Extend existing Twisted Service with another Socket/TCP/RPC Service to get Service informations

I'm implementing a Twisted-based Heartbeat Client/Server combo, based on this example. It is my first Twisted project.

Basically it consists of a UDP Listener (Receiver), who calls a listener method (DetectorService.update) on receiving packages. The DetectorService always holds a list of currently active/inactive clients (I extended the example a lot, but the core is still the same), making it possible to react on clients which seem disconnected for a specified timeout.

This is the source taken from the site:

UDP_PORT = 43278; CHECK_PERIOD = 20; CHECK_TIMEOUT = 15

import time
from twisted.application import internet, service
from twisted.internet import protocol
from twisted.python import log

class Receiver(protocol.DatagramProtocol):
    """Receive UDP packets and log them in the clients dictionary"""

    def datagramReceived(self, data, (ip, port)):
        if data == 'PyHB':
            self.callback(ip)

class DetectorService(internet.TimerService):
    """Detect clients not sending heartbeats for too long"""

    def __init__(self):
        internet.TimerService.__init__(self, CHECK_PERIOD, self.detect)
        self.beats = {}

    def update(self, ip):
        self.beats[ip] = time.time()

开发者_如何学编程    def detect(self):
        """Log a list of clients with heartbeat older than CHECK_TIMEOUT"""
        limit = time.time() - CHECK_TIMEOUT
        silent = [ip for (ip, ipTime) in self.beats.items() if ipTime < limit]
        log.msg('Silent clients: %s' % silent)

application = service.Application('Heartbeat')
# define and link the silent clients' detector service
detectorSvc = DetectorService()
detectorSvc.setServiceParent(application)
# create an instance of the Receiver protocol, and give it the callback
receiver = Receiver()
receiver.callback = detectorSvc.update
# define and link the UDP server service, passing the receiver in
udpServer = internet.UDPServer(UDP_PORT, receiver)
udpServer.setServiceParent(application)
# each service is started automatically by Twisted at launch time
log.msg('Asynchronous heartbeat server listening on port %d\n'
    'press Ctrl-C to stop\n' % UDP_PORT)

This heartbeat server runs as a daemon in background.

Now my Problem:

I need to be able to run a script "externally" to print the number of offline/online clients on the console, which the Receiver gathers during his lifetime (self.beats). Like this:

$ pyhb showactiveclients
3 clients online 
$ pyhb showofflineclients
1 client offline 

So I need to add some kind of additional server (Socket, Tcp, RPC - it doesn't matter. the main point is that i'm able to build a client-script with the above behavior) to my DetectorService, which allows to connect to it from outside. It should just give a response to a request.

This server needs to have access to the internal variables of the running detectorservice instance, so my guess is that I have to extend the DetectorService with some kind of additionalservice.

After some hours of trying to combine the detectorservice with several other services, I still don't have an idea what's the best way to realize that behavior. So I hope that somebody can give me at least the essential hint how to start to solve this problem. Thanks in advance!!!


I think you already have the general idea of the solution here, since you already applied it to an interaction between Receiver and DetectorService. The idea is for your objects to have references to other objects which let them do what they need to do.

So, consider a web service that responds to requests with a result based on the beats data:

from twisted.web.resource import Resource

class BeatsResource(Resource):
    # It has no children, let it respond to the / URL for brevity.
    isLeaf = True

    def __init__(self, detector):
        Resource.__init__(self)
        # This is the idea - BeatsResource has a reference to the detector,
        # which has the data needed to compute responses.
        self._detector = detector

    def render_GET(self, request):
        limit = time.time() - CHECK_TIMEOUT
        # Here, use that data.
        beats = self._detector.beats
        silent = [ip for (ip, ipTime) in beats.items() if ipTime < limit]
        request.setHeader('content-type', 'text/plain')
        return "%d silent clients" % (len(silent),)

# Integrate this into the existing application
application = service.Application('Heartbeat')
detectorSvc = DetectorService()
detectorSvc.setServiceParent(application)
.
.
.
from twisted.web.server import Site
from twisted.application.internet import TCPServer

# The other half of the idea - make sure to give the resource that reference 
# it needs.
root = BeatsResource(detectorSvc)
TCPServer(8080, Site(root)).setServiceParent(application)
