montecarlodata 0.15.1

Monte Carlo's CLI

Monte Carlo CLI

Monte Carlo's Alpha CLI!

Installation

Requires Python 3.7 or greater. Normally you can install and update using pip. For instance:

virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate

pip install -U montecarlodata

Developers of the CLI can use:

make install 
. venv/bin/activate

Either way confirm the installation by running:

montecarlo --version

If the Python requirement does not work for you please reach out to [e-mail]. Docker is an option.

Quick start

First time users can configure the tool by following the onscreen prompts:

montecarlo configure

MCD tokens can be generated from the dashboard.

Any AWS profiles or regions should be for the account the Data Collector (DC) is deployed to. If you are not using the CLI for onboarding, you may leave the AWS configuration blank.

Use the --help flag for details on any advanced options (e.g. creating multiple montecarlo profiles) or any prompts.

That's it! You can always validate your connection with:

montecarlo validate

User settings

Any configuration set by montecarlo configure can be found in '~/.mcd/' by default.

The MCD ID and Token can be overwritten, or even set, by the environment:

• MCD_DEFAULT_API_ID
• MCD_DEFAULT_API_TOKEN

These two are required either as part of configure or as environment variables. For AWS, system defaults are used if not set as part of configure.

The following values can also be set by the environment:

• MCD_API_ENDPOINT - Overwrite the default API endpoint
• MCD_VERBOSE_ERRORS - Enable verbose logging on errors (default=false)

Help

Help for commands, options and arguments can be found using the --help flag. Additional documentation is available here.

All commands, except configure and validate, support an --option-file flag, which allows you to use a file in place of passing options. For instance, a --name flag can be set by creating a file containing:

name="Artemis"

Any dashes must be replaced by underscores. For instance, --foo-bar would be foo_bar="qux".

Resolution is CLI Options > Option File.

Examples

• Using Docker from a local installation

  docker build -t montecarlo .
  docker run -v ${HOME}/.aws/credentials:/root/.aws/credentials:ro \
             -e MCD_DEFAULT_API_ID='<ID>' \
             -e MCD_DEFAULT_API_TOKEN='<TOKEN>' \
             -e AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE='<PROFILE>' \
             -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION='us-east-1' \
             montecarlo --version
  

  Replace --version with any sub-commands or options. If interacting with files those directories will probably need to be mounted too.

• Configure a named profile with custom config-path

  $ montecarlo configure --profile-name zeus --config-path .
  Key ID: 1234
  Secret:
  AWS profile name []: shiva
  AWS region [us-east-1]:
  
  $  cat ./profiles.ini 
  [zeus]
  mcd_id = 1234
  mcd_token = 5678
  aws_profile = shiva
  aws_region = us-east-1

Tests and Releases

Locally make test will run all tests. CircleCI manages all testing for deployment.

When ready to release make a PR for master. After merging CircleCI will test and deploy to PyPI.

Don't forget to increment the version number in setup.py first! An existing version will not be deployed.
