stackstorm companion platform for aruba fabric composer

NOTE: MUST BE INSTALLED ON A HOST WITH STACKSTORM INSTALLED PRIOR!!!!!!

Install stackstorm with something like this:

 curl -sSL https://stackstorm.com/packages/install.sh | bash -s -- --user=st2admin
--password='Ch@ngeMe'

This application uses the mongo db installed by StackStorm. Since the DB is secured you will need to log into the StackStorm mongo DB as a StackStorm admin and create a separate DB

Companion mongengine to work with StackStorm mongo DB

log in with admin first

mongo -u admin -p UkIbDILcNbMhkh3KtN6xfr9h admin (passwd in /etc/st2/st2.config)

Then create a new user

db.createUser({user: "appUser",pwd: "passwordForAppUser",roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "app_db" } ]})

Add creds to the Flask application.py file

app.config['MONGODB_SETTINGS'] = {
        'db': 'app_db',
        'host': 'localhost',
        'port': 27017,
        'username': 'appUser',
        'password': 'passwordForAppUser',
        'authentication_source': 'admin'
        }

Now Flask app can access the st2 mongo database installation

Companion uses multiple mongo collections.

You may need to create the page number database manually. The app will crash when you go to create a new entry in the user log.

If this happens do the following

Create number collection and add a record to it.

mongo -u appUser -p passwordForAppUser admin
> use app_db
> db.createCollection('number')
> db.number.insertOne({num:1})
> db.number.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cc84e276e9abf31a65a5f1f"), "num" : 1 }
