Config Groups

[jon-nfc]

Add a feature for the config management module for host groups.

Use Case

be able to assign a host to a group for the purpose of config management. the groups can have configuration assigned to it that is then rendered as part of the hosts configuration.

Details

Groups can be stored in a single model groups with the following fields

• id primary key
• name name of the group
• parent primary id of the parent group or null for group with no parent
• config json of groups config
• created dtg created
• modified dtg modified

Config rendering

• function within model to render config

Config rendering can be done via a function that is a recursive lookup. the lookup returns the config of the child group and merges it with the current group overriding any config that conflicts with that of the child group. conflicting settings override precedence is child group then groups from left to right. A hosts config will always override that of any group config.

Config validation

• Exception Configuration is invalid

Any configuration will need to have it validated as valid json.

Hosts

• new field config_groups

Host group storage will not need a model as the hosts model can be modified to include a single field that is a one to many field. this will allow a host to be assigned to multiple groups.

Requirements

• history is maintained
• API endpoint for config groups and rendered config
