Comcast Data Cap Usage Collector For InfluxDB and Grafana

This tool allows you to run periodic comcast data usage checks and save the results to Influxdb

TL;DR;

$ helm repo add k8s-at-home https://k8s-at-home.com/charts/
$ helm install k8s-at-home/comcast

Introduction

This code is adopted from the work done by barrycarey in the similar thing for capturing speedtest data as well as jantman's xfinity-usage python example

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install --name my-release k8s-at-home/comcast

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release --purge

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The configuration is set as a block of text through a configmap and mounted as a file in /src/config.ini Any value in this text block should match the defined Comcast configuration. There are several values here that will have to match our kubernetes configuration.

Configuration

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the Sentry chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
image.repository	Comcast image	billimek/comcastusage-for-influxdb
image.tag	Comcast image tag	latest
image.pullPolicy	Comcast image pull policy	IfNotPresent
debug	Display debugging output	false
config.delay	how many seconds to wait between checks	3600
config.influxdb.host	InfluxDB hostname	influxdb-influxdb
config.influxdb.port	InfluxDB port	8086
config.influxdb.database	InfluxDB database	comcast
config.influxdb.username	InfluxDB username	``
config.influxdb.password	InfluxDB password	``
config.influxdb.ssl	InfluxDB connection using SSL	false
config.comcast.username	Comcast website login usernma	someuser
config.comcast.password	Comcast website login password	somepassword
podAnnotations	Key-value pairs to add as pod annotations	{}

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

helm install --name my-release \
  --set config.comcast.username=tonystark,config.comcast.password=mypassword \
    k8s-at-home/comcast

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml k8s-at-home/comcast

Read through the values.yaml file. It has several commented out suggested values.
