Bash SDK: sdk

The Bash version of CTO.ai SDK works in conjunction with our Docker base images. The SDK allows the development of automations with rich user interfaces, that run in both the local terminal and remotly on the CTO.ai Platform.

Supported methods

The following SDK methods are supported by the Bash SDK:

• Secret
• Config
• Track

sdk.start

Starts a remote command/pipeline/service that belongs to the same team as the pipelines, service, or command that executes the method.

sdk.start(workflowName: string): void

Example:

sdk start <workflow name>

Secret

Access the current team’s secret store.

Subcommands:

Get:

USAGE:

sdk secret get <KEY>

OPTIONS:

-H, --hidden    If provided, suppresses the user notification that the secret has been retrieved

ARGS:

<KEY>    The key of the desired secret in the secret store

Set:

USAGE:

sdk secret set --key <KEY> --value <VALUE>

OPTIONS:

-k, --key <KEY>        The key to set the secret under in the secret store
-v, --value <VALUE>    The value to set in the secret store

Example:

sdk secret set --key='secret1' --value='shh'secret=$(sdk secret get secret1)
echo $secret

Output:

shh

Config

Access the current team’s configuration store.

Subcommands:

Get:

USAGE:

sdk config get <KEY>

or

sdk config get --all

ARGS:

<KEY>    The key of the desired value in the configuration store

Set:

USAGE:

sdk config set --key <KEY> --value <VALUE>

OPTIONS:

-k, --key <KEY>        The key to set the value under in the configuration store
-v, --value <VALUE>    The value to set in the configuration store

Delete:

USAGE:

sdk config delete <KEY>

ARGS:

<KEY>    The key of the desired value to be deleted from the configuration store

Example:

cto-ai config set --key='myop_target_domain' --value='cto.ai'

domain=$(cto-ai config get myop_target_domain)
echo $domain

wasDeleted=$(sdk config delete myop_target_domain)
if $wasDeleted; then echo "myop_target_domain was successfully deleted"; fi

Output:

cto.ai
myop_target_domain was successfully deleted

Track

The track function allows you to send Events and retrieve custom analytic data.

USAGE:

sdk track [OPTIONS] <EVENT> [PARAM]...

OPTIONS:

-e, --error <ERROR>    An error string to report

ARGS:

<EVENT>       The event name to track
<PARAM>...    Parameters for the tracking event. Takes key:value metadata entries or tags as strings without colons

Example:

sdk track deploy image:jifejfdkdkdi3930

Result:

Sends an analytics event to The Ops Platform with event deploy and metadata {image: jifejfdkdkdi3930}.

Using Track to Create Events for Insights

Tracking Workflow Metrics using CTO.ai can give deep insight into your team’s activity. To use track to send a Workflow Metric event, place your event data in the <PARAM> field like so:

#!/bin/bash

sdk track "" \
  event_name:deployment \
  event_action:succeeded \
  repo:web \
  commit:956b425e5bee \
  branch:main

The "" argument (the first argument) is a metadata field that isn’t used by the metrics dashboard, but is required by the sdk.track function, so it has been left blank in this example.

NOTE: currenlty the supported values forevent_action are succeeded or failure.

More information about Insights and Wokflow Agents can be found on the Insights Overview page.

Events

Retrieve events that were sent with sdk.track.

USAGE:

sdk events STARTTIME [ENDTIME]

Timestamps can be given in ISO format.

Example:

sdk events -s "2020-05-12T20:47:45Z" -e "2020-06-12T20:47:45Z"

Result:

Retrieves a list of events from CTO.ai that were stored for the active team that occurred between the two given times.
