Installation script for db setup (fg-metric-install) #110

Installation script would help to initialize MySQL database and a futuregrid.cfg configuration file.

$ fg-metric-install
==========================================
Installing Cloud Metrics ...
==========================================

If you have installed mysql database for Cloud Metrics,
you will be asked to type the database information.

---------------------------------------------------
mysql database info
---------------------------------------------------
1. db host ip address: <type ip address>
2. db port (default: 3306): <type port number or enter>
3. db username: <type username>
4. db password: <type password>
5. db name: <type dbname>

... creating $HOME/.futuregrid/futuregrid.cfg file ...
... database information successfully saved. ...

MySQL table creation

... creating MySQL tables for Cloud Metrics ...
... instance table created ...
... userinfo table created ...
... projectinfo table created ...
... cloudplatform table created ...

MySQL database setup successfully done.

Q1. When does this script need? At the first time use of Cloud Metrics, you need setup database information. Once you installed Cloud Metrics using pip install futuregrid-cloud-metric, you can setup database by fg-metric-install shell executable.

Q2. Why is this step required? Cloud Metric supports cloud usage analysis based on the data on database. You can not perform any analysis and get statistics without configuring database information.

what about just do the configuration in a yaml file and excluding the passwd that is than asked for.

e.g. -f config.yaml

cloud-metric:

database: host: ... port: ... username: .... password: input name: ...

note i put input as password which would result in prompting it . maybe same can applied with other fields.

maybe -o specifies where to store the output file ...

getpass.getpass() prompts the user for a password without echoing. http://docs.python.org/2/library/getpass.html
