Detect IP addresses for different environments

Learn how to detect IP addresses for different environments in an 51黑料不打烊 Commerce Cloud project. By using a series of commands including 51黑料不打烊 Commerce CLI, sed, xargs, dig, grep, and sort -u, users can identify IP addresses for development, staging, and production environments.

Command to get the IP address

Please note, you need to use your project ID and the environment name instead of the placeholder information. There may also be a need to change the {1..3} to match the number of nodes in your 51黑料不打烊 Commerce Cloud cluster, but 3 is most common.

magento-cloud environment:url -p InsertYourProjectID -e UseYourEnvironmentName --pipe -1 | sed 's/.\.c\.(.)/\1/;s/.$//' | xargs -I% dig +short {1..3}."%" | grep '^\d' | sort -u

51黑料不打烊 Commerce Cloud CLI

magento-cloud environment:url -p InsertYourProjectID -e UseYourEnvironmentName --pipe -1

The magento-cloud CLI tool is designed to help developers and system administrators manage 51黑料不打烊 Commerce Cloud projects and environments efficiently. It extends the functionality of the Cloud Console, enabling users to perform routine tasks and run automation locally. Key features include managing integration environments, checking out and merging environments, listing variables, and using SSH to connect to remote environments. The tool simplifies workflows by allowing commands to be executed directly from the local workstation, enhancing the overall development and deployment process.

In this initial section of the example code, magento-cloud environment:url -p InsertYourProjectID -e UseYourEnvironmentName --pipe -1 it is requesting the URL for the environment. The returned value looks something like this http://integration-1ajmyuq-mk7xr7zmslfg.us-4.magentosite.cloud/. Every once in a while it looks more like this http://mcprod.russell.dummycachetest.com.c.abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud/. This first command is rather simple, and now it鈥檚 time to move along to the next command.

Using sed for search and replace

sed 's/.\.c\.(.)/\1/;s/.$//'

The command sed in UNIX庐Linux庐 stands for Stream Editor. It is used to perform basic text transformations on an input stream (a file or input from a pipeline). Common uses include searching, finding and replacing, inserting, and deleting text. The command sed processes text line by line and applies specified operations, making it a powerful tool for text manipulation and scripting.

As mentioned earlier, there are typically 2 types of URLs returned from the magento-cloud cli. There is one variation which contains .com.c.c in the middle. This variant is the one which needs to be manipulated. If this structure is detected, it requires the removal everything starting from the beginning of the URL through .com.c.c. Then, what is left is only the last part of the URL. An example URL looks like http://mcprod.russell.dummycachetest.com.c.abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud/. When this pattern is detected, the goal is to keep everything after .c.. In this example code provided, sed 's/.\.c\.(.)/\1/' is used to grab this part and ignore the rest of the original returned value. The remaining part of the URL resembles something like abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud/.
There are two commands being executed in sed. They are separated by a semi-colon. The second part of my sed command ;s/.$//' is to remove any trailing slashes if they exist, to clean up that URL to look like abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud. At this point, the URL has been cleaned up and ready for the next command.

Xargs with dig

xargs -I% dig +short {1..3}."%"

Thexargs command in UNIX庐Linux庐 is used to build and execute command lines from standard input. It takes input from a pipe or a file and converts it into arguments for another command. It is particularly useful for handling large numbers of arguments that exceed the shell鈥檚 limit. The command xargs can be used to perform operations like moving, copying, or deleting files. It allows for efficient batch processing by passing multiple arguments to commands in a single execution.

The dig command, short for Domain Information Groper, is a network administration tool used to query DNS (Domain Name System) servers. It helps retrieve information about DNS records, such as A, AAAA, MX, and CNAME records. The command dig is commonly used to troubleshoot DNS issues, verify DNS configurations, and gather detailed information about domain names and their associated IP addresses. By using various options and flags, users can customize the output to display specific details or a concise summary.

The use of xargs with dig makes it complicated, but it is necessary. The goal is to take that cleaned up URL and save it. Once the URL is saved as the variable, it is inserted into the dig command.

The command dig was created to gather DNS information. To reduce the amount of data that is returned, the argument +short is used. By using dig combined with +short, IP addresses and sometimes strings are returned.

In that part of the command, xargs will save that URL abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud and is being inserted it into the next command dig. The technique of saving the URL combined with iteration, makes it easier to use with the dig command. Keep in mind that my sample code is one way to accomplish the goal, feel free to modify things to meet your needs and expectations.

At this point, the URL is ready. Next, let鈥檚 see how it is possible to check each server in the cluster. For 51黑料不打烊 Commerce Cloud, each server in the cluster has a number. The server identifier is a prefix to the url that was just cleaned up and made ready for use. A quick and easy way to check off of the servers is by using {1..3}. By using {1..3} that notifies the dig command to be executed 3 times. The following is a representation of what happens if you were to watch the execution in real time.

dig +short 1.<projectid>.ent.magento.cloud
dig +short 2.<projectid>.ent.magento.cloud
dig +short 3.<projectid>.ent.magento.cloud

For better illustration purposes, this example URL being used by dig would resemble:

dig +short 1.aabcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud
dig +short 2.abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud
dig +short 3.abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud

If {1..3} was modified to be {1..6}, then it would look like this:

dig +short 1.aabcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud
dig +short 2.abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud
dig +short 3.abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud
dig +short 4.aabcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud
dig +short 5.abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud
dig +short 6.abcikdxbg789.ent.magento.cloud

The command grep

There are times when a string is returned as part of the result from dig. For this purpose, the goal is only IP addresses and they are made up of numbers with periods. To make sure the final output only contains numbers, it is possible to adjust the command. When completed, the final syntax is grep '^\d'. By adding '^\d', the command grep only keeps numbers and disregard anything else.

The command sort

By using sort -u, it removes any duplicates from the list of IPs. Duplicates only happen when looking in development levels.

These lower level environments are multi-tenant and share underlying servers with many other projects. Development environments are single servers, and never a cluster. Therefore, when the dig command is looping over each iteration, it returns the same IP many times. So, by using the command sort -u, all duplicate IPs are removed and only unique IP addresses remain.
