"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
Chase Zieman
“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”
Rupak Patel
"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Begin by ensuring that AWS CloudTrail is properly configured to log events. Navigate to the AWS CloudTrail console, and create or verify an existing trail that logs management and data events. Ensure that the trail is set to deliver logs to an S3 bucket. This S3 bucket will serve as the source of the CloudTrail logs.
Set up an S3 bucket to store CloudTrail logs. Ensure correct permissions are in place so that CloudTrail can write logs to this bucket. You may need to set up an S3 bucket policy that allows CloudTrail to perform necessary actions like `s3:PutObject`.
Create an IAM role with permissions to read from your S3 bucket. This role will be used later to access the logs when transferring data to ClickHouse. Make sure the role has the `s3:GetObject` permission for the S3 bucket containing the CloudTrail logs.
Install the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) on your local machine or a server that will orchestrate the data transfer. Configure the CLI with the necessary credentials and region settings. Use the `aws configure` command to enter your AWS Access Key, Secret Key, and preferred region.
Use the AWS CLI to download the CloudTrail logs from the S3 bucket to a local or intermediate storage. Execute a command like `aws s3 cp s3://your-cloudtrail-bucket/path/to/logs/ /local/path/ --recursive` to download logs recursively. This step ensures you have access to the raw log data for processing.
Develop a script or use a tool (like a Python script with the `json` module) to parse the JSON-formatted CloudTrail logs. Transform the data into a CSV format or another structured format that ClickHouse can ingest. Ensure the script extracts relevant fields and formats them correctly.
Use ClickHouse's native tools to load the transformed data. You can use the `clickhouse-client` command-line tool to execute SQL queries that insert the data into your ClickHouse tables. For example, use `clickhouse-client --query="INSERT INTO your_table FORMAT CSV" < /path/to/transformed_data.csv` to load the data. Ensure that the ClickHouse table schema matches the structure of your transformed data.
By following these steps, you can successfully move data from AWS CloudTrail to a ClickHouse warehouse without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.
AWS CloudTrail is a web service developed to simplify and provide assistance with AWS accounts. Enabling compliance, governance, and operational and risk auditing, it allows users to monitor, log, and document AWS account-related activity in an easily searchable format. With its comprehensive account event history function, CloudTrail helps users analyze and troubleshoot security and operational issues, detect unusual account activity, and much more by increasing visibility into customers’ user and resource activity.
AWS CloudTrail provides access to a wide range of data related to AWS account activity and resource usage. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through the API:
1. Event history: This includes information about all the events that have occurred in an AWS account, such as API calls, console sign-ins, and resource changes.
2. Resource activity: This category includes data related to the usage of AWS resources, such as EC2 instances, S3 buckets, and RDS databases.
3. User activity: This category includes data related to user activity in an AWS account, such as user sign-ins, password changes, and access key usage.
4. Security analysis: This category includes data related to security events in an AWS account, such as failed login attempts, unauthorized access attempts, and changes to security groups.
5. Compliance auditing: This category includes data related to compliance auditing in an AWS account, such as changes to IAM policies, CloudTrail configuration changes, and VPC network changes.
Overall, the AWS CloudTrail API provides a comprehensive view of AWS account activity and resource usage, making it a valuable tool for monitoring and managing AWS environments.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
