Sumo Logic Integration

[kdhamric]

Provide a direct integration for Sumo Logic to support it within Tracetest as a trace data source.

Drew Horn from Sumo Logic provided some links that can help:

@sumo-drew Want to get Drew Horn's eyes on this...

[mathnogueira]

So my understanding by reading the API docs is that I need to call these APIs:

• get trace spans until I get all spans from the trace
• for each span: call get span details to retrieve it's attributes and events

@sumo-drew is that the best way of retrieving a complete trace? Or is there a better one?

[mathnogueira]

I don't know if that's possible, but could we get a free account just to run integration tests against this vendor? I would like to automate all vendor integration tests so we ensure they are working in all releases.

@kdhamric , @mathnogueira - Yes those are the endpoints. How many traces are we talking about pulling into TraceTest? Every trace ever created from an automated test? Do you need the entire trace and all attributes all at once?

[mathnogueira]

Basically we need to get one trace per test. We will call the first endpoint a couple of times to ensure the trace has stopped receiving new spans and then call the second endpoint for each span as we need all attributes and events from each span.

I can take the lead on adding docs and examples for SumoLogic.
We have this page that needs more work: https://docs.tracetest.io/configuration/connecting-to-data-stores/sumologic/
And, we need an example app in the examples folder in the GitHub repo.

Update on the above. We've merged the docs work for Sumo Logic.

I think we can close this since we've added docs and examples for Sumo Logic.
