Flowlink Unmanaged Workload Maker

Flowlink is the Illumio Core PCE Flow Collector. The flow collector sends flows to the PCE and injects flows for workloads that are either managed or unmanaged on the PCE. This script automatically adds UMWL based on the home networks of the user following the flowlink log file and automatically creating workloads for IPs found in given networks.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• pip (Python package installer)

Installation

1. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd yourrepository
   

2. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Get API keys from PCE

Login to your PCE, create a service account or API key via user profile

4. Run program

Usage

The script requires several command-line arguments or environment variables:

• --pce_host or PCE_HOST: The host of the PCE.
• --pce_port or PCE_PORT: The port of the PCE.
• --org_id or ORG_ID: The organization ID.
• --api_user or PCE_API_USER: The API user.
• --api_key or PCE_API_KEY: The API key.
• --verbose: Enable verbose logging.
• --networks: A comma-separated list of networks. (default: RFC1918 networks)
• --simulate: Simulate workload creation without actually creating workloads.
• --notail: Simulate workload creation without actually creating workloads.

To run the script, use the following command:

python flowlink-umwl-maker.py --pce_host your_pce_host --api_user your_api_user --api_key your_api_key --networks your_networks

Replace your_pce_host, your_api_user, your_api_key, and your_networks with your actual PCE host, API user, API key, and networks respectively.
