Bigeye CLI offers developer tools for maintaining your developer workspace.

Bigeye CLI

Version: 0.3.54

Installation

Setting up your local/build environment
Mac with Pyenv

1. Install brew
2. Install pyenv
3. Install python and define a default global:

pyenv install 3.9.13
pyenv global 3.9.13

Conda
Install conda
Create environment with python3.9 or greater

conda create -n bigeye_env python=3.9
conda activate bigeye_env

Linux
Most linux distributes include a default python distribution and we recommend using that default.

Installing Bigeye-CLI

You can install the Bigeye-CLI from your command line with the following command:

pip3 install bigeye-cli

Configuration

Before using the Bigeye CLI, you will need to configure your Bigeye credentials and workspaces. You can do this in the following ways:

• Configuration Command
• Environment Variables
• Credentials and Configuration Files

Configuration Command

The quickest way to get started using the Bigeye CLI is to run the bigeye configure command. This command will walk you through the options to establish default credentials and configurations for the Bigeye CLI.

$ bigeye configure

Using the bigeye configure command, there are two ways to authenticate: basic authentication and browser authentication.

Basic Authentication

If you select basic authentication, the CLI will prompt you to enter your Bigeye username and password. This will create a default credential file at ~/.bigeye/credentials. This credential will be used for all CLI commands
unless an environment variable is explicitly provided.

Browser Authentication

Alternatively, you can use browser authentication (Linux/Mac OS only). Login to your bigeye workspace on a Chrome, Chromium or
Firefox browser. Run bigeye configure and select browser_auth when prompted in the CLI and follow the
instructions. If you use Chrome profiles, make sure to specify the profile email address you are logged into.

Note: Your authentication will only be valid so long as your browser session is active. Not supported with SSO enabled.

Environment Variables

You can create an environment variable for your workspace credential and configuration files, this is helpful if you would like to store your credential and configuration files some place other than their default locations (~/.bigeye). You can do this by adding the following to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file. Please review the format of these files in the below sections.

export BIGEYE_API_CRED_FILE=/some/path/to/credentials.ini
export BIGEYE_API_CONFIG_FILE=/some/path/to/config.ini

Credentials and Configuration Files

Lastly, if you want to specify the credential per command, you can always pass a -b parameter with the file path for the desired credential. You can pass a -c parameter with the file path for the desired configuration.

Sample credentials file:

[DEFAULT]
base_url = https://app.bigeye.com
user = [e-mail]
password = fakepassword1234

Sample configuration file:

[DEFAULT]
workspace_id = 123

Configuration Options

The configuration files can help to simplify other CLI commands by defining common options in one file. See
the table below for the complete list of configuration options.

Key	Description	Type	Example
workspace_id	The id for the workspace [Required]	Int	123
use_default_credential	Whether or not a unique credential is required for this workspace. Default: True	Bool	True
bigconfig_input_path	The path(s) to bigconfig files that are used for the given workspace.	List[strings]	path/bigconfig.yml,path2/bigconfig.yml
bigconfig_output_path	The path used to output bigconfig PLAN reports and FIXME files.	String	output/bigconfig_reports/
bigconfig_strict_mode	API errors cause an exception if True. (Validation errors still cause an exception). Default: False	Bool	False
bigconfig_auto_approve	Bigconfig applies should be allowed to run without excplit plan approvals. Default: False	Bool	False

The configuration options above can be manually set directly in your config.ini files or you can utilize the below command to set the config values.

$ bigeye configure set <setting_key> <value> [OPTIONAL WORKSPACE]
$ bigeye configure set bigconfig_input_path path/bigconfig.yml,path2/bigconfig -w data-science

To view the current value of any specific configuration you can either open the config.ini file or utilize the below command.

$ bigeye configure get <setting_key> [OPTIONAL WORKSPACE]
$ bigeye configure get bigconfig_input_path -w data-science

Multi-Workspace Support

The credential and configuration files are designed to allow Bigeye CLI users to easily switch between their Bigeye workspaces. Each file enforces the idea of a DEFAULT section. All subsequent CLI commands will inherit the properties defined in the DEFAULTsection unless they are directed otherwise. Every command in the Bigeye CLI has the ability to provide a --workspace (-w) option to override the use of the default workspace.

To setup a non-default workspace, run the following command:

$ bigeye configure -w data-science

Or, open up the files and manually edit them based on your setup. Here are some samples.

Sample configuration file with multiple workspaces:

[DEFAULT]
workspace_id = 123
bigconfig_input_path = absolute_path/bigconfig.yml,absolute_path2/bigconfig.yml
bigconfig_output_path = absolute_path/output/

[workspace data-science]
workspace_id = 234
use_default_credential = True
bigconfig_input_path = absolute_path/ds/bigconfig.yml,absolute_path2/ds/bigconfig.yml

[workspace dev]
workspace_id = 100
use_default_credential = False
bigconfig_auto_approve = True
bigconfig_input_path = absolute_path/bigconfig.yml,absolute_path2/bigconfig.yml

Sample credentials file with multiple workspaces:

[DEFAULT]
base_url = https://app.bigeye.com
user = [e-mail]
password = fakepassword1234

[dev]
base_url = https://app.bigeye.com
user = [e-mail]
password = fakepassword1234

Note: Most use cases will only require you to have a single DEFAULT credential that all workspaces can utilize. Running the bigeye configure -w <workspace-name> command for a non-default workspace will prompt you to inherit the credentials from default or create a new set of credentials. A workspace credential is only required if the use_default_credential setting is set to False in the configuration of the corresponding workspace.
