wander

An efficient terminal application/TUI for interacting with your HashiCorp Nomad cluster.

• Browse jobs, allocations, and tasks
• Live tail logs
• Tail global or targeted events
• Exec to interact with running tasks
• Administrative actions (e.g. restart tasks)
• View resource usage stats (memory, CPU)
• See full job or allocation specs
• Save any content to a local file

wander is written with tools from Charm.

Feature requests and bug reports are welcome.

Usage

Run the app by running wander in a terminal. See wander --help and config section below for details.

Configuration

wander can be configured in three ways:

1. Command line arguments, visible by running wander --help.
2. Environment variables. These map to the configuration file below (e.g. nomad_addr in yaml is the NOMAD_ADDR environment variable).
3. A yaml config file at $HOME/.wander.yaml, or a custom config file path passed to the --config argument. Complete example below.

Priority in order of highest to lowest is command line arguments, then environment variables, then the config file.

Example yaml file showing all options (copy this into $HOME/.wander.yaml and uncomment/edit as desired):

# Nomad address. Default "http://localhost:4646"
#nomad_addr: "http://localhost:4646"

#nomad_http_auth: ""

# Path to a PEM encoded CA cert file to use to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate
#nomad_cacert: ""

# Path to a directory of PEM encoded CA cert files to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. If both cacert and capath are specified, cacert is used

#wander_log_offset: 1000000

# If True, start with filtering active on first view. Default False
#wander_start_filtering: False

# If True, filtering highlights and allows cycling through matches, but does not remove surrounding context. Default True
#wander_filter_with_context: True

# If True, follow new logs as they come in rather than having to reload. Default True
#wander_log_tail: True

# If True, copy the full path to file after save. Default False

# Topics to follow in event streams, comma-separated. Default "Job,Allocation,Deployment,Evaluation"

Exec Command

wander ships with an exec command similar to the nomad alloc exec utility. Example usage:

# specify job and task, assuming single allocation
wander exec alright_stop --task redis echo "hi"

# specify allocation, assuming single task
wander exec 3dca0982 echo "hi"

# use prefixes of jobs or allocation ids
wander exec al echo "hi"  # prefix of job "alright_stop"
wander exec 3d echo "hi"  # prefix of alloc ID "3dca0982"

# specify flags for the exec command with --
wander exec alright_stop --task redis -- echo -n "hi"

SSH App

wander can be served via ssh application. For example, you could host an internal ssh application for your company such that anyone on the internal network can ssh -p <your-port> <your-host> and immediately access wander without installing or configuring anything.

Optionally, users can pass in their own nomad token with ssh -p <port> <host> -t <token>. The -t argument does not stand for token - it forces ssh to allocate a pty.

Serve the ssh app with wander serve.

Trying It Out

You can try wander out by running a local development nomad cluster following these instructions:

# in first terminal session, start and leave nomad running in dev mode
sudo nomad agent -dev -bind 0.0.0.0 -log-level INFO

# in a different terminal session, create example job and run it
nomad job init
nomad job run example.nomad

# run wander
wander

Manually Specifying the wander Version

wander uses carlmjohnson/versioninfo to expose version/revision info. If the environment in which you’re installing wander does not allow for git repos, prebuilt binaries, or go install, then you can manually specify the output of wander --version at build time as follows:

go build -ldflags "-X github.com/robinovitch61/wander/cmd.Version=vX.Y.Z"

In this case, you’re responsible for ensuring the specified version is in sync with what is actually being built.

Development

To manually build:

git clone [email protected]:robinovitch61/wander.git
cd wander
go build  # outputs ./wander executable

The scripts directory contains various development helper scripts.

If the WANDER_DEBUG environment variable is set to true, the dev.Debug(s string) function outputs to WANDER_DEBUG_PATH (defaults to wander.log).
