Sifflet CLI

This package provides a command line interface (CLI) to Sifflet application.

Getting Started

Installation

Sifflet CLI is compatible with Python version 3.7 or greater

pip install sifflet

sifflet --version

Configuration

Before using the Sifflet CLI, you need to set your tenant and credentials. You can do it in several ways:

• Sifflet command line sifflet configure (which will persists configuration in a file)
• Or with environment variables

You will need in both cases the following information:

• <access_token>: you can find more information on how to generate it here
• For SaaS version: <tenant_name>: Name of your tenant. Sifflet UI URL is https://<tenant_name>.siffletdata.com. Sifflet Backend URL is https://<tenant_name>api.siffletdata.com. For instance, if you access to Sifflet UI with https://mycompany.siffletdata.com, then your tenant would be mycompany.
• For self-hosted deployment: <backend_url>: Full URL to the Sifflet backend on your deployment including for instance: https://sifflet-backend.mycompany.com

Sifflet configure

You can input the tenant and credentials directly with the sifflet configure command.

For SaaS version:

> sifflet configure --tenant <tenant_name>
Your API access token [None]: <access_token>

or, for self-hosted deployment:

> sifflet configure --backend-url <backend_url>
Your API access token [None]: <access_token>

The use of sifflet configure will persist the configuration in a file located at ~/.sifflet/config.ini (or in %UserProfile%\.sifflet/config.ini on Windows).

Environment variables

To use environment variables, you can do the following:

For SaaS version:

> export SIFFLET_TENANT=<tenant_name>
> export SIFFLET_TOKEN=<access_token>

or, for self-hosted deployment:

> export SIFFLET_BACKEND_URL=<backend_url>
> export SIFFLET_TOKEN=<access_token>

You can check that setup is done correctly with sifflet status.

> sifflet status

Sifflet version = x.x.x
Tenant = my_tenant
Tenant is up and reachable
Token expiration date = 2024-01-01 00:00:00
Token is valid with scope API
Status = OK

If you encounter any error at this step, please check your tenant and token configurations.

Documentation

The documentation with the available commands can be found here.

Help

The --help option is available for any command, for instance sifflet --help or sifflet rules list --help.

Examples

Trigger a specific rule

• First, find your rule id with sifflet rules list. You can filter with --name to narrow your search.

# Display rules
sifflet rules list
sifflet rules list --name <search_criteria>

• Then you can trigger one of several rules with sifflet rules run

# Run one or many rules
sifflet rules run --id <rule_id>
sifflet rules run --id <rule_id_1> --id <rule_id_2> --id <rule_id_3>

• Finally, retrieve the run status of a rule with sifflet rules run_history

# Display rule runs history for a given rule id
sifflet rules run_history --id <rule_id>

Send dbt artifacts

If you have already added the datasource to Sifflet, you can then send the dbt artifacts for syncing the data.

# send the dbt artifacts
sifflet ingest dbt --project-name <project_name> --target <target> --input-folder <dbt_artifacts_directory>
