Description:

argusclient 1.0

This is a minimal and thin layer of Python client code on top of the
Argus webservices REST API. Most of the library API is 1:1 with that of
REST API so it serves to be more of a convenience than an abstraction.
This means you still need to be familiar with the underlying REST API to
be effective. For more information on the REST API and data model, refer
to the Argus - User
Guide.
Special thanks to Demian Brecht
for giving a lot of feedback early and helping to shape the API and the
project.
You can also browse the Python API documentation online at: https://salesforce.github.io/python-argusclient/

A quick primer to using argusclient
Below you will find functional and self-explanatory code that shows how
to do the following:

Import the relevant pieces from argusclient
Create the main entry point and establish login session
Query for existing namespaces
Create a new namespace
Collect metrics and annotations
Post metrics and annotations
Query for existing dashboards
Update or Create dashboard
Query for existing alerts
Delete alert
Create an alert along with a trigger and a notification

In addition, also look at the bundled example named
splunk_to_argus.py that shows how to extract metrics from Splunk and
push them to Argus.

Some package imports and initializations that we use later
import sys, os, time, calendar, getpass, logging, random
import lxml.etree

from argusclient import *
from argusclient.dashboardtags import DASHBOARD, CHART, TITLE, METRIC, FLAGS

logging.basicConfig()
logging.root.setLevel(logging.INFO)
logging.getLogger("requests").setLevel(logging.WARN)

endpoint = "http://localhost:8080/argusws"
user = "hdara"
password = None

tags = { "host": "hdara-wsl" }
fields = { "user": user }
curtm = long(calendar.timegm(time.gmtime()))*1000
ns_name = "hdara-ns"
ns_access_addl_users = ("hdara",)
dashboard_name = "hdara.test.dashboard"
alert_name = "hdara.test.alert"
scope_name = "hdara"
metric_name = "test"
ans = []


Login to the service and establish session
argus = ArgusServiceClient(user,
password or getpass.getpass("SSO password for %s: " % user),
endpoint=endpoint)
logging.info("Logging in")
argus.login()


Check if a namespace exists and create one if missing
logging.info("Looking up existing namespace with name: %s", ns_name)
nss = dict((ns.qualifier, ns) for ns in argus.namespaces.values())
ns = nss.get(ns_name)
if not ns:
logging.info("Creating new namespace with name: %s", ns_name)
ns = argus.namespaces.add(Namespace(ns_name))


Generate some random metrics against hdara-ns:hdara:test and mark the start and end with annotations.
logging.info("Generating some metric and annotation data for the dashboard")
m = Metric(scope_name, metric_name, tags=tags, namespace=ns_name)
for t in xrange(10, 0, -1):
# Warden requires 1 minute gap between successive data points.
ts = curtm-t*60*1000
m.datapoints[ts] = random.randint(50, 100)
if not ans or t == 1:
ans.append(Annotation("script", "hdara", "test", ts, ts, "generated", tags=tags, fields=dict(event=ans and "start" or "end", **fields)))


Send metrics and annotations to Argus
logging.info("Adding metrics data to Argus")
am_resp = argus.metrics.add([m]);
if am_resp.error_count():
logging.error("Errors reported in metric data: errorCount: %s errorMessages: %s", am_resp.error_count(), am_resp.error_messages())
logging.info("Adding annotation data to Argus")
an_resp = argus.annotations.add(ans)
if an_resp.error_count():
logging.error("Errors reported in annotation data: errorCount: %s errorMessages: %s", an_resp.error_count(), an_resp.error_messages())


Generate dashboard content
mquery = str(MetricQuery(scope_name, metric_name, "sum", tags=tags, stTimeSpec="-1d", enTimeSpec="-0d", namespace=ns_name))
aquery = str(AnnotationQuery(scope_name, metric_name, "generated", tags=tags, stTimeSpec="-1d", enTimeSpec="-0d"))
content = lxml.etree.tostring(DASHBOARD(
CHART(
TITLE("hdara.test"),
METRIC(mquery, name="hdara.test.metric"),
FLAGS(aquery, name="hdara.test.annotation"),
name="Chart"
)
), method="html")
dashbobj.content = content


Update or Create dashboard
logging.info("Looking up existing dashboard with name: %s", dashboard_name)
dashbobj = argus.dashboards.get_user_dashboard(user, dashboard_name, shared=False)
if not dashbobj:
logging.info("Creating new dashboard with name: %s", dashboard_name)
dashbobj = Dashboard(dashboard_name, content, shared=True, description="A new dashboard")
dashbobj = argus.dashboards.add(dashbobj)
else:
logging.info("Updating dashboard with name: %s id %s", dashboard_name, dashbobj.argus_id)
dashbobj.content = content
argus.dashboards.update(dashbobj.argus_id, dashbobj)
logging.info("Dashboard url: %s", os.path.join(os.path.dirname(endpoint), "argus/#/dashboards", str(dashbobj.argus_id)).replace("-ws", "-ui"))


Look for an existing alert and delete it so that we can recreate it
logging.info("Looking up existing alert with name: %s owned by user: %s", alert_name, user)
alertobj = argus.alerts.get_user_alert(user, alert_name, shared=False)
if alertobj:
logging.info("Deleting existing alert with name: %s id: %s", alert_name, alertobj.argus_id)
argus.alerts.delete(alertobj.argus_id)


Finally, create alert with a trigger and a notification
logging.info("Creating new alert with alert name: %s", alert_name)
alertobj = argus.alerts.add(Alert(alert_name, mquery, "* */1 * * *",
trigger=Trigger("hdara.test.trigger", Trigger.GREATER_THAN, 100000, 600000),
notification=Notification("hdara.test.notification", Notification.EMAIL, subscriptions=["hdara@salesforce.com"]),
shared=True))
