Pack or unpack Check_MK mkp files.
The purpose of this library is to generate mkp files from source without having to set up a complete Check_MK instance. It is not intended for installing mkp files to a Check_MK site.
This was forked from tom-mi/python-mkp as the project seems abandoned. Merged two open pull requests.
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/copyleft/python-mkp
Create a executable script in the the top directory, e.g. dist.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
from mkp import dist
dist({
'author': 'John Doe',
'description': 'Test the automatic creation of packages',
'download_url': 'http://example.com/',
'name': 'test',
'title': 'Test',
'version': '1.0',
'version.min_required': '1.2.3',
})
Optionally these can also be set:
dist(info, blacklist=[], filename='mypackage.mkp')
Create a directory structure as follows:
├── agents/
├── agent_based/
├── checkman/
├── checks/
├── doc/
├── inventory/
├── lib/
├── notifications/
├── pnp-templates/
├── web/
└── dist.py
Empty directories can be omitted. Running dist.py will pack all files in the
directories listed above to a mkp package with the canonical name and the
specified metadata. The mkp file will be written to the dist directory.
import mkp
package = mkp.load_file('foo-1.0.mkp')
print(package.info)
package.extract_files('path/to/somewhere')
In contrast to dist, this provides the possibility to manually select the
files by replacing find_files. It is also possible to choose a different
output filename.
import mkp
info = {
'author': 'tom-mi',
'description': 'Test the system',
'download_url': 'http://example.com/',
'files': mkp.find_files('path/to/files'),
'name': 'test',
'title': 'Test',
'version': '1.0',
'version.min_required': '1.2.3',
}
mkp.pack_to_file(info, 'path/to/files', 'test-1.0.mkp')
