slogen

CLI tool to generate SLO dashboards, monitors & SLI data from OpenSLO configs. The resources are generated via terraform which can be consumed on its as as well.

Currently supported vendors/data sources.

  • Sumologic - more details here

list panels

A flow graph of SLO to AlertPolicy to AlertNotificationTarget is also generated in the output dir as slo-dep-graph.png. Flow graphs for sample configs here (only supported for v1 onward specs).

Getting the tool

install with go1.17 or above as go install github.com/OpenSLO/slogen@latest

latest golang release can be installed by using the directions here : https://github.com/udhos/update-golang#usage. Add $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

It can be done with

export PATH=`go env GOPATH`/bin:$PATH

The pre-compiled binaries for specific platforms are also available on the release page.

Using the tool

Set the sumologic auth as ENV variables as required by the terraform provider:
Note : Terraform installation is not required as the tool binary has it embedded as terraform-exec
create the yaml config for the SLO. more samples based on real data.
validate the configs as (you can also pass the path to the entire dir to validate the files in it.)

slogen validate path/to/config

run the tool to generate the terraform files and apply them (you can remove the --apply to just generate the files)

slogen path/to/config --apply

If you remove any of the OpenSLO configs, then you should use

slogen path/to/config --apply --clean

the --clean option will remove the generated terraform files for which the yaml config no longer exists.

running the tool behind a http/https proxy

set the following env variables in the bash session before running the tool

export HTTP_PROXY="http://proxyIp:proxyPort"
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://proxyIp:proxyPort"
for further details run slogen help

list          utility command to get additional info about your sumo resources e.g.
destroy       destroy the content generated from the slogen command, equivalent to 'terraform destroy'
new           create a sample config from given profile 
validate      config is as per OpesSLO standards and has valid values.
completion    generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell 
docs          A brief description of your command 

Flags:
-o, --out string        :   output directory where to create the terraform files (default "tf")
-d, --dashboardFolder   :   string output directory where to create the terraform files (default "slogen-tf-dashboards")
-m, --monitorFolder     :   string output directory where to create the terraform files (default "slogen-tf-monitors")
-i, --ignoreErrors      :   whether to continue validation even after encountering errors 
-p, --plan              :   show plan output after generating the terraform config 
-a, --apply             :   apply the generated terraform config as well 
-c, --clean             :   clean the old tf files for which openslo config were not found in the path args 
-h, --help              :   help for slogen
    --asModule          :   whether to generate the terraform config as a module
    --useViewHash      :   whether to use descriptive or hashed name for the scheduled views, hashed names ensure data for old view is not used when the query for it changes

Use "slogen [command] --help" for more information about a command. Example config with inline comment explaining the
various fields

deleting resources created

run the below command

slogen destroy [path to out dir (default to './tf')]

It will show the resources that will be deleted and ask for confirmation before deleting them.

Getting connection ID's for alert notification

Currently, the sumo UI doesn't provide a way to get the connection id's for alert notification. As a workaround, you can use the following command to get the id list.

slogen list -c

Support for Labels

Slogen supports labels from the OpenSLO config and applies them as tags to the native SLOs created in the vendor environment (Sumologic). In the OpenSLO spec, metadata.labels is an optional map of keys to one or more values. Slogen supports only one value per unique key. The first value specified in the list of values will be considered.

Please note that this field is in closed preview and is not available on Sumologic native SLOs until access is granted. Contact your Sumo Logic account representative to get early access.
