Export Service

The Export Service allows users to request and download data archives for auditing or use with their own tooling. Because many ConsoleDot applications need to export data, this service provides some common functionality.

For more information on integrating with the export service, see the integration documentation.

Dependencies

• Golang >= 1.18
• podman-compose
• make (optional for running the Makefile)
• jq (optional for running the Makefile)
• ginkgo

Starting the service locally

You can start the database, minio, and the api using make run.

Ports now exposed:

• public api on localhost:8000
• metrics on localhost:9090
• internal api on localhost:10010
• minio on localhost:9099
• psql on localhost:5432 (use minio as the access key and minioadmin as the secret key to view the dashboard) (use psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres and the pass postgres to connect to the db)

To test local changes, you can restart the api server using make run-api.

Testing the service

You can create a new export request using make sample-request-create-export which pulls data from the example_export_request.json. It should respond with the following information:

{
    "id":"0b069353-6ace-4403-8162-3476df3ae4ab",
    "created_at":"2022-10-12T15:07:12.319191523Z",
    "name":"Example Export Request",
    "format":"json",
    "status":"pending",
    "sources":[{
        "id":"0b1386f4-2b91-44d7-bcb0-9391cfbba4c5","application":"exampleApplication",
        "status":"pending",
        "resource":"exampleResource",
        "filters":{}
    }]
}

Replace the EXPORT_ID and EXPORT_RESOURCE in the Makefile with the id and the sources id from the response.

You can then run make sample-request-internal-upload to upload example_export_upload.zip to the service. If this is successful, you should be able to download the uploaded file from the service using make sample-request-export-download.
