pfcon get/set internalvars

Abstract

This page describes how to directly set/get internal variables in pfcon. These variables are typically settings such as host service names, IP addresses, etc.

Preconditions

  • A HOST_IP environment variable that denotes the IP of the host housing the service. In Linux, you can do:
export HOST_IP=$(ip route | grep -v docker | awk '{if(NF==11) print $9}')
  • Make sure that pfcon has been started (see here for more info)
pfcon --forever --httpResponse

msg summary

The msg payload of the REST interaction with pfcon is:

'{  "action": "internalctl",
    "meta": {
                "var":          "storeAddress",
                "get":          "value"
            }
}'

get

pfurl calling syntax

Assuming satisfied preconditions, let's get some data in the internal tree dictionary of the process

pfurl --verb POST --raw \
        --http ${HOST_IP}:5005/api/v1/cmd \
        --httpResponseBodyParse \
        --jsonwrapper 'payload' \
        --msg \
'{  "action": "internalctl",
    "meta": {
                "var":     "/service",
                "get":      "value"
            }
}'

which should return
