Programmatically Logging out an authenticated user or Culling an instance

JupyterHub Zero to JupyterHub on Kubernetes

Hello,

We’ve deployed Jupyterhub on Kubernetes and we’re looking to implement 2 monitoring/administration features using python code (set in hub.extraConfig.customAuthConfig).

We have a pre_spawn_hook that launches a thread containing monitoring logic, and we’d like to, conditionally, perform one of these two actions:
1- Terminate the current user session, making them required to re-authenticate
2- Cull the current user server, making them required to re-start it

Kindly review this demo of the python extraConfig we’re aiming to use:

import threading
import time

def monitor_session(spawner):
    while True:
        # Reset the authentication, if a condition is satisfied
        # Stop the server, if a condition is satisfied

        time.sleep(100)

def demo_pre_spawn_hook(spawner):
    monitor_session_thread = threading.Thread(target=monitor_session, args=[spawner])
    monitor_session_thread.start()

c.Spawner.pre_spawn_hook = demo_pre_spawn_hook

Is it possible to implement this custom logout and server shutdown logic in this manner? If not, are there any alternatives?

Thank you!
