This repo contains the installer and quickstart setup for the DataKitchen Open Source Data Observability product suite (released April 2024).

* [**DataOps TestGen**](https://docs.datakitchen.io/articles/dataops-testgen-help/dataops-testgen-help) is a data quality verification tool that does five main tasks: (1) data profiling, (2) new dataset screening and hygiene review, (3) algorithmic generation of data quality validation tests, (4) ongoing production testing of new data refreshes and (5) continuous periodic monitoring of datasets for anomalies [(GitHub)](https://github.com/DataKitchen/dataops-testgen).

* [**DataOps Observability**](https://docs.datakitchen.io/articles/dataops-observability-help/dataops-observability-help) monitors every tool used in the journey of data from data source to customer value, from any team development environment into production, across every tool, team, data set, environment, and project so that problems are detected, localized, and understood immediately [(GitHub)](https://github.com/DataKitchen/dataops-observability).

### Download the installer



On Unix-based operating systems, use the following command to download it to the current directory. We recommend creating a new, empty directory.



```shell

curl -o dk-installer.py 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DataKitchen/data-observability-installer/main/dk-installer.py'

```



* Alternatively, you can manually download the [`dk-installer.py`](https://github.com/DataKitchen/data-observability-installer/blob/main/dk-installer.py) file from this repo.

* All commands listed below should be run from the folder containing this file.

* For usage help and command options, run `python3 dk-installer.py --help` or `python3 dk-installer.py  --help`.



## Quickstart Guide



The [Data Observability quickstart](https://docs.datakitchen.io/articles/open-source-data-observability/data-observability-overview) walks you through Dataops Observability and TestGen capabilities to demonstrate how our products cover critical use cases for data and analytic teams.



Before going through the quickstart, complete the prequisites above and then the following steps to install the two products and setup the demo data. For any of the commands, you can view additional options by appending `--help` at the end.



### Install the TestGen application



The installation downloads the latest Docker images for TestGen and deploys a new Docker Compose application. The process may take 5~10 minutes depending on your machine and network connection. 



```shell

python3 dk-installer.py tg install

```

Once it completes, verify that you can login to the UI with the URL and credentials provided in the output.



### Install the Observability application



The installation downloads the latest Helm charts and Docker images for Observability and deploys the application on a new minikube cluster. The process may take 5~30 minutes depending on your machine and network connection. 

```shell

python3 dk-installer.py obs install

```

#### Bind HTTP ports to host machine



This step is required to access the application when using Docker driver on Mac or Windows. It may also be useful for installations on remote machines to access the UI from a local browser.



Leave this process running, and continue the next steps on another terminal window.



```shell

python3 dk-installer.py obs expose

```

Verify that you can login to the UI with the URL and credentials provided in the output.



### Run the TestGen demo setup



The `demo-config.json` file generated by the Observability installation must be present in the folder.



```shell

python3 dk-installer.py tg run-demo --export

```

In the TestGen UI, you will see that new data profiling and test results have been generated. Additionally, in the Observavility UI, you will see that new test outcome events have been received.



### Run the Observability demo setup



The `demo-config.json` file generated by the Observability installation must be present in the folder.



```shell

python3 dk-installer.py obs run-demo

```

In the Observability UI, you will see that new journeys and events have been generated.



### Run the Agent Heartbeat demo setup



The `demo-config.json` file generated by the Observability installation must be present in the folder.



```shell

python3 dk-installer.py obs run-heartbeat-demo

```

In the Observability UI, you will see that new agents have been generated on the Integrations page.



Leave this process running, and continue with the [quickstart guide](https://docs.datakitchen.io/articles/open-source-data-observability/data-observability-overview) to tour the applications.

[DataOps Observability](https://docs.datakitchen.io/articles/dataops-observability-help/dataops-observability-help)



## Useful Commands



### DataOps TestGen



The [docker compose CLI](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/) can be used to operate the installed TestGen application. All commands must be run in the same folder that contains the `docker-compose.yaml` file generated by the installation.



Access the _testgen_ CLI: `docker compose exec engine bash` (use `exit` to return to the regular terminal)



Stop the app: `docker compose down`



Restart the app: `docker compose up`



### DataOps Observability



The [minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/commands/) and [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/) command line tools can be used to operate the Observability application.



Inspect the pods: `kubectl get pods`



Get pod logs: `kubectl logs `



Stop the app: `minikube stop`



Restart the app: `minikube start`



## Remove Demo Data 



After completing the quickstart, you can remove the demo data from the applications with the following steps.



### Stop the Agent Heartbeat demo



Stop the process that is running the Agent Heartbeat demo using `Ctrl + C`.



*Note*: Currently, the agents generated by the heartbeat demo are not cleaned up.



### Remove TestGen & Observability demo data



The `demo-config.json` file generated by the Observability installation must be present in the folder.



```shell

python3 dk-installer.py tg delete-demo

python3 dk-installer.py obs delete-demo

```



## Uninstall Applications



### Uninstall TestGen

```shell

python3 dk-installer.py tg delete

```



### Uninstall Observability

```shell

python3 dk-installer.py obs delete

```
