How can opsgenie-lamp output be used for automation?

Matthew Greenwald_jb65ng

Hi,

The opsgenie-lamp cli tool has output which is very hard to use for automation. For example the output below would require a lot of parsing to become usable:

% lamp getIncidentList --query "status: open" --output-format yaml --pretty
INFO[2022-02-20T10:58:10.306159-05:00] Client is configured with ApiUrl: api.opsgenie.com, LogLevel: info, RetryMaxCount: 4
2022/02/20 10:58:10 INFO : Incident List : {
"requestId": "dcbeb75a-1759-4642-8cbb-76180052aae6",
"took": 0.02,
"RateLimitState": "OK",
"RateLimitReason": "",
"RateLimitPeriod": "",
"RetryCount": 0,
"data": [

},
{
"type": "user",
"id": "85bacf31-e22b-4c02-a92a-9ca2804e1ee8"
}
],
"extraProperties": {}
}
],
"paging": {
"next": "",
"prev": "",
"first": "https://api.opsgenie.com/v1/incidents?limit=20\u0026sort=createdAt\u0026offset=0\u0026order=desc\u0026query=status:+open",
"last": "https://api.opsgenie.com/v1/incidents?limit=20\u0026sort=createdAt\u0026offset=0\u0026order=desc\u0026query=status:+open"
}
}

What I would expect to happen, especially with output set to JSON is that there would only be a JSON printed so that I could pipe to a tool like jq and then use the data to drive a script. Instead the JSON is wrapped with informational logging with no configurable way to suppress the log output.

There is an open GitHub issue to this effect: https://github.com/opsgenie/opsgenie-lamp/issues/47

And there is a Draft Pull Request to change this as well: https://github.com/opsgenie/opsgenie-lamp/pull/45

Hi @Matthew Greenwald ,

This is Darryl. I am here to help. 

Understand that this inquiry is about the output data of the opsgenie-lamp command tool.

Unfortunately, as you said, it is output to the stderr instead of stdout, and the content is in a log format.

I have just raised a feature request, OPSGENIE-152, and we will keep you posted as all the request tickets don't have public accessibility.

Please note that our Product team reviews all FR together and they prioritize those with higher demand to be implemented first and any FR will take months until is ready since it needs to go through Design, Development, Testing, and rolling out to Production.

Thank you for your valuable feedback in helping us improve Opsgenie.

Kind regards,
Darryl Lee
