Collector "AWS-TransitGateway" Configuration Manual

Before reading this document, please read:

Tip

Before using this collector, you must install the "Integration Core Package" and its accompanying third-party dependencies.

1. Configuration Structure

The configuration structure of this collector is as follows:

Field Type Required Description
regions list Required List of regions to be collected
regions[#] str Required Region ID. For example: 'cn-north-1'
See the appendix for the complete list

2. Configuration Example

Collect instance data from the Beijing region

collector_configs = {
    'regions': ['cn-north-1' ]
}

Configuration Filter (Optional)

This collector script supports user-defined filters, allowing users to filter target resources based on object attributes. The filter function returns True or False.

  • True: The target resource should be collected.

  • False: The target resource should not be collected.

Supported object attributes for filtering:

Attribute Description
TransitGatewayId The ID of the transit gateway
TransitGatewayArn The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the transit gateway
State The state of the transit gateway
OwnerId The ID of the Amazon Web Services account that owns the transit gateway
# Example: Enable the filter to filter based on the TransitGatewayId and State attributes of the object. The configuration format is as follows:
def filter_instance(instance):
    '''
    return True|False
    '''
    instance_id = instance['TransitGatewayId']
    state = instance['State']
    if instance_id in ['xxx'] and state in ['xxx']:
        return True
    return False

###### Do not modify the following contents #####
from integration_core__runner import Runner
import integration_aws_transit_gateway__main as main


@DFF.API('AWS-TransitGateway Collection', timeout=3600, fixed_crontab='* * * * *')
def run():
    collectors = [
        main.DataCollector(account, collector_configs, filters=[filter_instance]),
    ]
    Runner(collectors).run()

3. Data Reporting Format

After data is successfully synchronized, you can view the data in the "Infrastructure - Resource Catalog" of TrueWatch.

An example of the reported data is as follows:

{
  "measurement": "aws_transit_gateway",
  "tags": {
    "OwnerId"          : "xxxx",
    "RegionId"         : "cn-north-1",
    "State"            : "available",
    "TransitGatewayArn": "arn: xxx",
    "TransitGatewayId" : "tgw-xxx",
    "name"             : "tgw-xxx"
  },
  "fields": {
    "CreationTime": "2023-11-22T09:00:42Z",
    "Description" : "Description of the transit gateway",
    "Options"     : "{Transit gateway options}",
    "Tags"        : "[Tags of the transit gateway]",
    "message"     : "{Instance JSON data}"
  }
}
Note

The fields in tags and fields may change with subsequent updates.
