This is the Console Node Service. It is responsible for handling direct console node connections - recording console logs, forwarding the log information to SMF, and providing interactive console access.
Console Data Service handles recording the current states of which nodes are being monitored by which pods.
Console Operator Service handles watching for hardware changes, watches for problems with running Console Node pods, and scales the number of Console Node pods based on the number of nodes being monitored.
All of the console logs are available through the Console Operator service pod, all Console Node pods, and through SMF.
To access the logs through the Console Operator service pod, find the pod name, exec into the pod, then tail the correct console log file. Each node has a console log file in the directory /var/log/conman with the name console.XNAME where XNAME is the full xname of the node.
ncn-m001: # kubectl -n services get pods | grep console-operator
cray-console-operator-677bc95cf9-wt8xt 2/2 Running 0 18h
ncn-m001: # kubectl -n services exec -it cray-console-operator-677bc95cf9-wt8xt -- sh
/ # tail -F /var/log/conman/console.XNAME
Each node has the console connection handled by one of the cray-console-node-N pods. The user must exec into the correct pod to connect to a particular node. To find the correct pod that is monitoring a particular node, query the Console Operator Service to find the correct Console Node pod:
ncn-m001: # kubectl -n services exec cray-console-operator-677bc95cf9-wt8xt -- sh -c '/app/get-node XNAME'
{"podname":"cray-console-node-1"}
ncn-m001: # kubectl -n services exec -it cray-console-node-1 -- sh
sh-4.4# conman -j XNAME
<ConMan> Connection to console [XNAME] opened.

This repo uses some build helpers from the cms-meta-tools repo. See that repo for more details.
If you wish to perform a local build, you will first need to clone or copy the contents of the
cms-meta-tools repo to ./cms_meta_tools in the same directory as the Makefile. When building
on github, the cloneCMSMetaTools() function clones the cms-meta-tools repo into that directory.
For a local build, you will also need to manually write the .version, .docker_version (if this repo builds a docker image), and .chart_version (if this repo builds a helm chart) files. When building on github, this is done by the setVersionFiles() function.

When creating any new files in this repo, if they contain source code, they must have the HPE copyright and license text in their header, unless the file is covered under someone else's copyright/license (in which case that should be in the header).

When in doubt, provided the file is not covered under someone else's copyright or license, then it does not hurt to add ours to the header.
