Updating ZooKeeper

ZooKeeper configurations should be stored on disk in the following structure starting at $METRON_HOME/config/zookeeper:

global.json: The global config
sensors: The subdirectory containing sensor enrichment configuration JSON (for example, snort.json, bro.json)

By default, this directory as deployed by the ansible infrastructure is at $METRON_HOME/config/zookeeper.

While the configs are stored on disk, they must be loaded into ZooKeeper to be used. To this end, there is a utility program to assist in this called $METRON_HOME/bin/zk_load_config.sh.

This has the following options:

-f,--force: Force operation
-h,--help: Generate Help screen
-i,--input_dir <DIR>: The input directory containing the configuration files named like "$source.json"
-m,--mode <MODE>: The mode of operation: DUMP, PULL, PUSH
-o,--output_dir <DIR>: The output directory which will store the JSON configuration from ZooKeeper
-z,--zk_quorum <host:port,[host:port]*>: ZooKeeper Quorum URL (zk1:port,zk2:port,...)

Usage examples:

To dump the existing configs from ZooKeeper on the single node vagrant machine:
$METRON_HOME/bin/zk_load_configs.sh -z node1:2181 -m DUMP
To push the configs into ZooKeeper on the single node vagrant machine:
$METRON_HOME/bin/zk_load_configs.sh -z node1:2181 -m PUSH -i $METRON_HOME/config/zookeeper
To pull the configs from ZooKeeper to the single node vagrant machine disk:
$METRON_HOME/bin/zk_load_configs.sh -z node1:2181 -m PULL -o $METRON_HOME/config/zookeeper -f
