Notification Agent

This service accepts arbitrary notification requests from other DE back-end services and provides endpoints for the Discovery Environment that are used to look up the notifications for the current user. It also triggers the emails that are sent when e-mail notifications are requested.

Service Details

All service URLs are listed as relative URLs. The welcome endpoint, which can be used to verify that the notification agent is running and responsive, accepts GET requests with no query-string parameters.

Verifying that the Notification Agent is Running

  • Endpoint: GET /

The root path in the notification agent can be used to verify that the notification agent is actually running. Sending a GET request to this service will result in a welcome message being returned to the caller. Here's an example:

$ curl http://by-tor:65533/
Welcome to the notification agent!

Requesting an Arbitrary Notification

  • Endpoint: POST /notification

The purpose of this endpoint is to allow other iPlant services to request notifications to be sent to the user. The request body for this endpoint is an abbreviated form of the notification format stored in the notification database.

{
    "type": "some_notification_type",
    "user": "some_user_name",
    "subject": "some subject description",
    "message": "some message text",
    "email": true,
    "email_template": "some_template_name",
    "payload": {
        "email_address": "[email protected]"
    }
}

Only the type, user and subject fields are required. The type field contains the notification type, which currently must be known to the UI. The UI currently knows of three notification types data, analysis and tool. The user field contains the user's unqualified username. (For example, if the full username is [email protected] then the short username is nobody.) The subject field contains a brief description of the event that prompted the notification. The message field contains an optional description of the event that prompted the notification. If this field is not provided then its value will default to that of the subject field. The email field contains a Boolean flag indicating whether or not an e-mail message should be sent. The value of this field defaults to false if not provided. The email_template field is required if an e-mail is requested, and it must contain the name of an e-mail template that is known to the iplant-email service. The payload is optional and may contain arbitrary information that may be of use to any recipient of the notification. If an e-mail is requested then this field must contain the user's e-mail address along with any information required by the selected e-mail template. Here's an example:

curl -sd '
{
    "type": "nada",
    "user": "nobody",
    "subject": "nothing happened",
    "message": "nada y pues nada y pues nada",
    "email": true,
    "email_template": "nothing_happened",
    "payload": {
        "email_address": "[email protected]"
    }
}
' http://by-tor:65533/notification | python -mjson.tool
{
    "success": true
}

Note that this example is fictional and will not actually send an e-mail message because the requested e-mail template doesn't exist. The notification type is also not known to the UI, which will cause errors in the UI.

If the service succeeds, a 200 status code is returned with a simple JSON response body indicating that the service call succeeded. Otherwise, either a 400 or a 500 status code is returned and a brief description of the problem is included in the response body.

Getting Notifications from the Notification Agent

  • Endpoint: GET /messages
  • Endpoint: GET /unseen-messages

These two endpoints can be used to retrieve notifications from the notification agent. The former can be used to get both notifications that have already been seen and notifications that haven't been seen yet. It is very likely that each user will have a lot of notifications that have already been seen, so the /messages endpoint provides a paginated view, with both the number of messages and the index of the starting message specified in the query string. The full list of query string parameters for this endpoint is:

NameDescriptionRequired/Optional
user The name of the user to retrieve notifications for. Required
limit The maximum number of notifications to return at a time or `0` if there is no limit. Optional (defaults to `0`)
offset The index of the starting message. Optional (defaults to `0`)
seen Indicates whether messages that the user has seen, messages that the user has not seen, or both should be returned. If the value of this parameter is set to `true` then only messages that the user has seen will be returned. If the value of this parameter is `false` then only messages that the user has not seen will be returned. If the this parameter is not specified at all then both messages that the user has seen and messages that the user has not seen will be returned. Optional
sortField The field to use when sorting messages. The values that are currently accepted for this field are: `date_created`, `timestamp` (which is, equivalent to `date_created`), `uuid` and `subject`. Optional (defaults to `timestamp`)
sortDir The sorting direction, which can be `asc` (ascending) or `desc` (descending). Optional (defaults to `desc`)
filter Specifies the type of notification messages to return, which can be `data`, `analysis`, `tool` or `new`. Other types of notifications may be added in the future. If this parameter it not specified then all types of notifications will be returned. The special filter type, `new`, is provided as a convenience for the UI. If this filter is specified then unseen notifications of any type will be returned. Optional

The /unseen-messages endpoint can only be used to obtain messages that haven't been marked as seen yet. This service does not provide a paginated view because it is likely that users will want to receive any notifications that they haven't seen already immediately. This endpoint accepts only the user query-string parameter.

Here are some examples:

$ curl -s 'http://by-tor:65533/messages?user=ipctest&limit=1&offset=0' | python -mjson.tool
{
    "messages": [
        {
            "deleted": false,
            "message": {
                "id": "6DF4475F-EE81-4063-B457-6EDFA4ED9C5F",
                "text": "cat_06221137 completed",
                "timestamp": 1340390304000
            },
            "outputDir": "/iplant/home/ipctest/analyses/cat_06221137-2012-06-22-11-37-58.636",
            "outputManifest": [],
            "payload": {
                "action": "job_status_change",
                "analysis_id": "a508674c3c9464ccbbbcf1600650db446",
                "analysis_name": "Concatenate Multiple Files",
                "description": "",
                "enddate": 1340390297000,
                "id": "jf408fc4d-628c-41bb-819c-4b5de9cb24e0",
                "name": "cat_06221137",
                "resultfolderid": "/iplant/home/ipctest/analyses/cat_06221137-2012-06-22-11-37-58.636",
                "startdate": "1340390278636",
                "status": "Completed",
                "user": "ipctest"
            },
            "seen": true,
            "type": "analysis",
            "user": "ipctest",
            "workspaceId": "39"
        }
    ],
    "total": "256"
}
$ curl -s 'http://by-tor:65533/unseen-messages?user=ipctest' | python -mjson.tool
{
    "messages": [],
    "total": "0"
}

Getting the Ten Most Recent Notifications

  • Endpoint: GET /last-ten-messages

This endpoint takes the username as its only query-string parameter and returns the ten most recent messages for that username in ascending order by message timestamp. Obtaining the ten most recent messages in ascending order is difficult using other endpoints.

this endpoint takes one query-string parameter:

NameDescriptionRequired/Optional
user The name of the user to retrieve notifications for. Required

Examples are omitted for this endpoint because the response body is identical to that of the /messages and /unseen-messages endpoints.

Counting Notifications

  • Endpoint: GET /count-messages

This end-point returns count statistics for the messages that are currently active. It counts for both system message counts and a user message count. For the system messages, it returns the total number of messages, the total number of unseen messages and the total number of new messages. The user messages may be filtered by a set of criteria. Optional parameters provide this filtering.

This endpoint takes three query-string parameters:

NameDescriptionRequired/Optional
user The name of the user to retrieve notifications for. Required
seen Indicates whether messages that the user has seen, messages that the user has not seen, or both should be returned. If the value of this parameter is set to `true` then only messages that the user has seen will be returned. If the value of this parameter is `false` then only messages that the user has not seen will be returned. If the this parameter is not specified at all then both messages that the user has seen and messages that the user has not seen will be returned. Optional
filter Specifies the type of notification messages to return, which can be `data`, `analysis` or `tool`. Other types of notifications may be added in the future. If this parameter it not specified then all types of notifications will be returned. Optional

The response body consists of a JSON object with a four fields:

{
    "user-total":          count,
    "system-total":        count,
    "system-total-new":    count,
    "system-total-unseen": count
}
  • user-total contains the number of user messages that match the criteria specified in the query string.
  • system-total contains the number of system messages that are active and have not been dismissed by the user.
  • system-total-new contains the number of system messages that have not been marked as received by the user.
  • system-total-unseen contains the number of system message that have not been marked as seen by the user.

Here are some examples:

$ curl -s "http://by-tor:65533/count-messages?user=ipctest" | python -mjson.tool
{
    "user-total":          409,
    "system-total":         10,
    "system-total-new":      0,
    "system-total-unseen":   1
}

In this example, all user messages for the user, ipctest, are counted.

$ curl -s "http://by-tor:65533/count-messages?user=ipctest&filter=data" | python -mjson.tool
{
    "user-total":          91,
    "system-total":        10,
    "system-total-new":     0,
    "system-total-unseen":  1
}

In this example, all data messages for the user, ipctest, are counted.

$ curl -s "http://by-tor:65533/count-messages?user=ipctest&filter=data&seen=false" | python -mjson.tool
{
    "user-total":           0,
    "system-total":        10,
    "system-total-new":     0,
    "system-total-unseen":  1
}

In this example, only unseen data messages for the uer, ipctest, are counted.

Marking Notifications as Seen

  • Endpoint: POST /seen

Marking a notification as seen prevents it from being returned by the /unseen-messages endpoint. The intent is for this endpoint to be called when the user has seen a notification for the first time. This services requires a user query parameter that provides the name of the user who is marking these messages as seen. This service accepts the following query parameters:

NameDescriptionRequired/Optional
user The name of the user to mark notifications as seen for. Required

This service accepts a request body in the following format.

{
    "uuids": [
        "some-uuid",
        "some-other-uuid",
        ...
    ]
}

If this service succeeds, it returns a 200 status code with a simple JSON response body indicating that the service call suceeded along with the number of messages that are still marked as unseen. Otherwise, it returns either a 400 or a 500 status code with a brief description of the error. An attempt to mark a non-existent message or a message that has already been marked as seen will be silently ignored.

Here's an example:

$ curl -sd '
{
    "uuids": [
        "6DF4475F-EE81-4063-B457-6EDFA4ED9C5F"
    ]
}
' http://by-tor:65533/seen?user=ipctest | python -mjson.tool
{
    "success": true,
    "count": 0
}

Note that the UUIDs provided in the request body must be obtained from the message -> id element of the notification the user wishes to mark as seen.

Marking All Notifications as Seen

  • Endpoint: POST /mark-all-seen

This endpoint allows the client to acknowlege all notifications as seen for a particular user. This service accepts a request body in a similar format as the /notification endpoint. The only required JSON field is the "user" field, and any additional fields will only mark notifications that match those fields as seen:

{
    "user": "some_user_name",
    ...
}

If this service succeeds, it returns a 200 status code with a simple JSON response body indicating that the service call suceeded along with the number of messages that are still marked as unseen. Otherwise, it returns either a 400 or a 500 status code with a brief description of the error. An attempt to mark all notifications seen for a non-existent user does not cause the service call to fail. Here's an example:

$ curl -sd '
{
    "user": "some_user_name"
}
' http://by-tor:65533/mark-all-seen | python -mjson.tool
{
    "success": true,
    "count": 0
}

Deleting Notifications

  • Endpoint: POST /delete

"Deleting" a notification entails marking the notification as deleted in the notification database so that it won't be returned by either the /messages service or the /unseen-messages service. This service accepts the following query parameters:

NameDescriptionRequired/Optional
user The name of the user to delete notifications for. Required

This service accepts a request body in the following format:

{
    "uuids": [
        "some-uuid",
        "some-other-uuid",
        ...
    ]
}

If this service succeeds it returns a 200 status code with a simple JSON response body indicating that the service call succeeded. Otherwise, it returns either a 400 status code or a 500 status code with a brief description of the error. An attempt to delete a message that has already been marked as deleted does not result in an error. Instead, the service just treats the request as a no-op. Similarly, an attempt to delete a non-existent message is not treated as an error. The service also treats this condition as a no-op. Here's an example:

$ curl -sd '
{
    "uuids": [
        "361C2A67-3942-4F7A-9734-E5B8B28FDC12"
    ]
}
' http://by-tor:65533/delete?user=ipctest | python -mjson.tool
{
    "success": true
}

Deleting All Notifications

  • Endpoint: DELETE /delete-all

This endpoint allows the client to delete all notifications for a particular user. This service accepts query parameters similar to the fields accepted by the /notification endpoint. The only required parameter is the "user" parameter, and any additional parameters will only delete notifications that match those parameters.

If this service succeeds it returns a 200 status code with a simple JSON response body indicating that the service call succeeded. Otherwise, it returns either a 400 status code or a 500 status code with a brief description of the error. Here's an example:

$ curl -X DELETE -s 'http://by-tor:65533/delete-all?user=ipctest' | python -mjson.tool
{
    "success": true,
    "count": "0"
}

Admin - Adding A System Notification

  • Endpoint PUT /admin/system

This endpoint allows a client to add a new system notification. There are no query parameters, only JSON contained in the request body.

This service returns a 200 status code with a JSON response body. Otherwise, it returns either a 400 or 500 status code with a description of the error.

The HTTP method used for the request should be a PUT. The request body should be JSON that looks something like the following:

{
  "type" : "warning",

  "deactivation_date" : 1340390297000,
  "activation_date" : 1340390297000,
  "dismissible" : false,
  "logins_disabled" : false
}

The 'type', 'message', and 'deactivation_date' keys are required. The rest are optional.

The response body for a successful addition will look something like the following:

{
  "action" : "add-system-notification",
  "success": true,
  "system-notification" : {
    "activation_date": 1340390297000,

curl -X PUT -d '<JSON from the above example>' http://127.0.0.1:31320/admin/system

Admin - Listing System Notifications

  • Endpoint GET /admin/system

This endpoint allows a client to list system notifications that match criteria specified in the query string. This endpoint currently accepts four query string parameters:

ParameterDescriptionRequired/Optional
active-only If this parameter is specified and set to `true` then only system messages that are currently active will be returned by the service. Otherwise, all system messages will be returned, active or not. Optional (defaults to `false`)
type If this parameter is specified then only system messages of the specified type will be returned by the service. The `/admin/system-types` endpoint can be used to obtain a list of valid system message types. Note that no validation is performed on this argument. If an invalid system message type is specified then the service will return an empty result set. Optional (all types of messages are returned by default)
limit The maximum number of results to return at a time or 0 if there is no limit. Optional (defaults to 0)
offset The index of the starting message. Optional (defaults to 0)

All query string arguments are optional.

Getting All Unseen System Notifications For A User

  • Endpoint: GET /system/unseen-messages

This endpoint allows a client to request a list of all system notifications that are currently unseen for a user. This endpoint will not list system notifications that have been "soft" deleted (also known as "dismissed") by the user. Nor will it list system notifications that have already been seen by the user, regardless of whether or not the message has been dismissed or is marked as dismissible.

This endpoint accepts a user query parameter that tells the service which user's system notifications to return.

The service returns a 200 status code with a JSON response body. Otherwise, it returns either a 400 or 500 status code with a description of the error.

The HTTP method used for the request is a GET.

The response body for a successful lookup with look like the following:

{
  "system-messages" : [
    {
      "deactivation_date" : 1340390297000,
      "dismissible" : true,
      "activation_date" : 1340390297000,
      "date_created" : 1340390297000,
      "uuid" : "933ab627-5d1e-4cd9-b6e8-ff5462243637",
      "type" : "warning",
      "message" : "I like cake",
      "acknowledged" : true,
      "logins_disabled" : false
    }
  ]
}

Sample curl:

curl http://127.0.0.1:31320/system/unseen-messages?user=wregglej

Marking System Notifications As Received By A User

  • Endpoint: POST /system/received

This endpoint allows a client to specify a list of system notifications that should be marked as received by the specified user.

This endpoint accepts a user query parameter that tells the service which user's system notifications to return.

The HTTP Method used for the request is a POST.

The body of the request should be JSON that looks like the following:

{
  "uuids" : [
    "23705cb9-2a46-4cc3-80de-989d86ecbd01",

Soft Deleting System Notifications For A User

  • Endpoint: POST /system/delete

This endpoint allows a client to soft delete a batch of system notifications for a user. This does not remove them from the database, but will prevent the system notification from showing up in any of the non-admin endpoints that return system notifications for a user. This does not apply to system notifications that have "dismissible" set to false, which is the default. Also, any notifications that are marked as deleted by a user are also marked as seen by the user.
