Re: Request for Multibuildpack Use Cases

Mike Youngstrom <youngm@...>
 

John,

It sounds like the buildpack team is thinking the multi buildpack feature
would only work for buildpacks they provide not a custom
"dependency-resolution" buildpack. Or at least that is how I understood
the message from Danny Rosen earlier in the thread.

I encounter a lot of use cases for this. The most common is that an
application wants to pull in private dependencies during a future
dependency-resolution step of a later buildpack, but the dependency
resolver needs to be primed in some specific way. If you wait until
buildpack time it's too late.

On Heroku, for example, this is accomplished by having something like the
netrc buildpack (
https://github.com/timshadel/heroku-buildpack-github-netrc), adding a
GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, and then running your "real" buildpack.
The netrc BP runs first, allowing Bundler to see the private dependencies.

Cloud Foundry VMs to be on a manual network. You don't need to manually
pick the IPs, you just need to tell BOSH which IPs in the network not to
use and specify these in the "reserved" range.

Since so many different components depend on being able to determine their

dynamic networks, but we're aware of this current limitation.

Re: Request for Multibuildpack Use Cases

John Feminella <jxf@...>
 

Another common use case for me is that an application is polyglot in some
way. For example, you have a blog you'd like to deploy that uses a static
site generator written in (say) Go. You would have the Go buildpack run to
bootstrap and generate the resulting files in some output directory, and
then the staticfile buildpack runs and serves the files from the output
directory.

Hi Mike and Alex,

Two things - for Java, we are working toward defining an enhanced

The second is this workaround that David Laing suggested for
Logstash. Think you could use it for Splunk?

With the Java Logback library you can do this by adding
"%replace(%xException){'\n','\u2028'}%nopex" to your logging config[1] ,
and then use the following logstash conf.[2]
Replace the unicode newline character \u2028 with \n, which Kibana
will display as a new line.

mutate {

gsub => [ "[@message]", '\u2028', "

"]
^^^ Seems that passing a string with an actual newline in it is the
only way to make gsub work

}

to replace the token with a regular newline again so it displays
"properly" in Kibana.

Hi Jim,

So, to be clear what we're basically doing is using unicode newline
character to fool loggregator (which is looking for \n) into thinking that
it isn't a new log event right? Does \u2028 work as a new line character
when tailing logs in the CLI? Anyone tried this unicode new line character
in various consoles? IDE, xterm, etc? I'm wondering if developers will
need to have different config for development.

Think you could use it for Splunk?

With the Java Logback library you can do this by adding
"%replace(%xException){'\n','\u2028'}%nopex" to your logging config[1] ,
and then use the following logstash conf.[2]
Replace the unicode newline character \u2028 with \n, which Kibana
will display as a new line.

mutate {

gsub => [ "[@message]", '\u2028', "

to replace the token with a regular newline again so it displays
"properly" in Kibana.

AWS / CF v233 deployment

Sylvain Gibier
 

Hi,

Trying to a fresh new installation of CF on AWS - I'm hitting the following
issue when the deployment is trying to update the api_z1/0 jobs.
I'm following the instruction -
http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/deploying/aws/cf-stub.html and as well
http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/deploying/common/consul-security.html to
generate the consul certificates.

According to the log - the consult_agent process failed to start.

{"timestamp":"1460475448.173879385","source":"confab","message":"confab.agent-client.verify-joined.members.request.failed","log_level":2,"data":{"error":"Get
http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/agent/members: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8

500: getsockopt: connection refused","wan":false}}

==> Starting Consul agent...

==> Error starting agent: Failed to start Consul client: Failed to load
cert/key pair: crypto/tls: failed to parse certificate PEM data
How can I debug this issue ?

Cheers,

sylvain


Re: Doppler/Firehose - Multiline Log Entry

Mike Youngstrom <youngm@...>
 

Hi David,

The problem for me is that I'm searching for a solution that can works for
development (though less of a priority cause you can switch config between
dev and cf) and for viewing logs via "cf logs" in addition to a log
aggregator. I had hoped that /u2028 would work for viewing logs via "cf
logs" but it doesn't in bash. I'd need to write a plugin or something for
cf logs and train all my users to use it. Certainly possible but I'm not
that desperate yet. :)

Re: CPU weight of application

Eric Malm <emalm@...>
 

Hi, Sam,

No, the LRP generated for the CF app will have its CPU weight set
proportionally to its desired memory. Keep in mind that for an app running
on Linux, the CPU weight corresponds to the cpu.shares cgroup, which
enforces a relative amount of CPU usage amongst processes only if there is
contention over CPU. If nothing else is competing for CPU on the VM, your
process can use as much as it is capable of using.

Thanks,
Eric, CF Runtime Diego PM

CF212 - golang app crash - how to perform the troubleshooting?

Rafal Radecki
 

Hi :)

I am starting an app and it crashes. In the meantime when it is trying to start I login to appropriate warden container and after the app crashes I try to start the go binary manually. The problem is that I am not able to see in the environment variables like VCAP_SERVICES and I cannot pass its content correctly to my app.

Can you tell me how to start my app inside the warden container once I login through wsh with proper environment setup? I tried below:

root(a)19g7korv77m:/app# export VCAP_SERVICES='{"mongodb26":[{"credentials":{"dbname":"...}
root(a)19g7korv77m:/app# bin/my_go_binary

but it is obviously not the proper way. How does cloudfoundry pass variables to the process started in the warden container?

BR,
Rafal.


Changing Default Node version in Ruby Buildpack

David Jahn
 

Hi all,

Currently the Ruby Buildpack vendors Node v0.12 to give Ruby applications access to Node.

We are proposing to move the Ruby Buildpack's Node version from v0.12 to v4. More details can be found in the Github issues link below:

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/ruby-buildpack/issues/53

Please comment on the issue or this thread if you have any concerns or feedback.

Re: Request for Multibuildpack Use Cases

David Illsley <davidillsley@...>
 

In the past we've used the multi-buildpack to be able to use ruby sass to
compile SCSS for non-ruby projects (node and Java). In that case we used
the multi-buildpack and a .buildpacks file which worked reasonably well
(and was very clear).

Why hm9000 write message to /var/log/syslog

MaggieMeng
 

Hi,

We recently encountered a CF crash due to full disk issue of root file system of CC and HM9000. I found HM9000 wrote log message to /var/log/syslog. Does anybody know why? I think CF jobs should not use root file system since the stemcell only has 3G space.

CF version is 197.

Thanks,
Maggie
