Prerequisites

Before you deploy this sample function, make sure you have run steps A, B and C of the Oracle Functions Quick Start Guide for Cloud Shell

• A - Set up your tenancy
• B - Create application
• C - Set up your Cloud Shell dev environment

List Applications

Assuming you have successfully completed the prerequisites, you should see your application in the list of applications.

fn ls apps

Review and customize the function

Review the following files in the current folder:

• the code of the function, func.py
• its dependencies, requirements.txt
• the function metadata, func.yaml

Create a Datadog API key

• In your Datadog account, select Integrations, and under the APIs, click create API key. This will generate your API key.
• Replace the value of the DATADOG_TOKEN in the func.yaml

Deploy the function

In Cloud Shell, run the fn deploy command to build this function and its dependencies as a Docker image, push the image to the specified Docker registry, and deploy this function to Oracle Functions in the application created earlier:

fn -v deploy --app <app-name>

e.g.,

fn -v deploy --app myapp

Test

In Cloud Shell, run the following fn invoke command to unit test this function:

fn invoke <app-name> <function-name> < test.json

e.g.,

fn invoke myapp oci-logs-to-datadog-python < test.json

You should see the logs appear in Datadog.
