Issues With Creating A Datasource
I took a working groovy script datasource and am now trying to adjust it to some needs we have. This data will end up giving us alert totals for each month so we can build reports. Any ideas?
Here is what I have so far.
import javax.crypto.Mac;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex;
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper;
//define credentials and url
def accessId = hostProps.get('lmaccess.id');
def accessKey = hostProps.get('lmaccess.key');
def account = hostProps.get('lmaccount');
def alertgroup = hostProps.get('lmaccess.group');
def collectionFailures = 0
def failures = [:]
def client = new LogicMonitorRestClient(accessId, accessKey, account, this.&println)
try {
def alerts = client.get("/device/groups/" + alertgroup + "/alerts", fields: "severity", filter: "startEpoch>:1538370000,endEpoch<:1541048399,cleared:*")
//warnings = alerts.findAll {it.severity == 2}.size()
println "WarningCount: ${alerts.findAll {it.severity == 2}.size()}"
println "ErrorCount: ${alerts.findAll { it.severity == 3 }.size()}"
println "CriticalCount: ${alerts.findAll { it.severity == 4 }.size()}"
println "TotalAlerts: ${alerts.size()}"
}
catch (Throwable e) {
failures["alerts"] = e.toString()
collectionFailures += 1
}
// Do error reporting
println "CollectionFailures:${collectionFailures}"
failures.each{
query, exception ->
println "Exception while querying $query:"
println exception
}
return 0

class LogicMonitorRestClient {
String userKey
String userId
String account
int maxPages = 20
int itemsPerPage = 1000
def println
LogicMonitorRestClient(userId, userKey, account, printFunction) {
this.userId = userId
this.userKey = userKey
this.account = account
this.println = printFunction
}
def generateHeaders(verb, path) {
def headers = [:]
def epoch = System.currentTimeMillis()
def requestVars = verb + epoch + path
// Calculate signature
def hmac = Mac.getInstance('HmacSHA256')
def secret = new SecretKeySpec(userKey.getBytes(), 'HmacSHA256')
hmac.init(secret)
// Sign the request
def hmac_signed = Hex.encodeHexString(hmac.doFinal(requestVars.getBytes()))
def signature = hmac_signed.bytes.encodeBase64()
headers["Authorization"] = "LMv1 " + userId + ":" + signature + ":" + epoch
headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
return headers
}
def packParams(params) {
def pairs = []
params.each{ k, v -> pairs << ("${k}=${v}")}
return pairs.join("&")
}
// Non paginating, raw version of the get function
def _rawGet(path, params) {
def baseUrl = 'https://' + account + '.logicmonitor.com' + '/santaba/rest' + path
def packedParams = ""
if(params) {
packedParams = "?"+packParams(params)
}
def query = baseUrl+packedParams
def url = query.toURL()
def response = url.getText(useCaches: true, allowUserInteraction: false,
requestProperties: generateHeaders("GET", path))
return response
}
// Public interface for getting stuff.
def get(Map args=[:], path) {
def itemsReceived = []
def pageReads = 0
// Impose our own paging parameters.
args.size = itemsPerPage
args.offset = 0
while(true)
{
// Do da nastieh
def response = new JsonSlurper().parseText(_rawGet(path, args))
if (response.errmsg == "OK")
{
// Catch individual items
if (response.data.items == null) {
return response.data
}
itemsReceived += response.data.items
// Check if there are more items
// if (response.data.total > itemsReceived.size())
// {
args.offset = args.size + args.offset
// }
// else
// {
// break // we are done
// }
}
else
{
// Throw an exception with whatever error message we got.
throw new Exception(response.errmsg)
}
pageReads += 1
// Check that we don't exceed max pages.
if (pageReads >= maxPages)
{
break
}
if (response.data.total > 0)
{
break
}
}
return itemsReceived
}
}
If I run the URL with the API creds in my test powershell script, it works perfectly. When I test it in LM as a datasource, I get the attached error.
QuoteException while querying alerts: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL https://XXX.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest/device/groups/224/alerts?fields=severity&filter=startEpoch>:1538370000,endEpoch<:1541048399,cleared:*

OP7 years agoThis was it. Thank you!
Next yeah I will work on using the encoder to fix future issues.
@Michael Rodrigues I went with MIke's suggestion and yeah that worked. Thanks!

·7 years agoTaking Mike's advice, you might just try swapping out your filter string with the URLEncoded version:
"startEpoch%3E%3A1538370000%2CendEpoch%3C%3A1541048399%2Ccleared%3A*"

·7 years agoSince it's part of a URL you might have to use urlencode rather than htmlentieies. So ">" would be "%3C". There is also java.net.URLEncoder in Groovy. I would look at perhaps using something like pairs << ("${k}=${URLEncoder.encode(v, "UTF-8")}") in your packParams() function. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10187344/how-to-encode-url-in-groovy

OP7 years agoIt is the > in the filter. I tried converting to htmlentities and that didn't work. I tried escaping it and that didn't work either.
Any ideas? I am still learning Groovy.

·7 years agoI haven't tested your code but I would try doing some testing and attempt to narrow down which part exactly is causing the issue. For example does your code work fine if you remove all the parameters from the URL? And if you remove just the filter part? My gut feeling would look at the non-alphanumeric characters in your filter and there might be differences between how REST calls work in PS vs Groovy. Perhaps they need to be escaped. You might also want to simplify your code, just for testing, in case there are issues with function parameters or the like.
