# Cyclone Operator Runbook Procedures for running Cyclone in production. The end-user README covers dev setup; this doc is for an operator bringing up SFTP polling on a fresh host. ## SP25 — Enable SFTP Polling for Real Gainwell MFT The inbound MFT polling scheduler ships in SP16 and is wired to real paramiko SFTP in SP13. To turn it on for `mft.gainwelltechnologies.com`: ### Prerequisites - Python 3.11+ with the `cyclone` package installed (`pip install -e .[dev,sftp]`). - The macOS `keyring` library is optional. On a Linux server or Docker container, the MFT password is supplied via a plain env var (no Keychain dependency). - Outbound TCP/22 to `mft.gainwelltechnologies.com`. ### Env vars | Variable | Required | Default | Purpose | |---|---|---|---| | `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD` | Yes (real MFT only) | unset | The MFT password. Stripped of whitespace; empty values are treated as unset. | | `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_AUTOSTART` | No | unset (falsy) | When `1`/`true`/`yes`, the scheduler starts polling on API launch. | | `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_POLL_SECONDS` | No | `60` | Seconds between poll cycles. The Gainwell MFT server doesn't push — we pull. | ### First-time setup 1. **Set the password env var.** On the server that runs Cyclone: ```bash export CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD='the-actual-password' ``` For systemd / Docker, persist this in the service file or `docker-compose.yml` (use a `_FILE` companion or a `secrets:` block; see your platform's docs). 2. **Confirm the clearhouse SFTP block is configured.** `GET /api/clearhouse` should return a row. If not, run the lifespan once to seed it (any API launch will do). 3. **Flip stub → false and point at real MFT.** Authenticated as an admin: ```bash # GET the current row, modify the sftp_block, PATCH it back. # The endpoint requires a full Clearhouse body, so always # round-trip through GET to get the right updated_at + filename_block. curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/clearhouse -b cookies.txt > /tmp/ch.json # Edit /tmp/ch.json — set sftp_block.stub to false and adjust host/port/paths/auth. # The minimum change for real-MFT mode is: # jq '.sftp_block.stub = false # | .sftp_block.host = "mft.gainwelltechnologies.com" # | .sftp_block.auth = {"password_keychain_account": "sftp.gainwell.password"}' \ # /tmp/ch.json > /tmp/ch-patched.json curl -X PATCH http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/clearhouse \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -b cookies.txt \ --data @/tmp/ch-patched.json ``` The endpoint hot-reloads the scheduler. No API restart required. 4. **Start polling.** Either: - Set `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_AUTOSTART=true` and restart the API. - Or trigger manually: ```bash curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/start -b cookies.txt ``` ### Verification ```bash # Is the loop running? curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/status -b cookies.txt # Force one poll cycle right now: curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/tick -b cookies.txt # What files has the scheduler seen? curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/processed-files?limit=20' -b cookies.txt # Only the errors? curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/processed-files?status=error' -b cookies.txt ``` A successful first poll shows rows in `processed-files` with `status=ok` and a non-zero `claim_count` for 835/277CA files. ### Troubleshooting | Symptom | Likely cause | Fix | |---|---|---| | `status=error` rows with `AuthenticationException` | Wrong password in `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD` | Re-export with the correct value, then PATCH /api/clearhouse or restart. | | `status=error` rows with `IOError: [Errno 111] Connection refused` | Outbound TCP/22 blocked, or wrong host/port | Check the firewall; confirm `host` in `GET /api/clearhouse`. | | Zero rows in `processed-files` after a tick | Inbound MFT dir is empty (HPE hasn't pushed yet) — not an error | Wait. Trigger `tick` again later. | | `RuntimeError: SFTP: Keychain entry ... missing or stub` | `get_secret()` fell through to Keychain (Linux + missing env var) | Set `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD`. | | `RuntimeError: SftpBlock.auth must contain ...` | PATCH set `stub=false` without an `auth` block | PATCH again with a complete `auth` dict. | | Scheduler never starts (`running: false`) | `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_AUTOSTART` not set, no manual `start` call | Either set autostart or `POST /api/admin/scheduler/start`. | ### macOS dev box variant If you prefer the Keychain over env vars on macOS: ```bash security add-generic-password -s cyclone -a sftp.gainwell.password -w '' security find-generic-password -s cyclone -a sftp.gainwell.password -w # verify ``` The env var is the highest-priority lookup; the Keychain is the fallback. Setting both means the env var wins. To force the Keychain, unset the env var for that shell.
