Plugins

Introduction

This document provides the information necessary to configure a COSMOS plugin. Plugins are how you configure and extend COSMOS.

Plugins are where you define targets (and their corresponding command and telemetry packet definitions), where you configure the interfaces needed to talk to targets, where you can define routers to stream raw data out of COSMOS, how you can add new tools to the COSMOS user interface, and how you can run additional microservices to provide new functionality.

Each plugin is built as a Ruby gem and thus has a plugin.gemspec file which builds it. Plugins have a plugin.txt file which declares all the variables used by the plugin and how to interface to the target(s) it contains.

Concepts

Target

Targets are the external pieces of hardware and/or software that COSMOS communicates with. These are things like Front End Processors (FEPs), ground support equipment (GSE), custom software tools, and pieces of hardware like satellites themselves. A target is anything that COSMOS can send commands to and receive telemetry from.

Interface

Interfaces implement the physical connection to one or more targets. They are typically ethernet connections implemented using TCP or UDP but can be other connections like serial ports. Interfaces send commands to targets and receive telemetry from targets.

Router

Routers flow streams of telemetry packets out of COSMOS and receive streams of commands into COSMOS. The commands are forwarded by COSMOS to associated interfaces. Telemetry comes from associated interfaces.

Tool

COSMOS Tools are web-based applications the communicate with the COSMOS APIs to perform takes like displaying telemetry, sending commands, and running scripts.

Microservice

Microservices are persistent running backend code that runs within the COSMOS environment. They can process data and perform other useful tasks.

Plugin Directory Structure

COSMOS plugins have a well-defined directory structure described in detail in the Code Generator documentation.

plugin.txt Configuration File

A plugin.txt configuration file is required for any COSMOS plugin. It declares the contents of the plugin and provides variables that allow the plugin to be configured at the time it is initially installed or upgraded. This file follows the standard COSMOS configuration file format of keywords followed by zero or more space separated parameters. The following keywords are supported by the plugin.txt config file:

VARIABLE

Define a configurable variable for the plugin

The VARIABLE keyword defines a variable that will be requested for the user to enter during plugin installation. Variables can be used to handle details of targets that are user defined such as specific IP addresses and ports. Variables should also be used to allow users to rename targets to whatever name they want and support multiple installations of the same target with different names. Variables can be used later in plugin.txt or in any other configuration file included in a plugin using Ruby ERB syntax. The variables are assigned to accessible local variables in the file. At a high level, ERB allows you to run Ruby code in configuration files.

Parameter	Description	Required
Variable Name	The name of the variable	True
Default Value	Default value of the variable	True

NEEDS_DEPENDENCIES

(Since 5.5.0)

Indicates the plugin needs dependencies and sets the GEM_HOME environment variable

If the plugin has a top level lib folder or lists runtime dependencies in the gemspec, NEEDS_DEPENDENCIES is effectively already set. Note that in Enterprise Edition, having NEEDS_DEPENDENCIES adds the NFS volume mount to the Kubernetes pod.

INTERFACE

Defines a connection to a physical target

Interfaces are what OpenC3 uses to talk to a particular piece of hardware. Interfaces require a Ruby or Python file which implements all the interface methods necessary to talk to the hardware. OpenC3 defines many built in interfaces or you can define your own as long as it implements the interface protocol.

Parameter	Description	Required
Interface Name	Name of the interface. This name will appear in the Interfaces tab of the Server and is also referenced by other keywords. The OpenC3 convention is to name interfaces after their targets with '_INT' appended to the name, e.g. INST_INT for the INST target.	True
Filename	Ruby or Python file to use when instantiating the interface. Valid Values: tcpip_client_interface, tcpip_server_interface, udp_interface, serial_interface	True

Additional parameters are required. Please see the Interfaces documentation for more details.

INTERFACE Modifiers

The following keywords must follow a INTERFACE keyword.

MAP_TARGET

Maps a target name to an interface

Parameter	Description	Required
Target Name	Target name to map to this interface	True

Ruby Example:

INTERFACE DATA_INT tcpip_client_interface.rb host.docker.internal 8080 8081 10.0 nil BURST
  MAP_TARGET DATA

Python Example:

INTERFACE DATA_INT openc3/interfaces/tcpip_client_interface.py host.docker.internal 8080 8081 10.0 nil BURST
  MAP_TARGET DATA

MAP_CMD_TARGET

(Since 5.2.0)

Maps a target name to an interface for commands only

Parameter	Description	Required
Target Name	Command target name to map to this interface	True

Ruby Example:

INTERFACE CMD_INT tcpip_client_interface.rb host.docker.internal 8080 8081 10.0 nil BURST
  MAP_CMD_TARGET DATA # Only DATA commands go on the CMD_INT interface

Python Example:

INTERFACE CMD_INT openc3/interfaces/tcpip_client_interface.py host.docker.internal 8080 8081 10.0 nil BURST
  MAP_CMD_TARGET DATA # Only DATA commands go on the CMD_INT interface

MAP_TLM_TARGET

(Since 5.2.0)

Maps a target name to an interface for telemetry only

Parameter	Description	Required
Target Name	Telemetry target name to map to this interface	True

Ruby Example:

INTERFACE TLM_INT tcpip_client_interface.rb host.docker.internal 8080 8081 10.0 nil BURST
  MAP_TLM_TARGET DATA # Only DATA telemetry received on TLM_INT interface

Python Example:

INTERFACE TLM_INT openc3/interfaces/tcpip_client_interface.py host.docker.internal 8080 8081 10.0 nil BURST
  MAP_TLM_TARGET DATA # Only DATA telemetry received on TLM_INT interface

DONT_CONNECT

Server will not automatically try to connect to the interface at startup

DONT_RECONNECT

Server will not try to reconnect to the interface if the connection is lost

RECONNECT_DELAY

Reconnect delay in seconds

If DONT_RECONNECT is not present the Server will try to reconnect to an interface if the connection is lost. Reconnect delay sets the interval in seconds between reconnect tries.

Parameter	Description	Required
Delay	Delay in seconds between reconnect attempts. The default is 15 seconds.	True

DISABLE_DISCONNECT

Disable the Disconnect button on the Interfaces tab in the Server

Use this keyword to prevent the user from disconnecting from the interface. This is typically used in a 'production' environment where you would not want the user to inadvertently disconnect from a target.

LOG_RAW

Deprecated, use LOG_STREAM

LOG_STREAM

(Since 5.5.2)

Log all data on the interface exactly as it is sent and received

LOG_STREAM does not add any OpenC3 headers and thus can not be read by OpenC3 tools. It is primarily useful for low level debugging of an interface. You will have to manually parse these logs yourself using a hex editor or other application.

Parameter	Description	Required
Cycle Time	Amount of time to wait before cycling the log file. Default is 10 min. If nil refer to Cycle Hour and Cycle Minute.	False
Cycle Size	Amount of data to write before cycling the log file. Default is 50MB.	False
Cycle Hour	The time at which to cycle the log. Combined with Cycle Minute to cycle the log daily at the specified time. If nil, the log will be cycled hourly at the specified Cycle Minute. Only applies if Cycle Time is nil.	False
Cycle Minute	See Cycle Hour.	False

Example Usage:

INTERFACE EXAMPLE example_interface.rb
  # Override the default log time of 600
  LOG_STREAM 60

PROTOCOL

(Since 4.0.0)

Protocols modify the interface by processing the data

Protocols can be either READ, WRITE, or READ_WRITE. READ protocols act on the data received by the interface while write acts on the data before it is sent out. READ_WRITE applies the protocol to both reading and writing.

For information on creating your own custom protocol please see Protocols

Parameter	Description	Required
Type	Whether to apply the protocol on incoming data, outgoing data, or both Valid Values: READ, WRITE, READ_WRITE	True
Protocol Filename or Classname	Ruby or Python filename or class name which implements the protocol	True
Protocol specific parameters	Additional parameters used by the protocol	False

Ruby Example:

INTERFACE DATA_INT tcpip_client_interface.rb host.docker.internal 8080 8081 10.0 nil nil
  MAP_TARGET DATA
  # Rather than defining the LENGTH protocol on the INTERFACE line we define it here
  PROTOCOL READ LengthProtocol 0 16 0 1 BIG_ENDIAN 4 0xBA5EBA11

Python Example:

INTERFACE DATA_INT openc3/interfaces/tcpip_client_interface.py host.docker.internal 8080 8081 10.0 nil BURST
  MAP_TARGET DATA
  PROTOCOL READ IgnorePacketProtocol INST IMAGE # Drop all INST IMAGE packets

OPTION

Set a parameter on an interface

When an option is set the interface class calls the set_option method. Custom interfaces can override set_option to handle any additional options they want.

Parameter	Description	Required
Name	The option to set. OpenC3 defines several options on the core provided interfaces. The SerialInterface defines FLOW_CONTROL which can be NONE (default) or RTSCTS and DATA_BITS which changes the data bits of the serial interface.
