Issue

  • On running serverless Kubernetes horizontal discovery,  the nodes section "15.2. forming k8s_nodes data" errors out as below

    "Failed to parse content due to the following error: Failed to parse XML file. Error: Problem with File Structure"





  • The Json file looks like the below and when checked with Json Checker no issues are observed.

Release

  • All

Resolution

  • As a first step, review if "/root" is added in the "Step 6.5" of the pattern "Kubernetes" in the advanced options per the below article

    https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sys_kb_id=f7149ee2db17b7005ed4a851ca96196e

  • Add the below steps "6.4. Forming services data failover" and "6.5. Parsing services data" after the step "6.3. forming services data" on the "Kubernetes" pattern as below.

  • 6.4. Forming services data failover



  • The Eval script on the above step 6.4, should be as below

    var rtrn = "";
    var res = ${response};
    var len = res.size();
    var data = "";

    for(i=0;i<len;i++){
       var el = res.get(i);
       var payloadObj = JSON.parse(el);
       if(payloadObj.hasOwnProperty('items')){
          var payVal = payloadObj.items;
          for(k=0;k<payVal.length;k++){
             if(payVal[k].metadata.name){
                data = data+payVal[k].metadata.name+',';
             }
              if(payVal[k].metadata.namespace){
                data = data+payVal[k].metadata.namespace+',';
             }
              if(payVal[k].metadata.uid){
                data = data+payVal[k].metadata.uid+',';
             }
              if(payVal[k].spec.clusterIP){
                data = data+payVal[k].spec.clusterIP+',';
             }
              if(payVal[k].metadata.name){
                data = data+payVal[k].metadata.name+' NEWLINE ';
             }
          }
       }
    }
    rtrn = data;




  • 6.5. Parsing services data



  • Add a step under "Target : $services_selector_label" in the step "6.14. forming services selector/label data" with "Target Field Name as "k8s_uid"", and the eval script as below for populating k8s_uid, so that it is correctly parsed.



    Eval Script

    var rtrn = '';
    var serviceLabel = ${services_selector_label[].services_delimeted};
    var matches = serviceLabel.match(/"uid":\s*\"([\s\S]*?)\"/);
    rtrn = matches ? matches[1] : '';



  • Save and Publish the pattern with the above changes and it should work without any errors.
