Chaos Toolkit extension for the Humio platform

Build, Test, and Lint Python versions

This project is an extension for the Chaos Toolkit to target Humio.

Install

This package requires Python 3.7+

To be used from your experiment, this package must be installed in the Python environment where chaostoolkit already lives.

$ pip install -U chaostoolkit-humio

Humio Token

To use this extension, you will need one piece of information from Humio, the API token for a user.

Usage

This extension can be used a control on the experiment or a notification plugin of the Chaos Toolkit CLI itself. Usually, only one of these two methods is used at any given time as they serve similar purpose but feel free to combine them. The control approach is deeper because it logs down to the activity whereas notifications are much higher level.

This extension can also be used as a probe to fetch information from Humio.

Query Log Events

To use this extension as a probe as part of your experiment, use it as follows:

{
  "configuration": {
    "humio_url": {
      "type": "env",
      "key": "HUMIO_URL",
      "default": "https://cloud.humio.com"
    },
    "humio_repository": {
      "type": "env",
      "key": "HUMIO_REPOSITORY",
      "default": "sandbox"
    }
  },
  "secrets": {
    "humio": {
      "token": {
        "type": "env",
        "key": "HUMIO_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  },
  "steady-state-hypothesis": {
    "title": "Running experiment",
    "probes": [
      {
        "name": "run-humio-search-query",
        "type": "probe",
        "provider": {
          "type": "python",
          "module": "chaoshumio.probes",
          "func": "search_query",
          "secrets": [
            "humio"
          ],
          "arguments": {
            "qs": "count(as=_count)",
            "start": "24hours",
            "end": "now"
          }
        },
        "tolerance": {
          "name": "humio-query-result-value-greater-than",
          "type": "probe",
          "provider": {
            "type": "python",
            "module": "chaoshumio.tolerances",
            "func": "field_value_above",
            "arguments": {
              "field": "_count",
              "lower": 1
            }
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

In this example, we are using the search_query probe and validate it with a specific tolerance that can inspect the returned payload from Humio and ensure each value matches the required expectations.

Notification

To use this extension to push notifications, edit your chaostoolkit settings by adding the following payload:

notifications:
  -
    type: plugin
    module: chaoshumio.notification
    humio_url: https://myhumio.company.com
    token: my-token

By default all events will be forwarded to that channel. You may filter only those events you care for:

notifications:
  -
    type: plugin
    module: chaoshumio.notification
    humio_url: https://myhumio.company.com
    token: my-token
    events:
      - run-failed
      - run-started

Only sends those two events.

Control

To use this extension as a control over the experiment and send logs during the execution of the experiment to https://cloud.humio.com, add the following payload to your experiment:

{
    "secrets": {
        "humio": {
            "ingest_token": {
                "type": "env",
                "key": "HUMIO_INGEST_TOKEN"
            }
        }
    },
    "controls": [
        {
            "name": "humio-logger",
            "provider": {
                "type": "python",
                "module": "chaoshumio.control"
            }
        }
    ]
}

You do not need to set the secrets property in the provider block. In a control, all secrets are passed directly to each control asking for it.

If you want to send logs to a different Humio URL endpoint, specify the humio_url configuration parameter. The following shows how this parameter:

{
    "secrets": {
        "humio": {
            "ingest_token": {
                "type": "env",
                "key": "HUMIO_INGEST_TOKEN"
            }
        }
    },
    "configuration": {
        "humio_url": "https://myhumio.company.com"
    },
    "controls": [
        {
            "name": "humio-logger",
            "provider": {
                "type": "python",
                "module": "chaoshumio.control"
            }
        }
    ]
}

This will ensure the results of the experiment, steady-state, method, rollbacks and each activity are sent to Humio. The experiment itself will also be send initially.
