ECS Minion

ECS Minion is a Python library for interacting with the ECS 2.x Management API

Note: ECS is an EMC product, trademarked, copyrighted, etc.

This library follows the ECS API documentation located here.

Using this library is pretty straight forward. ECSMinion can be installed from PyPi:

$ pip install ecsminion

This library should be compatible with both Python 2.7.x and Python 3.4.x.

Creating an instance of the ECSMinion class allows the following arguments:

Name	Required	Default Value	Description
`username`	No	None	The username used to fetch the ECS token
`password`	No	None	The password used to fetch the ECS token
`token`	No	None	Pass a token to ECSMinion (username/password are ignored then)
`ecs_endpoint`	Yes	None	The ECS API endpoint, ex: `https://192.168.0.149:4443`
`token_endpoint`	Yes	None	The ECS API endpoint, ex: `https://192.168.0.149:4443/login`
`verify_ssl`	No	False	Whether to check a host's SSL certificate
`token_filename`	No	`ecstoken.tkn`	The filename of the temporary token
`token_location`	No	`/tmp`	The location to store the temporary token file
`request_timeout`	No	15.0	Stop waiting for a response after a given number of seconds, this is a decimal value. Ex: 10.0 is ten seconds
`cache_token`	No	True	Whether to cache the token, by default this is true you should only switch this to false when you want to directly fetch a token for a user

Here is an example that goes through most of the API calls. Please note that some calls take longer to complete than others. Sometimes you may need to set your request_timeout to 60.0.

    client = ECSMinion(username='ecsadmin@internal',

Example: Uploading an ECS license

According to ECS API documentation, a call to POST /license should contain a payload like the following:

{
    "license_feature": [
        {
            "serial": "",
            "version": "",
            "issued_date": "",
            "expiration_date": "",
            "model": "",
            "product": "",
            "site_id": "",
            "issuer": "",
            "notice": "",
            "licensed_ind": "",
            "expired_ind": "",
            "license_id_indicator": "",
            "error_message": "",
            "storage_capacity_unit": "",
            "storage_capacity": "",
            "trial_license_ind": ""
        }
    ],
    "license_text": ""
}

Thus, if you consume a JSON file with such license data, you may upload it using the licensing.add_license() method:

import json
import pprint

pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter()

try:
    with open("ECS2.1_License.json") as data:
        license = json.load(data)

    pp.pprint(client.licensing.add_license(license))

except ValueError as val_ex:  # includes simplejson.decoder.JSONDecodeError
    print("Couldn't parse JSON data: {0}".format(val_ex.message))
except ECSMinionException as ecsminion_ex:
    print('Message: {0}'.format(ecsminion_ex.message))
    print('Status Code Returned: {0}\n'.format(ecsminion_ex.http_status_code))
    print('ECS API Message: {0}'.format(ecsminion_ex.ecs_message))
except Exception as ex:
    print(ex.message)

Example: Enable logging output

ECSMinion leverages the Python logging module. Enable it from your application like so:

import logging

# Default to INFO level logging
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.INFO)

Now ECSMinion will tell you about what it's doing (and so will the requests library). If you'd like even more information about the HTTP requests and headers, use the following:

import logging
import httplib

# Default to DEBUG level logging
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# Show HTTP headers and payloads
httplib.HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 1

If you don't want to see any requests logging, either filter it with a logging filter or change the logging level for just that library:

import logging

# Default to INFO level logging
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.INFO)

# Only show errors from requests lib
logging.getLogger('requests.packages.urllib3').setLevel(logging.ERROR)

Example: Use a valid token instead of supplying a username and password

You pass an authentication token directly to ECSMinion which means you don't need to supply a username/password. Here is an example (the token has been shortened):

client = ECSMinion(token='ALAcbGZtbjh6eVB3eUF1TzFEZWNmc0M2VVl2QjBVPQM',
                   token_endpoint='https://192.168.1.146:4443/login',
                   ecs_endpoint='https://192.168.1.146:4443',
                   request_timeout=15.0)

Example: Fetching tokens

Fetching a token for a user can be done as follows by setting the cache_token parameter to false and then calling get_token:

from ecsminion import ECSMinion, ECSMinionException


if __name__ == "__main__":
    try:
        client = ECSMinion(username='someone',
                           password='password',
                           token=None,
                           token_endpoint='https://192.168.1.146:4443/login',
                           ecs_endpoint='https://192.168.1.146:4443',
                           request_timeout=15.0,
                           cache_token=False)

        print(client.get_token())

    except ECSMinionException as ecsminion_ex:
        print('Message: {0}'.format(ecsminion_ex.message))
        print('Status Code Returned: {0}\n'.format(ecsminion_ex.http_status_code))
        print('ECS API Message: {0}'.format(ecsminion_ex.ecs_message))
    except Exception as ex:
        print(ex.message)

Example: Removing a cached token

from ecsminion import ECSMinion, ECSMinionException


if __name__ == "__main__":
    try:
        client = ECSMinion(username='someone',
                           password='password',
                           token=None,
                           token_endpoint='https://192.168.1.146:4443/login',
                           ecs_endpoint='https://192.168.1.146:4443',
                           request_timeout=15.0,
                           cache_token=False)

        print(client.remove_cached_token())

    except ECSMinionException as ecsminion_ex:
        print('Message: {0}'.format(ecsminion_ex.message))
        print('Status Code Returned: {0}\n'.format(ecsminion_ex.http_status_code))
        print('ECS API Message: {0}'.format(ecsminion_ex.ecs_message))
    except Exception as ex:
        print(ex.message)
