This module provides a simple way to work with the Consul Service Discovery API from python.
Usage examples:
import consul service = consul.Client() service.register(id='flexlm1', name='flexlm', address='10.112.0.211', port=28518, tags=('flexlm1', light', 'v1'), check={'id': 'flexlm', 'name': 'flexlm on port 28518', 'tcp': '10.112.0.211:28518', 'Interval': '30s', 'timeout': '2s'}) service.deregister(id='flexlm1') service.list() service.info(name='flexlm')
The registration/deregistration is done using the consul agent API:
http://localhost:8500 PUT /v1/agent/service/register PUT /v1/agent/service/deregister/<serviceId>
To query the information the catalog API is used:
http://localhost:8500 GET /v1/catalog/services GET /v1/catalog/service/bigdata GET /v1/catalog/nodes GET /v1/catalog/node/c13-9
The payload for the registration request has the following format:
{ "ID": "flexlm1", "Name": "flexlm", "Tags": ["flexlm1", light", "v1"], "Address": "10.112.0.211", "Port": 28518, "Check": { "id": "flexlm", "name": "flexlm on port 28518", "tcp": "10.112.0.211:28518", "Interval": "30s", "timeout": "2s" } }
