pyvast 3.0.3

A security telemetry engine for detection and response

VAST Python

The Python package of VAST provides a flexible control plane to integrate VAST with other security tools.

Note The Python effort is still highly experimental and subject to rapid change. Please do not consider it for production use.

Usage

To get started, clone the VAST repository and install the Python package via Poetry:

git clone https://github.com/tenzir/vast.git
cd vast/python
poetry install

Development

We recommend that you work with an editable installation, which is the default for poetry install.

Unit Tests

Run the unit tests via pytest:

poetry run pytest

Integration Tests

Run the integrations tests via Docker Compose and pytest:

./docker-poetry-run.sh pytest -v

Packaging

The following instructions concern maintainers who want to publish the Python package to PyPI.

Note Our releasing scripts and CI run these steps automatically. You do not need to intervene anywhere. The instructions below merely document the steps taken.

Bump the version

Prior to releasing a new version, bump the version, e.g.:

poetry version 2.3.1

This updates the pyproject.toml file.
