Get started

Install Go and Go tools

1. Install Go 1.11 or later from the Getting Started page on the Go Programmming Language website.

2. Install recommended tools for Go by running the following commands:

   $ go get golang.org/x/lint/golint
   $ go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports
   

Initialize your project

Initialize your project using Go modules for dependency support. Your project can be located outside of the $GOPATH/src directory. For more about modules, see Go 1.11 Modules on the GitHub website.

1. If your project is within your $GOPATH, set GO111MODULE=on in your environment variables.

2. Initialize your project by running the following commands, but replace the <github.com/example/myproject> path with your Git host, organization, user name, and project name as appropriate:

   $ mkdir myproject && cd myproject
   $ go mod init <github.com/example/myproject>
   

3. Create a main.go file within your project directory containing the following code:

   package main
   
   import (
       "fmt"
       "os"
   
       "github.com/splunk/splunk-cloud-sdk-go/sdk"
       "github.com/splunk/splunk-cloud-sdk-go/services"
       "github.com/splunk/splunk-cloud-sdk-go/services/identity"
   )
   
   func main() {
       checkForTenantToken()
       // Initialize the client
       client, err := sdk.NewClient(&services.Config{
           Token:  os.Getenv("BEARER_TOKEN"),
           Tenant: os.Getenv("TENANT"),
       })
       exitOnErr(err)
       // Validate access to Splunk Cloud Services and tenant
       query := identity.ValidateTokenQueryParams{Include: []string{"principal", "tenant"}}
       info, err := client.IdentityService.ValidateToken(&query)
       exitOnErr(err)
       fmt.Println("name: " + info.Name)
       fmt.Println("principal name: " + info.Principal.Name)
       fmt.Println("tenant name: " + info.Tenant.Name)
   }
   
   func exitOnErr(err error) {
       if err != nil {
           fmt.Println(err)
           os.Exit(1)
       }
   }
   
   func checkForTenantToken() {
       if os.Getenv("BEARER_TOKEN") == "" {
           exitOnErr(fmt.Errorf("$BEARER_TOKEN must be set"))
       }
       if os.Getenv("TENANT") == "" {
           exitOnErr(fmt.Errorf("$TENANT must be set"))
       }
   }
   

4. Set your access token and tenant.

   • Retrieve your access token from the Splunk Developer Portal.

   • List your tenants using the following REST command, replacing <accessToken> with your access token:

     curl -X GET "https://api.scp.splunk.com/system/identity/v2beta1/tenants" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <accessToken>"
     

   • Run the following command, replacing <accessToken> and <tenant> with your values:

     $ export BEARER_TOKEN=<accessToken>
     $ export TENANT=<tenant>
     

5. Build and run your project by running the following commands, where <project> is the name of your project, and <me@example.com> is your user name:

   $ go build
   $ ./<project>
   name: <me@example.com>
   principal name: <me@example.com>
   tenant name: <mytenant>
