Config management module

jon-nfc commented 5 months ago

Add a new module configuration management that's intended to serve the purpose of config management.

Details

Be able to configure devices based of of locations and groups. The configuration will be designed to work with Ansible and Ansible Modules.

For nested configuration priority is that of the lowest within the hierarchy of groups or last in the groups. if a device itself has a setting applied, then that setting will take precedence over that of a group.

Device Lifecycle Stages

OS provisioning
SOE Setup
Role deployment
maintenance

This config management module is intended to target SOE Setup and Role deployment.

Device roles #64 moved to ~"module::itam" #70

~~Be able to assign a role to a device that serves the purpose of denoting what the device is.~~

~~#### Features~~

~~[ ] Can have config assigned~~
~~[ ] API endpoint available to pull device role config~~
~~[ ] role config is rendered as part of device config~~

Groups

All devices must be able to be assigned to a group with groups being able to be nested. Groups must also be able to have settings applied to it.

Locations #62

Locations are to be setup as a common item within the core app as these settings can/may be used within other modules. Location awareness is nested and in the following order:

Regions

A region is the first level of location awareness. It's the setting of geographical locations. i.e. continent, country, state etc. Regions contains sites. Regions can be nested.
Sites

A Site is the second level of location awareness and contains Locations. A site is generally below a city (a region). Sites are not nested.
Locations

A location is a physical location at a site. Locations can be nested

configuration needs to be settable based off of a location.

AWX Integration #113

Integrating AWX into the configuration management module will be ideal as it will allow the scheduling and immediate deployment of any changed configuration.

potential requirements for the AWX Integration to be viable:

[ ] Ansible collection designed to work with this ITSM application
- [ ] Callback plugin to update itsm app. i.e. software installed
- [ ] Inventory Plugin to gather device inventory
[ ] this app may require scheduled tasks so as to keep in sync with running jobs on AWX.
[ ] IP Address / DNS name must be known for device not an issue if the inventory is pull as part of the same project where another system has it. However if this app is to operate independently, this app will require these settings stored somewhere

AWX Integration Wishlist

[ ] Devices details page contains list of AWX jobs run against the device
- [ ] AWX Browser #59
[ ] Statistics collection of jobs run on devices
[ ] AWX Inventory from ITSM APP

Wishlist / Features

[ ] Full AWX Integration

Requirements

[x] Config stored as JSON
[ ] UI has option to format as either JSON or YAML

Either UI setting to be converted to JSON for storage
[ ] Location based configuration (added as model to core and configured in settings) #62
- [ ] Regions #62
- [ ] Site #62
- [ ] Location #62
[x] #42 Group based configuration
[ ] A devices setting that conflicts with a group setting takes precedence.
[x] Group precedence of conflicting settings is that of the lowest group in the hierarchy.
[x] #43 Can assign software to a group to be installed/removed _:zap: will be completed as part of v1.0.0_
[ ] #44 hosts can have config added to it
