SQL Schema

Table of Contents

CFEngine allows standardized SQL SELECT queries to be used with REST API. Queries can be used with following database schema.

curl -k --user admin:admin https://hub.cfengine.com/api/query -X POST -d "{ \"query\": \"SELECT Hosts.HostName, Hosts.IPAddress FROM Hosts WHERE hostname = 'hub'\"}"

Table: Hosts

Hosts table contains basic information about hosts managed by CFEngine.

Columns:

HostKey (text) Unique host identifier. All tables can be joined by HostKey to connect data concerning same hosts.
HostName (text) Host name locally detected on the host, configurable as hostIdentifier option in Settings API and Mission Portal settings UI.
IPAddress (text) IP address of the host derived from the lastseen database (this is expected to be the IP address from which connections come from, beware NAT will cause multiple hosts to appear to have the same IP address).
LastReportTimeStamp (timestamp) Timestamp of the most recent successful report collection.
FirstReportTimeStamp (timestamp) Timestamp when the host reported to the hub for the first time, which indicate when the host was bootstrapped to the hub.

Example query:

SELECT hostkey,
       hostname,
       ipaddress,
       lastreporttimestamp,
       firstreporttimestamp
FROM   hosts;

Output:

Table: AgentStatus

Agent status contains information about last cf-agent execution.

Columns:

HostKey (text) Unique host identifier. All tables can be joined by HostKey to connect data concerning same hosts.
AgentExecutionInterval (integer) Estimated interval in which cf-agent is being executed, as cf-agent execution interval is expressed in cfengine context expressions (Min00_05 etc.) it can be not regular, this interval is discovered by analyzing last few cf-agent execution timestamps. Expressed in seconds.
LastAgentLocalExecutionTimeStamp (timestamp) Timestamp of last cf-agent execution on the host.
LastAgentExecutionStatus (OK/FAIL) cf-agent execution status. In case cf-agent will not execute within 3x AgentExecutionInterval from last execution, status will be set to FAIL. Failure may indicate cf-execd issues, or cf-agent crashes.

Table: SoftwareLog

Software packages installed / deleted over period of time. More information about CFEngine and package management can be found here.

Columns:

HostKey (text) Unique host identifier. All tables can be joined by HostKey to connect data concerning same hosts.
ChangeTimeStamp (timestamp) Timestamp when the package state was discovered on the host. Note: The statement if true till present time or newer entry claims otherwise.
ChangeOperation (ADD,REMOVE) CFEngine uses incremental diffs to report it's state. ChangeOperation is a diff state describing current entry.
- ADD - New package have been detected / installed. Package upgrate is considered as installing a new package with a different version.
- REMOVE - Package have been detected to be removed / uninstalled. During upgrate older version of the package is removed and reported as so.
SoftwareName (text) Name of installed software package.
SoftwareVersion (text) Software package version.
SoftwareArchitecture (text) Architecture.

Table: PromiseExecutionsLog

This table was deprecated in 3.7.0. It is no longer used.

Promise status / outcome changes over period of time.

Columns:

HostKey (text) Unique host identifier. All tables can be joined by HostKey to connect data concerning same hosts.
ChangeTimeStamp (timestamp) Timestamp when the promise state or outcome changed. Note: The statement if true till present time or newer entry claims otherwise.
ChangeOperation (ADD,CHANGE,REMOVE,UNTRACKED) CFEngine uses incremental diffs to report it's state. ChangeOperation is a diff state describing current entry.
- ADD - stands for introducing a new entry which did not exist at last execution. In this case, new promise executed, or the promise was not executed at previous cf-agent run.
- CHANGE - stands for changing value or attribute such as PromiseOutcome, LogMessages or ReleaseId in case of new policy rollout.
- REMOVE - Promise was not executed last time, but it was executed previously. This is a common report for promises that have been removed from policy at some point, or they are executed only periodically (like once a hour, day etc.).
- UNTRACKED - CFEngine provides a mechanism for filtering unwanted data from being reported. UNTRACKED marker states that information is being filtered and will not report any future information about it.
PolicyFile (text) Path to the file where the promise is located in.
ReleaseId (text) Unique identifier of masterfiles version that is executed in the host.
PromiseHash (text) Unique identifier of a promise. It is a hash of all promise attributes and their values.
NameSpace (text) Namespace within which the promise is executed. If no namespace is set then it is set as: default.
BundleName (text) Bundle name where the promise is executed.
PromiseType (text) Type of the promise.
Promiser (text) Object affected by a promise.
StackPath (text) Call stack of the promise.
PromiseHandle (text) A unique id-tag string for referring promise.
PromiseOutcome (KEPT/NOTKEPT/REPAIRED) Promise execution result.
- KEPT - System has been found in the state as desired by the promise. CFEngine did not have to do any action to correct the state.
- REPAIRED - State of the system differed from the desired state. CFEngine took successful action to correct it according to promise specification.
- NOTKEPT - CFEngine has failed to converge the system according to the promise specification.
LogMessages (text[]) List of 5 last messages generated during promise execution. If the promise is KEPT the messages are not reported. Log messages can be used for tracking specific changes made by CFEngine while repairing or failing promise execution.
Promisees (text[]) List of promisees defined for the promise.

Example query:

       changetimestamp,
       changeoperation,
