Armis Python Library

armis - A Python library for interacting with the Armis cloud.

armis is a Python client library for interacting with the Armis cloud. It connects using HTTP/2 by default, falling back to HTTP/1.1 when necessary. Python 3.9 or later is supported.

Install armis using pip:

$ pip install armis

A Quick Demo of Features

Getting Started

First, let's create an ArmisCloud object:

from armis import ArmisCloud

a = ArmisCloud(
    api_secret_key="your-api-secret-key-here",
    tenant_hostname="your-tenant-hostname-here.armis.com"
)

Device Operations

Let's get a list of all devices matching our ASQ and only retrieve a few fields:

devices = a.get_devices(
    asq='in:devices timeFrame:"10 Seconds"',
    fields=["id", "ipAddress", "name", "firstSeen"]
)
print(devices)

[{"id": 15, "ipAddress": "10.1.2.3", "name": "super-pc", "firstSeen": "2019-05-15T13:00:00+00:00"}]

Queries

If you need to execute ASQ beyond what get_devices gives you, use get_search:

activities = armis_object.get_search(
    asq='in:activity timeFrame:"1 Hours"',
    fields_wanted=["activityUUID"],
)

print(activities)
[
  {
    "activityUUID": "abc12345678901234567"
  },
  {
    "activityUUID": "def12345678901234567"
  }
]

Boundary Operations

Let's get all of the boundaries known to the system:

boundaries = a.get_boundaries()
print(boundaries)

{1: {'affectedSites': '', 'id': 1, 'name': 'Corporate', 'ruleAql': {'or': ['ipAddress:10.0.0.0/8']}}, 2: {'affectedSites': '', 'id': 2, 'name': 'Guest', 'ruleAql': {'or': ['lastConnectedSsid:Guest']}}}

Let's get only one boundary by ID:

boundaryone = a.get_boundary(boundary_id=1)
print(boundaryone)

{"data":{"affectedSites":"","id":1,"name":"Corporate","ruleAql":{"or":["ipAddress:10.0.0.0/8"]}},"success":true}

Deleting a boundary is easy:

result = a.delete_boundary(boundary_id=3424234)
print(result)
{"success": True}

Creating a boundary is easy, though the syntax is not yet documented well here:

result = a.create_boundary(
    name="My New Boundary",
    ruleaql={ "or": [
        "ipAddress:10.0.0.0/24"
        ]
    }
)
print(result)
{'data': {'id': 392309238}, 'success': True}

Collector Operations

Get a list of collectors:

collectors = a.get_collectors()
print(collectors)

{1234: {'clusterId': 0, 'collectorNumber': 1234, 'defaultGateway': '10.0.0.1', 'httpsProxyRedacted': '', 'ipAddress': '10.0.0.2', 'lastSeen': '2019-05-15T13:00:00+00:00', 'macAddress': '00:12:34:56:78:90', 'name': 'Collector 1234', 'status': 'Offline', 'subnet': '10.0.0.0/24', 'type': 'Physical'}}

Get the details for a specific collector:

myimportantcollector = a.get_collector(collector_id=1234)
print(myimportantcollector)

{'clusterId': 0, 'collectorNumber': 1234, 'defaultGateway': '10.0.0.1', 'httpsProxyRedacted': '', 'ipAddress': '10.0.0.2', 'lastSeen': '2019-05-15T13:00:00+00:00', 'macAddress': '00:12:34:56:78:90', 'name': 'Collector 1234', 'status': 'Offline', 'subnet': '10.0.0.0/24', 'type': 'Physical'}

Integration Operations

Get a list of integrations:

integrations = a.get_integrations()
print(integrations)
[{"changeTime":1715778000000,"collectorId":1234,"creationTime":1715778000000,"currentState":null,"enforcementLists":[],"id":20,"instance":"SPAN eno5","integrationState":"ACTIVE","lastRunEnd":null,"name":"SPAN/TAP","params":{"sniff_interface":"eno5"}},{"changeTime":1715778000000,"collectorId":1234,"creationTime":1715778000000,"currentState":null,"enforcementLists":[],"id":21,"instance":"SPAN eno6","integrationState":"ACTIVE","lastRunEnd":null,"name":"SPAN/TAP","params":{"sniff_interface":"eno6"}}]

Get the details for a specific integration:

integration = a.get_integration(20)
print(integration)

{"changeTime":1715778000000,"collectorId":1234,"creationTime":1715778000000,"currentState":null,"enforcementLists":[],"id":20,"instance":"SPAN eno5","integrationState":"ACTIVE","lastRunEnd":null,"name":"SPAN/TAP","params":{"sniff_interface":"eno5"},"statistics":null}

Create an integration:

newintegration = a.create_integration(
    collector_id=20,
    integration_name="collector 20 capture on eno6",
    integration_type="SWITCH",
    integration_params={"sniff_interface": "eno5"}
)

print(newintegration)
{"data":{"changeTime":1715778000000,"collectorId":20,"creationTime":1715778000000,"currentState":null,"enforcementLists":[],"id":1234,"instance":"collector 20 capture on eno6","integrationState":"ACTIVE","lastRunEnd":null,"name":"SPAN/TAP","params":{"sniff_interface":"eno6"},"statistics":null},"success":true}

Delete an integration:

result = a.delete_integration(20)
print(result)
{'success': True}

User Operations

Get a list of users:

users = a.get_users()
print(users)

{12: {'email': 'johndoe@example.com', 'id': 12, 'isActive': True, 'lastLoginTime': '2019-05-15T13:01:23.456789', 'location': '', 'name': 'John Doe', 'phone': '', 'povEulaSigningDate': None, 'prodEulaSigningDate': None, 'reportPermissions': None, 'role': None, 'roleAssignment': [{'name': ['Admin']}], 'title': '', 'twoFactorAuthentication': False, 'username': 'johndoe'}}

Get the details for a specific user, either by userid or email address:

a_user = a.get_user(12)
{'email': 'johndoe@example.com', 'id': 12, 'isActive': True, 'lastLoginTime': '2019-05-15T13:01:23.456789', 'location': '', 'name': 'John Doe', 'phone': '', 'povEulaSigningDate': None, 'prodEulaSigningDate': None, 'reportPermissions': None, 'role': None, 'roleAssignment': [{'name': ['Admin']}], 'title': '', 'twoFactorAuthentication': False, 'username': 'johndoe'}

a_user = a.get_user('johndoe@example.com')
{'email': 'johndoe@example.com', 'id': 12, 'isActive': True, 'lastLoginTime': '2019-05-15T13:01:23.456789', 'location': '', 'name': 'John Doe', 'phone': '', 'povEulaSigningDate': None, 'prodEulaSigningDate': None, 'reportPermissions': None, 'role': None, 'roleAssignment': [{'name': ['Admin']}], 'title': '', 'twoFactorAuthentication': False, 'username': 'johndoe'}

Delete a user by user_id or email address:

a.delete_user('12')

Features

armis gives you:

• Easy connection to the Armis cloud using an API secret key.
• A quick way to fetch devices from the cloud.
• Retries in the event the cloud times out. This can happen with large queries that take more than 2 minutes. This is the default for CloudFlare, which front-ends the cloud infrastructure.
• Mostly type annotated.
• Nearly 100% test coverage.

Installation

Install with pip:

$ pip install armis

armis requires Python 3.9 or later.

Dependencies

armis relies on these excellent libraries:

• httpx - The underlying transport implementation for making HTTP requests
• msgspec - for lightning fast decoding of JSON
• pendulum - for easy date/time management
• tenacity - retry management when things fail, with great retry/backoff options
