tap-sumologic

tap-sumologic is a Singer tap for sumologic.

Built with the Meltano Tap SDK for Singer Taps.

The main advantage of this version of tap-sumologic vs. other versions on github is that it includes the ability to set the api parameter autoParsingMode to intelligent. This is a feature that also precludes the use of the sumologic-python-sdk which doesn't not allow for setting this parameter either.

Other improvements include the ability to set a start and end date for your search job queries, as well as other general Meltano SDK improvements.

This tap infers stream schemas based on a sample response from the query.

Configuration

Accepted Config Options

A full list of supported settings and capabilities for this tap is available by running:

tap-sumologic --about

Top level config options

• access_id: str: required: The access id for authenticating against the Sumologic API.
• access_key: str: required: The access key for authenticating against the Sumologic API.
• root_url: str: optional: The Sumologic endpoint for your deployment. Defaults to: https://api.sumologic.com/api.
• start_date: str: optional: The earliest record date to sync. Same start date for all tables. Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH: mm:ss.
• end_date: str: optional: The latest record date to sync. Same end date for all tables. Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.
• time_zone: str: optional: The time zone for the queries. Sets the parameter for all queries.
• tables: array: required: This is the list of configurations for each table/query/stream.

Stream level config options

• query: str: required: the Sumo Logic Search Job query. Any query that works in the Sumo Logic UI should work in the api.
• table_name: str: required: the name for the table/stream.
• query_type: str: optional: The type of query result to return. Defaults to messages. Must be one of messages or records.
• primary_keys: array: optional: Additional fields to include in the primary keys. Defaults to [].
• by_receipt_time: bool: optional: Define as true to run the search using receipt time. Defaults to false.
• auto_parsing_mode: str: optional: This enables dynamic parsing, when specified as intelligent, Sumo automatically runs field extraction on your JSON log messages when you run a search. By default, searches run in performance mode.
• quantization: int: optional: Segregates time series data by time period. This allows you to create aggregated results in buckets of fixed intervals (for example, 5-minute intervals). The value is in milliseconds. Only applicable on 'metrics' queries.
• rollup: str: optional: Can be Avg, Sum, Min, Max, Count or None. Only applicable on 'metrics' queries.
• timeshift: int: optional: Shifts the time series from your metrics query by the specified amount of time. This can help when comparing a time series across multiple time periods. Specified as a signed duration in milliseconds. Only applicable on 'metrics' queries.
• schema: optional: A valid Singer schema or a path-like string that provides the path to a .json file that contains a valid Singer schema. If provided, the schema will not be inferred from the results of an api call.

Configure using environment variables

This Singer tap will automatically import any environment variables within the working directory's .env if the --config=ENV is provided, such that config values will be considered if a matching environment variable is set either in the terminal context or in the .env file.

Source Authentication and Authorization

See the Sumologic API documentation for details on how to get your access_id, access_key, as well as for your root url.

Most other relevant documentation can be found here.

Usage

You can easily run tap-sumologic by itself or in a pipeline using Meltano.

Executing the Tap Directly

tap-sumologic --version
tap-sumologic --help
tap-sumologic --config CONFIG --discover > ./catalog.json

Developer Resources

Initialize your Development Environment

pipx install poetry
poetry install

Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the tap_sumologic/tests subfolder and then run:

poetry run pytest

You can also test the tap-sumologic CLI interface directly using poetry run:

poetry run tap-sumologic --help

Continuous Integration

Run through the full suite of tests and linters by running

poetry run tox -e py

These must pass in order for PR's to be merged.

Testing with Meltano

Note: This tap will work in any Singer environment and does not require Meltano. Examples here are for convenience and to streamline end-to-end orchestration scenarios.

Your project comes with a custom meltano.yml project file already created. Open the meltano.yml and follow any " TODO" items listed in the file.

Next, install Meltano (if you haven't already) and any needed plugins:

# Install meltano
pipx install meltano
# Initialize meltano within this directory
cd tap-sumologic
meltano install

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

# Test invocation:
meltano invoke tap-sumologic --version
# OR run a test `elt` pipeline:
meltano elt tap-sumologic target-jsonl
