Super basic script to check connection to 3 CP update servers

[the_rock]

Hey guys,

Below is super basic script to verify connection to below servers:

Lab:

[Expert@CP-GW:0]# ./check_cp_updates.sh
ERROR: Provide a valid server file via -f servers.txt
Usage:
./check_cp_updates.sh -f servers.txt [--path /some/path] [--connect-timeout 5] [--max-time 20] [--retries 1] [--parallel 1] [--out results.csv]

Examples:
./check_cp_updates.sh -f cp_update_servers.txt
./check_cp_updates.sh -f cp_update_servers.txt --path / --parallel 5
[Expert@CP-GW:0]# touch cp_update_servers.txt
[Expert@CP-GW:0]# vi cp_update_servers.txt
[Expert@CP-GW:0]# ./check_cp_updates.sh -f cp_update_servers.txt
Done. Results written to: results_cp_update_servers.csv

Thank you for sharing this useful script! I'd like to propose an enhancement to support gateways that don't have direct internet connectivity but are configured with a proxy using something like this:

get_proxy_config() {
  local proxy_line
  proxy_line="$(clish -c "show configuration proxy" 2>/dev/null | grep "^set proxy address" || true)"
  
  if [[ -n "$proxy_line" ]]; then
    local proxy_ip proxy_port
    proxy_ip="$(echo "$proxy_line" | awk '{print $4}')"
    proxy_port="$(echo "$proxy_line" | awk '{print $6}')"
    
    if [[ -n "$proxy_ip" && -n "$proxy_port" ]]; then
      echo "${proxy_ip}:${proxy_port}"
      return 0
    fi
  fi
  return 1
}

PROXY_CONFIG="$(get_proxy_config || true)"
export PROXY_CONFIG

And then something like this

if [[ -n "${PROXY_CONFIG}" ]]; then
  curl_opts+=(--proxy "${PROXY_CONFIG}")
fi
