Version Updater
python,script,automate,version,update
  • Goal: Keep your logstash.jar up to date with the latest monolithic jar!
  • Audience: Those of us who want to keep it fresh.

Requirements

  • Python 2.7+
  • sh module
  • lxml module

Quick guide

If you don't have the required modules install them with pip:

pip install sh lxml

If that complains about missing dependencies and you are running Ubuntu try installing these:

apt-get -y install python-dev python-pip libxml2-dev libxslt-dev

Using the updater

Below is the usage as printed by help.

usage: version-updater.py [-h] [-d DIR] [-v VERSION]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DIR, --dir DIR     Give the location of your logstash directory, ex:
                        /opt/logstash
  -v VERSION, --version VERSION
                        Which version do you want to install, ex: 1.

As an example here is how to get version 1.1.8 downloaded to /opt/logstash:

python version-updater.py -d /opt/logstash -v 1.1.8

You can set the defaults inside of the script if you want to run it without passing any arguments.

Code

{% include_code version-updater.py %}
