Monitoring Tool's Dashboard With Tessera

Gunicorn is a Python HTTP Server ported from Ruby’s Unicorn project. Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with various web frameworks, including Tessera. So, practically reading the readme.md file of Tessera will be enough to run Tessera. They have given the example without Gunicorn HTTP Server.

Installing Monitoring Tool’s Dashboard With Tessera

 

One will need to have Python 2.7, node.js, a C compiler installed and node.js is used for building the web assets, node.js is not used for running the server. As we are running on Linux server (it is by default for OS X), we need to perform few extra steps :

Vim
1

git clone git@github.com:urbanairship/tessera.git
cd tessera
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
virtualenv .
. bin/activate
# install nom beforehand and then grunt-cli
npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install
# activate grunt's interactive mode
grunt
# example command
# grunt watch &

We will need SQLite database for backing store :

Vim
1
http://www.sqlite.org/download.html

Gunicorn is easy to install :

Vim
1
pip install -U gunicorn

Please read the rest from Gunicorn’s repo to understand the way of usage. Application default settings are stored in tessera/config.py , etc/config.py can exist, which is relative to the app process’ working directory and will override the settings from the defaults file.
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI is a database URI string pointing SQLAlchemy where is your database, e.g. sqlite:///tessera.db or with PostgreSQL database postgresql://localhost/tessera ; GRAPHITE_URL is the URL to Graphite web app, SECRET_KEY is for secure sessions. If you want to use the demo database run :

Vim
1
2
inv initdb
inv json.import 'demo/*'

We can run with Gunicorn in this way :

Vim
1
unicorn <args> tessera:app
