Add Golang routes for reporting configuration differences to Traffic Ops in ort script #1617

Open KevinMackenzie opened 6 years ago

KevinMackenzie commented 6 years ago

It would be useful to have the ort script send the configuration differences between the cache's configuration files and those in the Traffic Ops database (in every mode except REVALIDATE). This way the administrators of the CDN can see which/when caches are out of date and in what way.

@limited do you have anything to add?

sounds good!

this feels like a snapshot diff but for caches. any thoughts on this @rob05c outside of simply running atstccfg locally on a cache to see the pending changes.

rob05c commented 3 years ago

Yeah, I think this would be a valuable feature. But it's a good amount of work. We'd need work on both the ORT side to get the diff and POST it to TO, and endpoint(s) on TO to receive that.

I'd +1 that. But that work should be coordinated with fixing the Snapshot-Queue issue a.k.a. "killing the chicken." Because fixing Snapshot-Queue also involves having ORT POST the date/snapshot that it applied back to TO. So, there might be some overlap, or maybe we could do both at the same time, or something.
