launcher

This command allows plugin developers to interact with a plugin directly. The command has subcommands for each plugin type. See the subcommand help text for detailed usage information.

Device Example

The device subcommand provides a way to interact and visualize the data being returned by a device plugin. As an example we will run the example device plugin. To use this command with your own device plugin substitute the example plugin with your own.

# Current working directory should be the root folder: github.com/hashicorp/nomad

# Build the plugin launcher
$ go build github.com/hashicorp/nomad/plugins/shared/cmd/launcher/

# Build the example fs-device plugin
$ go build -o fs-device github.com/hashicorp/nomad/plugins/device/cmd/example/cmd

# Launch the plugin
$ ./launcher device ./fs-device
> Availabile commands are: exit(), fingerprint(), stop_fingerprint(), stats(), stop_stats(), reserve(id1, id2, ...)
