Manage LogDNA instance configuration via CLI

[Nashluffy]

Really should have a way to manage LogDNA instance (views, alerts, dashboards, etc...) from the CLI or Python. I want to configure alerts from a Python script, back up alerts, dashboards, restore from these JSON backups.

Even if you could just provide an endpoint for me to do this.

Hi @Nashluffy – I transferred the issue to our CLI repo. You can check out the docs for it here:
https://docs.logdna.com/docs/logdna-cli

The configuration features you describe currently aren't available via the CLI, however, they are features we've built into the webapp itself: https://docs.logdna.com/docs/how-to-replicate-logdna-configurations

I'll create a feature request in our internal board to track this as a feature on the CLI, but I don't foresee it being a priority this year.

Hey thanks for getting back so quick. I'll go into more detail, wasn't sure that anyone would see my issue initially.

CLI Added Behavior:

• GET current views
• GET current dashboards
• GET current alerts
• POST create views
• POST create dashboards
• POST create alert
• POST update views
• POST update dashboards
• POST update alert
• POST detach alert

My selfish wish for the aforementioned behaviors mainly revolve around updates to our hosts.

• Whenever we bring a node down, we have to go into the UI and manually detach the alerts.
• Whenever we want to add a new view across all LogDNA instances, we have to go into each UI

Hope this helps. Thanks!
