    software/ors-amarisoft: Switch *.json.log to emit `data` field via JSON · f32db64f
    Kirill Smelkov authored
    ORS software-release emits many *.json.log files with information about current
    state of eNB and radio units. Those files are used by code in slapos.toolbox to
    implement corresponding promises. The files, it seems, try to match JSON Lines
    format(*) with every line containing a JSON object describing timestamp, log
    level and log payload of corresponding log entry.
    
    So far all is good. One peculiarity, however, is that, contrary to everything
    else, the content of the `data` field in the logs is not emitted via
    JSON-encoding. Initially, starting from 4968d55c (ors-amarisoft: get eNB stats
    and add promises), that `data` payload was being emitted via %s py formatting,
    which is similar to what JSON-encoding would produce, but is not it exactly.
    For example if log payload is {'abc': 123} then %s and JSON would quote `abc`
    differently:
    
        {'abc': 123}  # %s
        {"abc": 123}  # JSON
    
    That would not be a big deal if what %s produces would be still valid JSON
    accepted by JSON-decoder, but unfortunately it is not so: JSONDecodeError is
    raised when {'abc': 123} is tried to be decoded.
    
    The code in slapos.toolbox, so far, is handling this situation by feeding to
    JSON-decoder original input with ' characters replaced by "
    
        json.loads(line.decode().replace("'", '"'))     (+)
    
    which more or less works in basic cases, but breaks when log payload contains '
    character itself. For example for {"a'bc": 123} replacing gives {"a"bc": 123},
    which, being invalid JSON, raises
    
        JSONDecodeError: Expecting ':' delimiter: line 1 column 5 (char 4)
    
    when fed to json.loads() .
    
    I've actually hit this problem for real with amarisoft-rf-info.json.log where
    the data part contains output of `rf_info` looking e.g. as

    which lead to breakage when trying to load that log due to ' symbols.
    
    The fix is simple: change the code, that emits *.json.log to emit data payload
    via json.dumps instead of %s. We can do that without breaking anything because,
    contrary to enb.xlog, those *.json.log are not uploaded to any separate system
    and currently are only used to implement promises without preserving log files
    in any storage for any non-small amount of time. In other words, currently
    those *.json.log are temporary files whose format can be adjusted without
    strongly caring about backward compatibility.
    
    b32b4a8e (software/ors-amarisoft: general improvement for RU (logs/promises/input parameters))
    already changed %s to json.dumps for amarisoft-stats.json.log , but left all other logs at %s.
    
    -> Fix this for everything by replacing %s to json.dumps in all generated logs.
    -> Corresponding slapos.toolbox adjustments are in slapos.toolbox!120.
