Hi,
I would like to use bbcombotest.cfg to define dependencies between services. I have done some testing and came up with a couple of questions:
The format of a combotest is basically name=value. Are there any known limitations to this scheme (e.g. max. length of "value")?
I tried to define a "combo of combos" but kept on getting errors. Is this something that is not supported? If it is not, I can still work around it by explicitly "expanding" the combos but then my "values" would be very long and hard to maintain. I was also wondering if I'd be hitting any limits (see 1.)
I would like to automatically disable application monitors during a software update and enable when the update is done. I was thinking of creating a "rollout" test and have all services depend on it using bbcombos. Then I could have the upgrade script disable this "rollout" only. For example:
serviceCluster.serviceA_combo = (host1.serviceA + host2.serviceA) >= 1 || (host1.rollout + host2.rollout == 0)
Has anybody implemented anything similar or have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Ben
