Unified Assurance Topology Cache Warmup Microservice
Overview
The Unified Assurance Topology Cache Warmup microservice is part of the microservice event pipeline. It preloads the topology for a certain set of zones into redis. It runs once as a sidecar when first installing redis, and subsequent runs are not required.
Prerequisites
- 
A microservices cluster must be setup. Refer to Microservice Cluster Setup. 
- 
Redis must be installed. Refer to Redis microservice. 
Setup
su - assure1
export NAMESPACE=a1-zone1-pri
export WEBFQDN=<Primary Presentation Web FQDN> 
a1helm install topology-cache-warmup assure1/topology-cache-warmup -n $NAMESPACE --set global.imageRegistry=$WEBFQDN

Example of setting the log level to DEBUG
a1helm install ... --set configData.LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
Example of loading all zones
a1helm install topology-cache-warmup assure1/topology-cache-warmup -n $NAMESPACE --set global.imageRegistry=$WEBFQDN --set-string configData.ZONES=""
Example of loading zone id 2
a1helm install topology-cache-warmup assure1/topology-cache-warmup -n $NAMESPACE --set global.imageRegistry=$WEBFQDN --set-string configData.ZONES="2"
Example of loading zone ids 1, 2, 3, 4
a1helm install topology-cache-warmup assure1/topology-cache-warmup -n $NAMESPACE --set global.imageRegistry=$WEBFQDN --set-string configData.ZONES="1\,2\,3\,4"
