Currently, all parameters passed to a template are hardcoded (for instance, Windows Vm Version: 2012-Datacenter, 2016 Datacenter and so on). is their a way to dynamically update these values based on the type of subscription or the location?
As I known, there is no in-build feature for you to dynamically update parameter values based on the type of subscription or the location. You could add your feedback here. In order to achieve this purpose, I assume that you need to add your code logic to generate the TemplateParameterFile based on the type of subscription or the location of your resource group, then leverage New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment command to deploy your Azure resources. Moreover, here are some common ARM templates, you could refer to them.

For a client I am building a static website rendered with nextjs and deployed on vercel. Everything on this website is static, so I don't need any database. However, this client wants to use the instagram API to show a gallery of their photos on two of their pages. This is with a custom design, so I can't use any embed code, but to the best of my knowledge I have to use the Instagram basic display API
To the problem at hand: I was wondering if there is some way to store a single variable without creating a whole database for it in vercel. I know I can use Environment Variables, but the problem is that the instagram api needs to change the access token every 2 months. To renew the access token for instagram, I was planning to write a CRON job that runs about every month to update this value.
I was wondering if it is possible to somehow store this single value on the deployed site without creating a database just for this single value. For example, is it somehow possible to change an environment variable from within a serverless function?
Any help in the right direction is appreciated!
Thanks
You go to Vercel: settings-> environment variables -> add your variable. In this variable you can store your Instagram API variable and in the code you use process.env.{variable}
Example:
you defined name of variable as instagramAPI in your local files (next.config.js or .env.local)
module.exports = {
env:{
instagramAPI : 'https://instagramapiexample.com'
},
}
you define instagramAPI (exactly the same name of the variable as in the code) on your vercel settings
In your code (local files) you call process.env.instagramAPI variable to have the value of the string.
Your code works as expected.
!IMPORTANT! if you have some secrets or passwords in your process.env.variables you newer saves it in next.config.js. For this purpose you saves your instagramAPI to .env.local (described in point 1). More info here
How can I modify process variables in Alfresco's workflows? (embedded Activiti)
I know that they are created when the process is initiated but I'm unable to change them in the Java/JavaScript/process code. (unless I use REST API directly)
I can successfully change local and execution variables ( execution.setVariable("san_value", "1000"); ) but I am unable to change variables which are shown in the Workflow details page.
For the workflow details, data fetched from start-task . Please how you've added the process variables and how you're accessing it ?
Instead of using process variable, you can add new property(using aspect) in the workflow model and you should be able to access and fetch the variable across all the tasks in the workflow process.
In cloudera is there a way to update list of configurations at a time using CM-API or CURL?
Currently I am updating one by one one using below CM API.
services_api_instance.update_service_config()
How can we update all configurations stored in json/config file at a time.
The CM API endpoint you're looking for is PUT /cm/deployment. From the CM API documentation:
Apply the supplied deployment description to the system. This will create the clusters, services, hosts and other objects specified in the argument. This call does not allow for any merge conflicts. If an entity already exists in the system, this call will fail. You can request, however, that all entities in the system are deleted before instantiating the new ones.
This basically allows you to configure all your services with one call rather than doing them one at a time.
If you are using services that require a database (Hive, Hue, Oozie ...) then make sure you set them up before you call the API. It expects all the parameters you pass in to work so external dependencies must be resolved first.
How to get a list of active workflows/tasks of current user in Alfresco by JavaScript API ?
It is require to create a rule which will write active tasks to the some file and hang/attach this rule to/on a folder.
Yes it is possible to get the list of workflows.
You can do that with the following api.
GET /alfresco/service/api/task-instances?authority={authority?}&state={state?}&priority={priority?}&pooledTasks={pooledTasks?}&dueBefore={dueBefore?}&dueAfter={dueAfter?}&properties={properties?}&maxItems={maxItems?}&skipCount={skipCount?}&exclude={exclude?}
GET /alfresco/service/api/workflow-instances/{workflow_instance_id}/task-instances?authority={authority?}&state={state?}&priority={priority?}&dueBefore={isoDate?}&dueAfter={isoDate?}&properties={prop1, prop2, prop3...?}&maxItems={maxItems?}&skipCount={skipCount?}&exclude={exclude?}
Note: You can set your own parameters according to your requirements in the request
See the documentation.
I need an alerting system where I could have my own metric and threshold to report for anomalies (basically alerting on the basis of logs and data in DB). I explored Bosun but not sure how to make it work. I have following issues:-
There are pre-defined items which are all system level, but I couldn't find a way to add new items, i.e. custom items
How will bosun ingest data other than scollector. As I understand could I use logstash as data source and totally miss OpenTDSP( Really don't like HBase dependency)?
By Items I think you mean metrics. Bosun learns about metrics, and their tag relationships when you do one of the following:
Relay opentsdb data through Bosun (http://bosun.org/api#sending-data)
Get copies of metrics sent to the api/index route http://bosun.org/api#apiindex
There are also metadata routes, which tell bosun about the metric, such as counter/gauge, unit, and description.
The logstash datasource will be deprecated in favor of an elastic datasource in the coming 0.5.0 release. But it is replaced by an elastic one is better (but requires ES 2+). To use those expressions see the raw documentation (bosun.org docs will updated next release): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bosun-monitor/bosun/master/docs/expressions.md. To add it you would have something like the following in the config:
elasticHosts=http://ny-lselastic01.ds.stackexchange.com:9200,http://ny-lselastic02.ds.stackexchange.com:9200,http://ny-lselastic03.ds.stackexchange.com:9200
The functions to query various backends are only loaded into the expression library when the backend is configured.
