Minimum configuration required for basic pulling

Although this collector supports advanced configuration, the fields required to retrieve data with basic configuration are defined below.

Info
This minimum configuration refers exclusively to those specific parameters of this integration. There are more required parameters related to the generic behavior of the collector. Check setting sections for details.

Setting	Details
`company_id`	The company ID is the account number listed on the Admin Dashboard page.
`provisioning_hash`	The provisioning hash is the master API key that can be set from the Admin Enterprise API page.

Accepted authentication methods

Authentication method	Company ID	Provisioning hash
`company_id/provisioning_hash`	Required	Required

Run the collector

Once the data source is configured, you can either send us the required information if you want us to host and manage the collector for you (Cloud collector), or deploy and host the collector in your own machine using a Docker image (On-premise collector).

        │   └── <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.

Note
Replace `<product_name>` with the proper value.

title	Cloud collector

We use a piece of software called Collector Server to host and manage all our available collectors. If you want us to host this collector for you, get in touch with us and we will guide you through the configuration.

Collector services detail

This section is intended to explain how to proceed with specific actions for services.

Events service

Expand

title	reporting

Internal process and deduplication method

All LastPass reporting events are fetched via the reporting command endpoint. The collector continually pulls new events since the last recorded timestamp. A unique hash value is computed for each event and used for deduplication purposes to ensure events are not fetched multiple times in subsequent pulls.

Devo categorization and destination

All events of this service are ingested into the table app.lastpass.events

Setup output

A successful run has the following output messages for the setup module:

title	Restart the persistence

This collector uses persistent storage to download events in an orderly fashion and avoid duplicates. In case you want to re-ingest historical data or recreate the persistence, you can restart the persistence of this collector by following these steps:

Edit the configuration file.
Change the value of the start_time_in_utc parameter to a different one.
Save the changes.
Restart the collector.

The collector will detect this change and will restart the persistence using the parameters of the configuration file or the default configuration in case it has not been provided.

Expand

title	Troubleshooting

This collector has different security layers that detect both an invalid configuration and abnormal operation. This table will help you detect and resolve the most common errors.

Error Type	Error Id	Error Message	Cause	Solution
SetupError	102	Failed to fetch data from {endpoint}. Source is not pullable.	The provided credentials, base URL, and/or token endpoint are incorrect.	Revisit the configuration steps and ensure that the correct values were specified in the config file.
ApiError	401	Error during API call to... (API provider HTML error response here)	The server returned an HTTP 401 response.	Ensure that the provided credentials are correct and provide read access to the targeted data.
ApiError	429	Error during API call to... (API provider HTML error response here)	The server returned an HTTP 429 response.	The collector will attempt to retry requests (default up to 3 times) and respect back-off headers if they exist. If the collector repeatedly encounters this error, adjust the rate limit and/or contact the API provider to ensure that you have enough quota to complete the data pull.
ApiError	498	Error during API call to… (API provider HTML error response here)	The server returned an HTTP 500 response.	If the API returns a 500 but successfully completes subsequent runs then you may ignore this error. If the API repeatedly returns a 500 error, ensure the server is reachable and operational.

Collector operations

This section is intended to explain how to proceed with specific operations of this collector.

title	Verify collector operations

Initialization

The initialization module is in charge of setup and running the input (pulling logic) and output (delivering logic) services and validating the given configuration.

A successful run has the following output messages for the initializer module:

Events delivery and Devo ingestion

The event delivery module is in charge of receiving the events from the internal queues where all events are injected by the pullers and delivering them using the selected compatible delivery method.

A successful run has the following output messages for the initializer module:

Code Block

Sender services

The Integrations Factory Collector SDK has 3 different senders services depending on the event type to delivery (internal, standard, and lookup). This collector uses the following Sender Services:

Sender services	Description
`internal_senders`	In charge of delivering internal metrics to Devo such as logging traces or metrics.
`standard_senders`	In charge of delivering pulled events to Devo.

Sender statistics

Each service displays its own performance statistics that allow checking how many events have been delivered to Devo by type:

Logging trace

Description

Number of available senders: 1

Displays the number of concurrent senders available for the given Sender Service.

sender manager internal queue size: 0

Displays the items available in the internal sender queue.

Info
This value helps detect bottlenecks and needs to increase the performance of data delivery to Devo. This last can be made by increasing the concurrent senders.

Total number of messages sent: 44, messages sent since "2022-06-28 10:39:22.511671+00:00": 21 (elapsed 0.007 seconds)

Displayes the number of events from the last time and following the given example, the following conclusions can be obtained:

44 events were sent to Devo since the collector started.
The last checkpoint timestamp was 2022-06-28 10:39:22.511671+00:00.
21 events where sent to Devo between the last UTC checkpoint and now.
Those 21 events required 0.007 seconds to be delivered.

Info
By default these traces will be shown every 10 minutes.

title	Check memory usage

To check the memory usage of this collector, look for the following log records in the collector which are displayed every 5 minutes by default, always after running the memory-free process.

The used memory is displayed by running processes and the sum of both values will give the total used memory for the collector.
The global pressure of the available memory is displayed in the global value.
All metrics (Global, RSS, VMS) include the value before freeing and after previous -> after freeing memory
