geneos-toolkit-rs

geneos-toolkit is a Rust library for building Geneos Toolkit compatible applications. It provides utilities for creating structured Geneos Dataviews, handling environment variables (including encrypted ones), to simplify integration development.

Features

• Dataviews: Build and format Geneos Dataviews.
• Secure Environment Variables: Retrieve and decrypt environment variables seamlessly.

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
geneos-toolkit = "0.1"  # Use the latest version available

Usage

• Uses the Builder pattern for easy instance initiation.
• The row header is mandatory, set with set_row_header.
• Headlines are optional and can be added with add_headline.
• At least one value needs to be added to the Dataview, add with add_value.
• Values are added in the format row, column, value.
• Rows and Columns are implied in the values and ordered in the Dataview in the order they were first introduced.
• Headlines are ordered by the order in which they were added to the Dataview.
• Environment variables can be retrieved with get_var or get_secure_var.
• Secure variables require a key file path.

Basic Example Dataview

use geneos_toolkit::prelude::*;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let clear_env_var = get_var_or("CLEAR_ENV_VAR", "Default Value");
    let secure_env_var = get_secure_var("SECURE_ENV_VAR", "/path/to/key_file")?;

    let dataview = Dataview::builder()
        .set_row_header("Process")
        .add_headline("Hostname", &hostname::get().unwrap_or_default().to_string_lossy())
        .add_headline("Timestamp", &chrono::Utc::now().to_rfc3339())
        .add_headline("Clear Env Var", &clear_env_var)
        .add_headline("Secure Env Var", &secure_env_var)
        .add_value("process1", "Status", "Running")
        .add_value("process1", "CPU", "2.5%")
        .add_value("process1", "Memory", "150MB")
        .build()?;

    println!("{}", dataview);
    Ok(())
}
