Serenity

ET DS (Emerging Technology Data Science) develops a vehicle of transforming Discovery output automatically to GBD processing templates reports.

Run Instructions

Step 1: Install Packages & Python Version

pyenv install $(cat .python-version)
poetry env use $(pyenv which python)
poetry install

Step 2: Upload raw datasets to data/ folder

Sample directory structure. Add the raw jsons to the path within the data/raw folder such as data/test-data-recon2/raw/vcenter/details.json. The structure for the folder is as follows:

• data
  • test-data-recon1
    • raw
      • vcenter
        • folder1
          • details.json
          • deployment.json
      • network
        • folder1
          • details.json
          • deployments.json
        • folder2
          • details.json
          • deployments.json
      • satellite
        • details.json
        • deployments.json
    • intermediate
      • network
      • vcenter
    • final report

Please also note that inside the folder of a particular scan example, there can either be a single report or multiple reports each having details.json and deployments.json files. The folder structure can take either of the following structures as follows:

A scan having multiple reports:

• network
  • folder1
    • details.json
    • deployment.json
  • folder2
    • details.json
    • deployments.json

A scan having a single report:

• network

  • details.json
  • deployment.json

• data

  • test-data-recon1
    • raw
      • vcenter
        • details.json
        • deployment.json
      • network
      • candlepin
    • intermediate
    • final report

Step 2.1: Uploading intermediate test data when running in validation mode

If running in --validate mode, you will need to upload the intermediate test data for the corresponding scans in the data/intermediate folder. You can upload the intermediate test data such as the manually generated GBD data vcenter_intermediate_gbd_generated.csv to the folder as follows:

• data
  • test-data-recon2
    • raw
    • intermediate
      • vcenter
        • vcenter_intermediate_gbd_generated.csv
      • network
        • network_intermediate_gbd_generated.csv
    • final report

Please Note: If you are not running in validation mode you can skip this step and directly proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: Run script

Running in automation mode:

poetry run python -m serenity --foldername <raw data folder name> --scan <type of scans>

OR

Running in validation mode (only when we have test data to validate against):

poetry run python -m serenity --foldername <raw data folder name> --scan <type of scans> --validate

Make sure to run the above by passing the correct set of parameters as defined below:

• foldername

  • Specify the recon folder name you would want to run this code on
  • Example: --foldername test-data-recon1

• scan

  • Specify the Discovery scan type(s) to be processed. If there are more than one scans, add them with a space separation.
  • Example: --scan vcenter, --scan vcenter network, --scan network, --scan vcenter satellite

• validate

  • Optional argument only to be specified when running in validation mode i.e. if there is correponding test data that we would want to validate our automated outputs against.
  • Example: --validate

Example Output:

This example runs the tool for:

• folder - test-data-recon2
• scans - vcenter, network
• Execution mode - Running in validation mode

$ poetry run python -m serenity --foldername test-data-recon2 --scan vcenter network --validate

This will run all the pre-processing of the scan data, save the intermediate datasets in the data folder and create the final reconciliation report.

The processed data is saved in the intermediate and final report folders as follows:

• data
  • test-data-recon2
    • raw
    • intermediate
      • vcenter
        • vcenter_intermediate_automated.csv
      • network
        • network_intermediate_automated.csv
    • final report
      • deployment_details_auto_generated.csv
