class insights.parsers.sysconfig.IfCFGStaticRoute(context)[source]

Bases: SysconfigOptions

IfCFGStaticRoute is a parser for the static route network interface definition files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. These are pulled into the network scripts using source, so they are mainly bash environment declarations of the form KEY=value. These are stored in the data property as a dictionary. Quotes surrounding the value

Because this parser reads multiple files, the interfaces are stored as a list within the parser and need to be iterated through in order to find specific interfaces.

Sample configuration from a static connection in file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rute-test-net:

ADDRESS0=10.65.223.0
NETMASK0=255.255.254.0
GATEWAY0=10.65.223.1

Examples

>>> conn_info['ADDRESS0']
'10.65.223.0'

'test-net'
static_route_name

static route name

Type:

str

class insights.parsers.sysconfig.NfsSysconfig(context)[source]

Bases: SysconfigOptions

A parser for analyzing the /etc/sysconfig/nfs configuration file.

Note

In some RHEL version, both the file /etc/nfs.conf and file /etc/sysconfig/nfs exist, and take effect at the same time for NFS services on the host. And it’s possible that there are overlaps between the two configuration files. A combiner for the two configuration files was considered. Since the two files’ coverage are different, and it is quite complicate to enumerate all the configuration options and combine them properly, and also, /etc/sysconfig/nfs is deprecated in lately RHEL releases. We deselect it as a consequence.

Sample Input:

RPCNFSDARGS="--rdma=20049"
#STATD_PORT=662

Examples

>>> 'RPCNFSDARGS' in nfs_syscfg
True
>>> nfs_syscfg['RPCNFSDARGS']
'--rdma=20049'
