Quick Start

1. Create a Basic Connector

from centra_sdk.main import app
from centra_sdk.routers.health import registry as health_registry, HealthHandler
from centra_sdk.models.connector.v1.operations.health import V1OperationsHealthGetResponse
import uvicorn

@health_registry.register()
class MyHealthHandler(HealthHandler):
    def get_integration_status(self) -> V1OperationsHealthGetResponse:
        return V1OperationsHealthGetResponse(
            overall_status="up",
            component_id="my-connector-id",
            component_type="custom_connector"
        )

# Run the server
if __name__ == "__main__":
    uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

2. Start the Development Server

# Using uvicorn directly
uvicorn centra_sdk.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# Access the API documentation
# http://localhost:8000/docs

3. Running with SSL Certificate

For production deployments or secure development environments, you can run uvicorn with SSL certificates:

# Using SSL certificates
uvicorn centra_sdk.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8443 \
  --ssl-keyfile /path/to/private.key \
  --ssl-certfile /path/to/certificate.crt

# Using self-signed certificates for development
# First, generate self-signed certificates:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes

# Then run with SSL
uvicorn centra_sdk.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8443 \
  --ssl-keyfile key.pem \
  --ssl-certfile cert.pem

# Access the secure API documentation
# https://localhost:8443/docs

SSL Configuration Options:

• --ssl-keyfile: Path to the SSL private key file
• --ssl-certfile: Path to the SSL certificate file
• --ssl-ca-certs: Path to CA certificates file (optional)
• --ssl-ciphers: SSL cipher suites to use (optional)

Production Considerations:

• Use certificates from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA)
• Ensure proper file permissions on certificate files (readable only by the application user)
• Consider using a reverse proxy (nginx, Apache) for SSL termination in production
• Use strong cipher suites and disable outdated TLS versions

Router Modules

The SDK includes several router modules, each handling specific aspects of connector functionality:

🏥 Health Router (routers/health.py)

Manages connector health and status reporting:

@health_registry.register()
class MyHealthHandler(HealthHandler):
    def get_integration_flags(self) -> V1OperationsFlagsGetResponse:
        """Return integration capability flags"""
        pass
    
    def get_integration_status(self) -> V1OperationsHealthGetResponse:
        """Return current health status"""
        pass
    
    def get_integration_metrics(self) -> V1OperationsMetricsGetResponse:
        """Return performance metrics"""
        pass

📦 Inventory Router (routers/inventory.py)

Handles asset discovery and inventory management:

@inventory_registry.register()
class MyInventoryHandler(InventoryHandler):
    def get_labels(self, cursor: int = 0, page_size: int = 100) -> Labels:
        """Retrieve asset labels"""
        pass
    
    def get_inventory(self, cursor: int = 0, page_size: int = 100) -> Inventory:
        """Retrieve asset inventory"""
        pass
    
    def post_assets(self, inventory_id: str, asset_type: str, body: Any):
        """Create or update assets"""
        pass

🛡️ Enforcement Router (routers/enforcement.py)

Manages security policy enforcement:

@enforcement_registry.register()
class MyEnforcementHandler(EnforcementHandler):
    def set_enforcement_policy(self, body: EnforcementPolicy):
        """Apply security policies"""
        pass
    
    def get_enforcement_policy_inventory(self) -> EnforcementPolicyInventory:
        """Retrieve current policy inventory"""
        pass

🎛️ Operations Router (routers/operations.py)

Handles operational tasks like configuration and logging:

@operations_registry.register()
class MyOperationsHandler(OperationsHandler):
    def get_config_options(self) -> InternalConfigMetadata:
        """Get available configuration options"""
        pass
    
    def set_config(self, body: InternalConfig):
        """Update connector configuration"""
        pass

🔐 Authentication Router (routers/authentication.py)

Manages JWT-based authentication and token generation:

from centra_sdk.routers.authentication import AuthenticationHandler, registry
from centra_sdk.models.connector.version import LoginRequest, LoginResponse
from starlette.requests import Request

@registry.register()
class MyAuthenticationHandler(AuthenticationHandler):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        user_handler = GcUserDataHandler({
            "admin": "securePassword123",
            "user": "password456",
            "test": "testpass"
        })
        self._token_handler = BearerTokenHandler(24,
                                                 "your-secret-key-here",
                                                 user_handler)

    def login_user_json(self, body: LoginRequest) -> LoginResponse:
        """Handle JSON-based login requests"""
        username = body.username
        password = body.password.get_secret_value()  # SecretStr requires get_secret_value()
        
        # Generate access token using your token handler
        access_token = self._token_handler.generate_token(username, password)
        
        return LoginResponse(
            access_token=access_token,
            token_type="Bearer",
            expires_in=86400  # 24 hours in seconds
        )
    
    def login_user_form(self, request: Request) -> LoginResponse:
        """Handle form-based login requests"""
        # Parse form data asynchronously
        form_data = asyncio.run(self._parse_form_data(request))
        
        username = form_data.get("username")
        password = form_data.get("password")
        
        if not username or not password:
            raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="Missing credentials")
        
        # Generate access token
        access_token = self._token_handler.generate_token(username, password)
        
        return LoginResponse(
            access_token=access_token,
            token_type="Bearer",
            expires_in=86400
        )

Each handler that SDK user want to secure , should implement validation method. As an example

class JwtValidator:
    def __init__(self):
        self._tokens = {
            "passing_token"
        }

    def validate_token(self, token: str):
        return token in self._tokens

# Include JwtValidator to subclass list and SDK would call validate_token() to validate token.
@agents_registry.register()
class GcAgentsHandler(AgentsHandler, JwtValidator):
    """Implementation of AgentsHandler for GuardiCore integration."""

    def __init__(self):
        AgentsHandler.__init__(self)
        JwtValidator.__init__(self)

Authentication Features:

• JWT token generation and validation using PyJWT library
• Configurable token expiration times
• Bearer token authentication scheme
• Abstract base class pattern for custom user data handlers
• Comprehensive error handling and security logging

Security Considerations:

• Use strong secret keys for JWT signing
• Implement proper password hashing in production
• Set appropriate token expiration times
• Validate tokens on each protected endpoint
• Log authentication attempts for security auditing

Authentication Endpoints:

• POST /v1/login: JSON-based login (requires LoginRequest body)
• POST /v1/login-form: Form-based login (requires form data with username/password)

Usage Examples:

# JSON login
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/login" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"username": "admin", "password": "securePassword123"}'

# Form login  
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/login-form" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
     -d "username=admin&password=securePassword123"

Other Routers:

• Agents Router: Agent management and control
• Control Router: Connector control operations
• Info Router: Integration information and metadata
• Logging Router: Log management and collection
• Onboarding Router: Platform onboarding processes

Models and Data Types

The SDK includes comprehensive data models generated from OpenAPI specifications. Key model categories include:

Common Models

• InventoryItem: Represents discoverable assets
• Label: Key-value metadata for assets
• NetworkTopology: Network relationship data

Enforcement Models

• EnforcementPolicy: Security policy definitions
• PolicyRule: Individual policy rules
• Action: Enforcement actions (allow, block, alert)

Operations Models

• ComponentHealth: Health status information
• InternalConfig: Configuration data
• LogStatus: Logging status and metadata

Provider Models

• Inventory: Asset inventory responses
• NetworkTopology: Network topology data
• LookupRequest: Asset lookup queries

It is possible to provide custom serialization and validation callbacks, for example

from centra_sdk.models.connector.v1.k8s.k8s_inventory import K8SServicesSpec, KubernetesServicePort
from centra_sdk.utils.gc_serializer import register_serializer, register_validator


@register_serializer(K8SServicesSpec)
def k8s_service_serialize(s):
    s.pop('kind', None)
    tuplify(('ports', 'selector', 'external_ips', 'load_balancer_ingress_ips'), s)
    return s


@register_validator(KubernetesServicePort)
def validate_k8s_service_port(v, handler, info):
    if 'target_port' in v and isinstance(v['target_port'], int):
        v['target_port'] = str(v['target_port'])
    return handler(v)
