squirro_assets tool
Starting with the 2.4.5 Squirro release, you can use the squirro_asset
tools to manage all the custom "code artifacts" in Squirro server systems such as Dashboard Loaders, Dashboard Widgets, or Pipelets.
The first parameter is the type of asset: dashboard_loader
, widget
, or pipelet
, and if at any time you are unsure of what parameters are allowed, you can request help by adding the --help
parameter.

Dashboard loaders
You can upload new or modified dashboard loaders using the upload command, for example:
> squirro_asset dashboard_loader upload --folder <dashboard-loader-folder> --token <token> --cluster <cluster-url>
where <dashboard-folder>
is a directory containing dashboard loader html, css and javascript files along with a file named dashboard_loader.json
formatted in hjson, and you specify one of the options to connect to a Squirro server installation (using <token> and <cluster-url> in the above example).
You can list all dashboard loaders using the same parameters as for upload except --folder
:
> squirro_asset dashboard_loader upload --token <token> --cluster <cluster-url> [ { "hash": "ec43609e-c5c6-11e6-ac8a-80e65013fba6", "name": "name-1", "title": "title-1", "directory": "/var/lib/squirro/topic/assets/dashboard_loader/tenant", "resources": { "css": [ "mycss.css" ] } }, { "directory": "/var/lib/squirro/topic/assets/dashboard_loader/tenant", "hash": "bed8e082-c395-11e6-94ff-000c29dfbc49", "name": "name-2", "resources": { "html": [ "main.html" ] }, "title": "title-2" } ]
Dashboard widgets
Starting with Squirro release 2.4.5 you can also use the squirro_asset
tool in place of the squirro_widget tool to upload and list custom dashboard widgets using the same options as for dashboard loaders.
To upload:
> squirro_asset widget upload --folder <dashboard-widget-folder> --token <token> --cluster <cluster-url>
and to list widgets:
> squirro_asset widget list --token 0da7dc97bdacebf6123fb61f34482f247b8eb37f5a19cba0e296851b5094e77aa5edbc96041f34ad3aba43bd4708267f1cf09b41028137cf57e53f7ae9829998 --cluster https://testing.squirro.net [ { "hash": "9a6cee78-28e5-11e6-90b4-843835563242", "name": "name-1", "title": "title-1", "directory": "/var/lib/squirro/topic/widgets/tenant", "resources": { "html": [ "cells.html", "row.html", "widget.html", "header.html" ], "css": [ "widget.css" ], "js": [ "widget.js" ] } }, { "directory": "/var/lib/squirro/topic/widgets/tenant", "hash": "228da928-c076-11e6-b6c3-80e65013fba6", "name": "name-2", "resources": { } } ]
Pipelets
Also with release 2.4.5 you can use the squirro_asset
tool in place of the pipelet tool mentioned under Pipelets to manage pipelets. Instead of
> squirro_pipelet <any options>
you can using squirro_asset followed by pipelet as asset type like so:
> squirro_asset <any options used for squirro_pipelet>
For convenience you can use the --help option to obtain detailed help on squirro_asset pipelet commands and options:
> squirro_asset pipelet --help usage: squirro_asset pipelet [-h] {consume,list,upload,source,rerun,validate} ... positional arguments: {consume,list,upload,source,rerun,validate} sub-command help validate Validates that the script doesn't violate any restrictions consume Runs one or more items through the consume method of the pipelet rerun Re-runs a pipelet on the server upload Uploads the script to Squirro source Creates a source that is configured with `name` list List all available pipelets optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit
