System configuration file
The kinguard system components store all generic none security sensitive configuration in a central configuration file "/etc/kinguard/sysconfig.json".
This file should however never be manually edited it should always be accessed programatically using either libkgp or any wrapper to this library described further down.
File Syntax
For reference here is the layout of the sysconfig json file. Please read the file for reference but never ever edit it manually.
The complete configuration file is one json object (note that javascript object syntax is not permitted).
The file is set up using a "scope" and "key/value" pairs.
All scope and key identifiers shall be lowercase and written with letters and digits only, no "-" or "_".
Example:
{
"webapps":
{
"theme":"kgp"
},
"hostinfo":
{
"unitid":"c79f425c-9af7-4f38-b1ba-d53277b14939",
"hostname":"myhost",
"domain":"example.org"
}
}
Native access via libkgp
Libkgp is the main library to use when programming locally for the kinguard system it contains c++ objects for managing all kinguard functions. No official documentation exists for this yet but pointers on how it works can be found in the unit tests and in the applications utilizing them for example KGP backend and KGP startup control
To access the system configuration the SysConfig class
Wrappers
Most wrappers can also be used to access other information provided by libkgp, such as the current running system type, information about system storage etc.
Shell Scripts
For shell scripts, use "kgp-sysinfo". Run kgp-sysinfo --help for options.
Example:
# kgp-sysinfo -c hostinfo -k unitid -p
c79f425c-9af7-4f38-b1ba-d53277b14939
# kgp-sysinfo -c hostinfo -k unitid
{"unitid":"c79f425c-9af7-4f38-b1ba-d53277b14939"}
Python
For Python3, use the python library "pylibopi"
Example:
>>> import pylibopi >>> pylibopi.StorageDevice() '/dev/disk/by-path/platform-f10a8000.sata-ata-2'
C
For C programs, libkgp_wrapper can be used.
PHP
Currently no native PHP wrapper exists, but kgp-sysinfo defaults to output json (see above) that can easily be used in PHP.
