coco-agent 0.3.7

coco-agent

A set of tools and utilities for extracting and shipping raw data to ConnectedCompany ("CC").

Pre-requisites

• python 3.6+ (python3 --version to check)
• CC connector ID - this is a string provided by CC, strucured like customer-id>/<source-type>/<source-id>
• optionally, a credentials file, to push data extracts and / or logs to CC

Installation

• Create a new directory for this tool, with a Python virtual environment (venv), then activate the venv:

  mkdir coco-agent
  cd coco-agent
  python3 -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate
  

• Install the latest version of the tool the virtual environment:

  pip install -U coco-agent
  

Extract metadata from a Git repository

To extract metadata from a cloned repo accessible via the file system:

coco-agent extract git-repo --connector-id=<connector id> repo-dir

where

• connector id is the connector ID mentioned above, provided by CC
• repo-dir is the directory of the Git repository

By default, output is written to the out directory.

For additional options, including specifying date ranges, see ./coco-agent extract git-repo --help

Additional data sources

Each will have its own connector-id. Simply re-run the extract command, pointing at each additional source as desired.

Upload data

Once desired data has been extracted, it can be securely uploaded to CC from the output directory:

coco-agent upload data --credentials-file=<credentials file path> <connector id> <directory>

where

• credentials file path is the location of the upload credentials JSON file, provided by CC
• connector id is, as before, the connector ID for the data source
• directory is the directory where data was previously extracted (./out by default)
