Cloud resource inventory collection for LogicMonitor licensing

Project description

LM Cloud Resource Inventory

A unified solution for collecting cloud resource counts across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI for LogicMonitor licensing purposes.

Overview

This tool collects resource inventory from cloud providers and calculates LogicMonitor license requirements by categorizing resources into:

  • IaaS - Virtual machines and compute instances
  • PaaS - Managed services, containers, serverless functions
  • Non-Compute - Storage, networking, and other infrastructure resources

Quick Start

Installation

pip install lm-cloud-inventory

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/logicmonitor/lm-cloud-resource-inventory.git
cd lm-cloud-resource-inventory
pip install .

Basic Usage

# Run inventory and calculate licenses
lmci run -p aws -o aws_summary.csv
lmci run -p azure -o azure_summary.csv
lmci run -p gcp -o gcp_summary.csv
lmci run -p oci -o oci_summary.csv

CLI Reference

Global Options

Option Description
-v, --verbose Enable verbose logging (shows debug info and full tracebacks)
--version Show version and exit
--help Show help message

run Command (Recommended)

Collect inventory and calculate licenses in one step. This is the primary command for most users.

lmci run -p <provider> [options]
Option Provider Description
-p, --provider All Cloud provider: aws, azure, gcp, oci (required)
-o, --output All Output CSV file (default: license_summary.csv)
-d, --detailed All Generate detailed CSV with per-region breakdown
--show-unmapped All List resource types not mapped to license categories
--profile AWS AWS CLI profile name
-s, --subscription Azure Subscription ID (can be repeated for multiple)
--project GCP GCP project ID
--compartment OCI OCI compartment OCID

Examples:

# AWS - basic
lmci run -p aws

# AWS - with named profile
lmci run -p aws --profile production -o aws_prod.csv

# Azure - all subscriptions
lmci run -p azure

# Azure - specific subscriptions
lmci run -p azure -s "sub-id-1" -s "sub-id-2"

# GCP - auto-detect project from credentials
lmci run -p gcp

# GCP - explicit project
lmci run -p gcp --project my-project-id

# OCI - entire tenancy
lmci run -p oci

# OCI - specific compartment
lmci run -p oci --compartment ocid1.compartment.oc1..xxx

# Any provider - with detailed output
lmci run -p aws -d -o detailed_report.csv

collect Command

Collect inventory only (saves JSON for later calculation).

lmci collect -p <provider> [options]
Option Provider Description
-p, --provider All Cloud provider (required)
-o, --output All Output JSON file (default: inventory.json)
--profile AWS AWS CLI profile name
--region AWS AWS region for API calls (default: us-east-1)
--organization AWS IAM role name for cross-account access
--organization GCP GCP organization ID for org-wide inventory
-s, --subscription Azure Subscription ID (repeatable)
--project GCP GCP project ID
--compartment OCI OCI compartment OCID

calculate Command

Calculate licenses from an existing inventory JSON file.

lmci calculate -i <inventory.json> [options]
Option Description
-i, --input Input inventory JSON file (required)
-o, --output Output CSV file (default: license_summary.csv)
-d, --detailed Generate detailed CSV
--show-unmapped List unmapped resource types

permissions Command

Show required permissions for each cloud provider.

lmci permissions -p aws
lmci permissions -p azure
lmci permissions -p gcp
lmci permissions -p oci

Supported Cloud Providers

Provider API Used Performance
AWS AWS Resource Explorer ~2-5 minutes
Azure Azure Resource Graph ~1-2 minutes
GCP Cloud Asset Inventory ~1-2 minutes
OCI OCI Search Service ~1 minute

For a complete list of supported resources, see LogicMonitor Cloud Services Documentation.

AWS Resource Explorer Limitations

The following AWS services are not indexed by AWS Resource Explorer and will not be collected:

Service Resource Type
CloudSearch Domain
MediaConnect Flow
MediaConvert Queue
OpsWorks Stack
Q Business Application
QuickSight Dashboard (dataset/datasource are supported)
Simple Workflow (SWF) Domain
Application Migration Service Source Server
ElasticTranscoder Pipeline

If you have significant usage of these services, contact your LogicMonitor representative for manual inventory assistance.


Requirements


Credential Setup

Configure credentials for each cloud provider before running the inventory.

AWS Credentials

Option 1: AWS CLI (Recommended)

# Install AWS CLI and configure
aws configure

# Verify
aws sts get-caller-identity

Option 2: Environment Variables

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-access-key"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-secret-key"
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="us-east-1"

Option 3: Named Profiles

# Use a specific profile
lmci run -p aws --profile production

Resources: AWS CLI Configuration


Azure Credentials

Option 1: Azure CLI (Recommended)

# Sign in
az login

# Verify
az account list --output table

Option 2: Service Principal

export AZURE_CLIENT_ID="appId"
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET="password"
export AZURE_TENANT_ID="tenant"

Resources: Azure CLI Authentication


GCP Credentials

Option 1: gcloud CLI (Recommended)

# Initialize and authenticate
gcloud init
gcloud auth application-default login

# Verify
gcloud config list

Option 2: Service Account Key

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/service-account-key.json"

The tool will automatically extract the project_id from the service account JSON file.

Resources: GCP Application Default Credentials


OCI Credentials

Option 1: OCI CLI (Recommended)

# Run setup wizard
oci setup config

# Verify
oci iam region list

Configuration is stored in ~/.oci/config.

Resources: OCI CLI Quickstart


Running in Cloud Shell

Each cloud provider offers a browser-based shell with credentials pre-configured - the fastest way to run the inventory tool.

Provider Cloud Shell Notes
AWS AWS CloudShell Python pre-installed, credentials automatic
Azure Azure Cloud Shell Python pre-installed, az authenticated
GCP Google Cloud Shell Python & gcloud pre-installed
OCI OCI Cloud Shell OCI CLI pre-installed

Output Files

Summary CSV

The default output includes resource type breakdown by category:

Provider,Account,Category,ResourceType,Region,Count
aws,123456789012,IaaS,ec2:instance,us-east-1,42
aws,123456789012,IaaS,ec2:instance,us-west-2,15
aws,123456789012,PaaS,lambda:function,us-east-1,28

TOTAL,,IaaS,,,57
TOTAL,,PaaS,,,28
TOTAL,,Non-Compute,,,125

Detailed CSV (with -d flag)

Same as summary but saved to a separate _detailed.csv file.

Raw Inventory JSON

The _inventory.json file contains raw resource data for analysis:

[
  {
    "provider": "aws",
    "account_id": "123456789012",
    "region": "us-east-1",
    "resource_type": "ec2:instance",
    "count": 42,
    "timestamp": "2024-12-22T10:30:00Z"
  }
]

Troubleshooting

AWS: "Resource Explorer not enabled"

AWS Resource Explorer is required. Enable it in your account:

  1. Go to AWS Resource Explorer Console
  2. Enable Resource Explorer
  3. Create an aggregator index for cross-region queries

AWS: "Access Denied"

# Verify credentials
aws sts get-caller-identity

Check Permissions Documentation for required IAM permissions.

Azure: "AuthorizationFailed"

# Verify login
az account show

Ensure you have the Reader role on the subscription(s).

GCP: "Permission denied"

# Verify auth
gcloud auth list

Ensure you have the roles/cloudasset.viewer role.

OCI: "NotAuthorizedOrNotFound"

# Verify config
cat ~/.oci/config

Ensure the policy allows: Allow group <group> to inspect all-resources in tenancy

General: "ModuleNotFoundError"

pip install .
