Python client and SDK for Falco

Usage

Output subscribe

import falco
client = falco.Client(endpoint="localhost:5060", client_crt="/tmp/client.crt", client_key="/tmp/client.key", ca_root="/tmp/ca.crt")
for event in client.sub()):
    print(event)

or try it directly (make sure you have the client certificates in /tmp or use the unix socket address), for example:

python -m examples.tls_sub_events -o json
python -m examples.unixsocket_get_events -o json
python -m examples.unixsocket_get_version

Output format

Currently there are two output formats available: JSON and Python classes. To change output format, pass the output_format parameter to the Client object.
