How to install the Leo SDK

Pre-Requisites

1. Install the aws-cli toolkit - Instructions for this are found at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html
2. Configure the aws-cli tools - Instructions are found at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html

Your access key and secret key can be obtained in your AWS console. If you were not sent your keys when you signed up, contact Leo support for your access keys if you are running a managed instance.

Install SDK

1. Install using npm. In your project folder run the following command.

npm install leo-sdk --save

Example Usage

Replace the ???? values in this example script with the appropriate values from your installation.
They can be found in Leo console. For more information on how to obtain these values, see AWS Configuration

Load events to Leo Platform

"use strict";

//If you need to use a profile other than default
var aws = require("aws-sdk");
var awsProfile = "default";
var credentials = new aws.SharedIniFileCredentials({
	profile: awsProfile
});
aws.config.credentials = credentials;

//Create the leo object with configuration to your AWS resources.
//These values are required.  See docs for how to obtain them
var leo = require("leo-sdk")({
	s3: "leo-s3bus-????????",
	firehose: "Leo-BusToS3-????????",
	kinesis: "Leo-KinesisStream-????????",

var loaderBot = "LoaderBot";
var queueName = "TestQueue";

//These are optional parameters, see the docs for possible values
var config = {};

//create a loader stream
var stream = leo.load(loaderBot, queueName, config);
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
	var event = {
		now: Date.now(),
		index: i,
		number: Math.round(Math.random() * 10000)
	};
	//write an event to the stream
	stream.write(event);
}
// Must end the stream to finish sending the events
stream.end(err => {
	err && console.log("Error:", err);
	console.log("done writing events");
});

Possible values for config:

These values are not usually necessary. Only use these if you know what you are doing.

• records: Size of buffer before sending to kinesis default: 10
• size: Size in bytes (after gzipping) of the buffer before sending to kinesis default: 204800 - (200K)
• time: maximum time to wait after write call before it sends to kinesis default:{ seconds: 3 } NOTE: This is a moment.duration parseable object moment.js

Enrich events on the Leo Platform

"use strict";

//If you need to use a profile other than default
var aws = require("aws-sdk");
var awsProfile = "default";
var credentials = new aws.SharedIniFileCredentials({
	profile: awsProfile
});
aws.config.credentials = credentials;

//Create the leo object with configuration to your AWS resources.
//These values are required.  See docs for how to obtain them

	s3: "leo-s3bus-????????",
	firehose: "Leo-BusToS3-????????",
	kinesis: "Leo-KinesisStream-????????",
	region: "us-west-2"
});

var enrichmentBot = "EnrichBot";
var sourceQueue = "TestQueue";
var destinationQueue = "EnrichedQueue";

//These are optional parameters, see the docs for possible values
var config = { };

//create an enrich stream
leo.enrich({
	id: enrichmentBot,
	inQueue: sourceQueue,
	outQueue: destinationQueue,
	config: config,
	transform: (payload, metadata, done) => {
		//payload is the event data
		//meta is info about the event, timestamps, checkpointId, etc.
		
		//perform any kind of transformation, lookup to external dbs, or services, etc.
		var event = {
			time: Date.now(),
			number: payload.number * -1,
			newdata: "this is enriched"
		};
		
		//done function must be called in order to complete enrichment
		done(null, event);
	}
}, (err) => {
	//this is called after all events have run through your function and been sent back to the Leo platform
	console.log("finished", err || "");
});

Possible values for config:

These values are not usually necessary. Only use these if you know what you are doing.

Read

• buffer: Maximum number events queued up and ready to process by your function
• loops: How many iterations to execute before finishing
• start: Checkpoint from where you want to begin reading events default: last read event exclusive
• limit: Number events to fetch during this execution
• size: maximum number of bytes to process during an execution. e.g. 5M
• debug: whether or not to run in debug mode and enable extra logging. e.g. true or false
• stopTime: timestamp of when this execution should stop retrieving events
• runTime: max time that the script should run before shutting down and completing execution e.g. e.g. moment.now()

NOTE: You should use either stopTime or runTime, not both. You may also exclude those values and the SDK will feed you events until size, loops, or limits are hit.

Write

• records: Size of buffer before sending to kinesis default: 10
• size: Size in bytes (after gzipping) of the buffer before sending to kinesis default: 204800 - (200K)
• time: maximum time to wait after write call before it sends to kinesis default:{ seconds: 3 } NOTE: This is a moment.duration parseable object moment.js
• debug: turn off and on some extra logging
• enableLogging: if true, your php log output will be sent to AWS and associated with this bot to view through the UI (not yet implemented) default: true
• chunk.records: Max number of records to include before zipping and chunking records
• chunk.size: Max size in bytes of records before zipping and chunking records
• chunk.time: Max time to wait before zipping and chunking records

Offload events off the Leo Platform

"use strict";

//If you need to use a profile other than default
var aws = require("aws-sdk");
var awsProfile = "default";
var credentials = new aws.SharedIniFileCredentials({
	profile: "omadi"
});
aws.config.credentials = credentials;

//Create the leo object with configuration to your AWS resources.
//These values are required.  See docs for how to obtain them
var leo = require("leo-sdk")({
	s3: "leo-s3bus-????????",
	firehose: "Leo-BusToS3-????????",
	kinesis: "Leo-KinesisStream-????????",
	region: "us-west-2"
});

var offloaderBot = "OffloaderBot";
var sourceQueue = "EnrichedQueue";

//These are optional parameters, see the docs for possible values
var config = {};

//create a loader stream
leo.offload({
	id: offloaderBot,
	inQueue: sourceQueue,
	config: config,
	batch: {
		//number of events to include in this batch
		size: 10000,
		map: (payload, meta, done) => {
			//transform events to be included in this batch
			console.log("Batch Map", payload)
			done(null, payload);
		}
	}, 
	each: (payload, meta, done) => {
		console.log("Each", meta.eid, meta.units);
		//payload is object if batch isn't specified, otherwise it will be array of objects
		
		//Do something with this payload like load to Elastic Search
		
		//must call done to cause a checkpoint
		done(null, true);
	}
}, (err) => {
	//this is called after all events have run through your function 
	console.log("All Done processing events", err || "");
});

Notes on batch and each functions

Each

This function will be passed events from off of the stream. They will come in the format of an object for each event, or as an array of objects if there is a batch function used to combine events.

Batch

Sometimes when loading to an external system, you do not want to send events over one at a time. For example, loading to Redshift or Elastic Search which load way more efficiently with larger batches. For this purpose, you can map events through a batching function to compile into a format that makes sense for bulk loading.

• Specify the number of records you want to include in a single batch using the batch.size parameter.
• Whatever you pass to the done function of the map will be passed to the each function as an array
• If you exclude the batch function from your call, the each function will receive events one at a time as an object

Possible values for config:

Read

• buffer: Maximum number events of queued up and ready to process by your function default: 1000
• loops: How many iterations to execute before finishing default: 100
• start: Checkpoint from where you want to begin reading events. It will begin with the next event after the one you pass. default: last read event.
• limit: Number of events to fetch during this execution default: no limit
• size: maximum number of bytes to process during an execution. e.g. 5M default: no limit
• debug: whether or not to run in debug mode and enable extra logging. e.g. true or false. default: false
• stopTime: timestamp of when this execution should stop retrieving events default: 240 seconds from the execution start time
• runTime: max time that the script should run before shutting down and completing execution e.g. e.g. { minutes: 4 } NOTE: This is a moment.duration parseable object moment.js

NOTE: You should use either stopTime or runTime, not both. You may also exclude those values and the SDK will feed you events until size, loops, or limits are hit.
