A Configuration-Driven Test Automation Tool for Linux: PyMergen

Having dealt with system designs and issues throughout my career, I always felt the need to quickly create and perform benchmark tests on Linux systems. I have finally released a Python tool to accomplish that task.
PyMergen is a configuration-driven test automation tool for Linux. It is intended to be a local command executor to automate repetitive and iterative testing actions on a Linux host to perform benchmarking and metric collection. The default collection logic is built around Linux Control Groups (cgroups) and Perf tools, and the functionality is extensible through a plugin mechanism.
GitHub repository is here.

Securing Symfony2 REST services with FOSOAuthServerBundle

Overview In my previous article, I wrote about setting up a Symfony2 REST service using FOSRestBundle. However, this REST service was behind a firewall protected by a generic form_login provider. Not really ideal if you wish to open your REST API to other applications. So in this article, I will try to explain how to set up FOSOAuthServerBundle to protect your REST API methods using OAuth2. Before we start getting into the gritty details, it is a good idea to have a look at the official OAuth2 documentation . Let's begin... FOSOAuthServerBundle Installation You have to install v1.1.0 of FOSOAuthServerBundle if you are using Symfony 2.0.x. If not, see the docs . First, add the following entries to your deps file: [FOSOAuthServerBundle] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSOAuthServerBundle.git target=bundles/FOS/OAuthServerBundle version=origin/1.1.x [oauth2-php] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/oauth2-php.git Run the vendors script to install these...

Adding post-login logic to FOSUserBundle

Having finally figured out how to use FOSUserBundle in my project, I decided to keep track of all logins next. The implementation turned out to be a breeze thanks to Symfony2's security listener mechanism. As usual, the first step is to create a MongoDB document for this purpose. This is a very simple document that contains a user's id, session id, IP address, and login date. src/Acme/UserBundle/Document/LoginHistory.php namespace Acme\UserBundle\Document; class LoginHistory { protected $id; protected $userId; protected $sessionId; protected $ip; protected $createdAt; /** * Get id * * @return custom_id $id */ public function getId() { return $this->id; } /** * Set userId * * @param int $userId */ public function setUserId($userId) { $this->userId = $userId; } /** * Get userId * * @return int $userId */ public function getUserId...

Symfony 2 + DoctrineMongoDBBundle + FOSUserBundle Tutorial

It's been a while I have not added an entry to my blog. I have been busy playing with Symfony 2, MongoDB, and FOSUserBundle for a while now so here is a tutorial to integrate Symfony 2, MongoDB, and FOSUserBundle. Objectives * Install DoctrineMongoDBBundle * Install FOSUserBundle * Create user model ** Utilize groups ** Add additional properties to user model * Create customized registration form and handler At this point I am going to assume that you have a running Symfony 2 and MongoDB installation in place already and a basic understanding of how to configure Symfony 2 services. I will also exclude view related steps from this tutorial. Setting Up DoctrineMongoDBBundle Add the following to your deps file: [doctrine-mongodb] git=http://github.com/doctrine/mongodb.git [doctrine-mongodb-odm] git=http://github.com/doctrine/mongodb-odm.git [DoctrineMongoDBBundle] git=http://github.com/symfony/DoctrineMongoDBBundle.git target=/bundles/Symfony/Bundle/Doctrin...
