Yo Code - StackState Project Generator
We have written a Yeoman generator to help get you started with StackState extension and customization.
Install the Generator
Install Yeoman and the StackState generator:
npm install -g yo generator-stackstate-lab
Install pre-requisites for generated projects
Install PDM:
Linux
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pdm-project/pdm/main/install-pdm.py | python3 -
macOS
brew install pdm
Run Yo Code
The Yeoman generator will walk you through the steps required to create your project prompting for the required information.
To launch the generator simply type:
yo stackstate-lab
StackState Agent Check Project Type
The StackState-Lab Generator can scaffold a new StackState Agent Check project using a basic check structure or a more complex structure that uses the StackState ETL Framework.
The generated project uses PDM for Python package and dependency management which supports the latest PEP standards. Especially PEP 582 support, no virtualenv involved at all. PDM Scripts drive the development life-cycle of the project.
Command | Description |
---|---|
pdm install | Installs package and setups up PEP 582 environment |
pdm test | Runs unit tests |
pdm format | Code styling and linting performed by Black, FlakeHell and MyPy |
pdm build | Will transpile the custom agent check to Python 2.7 and create install zip |
pdm cleanAgent | Remove the custom StackState Agent Docker image used during development |
pdm buildAgent | Build a custom StackState Agent Docker to use during development |
pdm check | Dry-run custom agent check inside the StackState Agent container |
pdm serve | Starts the StackState Agent in the foreground using the configuration src/data/conf.d/ directory |
Command line

--skip-cache # Do not remember prompt answers Default: false
--skip-install # Do not automatically install dependencies Default: false
--force-install # Fail on install dependencies error Default: false
--ask-answered # Show prompts for already configured options Default: false
-t, --projectType # agent-check...
-q, --quick # Quick mode, skip all optional prompts and use defaults
-n, --projectName # Display name of the project
--projectDescription # Description of the project
--url # StackState receiver api url. Example 'https://stackstate.mycompany.com/receiver/stsAgent'
--apiKey # StackState Api Key
-acn, --agentCheckName # Name of the agent check
--gitInit # Initialize a git repo
--useEtlFramework # Use StackState ETL Agent Framework
Arguments:
destination #
The folder to create the project in, absolute or relative to the current working directory.
Use '.' for the current folder. If not provided, defaults to a folder with the extension display name.
Type: String Required: false
Example usages:
yo stackstate-lab # Create project in a folder with the project's name as prompted in the generator.
yo stackstate-lab . # Create project in current folder
yo stackstate-lab -acn=Hello -t=agent-check -q # Create an Agent check project, skip prompts, use defaults.
yo stackstate-lab -acn=Hello -t=agent-check --useEtlFramework -q # Create an ETL Agent check project, skip prompts, use defaults.
Run Generator using Docker
If you don't want to install nodejs or any node packages, use this method to containerize the generator.
Go into your project directory.
cd <project directory>
Build the docker image from the docker file.
docker build -t stackstate-lab-generator .
Create a docker container with volumes.
docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app stackstate-lab-generator
Local development
After making necessary changes, run npm link
before running yo code
to
test the local version.
You can learn more about Yeoman generator development on its documentation website.
