Provider and Namespace

Siren provider represents a monitoring server. We define alerts and alerts routing configuration inside providers. For example the below provider, describes how a cortex monitoring server info is stored inside Siren.

# provider
{
  "id": "3",
  "host": "http://localhost:9009",
  "urn": "localhost_cortex",
  "name": "localhost_cortex",
  "type": "cortex",
  "credentials": {},
  "created_at": "2021-10-26T06:00:52.627917Z",
  "updated_at": "2021-10-26T06:00:52.627917Z"
}

Monitoring providers usually have tenants, a sharded way of storing and querying telemetry data. Siren calls them namespaces. You should create a namespaces with the same name as the tenant of your monitoring providers. Example: the below namespace represent the tenant "gotocompany".

# namespace
{
  "id": "10",
  "urn": "gotocompany",
  "name": "gotocompany",
  "provider": 3
  },
  "credentials": {},
  "created_at": "2021-10-26T06:00:52.627917Z",
  "updated_at": "2021-10-26T06:00:52.627917Z"
}

Provider

Provider creation

CLI

$ siren provider create --file provider.yaml

HTTP

$ curl --request POST
  --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/providers
  --header 'content-type: application/json'
  --data-raw '{
  "host": "http://localhost:9009",
  "urn": "localhost_cortex",
  "name": "localhost_cortex",
  "type": "cortex",
  "credentials": {},
  "labels": {}
}'

Terminology of the request body

Term	Description	Example
host	Fully qualified path for the provider	http://localhost:9009
urn	Unique name for this provider (uneditable)	localhost_cortex
name	Name of the proider (editable)	localhost_cortex
type	type of the provider(cortex/influx etc.)	cortex
credentials	key value pair to be used for authentication with the host	{"bearer_token":"x2y4rd5"}
labels	key value pair that can be used as label selector	{"environment":"dev"}

The response body will look like this:

{
  "id": "1",
  "host": "http://localhost:9009",
  "urn": "localhost_cortex",
  "name": "localhost_cortex",
  "type": "cortex",
  "credentials": {},
  "created_at": "2022-01-03T05:10:47.880209Z",
  "updated_at": "2022-01-03T05:10:47.880209Z"
}

Provider update

CLI

$ siren provider edit --id 4 --file provider.yaml

HTTP

$ curl --request PUT
  --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/providers
  --header 'content-type: application/json'
  --data-raw '{
  "host": "http://localhost:9009",
  "urn": "localhost_cortex",
  "name": "localhost_cortex_1",
  "type": "cortex",
  "credentials": {},
  "labels": {}
}'

Getting a provider

CLI

$ siren provider view 1

HTTP

$ curl --request GET --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/providers/1

Getting all providers

CLI

$ siren provider list

HTTP

$ curl --request GET --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/providers

Deleting a provider

CLI

$ siren provider delete 4

HTTP

$ curl --request DELETE --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/providers/4

Note:

1. Before deleting the provider, you will need to delete dependant resources (namespaces).

Namespace

Note: These operations on namespaces inside Siren doesn't affect the actual tenant in the monitoring provider. The user should manage the tenants themselves.

Creating a namespace

CLI

$ siren namespace create --file namespace.yaml

HTTP

$ curl --request POST
  --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/namespaces
  --header 'content-type: application/json'
  --data-raw '{
    "name": "test",
    "urn": "test",
    "provider": "5",
    "credentials": {},
    "labels": {}
}'

Terminology of the request body

Term	Description	Example
urn	Unique name for this namespace (uneditable)	test-tenant
name	Name of the tenant (editable)	test-tenant
provider	id of the provider to which this tenant belongs	1
labels	key value pair that can be used as label selector	{"environment":"dev"}
credentials	key value pair to be used for authentication with the host	{"bearer_token":"x2y4rd5"}

The response body will look like this:

{
  "id": "13",
  "urn": "test",
  "name": "test",
  "provider": "5",
  "credentials": {},
  "created_at": "2022-01-03T07:06:30.884113Z",
  "updated_at": "2022-01-03T07:06:30.884113Z"
}

Updating a namespace

CLI

$ siren namespace edit --id 13 --file namespace.yaml

HTTP

$ curl --request PUT
  --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/namespaces/13
  --header 'content-type: application/json'
  --data-raw '{
    "name": "test2",
    "urn": "test",
    "provider": "5",
    "credentials": {},
    "labels": {}
}'

Getting a namespace

HTTP

$ curl --request GET --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/namespaces/13

Getting all namespaces

CLI

$ siren namespace list

HTTP

$ curl --request GET --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/namespaces

Deleting a namespace

CLI

$ siren namespace delete 13

HTTP

$ curl --request DELETE --url http://localhost:8080/v1beta1/namespaces/13
