Common stuff that I use in VCDB maintenance

vcdb.py

import json
import os
from datetime import datetime
import uuid

# i = getIncident('blahblahblah.json')
def getIncident(inString):
  return json.loads(open(inString).read())

# updateIncident(i, 'blahblahblah.json', True)
def updateIncident(i,inFilename,validated=False):
  i['plus']['modified'] = datetime.utcnow().strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
  if validated:
    i['plus']['analysis_status'] = "Validated"
  outfile = open(inFilename,'w')
  outfile.write(json.dumps(i,sort_keys=True, indent=2,separators=(',', ': ')))
  outfile.close()

# putIncident(i, 'blackfist')
def putIncident(i, analyst="blackfist"):
  i['plus']['analyst'] = analyst
  i['plus']['created'] = datetime.utcnow().strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
  identity = str(uuid.uuid4()).upper()
  i['incident_id'] = identity
  i['plus']['master_id'] = identity
  i['source'] = 'vcdb'
  outfile = open(identity + '.json','w')
  outfile.write(json.dumps(i,sort_keys=True, indent=2,separators=(',', ': ')))
  outfile.close()

# show(i['some.variable'])
def show(inDict):
  print json.dumps(inDict,sort_keys=True,indent=2)
