Cirrus Webhooks Server

Examples of the webhook event processors from the Cirrus CI.

Datadog processor

This processor receives, enriches and streams Cirrus CI webhook events to Datadog.

Usage

docker run -it --rm ghcr.io/cirruslabs/cirrus-webhooks-server:latest datadog

The following command-line arguments are supported:

• --api-key (string) — enables sending events via the Datadog API using the specified API key
• --api-site (string) — specifies the Datadog site to use when sending events via the Datadog API (defaults to datadoghq.com)
• --dogstatsd-addr — enables sending events via the DogStatsD protocol to the specified address (for example, --dogstatsd-addr=127.0.0.1:8125)
• --event-types (string) — comma-separated list of the event types to limit processing to (for example, --event-types=audit_event or --event-types=build,task)
• --http-addr (string) — address on which the HTTP server will listen on (defaults to :8080)
• --http-path (string) — HTTP path on which the webhook events will be expected (defaults to /)
• --secret-token (string) — if specified, this value will be used as a HMAC SHA-256 secret to verify the webhook events

GetDX processor

This processor receives, enriches and streams Cirrus CI webhook events to DX's Data Cloud API.

Usage

docker run -it --rm ghcr.io/cirruslabs/cirrus-webhooks-server:latest getdx

The following command-line arguments are supported:

• --dx-instance (string) — DX instance to use when sending webhook events as DX Pipeline events to the Data Cloud API
• --dx-api-key (string) — API key to use when sending webhook events as DX Pipeline events to the Data Cloud API
• --http-addr (string) — address on which the HTTP server will listen on (defaults to :8080)
• --http-path (string) — HTTP path on which the webhook events will be expected (defaults to /)
• --secret-token (string) — if specified, this value will be used as a HMAC SHA-256 secret to verify the webhook events

Example

In this example, we'll receive Cirrus CI webhooks events using the Datadog processor.

The simplest way to try this processor is to use Docker and ngrok.

First, obtain the API key from the Datadog's Organization Settings → API Keys.

Then, run the Datadog processor:

docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/cirruslabs/cirrus-webhooks-server:latest datadog --api-key=$DD_API_KEY

Finally, install and run ngrok to expose our Datadog processor's HTTP server to the internet:

ngrok http 8080

This will open the following TUI window:

You'll need to copy the forwarding address and set it in your organization's settings in the Cirrus CI app:

Now you can run some tasks, and the corresponding audit events will appear shortly in your "Events Explorer":
