MAIA Agents (MA) are usually installed on systems separated from the core web app. Part of the installation and operation is managing environment and configuration files and data.

File list

Updated:2022-11-03
Environment file

Defines the values of the variables used by MAIA agent.

The environment variable BLT_ENV defines the path to the environment file (*.yml), and is set in the command shell that executes the MAIA Agent commands.

Gem file

Defines the gems used by MAIA Agent.

The environment variable BUNDLE_GEMFILE defines the path to the Gemfile, and is set in the command shell that executes the MAIA Agent commands.

Component configuration file

Defines the behavior of a component when MAIA Agent performs commands on the component. The file must be present in the root directory of each checked out component. The file can be:

The name of the file (*.yml) is specified by the parameter COMPONENT_CONF_FILE in the environment file. The default name of the file is MAIA.yml.

Repository file

Defines the names of the repositories that are monitored by a Git scanner.

The repository file contains plain text with each repository name on separate lines. The name of the file is user defined. The repository file is used when scanning multiple repositories.

If a single repository is scanned the name of the repository is specified from the command line.



Environment file

Updated:2022-11-03

The environment file (environment.yml ) defines the information needed for MAIA Agent (MA) commands associated with scan, build, deploy and test.

The file must be stored in the directory where MAIA Agent is installed.

Setup the environment file

This chapter contains examples of the environment file and parameter descriptions.

  1. Open the directory where MA is installed.

  2. Create the environment file for MA, environment.yml

    touch environment.yml
  3. Open the environment file for editing.

  4. Add parameters to the file (see parameters and example below).

  5. Export the variables in the environment file to BLT_ENV.

    export BLT_ENV=*path_to_maia_agent*/environment.yml

Parameters

The column headed M/C/O in the table refers to whether the parameter/attribute is mandatory, conditional or optional. The following notation is used:

Meaning
M Mandatory – always present.
C Conditional – present under certain conditions (as specified in the description).
O Optional – can be present.

MAIA Agent can be used scanning (SCAN) or/and Build/Deploy/Test (BDT). The activity controls the usage of parameters as indicated in the parameter list below.

Parameter M/C/O Description
AFTER_CHECKOUT O (BDT) The commands performed on a component directly after the command maia checkout. If a suite component is checked out together with its descendants, any commands for the suite are run before the descendants are checked out. The AFTER_CHECKOUT parameter can contain one or more mappings between a component and a set of commands. Each mapping is a key-value pair with the syntax component_name: set_of_commands
BUILD_ROOT M (BDT) Path to the directory where finished builds are stored. Used by command maia build.
COMPONENT_CONF_FILE M (BDT) Name of the component configuration file located at the root of each component. The file has .yml-format. The default name of the file is MAIA.yml
COMPONENT_STATE_FILE M (BDT) Name of the file that stores states for a component. The file is used by MAIA agent to correctly perform a number of commands. The file is created by the command maia checkout and is updated by the commands maia build and maia fetch.
DELIVERABLE_ROOT O (BDT) The path to the temporary directory used by maia fetch.
ENVIRONMENT_NAME O Specify name to be used for build or test environment. Default value is user@hostname
ENVIRONMENT_TAGS O Array of strings to identity the build or test environment. Default value is [user, hostname]
GIT_SCAN_TRACKED_FILE M (SCAN) The file used to store a list of commits that are scanned. The file is created and updated by the command maia git_scan.
KAFKA_BROKER M A list of the hosts that Kafka sends events to. A broker will be created for each host defined.
KAFKA_TOPIC M A list of the topics to that a consumer subscribes to. The topics defined in MAIA Agent (producer) must correspond the topics in MAIA WebApp (consumer). Events with topics not defined in MAIA WebApp will not be received (consumed).
LOG_ROOT M Path to the directory where logs for builds and tests are stored. The path is used by the commands maia build and maia test.
MAIA_CORE_HOST M Address to the host where MAIA WebApp is installed.
MAIA_CORE_HTTP_PORT M Port number used to access MAIA WebApp.
MAIA_CORE_APP_CONTEXT M A part of the MAIA application URL. The full MAIA application URL is: https://MAIA_CORE_HOST:MAIA_CORE_HTTP_PORT/MAIA_CORE_APP_CONTEXT
MAIA_CORE_API_TOKEN_FILE M The local path/name to the file where the token is stored.
MAIA_CORE_USE_SSL M Defines whether SSL is used to access the MAIA WebApp. The parameter can be true or false.
REPOSITORIES M The mapping between repository names and their source code. The REPOSITORIES parameter can contain one or more mappings to either Git or Subversion repositories. Each mapping is a key-value pair with the syntax repository_name:repository_adress
SRC_ROOT C (BDT) Path to the directory that all components are checked out to. Used when MAIA Agent is controlling the cloning/updating of repositories.

Component configuration file

Updated:2022-11-22

The Component Configuration File is a YAML file with erb-syntax where you configure specific instructions for MAIA Agent. It defines the steps needed to perform and/or send information about checkout, build, fetch, test and deploy a specific component and track to MAIA web app.

The file must be stored at the root of your repository. If more than one track is built, a new configuration file must be checked out before the track is built.

The default name name of the file is MAIA.yml after installation, but can be redefined by editing the parameter COMPONENT_CONFIG_FILE in the environment file.

Parameters

The column headed M/C/O in the table refers to whether the parameter/attribute is mandatory, conditional or optional. The following notation is used:

Meaning
M Mandatory – always present.
C Conditional – present under certain conditions (as specified in the description).
O Optional – can be present.

MAIA Agent is used for scanning (SCAN) or/and Build/Deploy/Test (BDT), which activity is indicated in the parameter list below.

Parameter M/C/O Description
version M The protocol version of the component configuration file. The protocol version must be 5.0.
component_name O The name of the component in MAIA application.
rev M The revision of the component. The revision can be a string or a call to a shell script.
subcomponents C The list of all the sub components the component has in MAIA application, if the component is a collection. The sub component can contain collections in any number of levels.
label C The label of a previously built sub component. If the label is defined, the same code that was used in the previous build will be checked out again to be built. The label cannot be used together with the parameter revision or the parameter track.
name M The name of a sub component.
rebuild O Defines whether the sub component, together with any sub component, will be checked out and rebuilt. If true the sub component, together with any sub component, will be checked out and rebuilt. (Default) If false, the sub component will not be checked out, but its sub component will be checked out. The sub component will not be rebuilt.
revision C The client defined revision of a previously built sub component. If the revision is defined, the same code that was used in the previous build will be checked out again to be built. The revision cannot be used together with the parameter label or the parameter track.
track C The name of a track if the last commit of a sub component is fetched. The track cannot be used together with the parameter label or the parameter revision.
test O Defined whether tests on sub components should be run. Test is set to true by default.
clean O Section with instructions for the build clean phase.
cmd O The commands that will be executed during the build clean phase.

cmd O The commands that will be executed during the build fetch phase.
deploy O Section with instructions for the deploy phase.
cmd O The commands that will be executed during the deploy phase.
deploy_path_generator O The scripts called in the parameter cmd. The scripts generate the names and the paths to the deliverables specified in the section deliverables, and post the information to MAIA WebAPP. If the section deliverables is missing, the information will not be posted to MAIA WebApp. See information below.
