Overview #

Gremlin Destination Plugin

This destination plugin lets you sync data from any CloudQuery source to a Gremlin compatible graph database such as AWS Neptune.
Supported database (tested) versions (We use the official Go driver):
  • Gremlin Server >= 3.6.2
  • AWS Neptune >= 1.2
As a side note graph databases can be quite useful for various networking use-cases, visualization, for read-teams, blue-teams and more.

Configuration #

Example #

This example configures a Gremlin destination, located at ws://localhost:8182. The username and password are stored in environment variables.
kind: destination
spec:
  name: "gremlin"
  path: "cloudquery/gremlin"
  registry: "cloudquery"
  version: "v2.5.19"
  spec:
    endpoint: "ws://localhost:8182"
    # Optional parameters
    # auth_mode: none
    # username: ""
    # password: ""
    # aws_region: ""
    # aws_neptune_host: ""
    # max_retries: 5
    # max_concurrent_connections: 5 # default: number of CPUs
    # batch_size: 200
    # batch_size_bytes: 4194304 # 4 MiB
The (top level) spec section is described in the Destination Spec Reference.
The Gremlin destination utilizes batching, and supports batch_size and batch_size_bytes.

Connecting to AWS Neptune #

For AWS Neptune, you don't need to specify any credentials if IAM authentication is not enabled. Keep auth_mode at none.
If IAM authentication is enabled, you need to set auth_mode to aws and aws_region to the region of the database. The plugin will use the default AWS credentials chain to authenticate.

Plugin Spec #

This is the (nested) spec used by the Gremlin destination Plugin.
  • endpoint (string) (required)
    Endpoint for the database. Supported schemes are wss:// and ws://, the default port is 8182.
    • "localhost" (defaults to wss://localhost:8182)
    • "ws://localhost:8182"
    • "wss://your-endpoint.cluster-id.your-region.neptune.amazonaws.com"
  • insecure (boolean) (optional)
    Whether to skip TLS verification. Defaults to false. This should be set on a macOS environment when connecting to an AWS Neptune endpoint.
  • auth_mode (string) (optional) (default: none)
    Authentication mode to use. basic uses static credentials, aws uses AWS IAM authentication. Supported values are none, basic or aws.
  • username (string) (optional)
    Username to connect to the database.
  • password (string) (optional)
    Password to connect to the database.
  • aws_region (string) (required when auth_mode is aws)
    AWS region to use for AWS IAM authentication. Example: us-east-1.
  • aws_neptune_host (string) (optional, used when auth_mode is aws)
    AWS Neptune host header to use with AWS IAM authentication. Use if you're not accessing Neptune directly, when auth_mode is aws. Example: my-neptune.cluster.us-east-1.neptune.amazonaws.com
  • max_retries (integer) (optional) (default: 5)
    Number of retries on ConcurrentModificationException before giving up for each batch. Retries are exponentially backed off.
  • max_concurrent_connections (integer) (optional) (default: number of CPUs)
    Maximum number of concurrent connections to the database.
  • complete_types (boolean) (optional) (default: false)
    Whether to use all Gremlin-supported types or just a basic set. Should remain false for Amazon Neptune compatibility.
  • batch_size (integer) (optional) (default: 200)
    Number of records to batch together before sending to the database.
  • batch_size_bytes (integer) (optional) (default: 4194304 (4 MiB))
    Number of bytes (as Arrow buffer size) to batch together before sending to the database.

Notes #

* Timestamps are converted to strings in the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSS (UTC timezone) (e.g. 2021-01-01 00:00:00.000000000). _cq_sync_time column is persisted in native Timestamp type.
† List types are persisted as-is only if complete_types option is enabled. Otherwise, they are converted to strings.
NUL bytes are stripped from strings.
