mkr

mkr - Command Line Tool For Mackerel written in Go.

DESCRIPTION

mkr is a command-line interface tool for the Mackerel API written in Go. mkr helps to automate tedious daily server operations to best leverage Mackerel's and Unix's tools. mkr output format is JSON, so it can be filtered with a JSON processor such as jq.

INSTALLATION

Install the plugin package from either the yum or the apt repository.

CentOS 5/6

curl -fsSL https://mackerel.io/assets/files/scripts/setup-yum.sh | sh
yum install mkr

Debian 6/7

curl -fsSL https://mackerel.io/assets/files/scripts/setup-apt.sh | sh
apt-get install mkr

Homebrew

You can also install from the brew rule we maintain, but we don't officially support the environment.

brew tap mackerelio/mackerel-agent
brew install mkr

Build from source

$ go get github.com/mackerelio/mkr
$ go install github.com/mackerelio/mkr

USAGE

First the MACKEREL_APIKEY environment variable must be set. It is not necessary to set the MACKEREL_APIKEY on hosts running mackerel-agent. For more details, see below.

export MACKEREL_APIKEY=<Put your API key>

EXAMPLES

mkr status <hostId>
{
    "id": "2eQGEaLxiYU",
    "name": "myproxy001",
    "status": "standby",
    "roleFullnames": [
        "My-Service:proxy"
    ],
    "isRetired": false,
    "createdAt": "2014-11-15T21:41:00+09:00"
}

mkr hosts --service My-Service --role proxy
[
    {
        "id": "2eQGEaLxiYU",
        "name": "myproxy001",
        "status": "standby",
        "roleFullnames": [
            "My-Service:proxy"
        ],
        "isRetired": false,
        "createdAt": "2014-11-15T21:41:00+09:00"
    },
    {
        "id": "2eQGDXqtoXs",
        "name": "myproxy002",
        "status": "standby",
        "roleFullnames": [
            "My-Service:proxy"
        ],
        "isRetired": false,
        "createdAt": "2014-11-15T21:41:00+09:00"
    },
]

The format of createdAt uses ISO-8601 in the current time zone.

The mkr hosts command has an '-f' option to format the output.

mkr hosts -f '{{range .}}{{if (len .Interfaces)}}{{(index .Interfaces 0).IPAddress}}{{end}}{{"\t"}}{{.Name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}'
10.0.1.1  myproxy001
10.0.1.2  myproxy002
...

mkr create --status working -R My-Service:db-master mydb001
mkr update --status maintenance --roleFullname My-Service:db-master <hostId>

cat <<EOF | mkr throw --host <hostId>
<name>  <value> <time>
<name>  <value> <time>
EOF
...

cat <<EOF | mkr throw --service My-Service
<name>  <value> <time>
<name>  <value> <time>
EOF
...

mkr fetch --name loadavg5 2eQGDXqtoXs
{
    "2eQGDXqtoXs": {
        "loadavg5": {
            "time": 1416061500,
            "value": 0.025
        }
    }
}

mkr retire <hostId> ...

Examples (on hosts running mackerel-agent)

Specifying the and MACKEREL_APIKEY is not necessary because mkr refers to /var/lib/mackerel-agent/id and /etc/mackerel-agent/mackerel-agent.conf instead of specifying manually.

mkr status

mkr update --status maintenance <hostIds>...

mkr fetch --name loadavg5 <hostId>

cat <<EOF | mkr throw --host <hostId>
<name>  <value> <time>
EOF

mkr retire

ADVANCED USAGE

$ mkr update --st working $(mkr hosts -s My-Service -r proxy | jq -r '.[].id')
