Kernel dump configuration files

This module contains the following parsers:

KDumpConf - file /etc/kdump.conf

KexecCrashLoaded - file /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded

KexecCrashSize - file /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size

class insights.parsers.kdump.KDumpConf(context)

Bases: Parser, LegacyItemAccess

A dictionary like object for the values of the /etc/kdump.conf file.

lines

raw lines from the file, in order

Type:

list

data

a dictionary of options set in the data

Type:

dict

comments

fully commented lines

Type:

list

inline_comments

lines containing inline comments

Type:

list

target

target line parsed as a (x, y) tuple if set, else None

Type:

tuple

The data property has two special behaviours:

• If an option - e.g. blacklist - is repeated, its values are collected together in a list. Options that only appear once have their values stored as is.

• The options option is special - it appears in the form option module value. The options key in the data dictionary is therefore stored as a dictionary, keyed on the module name.

The target property has following possibilities:

• If target-line starts with any keyword in [‘raw’, ‘ssh’, ‘net’, ‘nfs’, ‘nfs4’], return tuple (keyword, value).

• If target-line is set with ‘<fs_type> <partation>’, return tuple (<fs_type>, <partation>).

• If target-line is not set, the target is default which is depending on what’s mounted in the current system, return None instead of tuple here.

Main helper functions:

• options - the options value in the data(see above).

Sample /etc/kdump.conf file:

path /var/crash
core_collector makedumpfile -c --message-level 1 -d 24
default shell

Examples

>>> kd.is_local_disk
True
>>> kd.is_ssh()
False
>>> 'path' in kd
True

get_hostname(net_commands={'net', 'nfs', 'ssh'})

Find the first host name in the given list of commands. Uses _network_lines above to find the list of commands. The first line that matches urlparse’s definition of a host name is returned, or None is returned.

get_ip(net_commands={'net', 'nfs', 'ssh'})

Find the first IP address in the given list of commands. Uses _network_lines above to find the list of commands. The first line that lists an IP address is returned, otherwise None is returned.

property hostname

Uses get_hostname() above to give the first host name found in the list of crash dump destinations.

property ip

Uses get_ip() above to give the first IP address found in the list of crash dump destinations.

is_nfs()

Is the destination of the kernel dump a NFS or NFSv4 connection?

is_ssh()

Is the destination of the kernel dump an ssh connection?

options(module)

Returns the options for this module in the settings.

Parameters:

module (str) -- The module name

Returns:

(str) The module’s options, or ‘’ if either options or

module is not found.

parse_content(content)

This method must be implemented by classes based on this class.

property using_local_disk

Is kdump configured to only use local disk?

Several target types:

• If ‘raw’ is given, then the dump is local.

• If ‘ssh’, ‘net’, ‘nfs’, or ‘nfs4’ is given, then the dump is NOT local.

• If ‘<fs type> <partition>’ is given, then the dump is local.

• Otherwise, the dump is local.

Since only one target could be set, the logic used here is checking if remote target is used, return True for not.

class insights.parsers.kdump.KexecCrashLoaded(context)

Bases: Parser

A simple parser to determine if a crash kernel (i.e. a second kernel capable of capturing the machine state should the main kernel crash) is present.

This simply returns a set of whether the /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded file has the value 1.

parse_content(content)

This method must be implemented by classes based on this class.

class insights.parsers.kdump.KexecCrashSize(context)

Bases: Parser

Parses the /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size file which tells the reserved memory size for the crash kernel.

size

reserved memory size for the crash kernel, or 0 if not found.

Type:

int

parse_content(content)

This method must be implemented by classes based on this class.
