titleOn-premise collector

This data collector can be run in any machine that has the Docker service available because it should be executed as a docker container. The following sections explain how to prepare all the required setup for having the data collector running.

Structure

The following directory structure should be created for being used when running the collector:

Code Block
<any_directory>
└── devo-collectors/
    └── <product_name>/
        ├── certs/
        │   ├── chain.crt
        │   ├── <your_domain>.key
        │   └── <your_domain>.crt
        ├── state/
        └── config/ 
            └── config.yaml 
Note

Replace <product_name> with the proper value.

Devo credentials

In Devo, go to Administration → Credentials → X.509 Certificates, download the Certificate, Private key and Chain CA and save them in <product_name>/certs/. Learn more about security credentials in Devo here.

Info

All defined service entities will be executed by the collector. If you do not want to run any of them, just remove the entity from the services object.

Replace the placeholders with your required values following the description table below:

Parameter

Data type

Type

Value Range / Format

Details

debug_status

bool

mandatory

true / false

If the value is true, the debug logging traces will be enabled when running the collector. If the value is false, only the info, warning, and error logging levels will be printed.

devo_address

str

mandatory

  • collector-us.devo.io 

  • collector-eu.devo.io 

Use this parameter to identify the Devo Cloud where the events will be sent.

chain_filename

str

mandatory

minimum length: 4

maximum length: 20

Use this parameter to identify the chain.cert file downloaded from your Devo domain. Usually this file's name is: chain.crt.

cert_filename

str

mandatory

minimum length: 4

maximum length: 20

Use this parameter to identify the file.cert downloaded from your Devo domain.

key_filename

str

mandatory

minimum length: 4

maximum length: 20

Use this parameter to identify the file.key downloaded from your Devo domain.

input_id_value

int

mandatory

minimum length: 5

maximum length: 15

Use this parameter to give a unique ID to this input service.

Note

This parameter is used to build the persistence address. Do not use the same value for multiple collectors. It could cause a collision.

base_url_value

string

mandatory

minimum length: 1

For the URL https://wd5-services1.myworkday.com/ccx/api/v1/acme, the base URL is https://wd5-services1.myworkday.com.

override_token_endpoint_value

string

optional

minimum length: 1

An optional token endpoint. The default token endpoint follows the pattern: {base_url}/ccx/oauth2/{tenant}/token

Info

This parameter should be removed if it is not used.

environment_value

str

Optional

Minimum length: 1

This is an optional control parameter that is injected into the events and allows to differentiate the environment. For example: dev and prod.

Info

This parameter should be removed if it is not used.

client_id_value

str

mandatory

minimum length: 1

The Workday API Client ID

client_secret_value

str

mandatory

minimum length: 1

The Workday API Client secret

refresh_token_value

str

mandatory

minimum length: 1

The Workday refresh token 

tenant_value

str

mandatory

minimum length: 1

The Workday tenant

Please note that the tenant is used as part of the API URL. For instance, in the URL https://wd5-services1.myworkday.com/ccx/api/v1/acme, the base API URL is https://wd5-services1.myworkday.com and the tenant is “acme.”

override_tag_value

str

optional

Devo tag-friendly string (no special characters, spaces, etc.) For more information see Devo Tags.

An optional tag that allows users to override the service default tags.

Info

This parameter can be removed or commented.

start_time_in_utc_value

str

optional

UTC datetime string having datetime string format %-Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S (e.g., “2000-01-01 00:00:01”)

This configuration allows you to set a custom date as the beginning of the period to download. This allows downloading historical data (one month back for example) before downloading new events.

Info

This parameter should be removed if it is not used.

obfuscation_data_values

array<object>

optional

The objects in the array look like this:

Code Block
obfuscation_data:
  - name:
      - credentials
      - "*"
    value: "**********"

Each object represents the necessary configuration to obfuscate messages before these are sent to Devo.

Info

This parameter can be removed or commented.

Download the Docker image

The collector should be deployed as a Docker container. Download the Docker image of the collector as a .tgz file by clicking the link in the following table:

Collector Docker image

SHA-256 hash

collector-workday_if-docker-image-1.1.0

b8e8768ef28d9a1ced13792b3506cb027f40e5c4b3ff7f40adf1a542c10f3025

Use the following command to add the Docker image to the system:

Code Block
gunzip -c <image_file>-<version>.tgz | docker load
Note

Once the Docker image is imported, it will show the real name of the Docker image (including version info). Replace <image_file> and <version> with a proper value.

The Docker image can be deployed on the following services:

Docker

Execute the following command on the root directory <any_directory>/devo-collectors/<product_name>/

Code Block
docker run 
--name collector-<product_name> 
--volume $PWD/certs:/devo-collector/certs 
--volume $PWD/config:/devo-collector/config 
--volume $PWD/state:/devo-collector/state 
--env CONFIG_FILE=config.yaml 
--rm 
--interactive 
--tty 
<image_name>:<version>
Note

Replace <product_name>, <image_name> and <version> with the proper values.

Docker Compose

The following Docker Compose file can be used to execute the Docker container. It must be created in the <any_directory>/devo-collectors/<product_name>/ directory.

Code Block
version: '3'
services:
  collector-<product_name>:
    image: <image_name>:${IMAGE_VERSION:-latest}
    container_name: collector-<product_name>
    volumes:
      - ./certs:/devo-collector/certs
      - ./config:/devo-collector/config
      - ./credentials:/devo-collector/credentials
      - ./state:/devo-collector/state
    environment:
      - CONFIG_FILE=${CONFIG_FILE:-config.yaml}

To run the container using docker-compose, execute the following command from the <any_directory>/devo-collectors/<product_name>/ directory:

Code Block
IMAGE_VERSION=<version> docker-compose up -d
Note

Replace <product_name>, <image_name> and <version> with the proper values.
