Auto remediate bonding issue

[rjsuresh]

We often see issues with interface goes down in a bonding configuration which can be simply brought up/fix by ifup/ifdown (60 to 70%) of the time.

1. validation of OS
2. check bonding cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1 (active / passive - based on the type of bonding configuration)
3. ifdown
4. ifup
5. validate.

if not up,

file a ticket to do the following.

1. check the link on the switch port, if not green engage network team. If that is not fixing,
2. clean the SFP/reseat it, if not fixing
3. change the SFP, if not fixing
4. change the fiber, if not fixing
5. Raise a Vendor case

Yeah I think we can do that.

So there's a few ways i can see to handle this:

• first would be using a library like this: https://github.com/andrew-d/interfaces-rs to get the interfaces on the machine, check if they're a bond and then check the up/down status and take appropriate action.
• the second way would be to open the /proc/net/bonding directory and open each file in there and parse the output to see if they're up/down and take appropriate action.
  I generally prefer using library calls over parsing text
