Add Show Datamodel API

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/watcher/+spec/show-datamodel-api

Problem description

The datamodel is very important for Watcher to generate resource optimization solutions. Currently, it can only be found by looking at the log file, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to add an api to facilitate the user to quickly view the datamodel.

Use Cases

As a Watcher user, I want to use Show Datamodel API to see the information of the instance in the specified scope.

Proposed change

We can refer to the “strategy list” command, add the command line interface in the python-watcherclient. After receiving the request, the watcher-api calls watcher-decision-engine to retrieve the information about the datamodel, then parses and returns.

The command line interface used in watcherclient could be like this:

• watcher datamodel list [–audit <audit_id>]

In watcherclient, we can add “datamodel.py,datamodel_shell.py” to send datamodel list request and receive the result.

In watcher-api, we can add “datamodel.py” to recieve the python-watcherclient’s request and call watcher-decision-engine module.

In watcher-decision-engine, we can get datamodel data according to the specified scope, then parses the datamodel and return to watcher-api.

REST API impact

Add following datamodel REST:

• GET /v1/datamodels

  • Normal http response code(200)

  • Expected error http response code(400,401)

• Request

  • audit_uuid (Optional): UUID of an audit

• Response

  • instance_uuid: UUID of an instance

  • node_uuid: UUID of an compute node

  • instance_state: state of instance

  • node_state: state of compute node

• GET /v1/datamodels/detail

  • Normal http response code(200)

  • Expected error http response code(400,401)

• Request

  • audit_uuid (Optional): UUID of an audit

• Response

  • instance_uuid: UUID of an instance

  • instance_state: state of instance

  • instance_name: name of instance

  • instance_vcpus: number of instance vcpus

  • instance_memory: memory of instance

  • instance_disk: disk of instance

  • instance_disk_capacity: disk capacity of instance

  • node_uuid: UUID of an compute node

  • node_state: state of compute node

  • node_name: name of node

  • node_vcpus: number of compute node vcpus

  • node_memory: memory of node

  • node_disk: disk of node

  • node_disk_capacity: disk capacity of node
