides an Auth class for managing vmpooler tokens within your application.
