mikkoo 2.2.2
A PgQ to
RabbitMQ relay. Mikkoo is a PgQ consumer that
that publishes to RabbitMQ. In addition, it includes a built in auditing
system that can be used to confirm that all PgQ events are received by
RabbitMQ.
Mikkoo is named for the rabbit in the “Clever Rabbit and the Elephant” fable.
Installation
Mikkoo is available on the Python Package Index
and can be installed via pip:
pip install mikkoo
Once you’ve setup Skytools you may want to
install the optional included utility functions in mikkoo.sql to make usage
easier.
You can do this with a combination of curl and psql:
curl -L https://github.com/gmr/mikkoo/blob/main/mikkoo.sql | psql
This will install multiple stored procedures and an audit table in a mikkoo schema.
Take a look at the DDL to get a good idea of what each funciton is and how it can
be used.
PgQ Setup
Install pgq into your database and create the queue:
# CREATE EXTENSION pgq;
CREATE EXTENSION
# SELECT pgq.create_queue('test');
create_queue
--------------
1
(1 row)
Ensure that pgqd
is running.
PgQ Event to AMQP Mapping
When inserting events into a PgQ queue, the pgq.insert_event/7 function
should be used with the following field mappings:
PgQ Event
AMQP
ev_type
Routing Key
ev_data
Message body
ev_extra1
Exchange
ev_extra2
Content-Type Property
ev_extra3
AMQP Properties [1]
ev_extra4
Headers [2]
ev_time
Headers.timetamp
ev_txid
Headers.txid
[1]
AMQP properties should be set as a JSON blob. Values set in the ev_extra3
field will overwrite the automatically created properties app_id,
content_type, correlation_id, headers, and timestamp.
[2]
If ev_extra4 is specified and is a JSON key/value dictionary, it will
be assigned to the headers AMQP property.
There is a convenience schema in the mikkoo.sql file that adds
stored procedures for creating properly formatted mikkoo events in PgQ. In
addition, there is are auditing functions that allow for the creation of an
audit-log of events that were sent to PgQ.
AMQP Message Properties
The following table defines the available fields that can be set in a JSON blob
in the ev_extra3 field when inserting an event.
Property
PgSQL Type
app_id

content_encoding

correlation_id

[3]
headers should be sent to a key/value JSON blob if specified
Values assigned in the JSON blob provided to ev_extra3 take precedence over
the automatically assigned app_id, content_type, correlation_id,
headers, and timestamp values created by Mikkoo at processing time.
As of 1.0, Mikkoo will automatically add four AMQP headers property values. These
values will not overwrite any values with the same name specified in ev_extra4.
overwriting values with the same name, even if they are specified in the
The sequence value is a dynamically generated ID that attempts to provide
fuzzy distributed ordering information. The timestamp value is the ISO-8601
representation of the ev_time field, which is created when an event is added
to PgQ. The txid value is the ev_txid value, the PgQ transaction ID for
the event. These values are added to help provide some level of deterministic
ordering. The origin value is the hostname of the server that Mikkoo is running
on.
Event Insertion Example
The following example inserts a JSON blob message body of {"foo": "bar"} that
will be published to the postgres exchange in RabbitMQ using the test.routing-key
routing key. The content type is specified in ev_extra2 and the AMQP type
message property is specified in ev_extra3.
# SELECT pgq.insert_event('test', 'test.routing-key', '{"foo": "bar"}', 'postgres', 'application/json', '{"type": "example"}', '');
insert_event

(1 row)
When this message is received by RabbitMQ it will have a message body of:
{"foo": "bar"}
And it will have message properties similar to the following:

Configuration
The Mikkoo configuration file uses YAML for markup and allows
for one or more PgQ queue to be processed.
If you have a Sentry or a Sentry account, the Application/sentry_dsn setting
will turn on sentry exception logging, if the
raven client library is installed.
Queues are configured by name under the Application/workers stanza. The
following example configures two workers for the processing of a queue named
invoices. Each worker process connects to a local PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ
instance using default credentials.
Application:
workers:
invoices:
postgres_url: postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
rabbitmq:
host: localhost
port: 5671
vhost: /
ssl_options:
protocol: 2

rabbitmq

retry_delay

Running Mikkoo
After creating a configuration file for Mikkoo like the one above, simply run the mikkoo application providing the path to the configuration file:
mikkoo -c mikkoo.yml
The application will attempt to daemonize unless you use the -f foreground CLI switch.
Mikkoo’s CLI help can be invoked with --help and yields the following output:
$ mikkoo -h
usage: mikkoo [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-f]
Mikkoo is a PgQ to RabbitMQ Relay
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
Path to the configuration file
-f, --foreground Run the application interactively
