Packs

Packs, short for package, are organization units that bundle together the various extension points that StackStorm provides. In a pack you can distribute the following:

  • actions
  • workflows
  • rules
  • sensors
  • triggers
  • Python requirements.txt files
  • Additional content (think Jinja templates, Ansible playbooks, etc)

Packs are just git repos! You can either install them with the URL to the git repo or by name from the public StackStorm exchange

In this demo we're going to install the rabbitmq pack and configure it so we can post a message to a Queue from StackStorm.

Install RabbitMQ pack from exchange

First, install the rabbitmq pack from the public StackStorm exchange.

st2 pack install rabbitmq

Configure RabbitMQ queue

Create a queue in RabbitMQ where messages will be sent

rabbitmqadmin declare exchange name=demo type=topic durable=false
rabbitmqadmin declare queue name=demoqueue
rabbitmqadmin declare binding source=demo destination=demoqueue routing_key=demokey

Test out the RabbitMQ pack

st2 run rabbitmq.publish_message host=127.0.0.1 exchange=demo exchange_type=topic routing_key=demokey message="test"

Read from the queue to see if our message was delivered:

rabbitmqadmin get queue=demoqueue count=99
