Kafka-Ops: yet another CLI utility to automate Kafka cluster management
Wednesday, August 12th, 2020
This is just an introduction of my CLI tool for idempotent management of Kafka cluster objects (topics and ACLs for now). It is already adopted by our CI/CD pipelines for preparing dedicated or multi-tenant Kafka clusters during deployment of the microservices that act as producers. So we've got rid of any manual management of Kafka topics and ACLs.
The utility is called Kafka-Ops and its source code and releases are available at https://github.com/agapoff/kafka-ops
All the needed documentation is provided in README so I won't post it here. Please refer to Github, use, feedback, contribute.

Nagios style plugin for Solace Router monitoring
Tuesday, March 21st, 2017
Solace documentation contains information on some Nagios integration options and a mythical plugin for monitoring Solace from Nagios. But this plugin can not be obtained from Solace site and even from Solace support. The exact quotation from Solace support sounds as "our Nagios plugins are not a product, they are projectware that we provide as part of a paid services engagement related to integration with Nagios". Quite uncomfortable, huh.
So I have prepared own Nagios style plugin (it can obviously be used in Icinga, Shinken etc.) which covers all our needs. It makes use of SEMPv1 management protocol. This protocol is described as legacy in the official documentation but SEMPv2 is not ready yet for usage.

How to monitor Linux network quality for different directions
Wednesday, December 7th, 2016
Sometimes we might need to know if the network connection between our host and other peers is good enough. The main quality attributes of the network connection are badwidth (quite easy to explore) and the packet loss rate (quite difficult to explore). Of course we can monitor the overall TCP retransmit rate (for example using something like netstat -s | grep -i retrans), build the graph and stare at it. But we'll never know which direction is loosing the packets and where is the problem itself.
I have not found the ready-to-use solution and created my own. You can see the results right here on the screenshot.

Generate RPM SPEC changelogs in Git
Tuesday, November 8th, 2016
This little note will be useful for those who is lazy enough for dealing with changelogs in RPM spec-files and lazy enough to implement own solution. I will present the script to work from inside the git repository. It can check if the changelog complies the current version and update the changelog accordingly if needed. No git tags are needed.
There are two variants of the script. One is for running on the build server (Jenkins/Bamboo/TeamCity…) right before building the RPM. And the second one is the post-commit hook. Second option can be useful if your build server has no write access to the repository or if you'd like to keep git history cleaner (this option doesn't create extra commits).
The script needs rpmspec utility to be installed. So if you are using some non-RH distro just look for the needed package. In Ubuntu you need the package named 'rpm'.

How to pack Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) to JDK RPM
Friday, July 22nd, 2016
Let's imagine you have hundreds of hosts where you automatically install or update HotSpot JDK from the RPM-repository. For example, by RPM dependencies while installing or updating some another software. You maintain your repository by yourself and you'd like to have JDK and JCE in one RPM package.
Then this tiny article will help you.

How to query MS SQL Server database from Linux CLI
Wednesday, June 15th, 2016
So let's assume that we need a small keyhole to look into SQL Server database and query some data from it. Maybe we'd like to automate some reporting stuff or to make some web GUI with some information stored in MSSQL. And of course we don't want to deal with Windows.
Fortunately there is such a project as FreeTDS. It gives us a driver for using with ODBC engine. I will show how to configure it and how to retreive some data right from MSSQL.
Everything written below is true for the case of RHEL/CentOS 7.

Some Jenkins Groovy magic
Tuesday, April 19th, 2016
— Groovy
This is a short post with some Groovy snippets which can be used in Jenkins to perform some fancy stuff. They are tested in the real life and have proven their worth. I believe this is not the final release of this article 'cuz I am going to update it with some new examples as soon as I prepare them.
Let's see them.

Links between Oracle and PostgreSQL, or There and Back Again
Thursday, September 24th, 2015
Please don’t wait for any revelations from this article. This is just a compilation of some notes about configuring links between Oracle Database 11.2 and PostgreSQL 9.4. Everything written below is true for the case of Linux (RHEL/CentOS 7 to be exact) and I cannot guarantee its operability on other platforms or versions.
So let’s get to the point. In the first part of the article I will show how to configure the DB link from Oracle to PostgreSQL using ODBC driver and Oracle Heterogeneous Services (HS) agent. In the second part I will show how to access Oracle databases from PostgreSQL using foreign data wrapper (oracle_fdw).

Fcgiwrap, or How to run CGI-scripts without Apache and mod_cgi
Tuesday, August 25th, 2015
It’s definitely a bad idea to get Apache running only for executing some lightweight CGI-scripts. And it’s definitely a good idea to use Nginx where possible. But Nginx while being a perfect reverse proxy just cannot run GGI because of its event-based paradigm. This is the situation where the strengths become weaknesses. But we can still deal with this by virtue of some third-party tools like fastcgi wrappers. One of such tools is fcgiwrap server and in this post I’ll show how to build it and how to use it.

Про Oracle, ASM, iSCSI и ядро 2.6.39-400
Monday, January 19th, 2015
Опять заметка про Oracle и опять в стиле "баги атакуют". Может, кому-нибудь пригодится. Итак, есть Oracle 11g, RAC (хоть это и не имеет значения) и группа дисков, получаемых по iSCSI и скормленных в ASM. Пока всё неплохо, но тут переходим к ключевому моменту: всё это работает на RHEL5 с UEK-ядром из ветки 2.6.39-400.
В какой-то момент становится понятно, что, если остановить iSCSI-таргет, с которого мы получаем диски, то, несмотря на normal redundancy и на наличие нескольких failgroups, инстанс ASM умирает, прихватывая с собой весь clusterware. Надёжность летит к чертям, кластер может упасть от любого чиха.
