Contributor Comments - EC2 Deployment - Updating control_path to accommodate for Linux

In Metron 0.4.1-rc4, using "control_path = ~/.ssh/ansible-ssh-%%C"(amazon-ec2/ansible.cfg) in a Linux environment ( such as ClearOS release 7.4.0[ClearOS is based on CentOS] with npm 3.10.10, node 6.11.1, docker 1.12.6, mvn 3.3.9, ansible 2.2.2.0, No Vagrant) could throw the following error:

"TASK [setup] *******************************************************************
fatal: [ec2-xx-yy-0-130.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: percent_expand: unknown key %C\r\n", "unreachable": true}" 

I noticed the line was formally "control_path = %(directory)s/%%h-%%p-%%r" (which worked for the Linux env above)] was changed to "control_path = ~/.ssh/ansible-ssh-%%C"

This PR is to change the line to "control_path = ~/.ssh/ansbile-ssh-%%h-%%r" to make amazon-ec2 also potentially deployable with Linux while preserving a small path length.

This is an attempt to resolve the path length issue as described in the following links:
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_configuration.html - see control_path
ansible/ansible#11536 (comment) - using %%C


Testing method:
Made change to ansible.cfg file (in Metron 0.4.1-rc4) as described in this PR then ran ./run.sh (metron/metron-deployment/amazon-ec2/).
If successful then the following should appear:

ok: [xxxxxxxxx.compute.amazonaws.com] => {
    "Success": [
        "Apache Metron deployed successfully",
        "   Metron          @ http://xxxxxxxxx.compute.amazonaws.com:5000",
        "   Ambari          @ http://xxxxxxxxx.compute.amazonaws.com:8080",
        "   Sensor Status   @ http://xxxxxxxxx.compute.amazonaws.com:2812",
        "   Zookeeper       @ xxxxxxxxx.compute.amazonaws.com:2181",
        "   Kafka           @ xxxxxxxxx.compute.amazonaws.com:6667,xxxxxxxxx..compute.amazonaws.com:6667,xxxxxxxxx.compute.amazonaws.com:6667,xxxxxxxxx.compute.amazonaws.com:6667,xxxxxxxxx.compute.amazonaws.com:6667",
        "For additional information, see https://metron.apache.org/'"
    ]
}

    mvn -q clean integration-test install && build_utils/verify_licenses.sh 
    
  • Have you written or updated unit tests and or integration tests to verify your changes?

  • If adding new dependencies to the code, are these dependencies licensed in a way that is compatible for inclusion under ASF 2.0?

  • Have you verified the basic functionality of the build by building and running locally with Vagrant full-dev environment or the equivalent?

It is also recommended that travis-ci is set up for your personal repository such that your branches are built there before submitting a pull request.

For 0.4.1-rc4, using "control_path = ~/.ssh/ansible-ssh-%%C" for a Linux environment ( such as ClearOS[Distro of CentOS] npm 3.10.10, node 6.11.1, docker 1.12.6, mvn 3.3.9, ansible 2.2.2.0, No Vagrant) could throw the following error:
```
"TASK [setup] *******************************************************************
fatal: [ec2-xx-yy-0-130.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: percent_expand: unknown key %C\r\n", "unreachable": true}" 
```
I noticed the line was formally "control_path = %(directory)s/%%h-%%p-%%r" (which worked for the Linux env above) was changed to "control_path = ~/.ssh/ansible-ssh-%%C"

Hello,
Just wondering if what needs to be done next to get this committed.

Just an FYI: This PR is to simply change "control_path = ~/.ssh/ansible-ssh-%%C"(in ../amazon-ec2/ansible.cfg) to "control_path = ~/.ssh/ansbile-ssh-%%h-%%r" to allow linux systems to deploy to EC2. When I tested the change with Mac it didn't throw any errors at the same point for ""TASK [setup] ***"

@JonZeolla What do you think about this one? I remember you fought this specific issue a few months back.

What is the status of this? Can someone who can do EC2 deploys test it out?

@ottobackwards I will try this out this week.

FYI, I just attempted to spin up an EC2 instance and it failed for me. Switching back to the previous control_path setting fixed it.

@ottobackwards Did you or anyone else happen to test this on a Mac? I believe @mmiklavc runs a Mac and it is not working for him. I am curious if this is working for anyone on a Mac.

I don't have an EC2 to use unfortunately. @lvets is the only one who answered the call to test. If it doesn't work on the mac, then we need a new jira and proposed fix I guess

@nickwallen My similar issue in the past was spinning up full-dev (centos) on a centos host. I think there's a closed PR on that somewhere.

Could the following approach be taken?:

In metron-deployment/amazon-ec2/README.md add two new "Errors" in the "Common Error Section"

Error: ''Failed to connect to the host via ssh: percent_expand: unknown key %C\r\n"

This error might occur if you are deploying with Linux OS. The %C in the control_path is compatible with Mac OS but might not be compatible certain Linux operating systems.

Solution

If you see this error update the control_path in ansble.cfg to the following.

control_path = ~/.ssh/ansbile-ssh-%%h-%%r

Error: ''too long for Unix domain socket\rn\n"

This error might occur if you are deploying with Mac OS.

Solution

If you see this error when deploying with a Mac update the control_path in ansble.cfg to the following.

control_path = ~/.ssh/ansible-ssh-%%C

Update ansble.cfg to include comments:

#When deploying with Mac OS use this control_path if you receive the following error "too long for Unix domain socket":
[ssh_connection]
control_path = ~/.ssh/ansible-ssh-%%C

#When deploying with Linux OS use this control_path if you receive the following error "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: percent_expand: unknown key %C":
#[ssh_connection]
#control_path = ~/.ssh/ansbile-ssh-%%h-%%r
