MsGraphExporter

MsGraphExporter is an application that performs periodic export of time-domain data like Azure AD user signins from Microsoft Graph API into a buffer key-value store (currently supports Redis) for subsequent processing. It uses Celery task queue for parallel processing, gevent greenlets for concurrent uploads, relies on the Graph API pagination to control memory footprint and respects Graph API throttling. The application could be deployed as a single-container worker or as a set of multiple queue-specific workers for high reliability and throughput.

Getting Started

Follow these instructions to use the application.

Installing

MsGraphExporter is distributed through the Python Package Index as ms-graph-exporter. Run the following command to:

• install a specific version

  pip install "ms-graph-exporter==0.1"
  

• install the latest version

  pip install "ms-graph-exporter"
  

• upgrade to the latest version

  pip install --upgrade "ms-graph-exporter"
  

• install optional DEV dependencies like pytest framework and plugins necessary for performance and functional testing

  pip install "ms-graph-exporter[test]"
  

MsGraphExporter is also distributed as the Alpine-based docker container and published on Docker Hub as undp/ms-graph-exporter.

Service Principal credentials with correct access rights to Graph API must be defined for docker/docker-compose.yamlexample deployment to work. Following .env file should be placed at the root of the project folder, or following ENV variables defined in other way:

GRAPH_CLIENT_ID=<clientId>
GRAPH_CLIENT_SECRET=<clientSecret>
GRAPH_TENANT=<tenant>

Then, docker deployment could be initiated with:

docker-compose --file docker/docker-compose.yaml up

Requirements
