Tool for managing SiriDB service accounts and databases. SiriDB-Admin can be used both by command-line arguments and a graphical web-interface.
SiriDB Admin only works with SiriDB version 2.0.16 and higher. For older versions of SiriDB the manage tool is required and can be found at https://github.com/SiriDB/siridb-manage
SiriDB Admin Tool can be compiled from source or, for most systems, you can simply download a pre-compiled binary.
Go to https://github.com/SiriDB/siridb-admin/releases/latest and download the binary for your system.
In this documentation we refer to the binary as siridb-admin. On Linux/OSX it might be required to set the execution flag:
$ chmod +x siridb-admin_X.Y.Z_OS_ARCH.bin
You might want to copy the binary to /usr/local/bin and create a symlink like this:
$ sudo cp siridb-admin_X.Y.Z_OS_ARCH.bin /usr/local/bin/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/siridb-admin_X.Y.Z_OS_ARCH.bin /usr/local/bin/siridb-admin
Note: replace X.Y.Z_OS_ARCH with your binary, for example 1.2.0_linux_amd64
Before compiling from source make sure go, npm and git are installed and your $GOPATH is set.
Clone the project using git. (we assume git is installed)
git clone https://github.com/SiriDB/siridb-admin
Make sure less is installed:
$ sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css
The gobuild.py script can be used to build the binary:
$ ./gobuild.py -i -l -w -b -p
Or, if you want the development version which uses original files from /build and /static instead of build-in files:
$ ./gobuild.py -i -l -w -b -d
A web interface can be started with the following command:
siridb-admin --http
This will start a webserver listening on port 8080. You can now access the graphical interface by opening url http://localhost:8080 in your favorite web-browser.
Note: you might want to use a different port for the webserver. This can be done using the -O or --port argument flag. For example:
siridb-admin --http --port 5050
SiriDB Admin can be used by just using command line arguments. This can be useful in case you want to create and extend a SiriDB database using a script.
All commands start with the following arguments:
siridb-admin -u <service_account> [-p <password>] [-s <siridb_server>] <command> ...
The service account is a required argument. By default the sa user with password siri is installed on a SiriDB server and this account will be used in most examples in this documentation.
If the -p flag with the service account password is not given, the tool will ask for the service account password.
The other optional argument flag -s can be used to provide a SiriDB server address and optional port. If not given then the default localhost:9000 is used. If we, for example, have installed SiriDB on a server with hostname siridb01.foo.local, we can simply use argument -s siridb01.foo.local. Note that adding :9000 is not required since port 9000 is the default port.
It is also possible to use an IPv4 or IPv6 address instead of a hostname. In case you want to use both an IPv6 address and use an alternative port then do not forget to put the IPv6 address between braces. For example: [::1]:5050 is a valid IPv6 address and port.
If something goes wrong you should usually get an error message with some information. More information can be printed when the --verbose flag is used. The --verbose flag works together with all arguments including the --http argument.
Service accounts are used for managing databases. A service account is a user on a SiriDB server that never has access to a SiriDB database. We call users with access to a database 'database users'. We keep these accounts seperate because database accounts exist in a database which possible extends over multiple SiriDB servers.
Get all service accounts on siridb01.foo.local using service account sa with password siri:
siridb-admin -u sa -p siri -s siridb01.foo.local get-accounts
A new service account can be created using the command below.
siridb-admin -u sa -s siridb01.foo.local new-account bob passwd4bob
This command will ask for the sa password and then create a service account bob with password passwd4bob on a SiriDB server with hostname siridb01.foo.local.
A password can be changed using the following command:
siridb-admin -u sa -p siri -s siridb01.foo.local:9000 change-password newpassw0rd
This will change the password for the sa service account on SiriDB server siridb01.foo.local from siri to newpassw0rd.
Service accounts can be removed using the following command:
siridb-admin -u sa -p siri -s siridb01.foo.local drop-account bob
This command will remove service account bob from SiriDB server siridb01.foo.local.
SiriDB Admin can be used to create a new database or extend an existing database with a new pool or replica. Note that databases can not be removed with this tool. As long as a database exists only on one SiriDB server you can remove the database by stopping the siridb-server process and then remove the database directory. All database directories can be found in the database path which can be configured in the siridb configuration file.
Get all existing databases on a SiriDB server siridb01.foo.local using service account sa with password siri:
siridb-admin -u sa -p siri -s siridb01.foo.local get-databases
A new database can be created with the following syntax:
siridb-admin -u <service_account> [flags] new-database
-d, --db-name=DB-NAME Database name. (Must be at least 2 and at most 20 characters. First
character must be a letter. Last character must be a letter or number.
In between letters, numbers, hyphen and underscores are allowed)
-t, --time-precision="ms" Time precision for the new database. Supported time precissions are
s (second), ms (millisecond), us (microsecond) and ns (nanosecond).
This value cannot be changed once the database is created.
-b, --buffer-size=1024 Buffer size for the new database. Each series uses a buffer space in
both memory and disk before points are actually written to shards.
This value cannot be changed once the database is created.
-N, --duration-num="1w" Number duration for the new database. Points are written to shards and
each shard has points for a specific time range. The size or time
window can be chosen but not changed once the database is created. For
example: the value '1w' will create shards holding points for 1 week.
-L, --duration-log="1d" Log duration for the new database. Like numeric duration but then for
log values. At the moment log values are not supported by SiriDB but
this will be implemented in a future release.
For example:
siridb-admin -u sa -p siri -s siridb01.foo.local new-database -d dbexample -t s
This will create database dbexample on SiriDB server siridb01.foo.local with a second time precision.
Note: each new database will be created with a default database user
irisand passwordsiri.
The following syntax can be used to create a new replica:
siridb-admin -u <service_account> [flags] new-replica
-d, --db-name=DB-NAME Database name where you want to add the new replica to.
-U, --db-user=DB-USER User with full privileges to the database.
-P, --db-password=DB-PASSWORD Password for the database user.
-S, --db-server=DB-SERVER SiriDB server address[:port]. Can be any server from the database
you want to add a new replica to.
-o, --pool=POOL Pool number which you want to create the replica for.
-f, --force Suppress warning message.
For example:
siridb-admin -u sa -p siri -s siridb02.foo.local new-replica -d dbexample -U iris -P siri -S siridb01.foo.local --pool 0
This will ask for confirmation and then create a replica on SiriDB server siridb02.foo.local for pool 0 in database dbexample.
The following syntax can be used to create a new pool:
siridb-admin -u <service_account> [flags] new-pool
-d, --db-name=DB-NAME Database name where you want to add the new pool to.
-U, --db-user=DB-USER User with full privileges to the database.
-P, --db-password=DB-PASSWORD Password for the database user.
-S, --db-server=DB-SERVER SiriDB server address[:port]. Can be any server from the database
you want to add a new pool to.
-f, --force Suppress warning message.
For example:
siridb-admin -u sa -p siri -s siridb03.foo.local new-pool -d dbexample -U iris -P siri -S siridb01.foo.local
This will ask for confirmation and then create a new pool on SiriDB server siridb03.foo.local for database dbexample. Pool id's will be incremented automatically so if the database only had pool 0 then the new pool will have id 1.
This will ask for confirmation and then create a replica on SiriDB server siridb02.foo.local for pool 0 in database dbexample.
Note: requires at least SiriDB version 2.0.31
The following syntax can be used to drop a database:
siridb-admin -u <service_account> [flags] drop-database
-d, --db-name=DB-NAME Database name where you want to add the new pool to.
-i, --ignore-offline Usually the database will be removed from all servers in the
cluster and therefore an error is returned in case one or more
servers are offline. This flag can be used to ignore offline servers.
-f, --force Suppress warning message.
For example:
siridb-admin -u sa -p siri -s siridb01.foo.local drop-database -d dbexample
This will ask for confirmation and then remove the database from all servers.
