Overview

Nebula Agent is an daemon service in each machine of nebula cluster. It helps to keep track of nebula metad/storaged/graphd, start/stop them, call local rpc of them. It is only used for backup and restore tools for now.

Quick Start

Download directly

If you are in linux amd64 environment, you could download it directly.

1. Download the agent.

$ wget https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula-agent/releases/download/v3.4.0/agent-3.4.0-linux-amd64

1. Change the agent name.

$ mv agent-3.4.0-linux-amd64 agent

1. Add execute permission to agent.

$ chmod +x agent

Download repo and build

If you are in other environments, you should first install (golang)[https://go.dev/] 1.16+ and git. Then you could download the repo and build agent binary yourself.

1. Clone repo.

$ git clone git@github.com:vesoft-inc/nebula-agent.git

1. Change directory to nebula-agent.

$ cd nebula-agent

1. Compile with make.

$ make

1. Add execute permission to agent.

$ cd bin
$ chmod +x agent

Usage

If you want to use nebula-agent, you should start one and only one nebula-agent service in each nebula cluster machine which contains metad/storaged/metad services. It should be given an agent daemon address and the metad address. If you have multi-metad in one nebula cluster, any address of them will be OK.

Usage of agent:
  --agent string
        The agent server address
  --meta string
        The nebula metad service address, any metad address will be ok
  --debug
        Open debug will output more detail info
  --hbs int
        Agent heartbeat interval to nebula meta, in seconds (default 60)

An example:

./agent --agent="127.0.0.1:8888" --meta="127.0.0.1:9559"

Features

Nebula Agent provide two type of services now: file management in nebula machines and agent service.

File Management

// UploadFile upload file from agent machine to external storage
rpc UploadFile(UploadFileRequest) returns (UploadFileResponse);
// DownloadFile download file from external storage to agent machine
rpc DownloadFile(DownloadFileRequest) returns (DownloadFileResponse);

// MoveDir rename dir in agent machine
rpc MoveDir(MoveDirRequest) returns (MoveDirResponse);
// RemoveDir delete dir in agent machine
rpc RemoveDir(RemoveDirRequest) returns (RemoveDirResponse);
// ExistDir check if dir in agent machine exist
rpc ExistDir(ExistDirRequest) returns (ExistDirResponse);

Agent Service

// start/stop/get status of metad/storaged/graphd service
rpc StartService(StartServiceRequest) returns (StartServiceResponse);
rpc StopService(StopServiceRequest) returns (StopServiceResponse);
rpc ServiceStatus(ServiceStatusRequest) returns (ServiceStatusResponse);

// ban read/write by call graphd's api
rpc BanReadWrite(BanReadWriteRequest) returns (BanReadWriteResponse);
rpc AllowReadWrite(AllowReadWriteRequest) returns (AllowReadWriteResponse);
