Configurations

ARLAS configurations

An ARLAS Configuration tells arlas_cli how to contact ARLAS Server and Elasticsearch.

See more information about configuration.

It is possible, with the arlas_cli confs command lines, to manage the ARLAS configurations.

Create a new configuration

The arlas_cli confs create command has to be filled with options specific to your ARLAS deployment.

Those options can be filled as described in the following sections.

ARLAS Authentication

For ARLAS, keycloak and ARLAS IAM authentications are supported.

To create a configuration using ARLAS IAM, the following parameters have to be set with your values:

  • The IAM session url IAM_URL
  • Your IAM user ARLAS_USER
  • Your IAM password ARLAS_PWD
  • Your ARLAS organization ARLAS_ORGANIZATION

The following options are used by confs create sub-command to generate the conf: 

--auth-arlas-iam
--auth-token-url {IAM_URL}
--auth-login {ARLAS_USER}
--auth-password {ARLAS_PWD}
--auth-headers "Content-Type:application/json;charset=utf-8"
--auth-org {ARLAS_ORGANIZATION}

By default, the authentication is supposed to be with ARLAS IAM. For Keycloak, use --no-auth-arlas-iam

Keycloak authentication details coming soon...

ARLAS Server and Persistence

The ARLAS server URL (ARLAS_SERVER_URL) and the ARLAS persistence server URL (ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL) have to be set in the configuration using the following options in the confs create sub-command: 

--server {ARLAS_SERVER_URL}
--headers "Content-Type:application/json"
--persistence {ARLAS_PERSISTENCE_URL}
--persistence-headers "Content-Type:application/json"

Elasticsearch

The used Elasticsearch instance and your credentials has to be set in the configuration:

  • ELASTIC_ENDPOINT: The used Elasticsearch endpoint (eg: http://localhost:9200)
  • ELASTIC_USER: Your ES user name
  • ELASTIC_PWD: Your ES user password

The link to the ES instance is configured by using the following options in the confs create sub-command: 

--elastic {ELASTIC_ENDPOINT}
--elastic-headers "Content-Type:application/json"
--elastic-login {ELASTIC_USER}
--elastic-password {ELASTIC_PWD}

Allow data deletion

By default, it is not possible to run the indices delete command on an elasticsearch with arlas_cli. This is to prevent accidental data loss.

--allow-delete

In order to allow to delete on a configuration, use the --allow-delete option.

login

Create configuration for ARLAS Cloud

The confs longin allows to create a configuration linked to an ARLAS Cloud account:

> arlas_cli confs login --help
Usage: arlas_cli confs login [OPTIONS] AUTH_LOGIN ELASTIC_LOGIN ELASTIC

  Add a configuration for ARLAS Cloud

Arguments:
  AUTH_LOGIN     ARLAS login  [required]
  ELASTIC_LOGIN  Elasticsearch login  [required]
  ELASTIC        Elasticsearch url  [required]

Options:
  --auth-org TEXT                 ARLAS IAM Organization, default is your
                                  email domain name
  --allow-delete / --no-allow-delete
                                  Is delete command allowed for this
                                  configuration?  [default: allow-delete]
  --auth-password TEXT            ARLAS password
  --elastic-password TEXT         elasticsearch password
  --help                          Show this message and exit.

  See full arlas_cli documentation at https://gisaia.github.io/arlas_cli/

Only your own ES and ARLAS credentials have to be set, the configuration is directly linked to the ARLAS Cloud instance.

It creates a configuration based on your username (extracted from your ARLAS login) : cloud.arlas.io.{USER_NAME}

Note

This created configuration is used as default.

You no longer need to declare the --config in the arlas_cli commands

See the ARLAS Cloud configuration guide.

delete

Delete an existing configuration

An existing configuration can be deleted with the confs delete sub command:

> arlas_cli confs delete --help
Usage: arlas_cli confs delete [OPTIONS] CONFIG

  Delete a configuration

Arguments:
  CONFIG  Name of the configuration  [required]

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

  See full arlas_cli documentation at https://gisaia.github.io/arlas_cli/

To remove an existing configuration from the default configuration file, simply run the following command:

```shell
arlas_cli confs delete {conf_name}

The configuration will no longer appear in the configuration file.

Warning

Once deleted, the configuration cannot be retrieved.

describe

Describe the content of a configuration

The content of a configuration can be detailed with confs describe sub command:

> arlas_cli confs describe --help
Usage: arlas_cli confs describe [OPTIONS] CONFIG

  Describe a configuration

Arguments:
  CONFIG  Name of the configuration  [required]

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

  See full arlas_cli documentation at https://gisaia.github.io/arlas_cli/

For example, the default local configuration looks like:

<!-- termynal -->
```shell
> arlas_cli confs describe local
allow_delete: true
authorization: null
elastic:
  headers:
    Content-Type: application/json
  location: http://localhost:9200
  login: null
  password: null
persistence:
  headers:
    Content-Type: application/json
  location: http://localhost/persist
  login: null
  password: null
server:
  headers:
    Content-Type: application/json
  location: http://localhost/arlas
  login: null
  password: null

We get the different elements of the configurations:

  • authorization: The authentication system configuration
  • elastic: The link to Elasticsearch cluster
  • persistence: The link to ARLAS persistence
  • server: The link to ARLAS server

See more about the configuration.

list

List the available configurations

The list of available configurations can be obtained with confs list sub command:

> arlas_cli confs list --help
Usage: arlas_cli confs list [OPTIONS]

  List configurations

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

  See full arlas_cli documentation at https://gisaia.github.io/arlas_cli/

The `confs list` sub-command returns the list of available configuration names and their ARLAS server url.

For example:
<!-- termynal -->
```shell
> arlas_cli confs list
+-------+------------------------+
| name  | url                    |
+-------+------------------------+
| local | http://localhost/arlas |
