Trying out Lumogon

Requirements

Software	Version
Docker	1.13.0 or greater

Downloading Lumogon

You'll need Docker installed and running locally. This should already be true if you have Docker containers you want to analyze with Lumogon.

docker pull puppet/lumogon

Running Lumogon

Now that you have Lumogon installed, let's run it to find out which containers you have running and what we can learn about them. The output from a Lumogon scan will be a JSON listing of all the containers found and what Lumogon could learn about them.

docker run --rm  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock puppet/lumogon scan

After a few seconds you should see your JSON data:

Since Lumogon's output is valid JSON, you can slice and dice it with jq, or pass it along to any other tool you use that can accept JSON input:

docker run --rm  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock puppet/lumogon scan | jq -r  '.containers[] | .container_name + "      " + .capabilities.host.payload.platform + "     " + .capabilities.host.payload.platformversion'

Sending reports to a backend service

Lumogon provides the ability to submit gathered reports to an optional endpoint of your choosing.

NOTE The Puppet provided reporter backend service and all data has been decommissioned as of May 2018.

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock puppet/lumogon report --endpoint https://my-reporter-service.domain.com/

The report command generates the same data as scan, but sends it to the configured reporting endpoint.

More ways to use Lumogon

The examples directory provides more thorough examples of how to use the data provided by Lumogon to test and build your images and containers.

Lumogon command options

Let's get the usage for the Lumogon client:

docker run --rm  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock puppet/lumogon --help
Lumogon is a tool for inspecting, reporting on, and analyzing your container applications.

Usage:
  lumogon [command]

Available Commands:
  help        Help about any command
  report      Scan one or more containers and send the collected information to the Lumogon service
  scan        Scan one or more containers and print the collected information
  version     Show the Lumogon version information

Flags:
  -d, --debug               Print debug logging
  -k, --keep-harvesters     Keeps harvester containers instead of automatically deleting

Feel free to explore those command-line options. Of note:

• The --keep-harvesters flag will preserve temporary containers created on the fly to explore your other containers. You can use docker logs <containerid> to see more of what they found while running.
• You can specify scan to collect data on all your running containers, or you can target a specific container by passing scan <containerid>.
• --debug will generate verbose debugging output so you can see how Lumogon explores your containers.

Building the client from source

If you're making changes to Lumogon, or just interested in seeing how it works under the hood, you might want to try building from source. For this you'll need a few more things:

• Install Go, version 1.8 or later
• Docker Docker, version 17.05 or later
• Download the Lumogon source code
• Build the Docker image

The terminal commands to do this are:

export GOPATH="${HOME}/go"
go get -d -u github.com/puppetlabs/lumogon
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/puppetlabs/lumogon
make image

This will build the client and package it in the puppet/lumogon image.
