Vistecture Dashboard

Docker: aoepeople/vistecture-dashboard

Works together with Vistecture and shows the state of the vistecture architecture in kubernetes like this:

Usage

You can use the Dockerimage: aoepeople/vistecture-dashboard

Example Project

docker run --rm -ti -p 8080:8080 aoepeople/vistecture-dashboard

Custom Project

Just copy your vistecture definitions into /vistecture/project.yml

The following Dockerfile could be used to build an image running the dashboard for your defined architecture:

FROM aoepeople/vistecture-dashboard

COPY definition /definition
CMD ["-config", "/definition/project.yml"]

Vistecture Properties that are used:

The following "Properties" are used to control dashboard behaviour (See example folder for an example)

• deployment: Has to be set to kubernetes (otherwise app is not checked)
• healthCheckPath: Healthcheck endpoint (relative path) (Optional - if not set just the base url is called) - If a healthCheckPath is configured it need to match the defined format (see below)
• apiDocPath: Optional the relative path to an API spec (just used to show a link)
• k8sDeploymentName: Override the name of the deployment in kubernetes that is checked(default = appname)
• k8sHealthCheckServiceName: Override service name that is used to check health (default = appname)
• k8sHealthCheckThroughIngress: If the app should be checked from public (ingress is required for the service)
• k8sType: set to "job" if the application is not represented by a deployment in kubernetes, but it is just a job

Healtcheck Format:

If a Healthcheck path is configured for the application the following format is evaluated:

{
"services": [
    {
        "name": "session",
        "alive": true,
        "details": "success"
    },
    {
        "name": "magento",
        "alive": true,
        "details": "magento is alive"
    },
    {
        "name": "om3oms-rabbitMQ-publisher",
        "alive": false,
        "details": "dial tcp [::1]:5672: connect: connection refused"
    }
]
}

Ignore/Silence services

go run vistecture-dashboard.go -Demo -ignore akeneo -ignore flamingo

respectively adjust the command in your dockerfile

CMD ["-config", "/definition/project.yml", "-ignore", "myApp", "-ignore", "otherApp"]
