Import and synchronize your Consul KV data from JSON and YAML

consulator's Issues

Move to subcommand-driven cli

Is this project still updated?

Explain `[ path ...]`

I'm a little confused of the option path that can be supplied to consulator import ... as well as (by the looks) just consulator too (_judging from the --help).

Can you explain how path is used when many of the -yaml, -json, etc options of consulator import clearly state they read the data from STDIN.

I look at the code a bit but didn't understand what was happening with c.flags.Args().

Transactions endpoint for populating KV store

Hi, we're using consulator to populate KV store via YAML files and it works perfectly.

The other part of our deployment tooling is consul-template
We're listening for KV updates and doing some actions on update event.

What is happening is that if we want to change multiple values in KV using consulator we are noticing "double" actions by consul-template since the values and keys are updated one at a time multiple events are received.

Luckily Consul supports transactions which I beleive should address our "issue".

Unfortunately I do not have Golang experience at all so I cannot try to write and extend consulator features.

Do you think this would be interesting for you to think about adding as another cli flag maybe?

Best,
Marko

Performance: don't walk the destination kv tree for `import`

Walking the tree is only required for sync.

Handle tar archives directly

That would allow us to pipe directly from a git archive, and other fun things.

Add examples for consulator dump

Add examples for consulator dump please

format error

my yaml file:

docker:
    - image: ubuntu:14.04
    - image: mongo:2.6.8
      command: [mongod, --smallfiles]
    - image: postgres:9.4.1

i run this command:

consulator import -glue=, /usr/local/ns-configs/dev/

but the result is Error: Invalid type map[string]interface {} in array. Only strings, numbers and boolean values are supported. did it support this format?

Support for array of objects

It looks like consulator doesn't understand hot to import the following:

config:
  foo:
    rules:
      - foo: bar
        exp:
          type: A

You end up with an err rlike:

Error: Invalid type map[string]interface {} in array. Only strings, numbers and boolean values are supported.

Is this a KP or intentional?

Export support?

Would you consider the addition of an "export" feature and associated command? The idea basically to mirror the import facility. Take the contents of Consul and export it as either JSON or YAML.

I'm hesitant to make sync a 3-way sync; but if you are open to the above we can explore that layer or just make this a "user problem" to deal with.

Optional purge / delete

I've just started playing with the tool and noticed that all the previously existing keys got purged from Consul prior to importing. I found out that if I specify -prefix then it will delete only inside that path which helps, but I can still imagine scenario when I have >1 source of data writing to the same path and I would prefer the keys to not to be purged.
Would you consider making delete (purge) optional, so that one would have to add, say -delete option?
