With the GoDaddy provider, users can leverage StackQL to interact with their GoDaddy resources directly through SQL queries. The addition of godaddy to the StackQL provider catalog further enabled a unified SQL-based experience for cloud services management.

Key Features​

  • Domain Management: List, update, and monitor domains registered with GoDaddy domains, including registration, renewal, and transfer.
  • DNS Configuration: Manage DNS settings for your domains using SQL commands, including querying and updating DNS records.
  • Security Certificates: Query and manage SSL certificates.
  • Order Management: Report on orders related to GoDaddy services.

Getting Started​

To begin using the GoDaddy provider, with stackql installed (see here), create a GoDaddy API token, populate an environment variable named GODADDY_API_KEY with this value, using stackql exec or stackql shell pull the latest provider for GoDaddy using:

REGISTRY PULL godaddy;

start querying!

Example Queries​

Here are some sample queries to get you started with the godaddy provider.

List Domains​

Heres a simple extract of domains with status, expiry date, privacy, and auto-renewal status:

SELECT 
 domain, 
 status, 
 expires, 
 privacy, 
 renewAuto 
FROM godaddy.domains.domains;

Domain Summary by Status​

Heres a quick summary by status:

SELECT status, count(*) as num_domains 
FROM godaddy.domains.domains
GROUP BY status;

Listing Nameservers for a Domain​

Heres a query expanding nameservers for a given domains:

SELECT 
 domain, 
 ns.value as nameserver 
FROM godaddy.domains.domains, json_each(nameServers) as ns
WHERE domain = 'chessenthusiastclubvictoria.org.au';

Get DNS Records for a Domain​

Heres an example query to get the CNAME records for a domain, you could use this to get any other type of DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, etc.):

select data, name, ttl, type  from godaddy.domains.records
where domain = 'zetadata.com.au' and type = 'CNAME';

You can visit the GoDaddy StackQL provider docs for a detailed view of all the features and services.

stackql is a dev tool that allows you to query and manage cloud and SaaS resources using SQL, which developers and analysts can use for CSPM, assurance, user access management reporting, IaC, XOps and more.

The StackQL provider for Vercel is now available! Developers can directly query, analyze, and report on builds, deployments, projects, domains, log_drains, and more. The StackQL Vercel provider can also be used to retrieve logs, manage certificates, replicate your deployment environment locally, manage Domain Name System (DNS) records, and more ... using SQL.

More information about the Vercel provider for StackQL is available here. Here are some sample queries to get you started: 

SELECT id, 
name, 
accountId, 
framework,
JSON_EXTRACT(targets, '$.production.meta.githubCommitOrg') as github_org,
JSON_EXTRACT(targets, '$.production.meta.githubCommitRepo') as github_repo,
JSON_EXTRACT(targets, '$.production.meta.githubCommitRef') as github_branch
FROM
vercel.projects.projects
WHERE teamId = 'gammadata';

Quick Start Guide​

Set Up StackQL Server​

To get started, you can run a StackQL server container on port 7432. Use the following project for easy setup: StackQL Server on GitHub.

Create an ODBC Connection​

Next, set up an ODBC connection using the PostgreSQL ODBC driver. You can download the latest driver from the PostgreSQL ODBC Driver Versions. Install this driver on your local machine to proceed.

Integrating with PowerBI​

Once your ODBC connection is ready, you can move on to PowerBI. Here’s how you can integrate StackQL queries into PowerBI:

  1. Create Data Sources in PowerBI: For each StackQL query that you want to visualize, create a new data source in PowerBI.

  2. Test Queries Locally: Before integrating with PowerBI, you can test your StackQL queries locally using psql. For example:

    $ psql -h localhost -p 7432 -U stackql -d stackql
    psql (14.9 (Ubuntu 14.9-0ubuntu0.22.04.1), server 0.0.0)
    Type "help" for help.

    stackql=> select name, stargazers FROM
    (select name, stargazers_count as stargazers
    from github.repos.repos 
    where org = 'stackql' 
    and visibility = 'public'
    order by stargazers_count desc) t
    limit 3;
                   name                | stargazers 
    -----------------------------------+------------
     stackql                           | 179
     stackql-provider-registry         | 21
     google-discovery-to-openapi       | 18
    (3 rows)

  3. Visualize with PowerBI: With your named data sources created, you can now visualize the result sets in PowerBI. Use various visualization tools like bar charts, pie charts, and line charts to create rich and insightful dashboards.

stackql is a dev tool that allows you to query, manage, and perform analytics against cloud and SaaS resources in real time using SQL, which developers and analysts can use for CSPM, assurance, user access management reporting, IaC, XOps and more.

The googleadmin StackQL provider is now available, which allows you to query, provision, or manage Google Workspace users, groups, devices, and more using StackQL. The googleadmin provider can be used with the google provider or other cloud providers to generate entitlements reports (or user access reviews) where Google Workspace identites are used in identity federation or IAM bindings.

The full documentation on how to use a Google service account for authentication to the googleadmin provider is available here. Information about the directory resources available and their fields and methods, is available in the StackQL Provider Registry Docs.

Simple Query​

A simple query using the googleadmin provider is shown here:

SELECT
 primaryEmail, 
 lastLoginTime 
FROM 
 googleadmin.directory.users 
WHERE domain = 'stackql.io'
AND primaryEmail = 'javen@stackql.io';

which would return the following results... 

|------------------|--------------------------|                                                                                                                                                   
|   primaryEmail   |      lastLoginTime       |                                                                                                                                                   
|------------------|--------------------------|

Example Query Using Built-In Functions​

Here is an example using built-in functions in StackQL (more information about built-in functions is available in the StackQL docs): 

SELECT
 primaryEmail,
 json_extract(name, '$.fullName') as full_name, 
 lastLoginTime 
FROM 
 googleadmin.directory.users 
WHERE domain = 'stackql.io'
AND primaryEmail = 'javen@stackql.io';

which would return results like this... 

|------------------|--------------|--------------------------|                                                                                                                                    
|   primaryEmail   |  full_name   |      lastLoginTime       |

Example Query Using Aggregate Functions​

Here is an example of a summary query that could be useful:

SELECT
  isAdmin,
  COUNT(*) as num_admins
FROM 
 googleadmin.directory.users 
WHERE domain = 'stackql.io'
GROUP BY isAdmin

results in... 

|---------|------------|                                                                                                                                                                          
| isAdmin | num_admins |

Entitlements Report Using a LEFT JOIN with the google provider​

Using the LEFT OUTER JOIN capability with StackQL, you can generate entitlements or user access management reports that span across Google Workspace as an Identity Provider (IdP) and a Google Cloud resource (including Organizations, Folders, Projects, and resources), such as: 

SELECT 
  split_part(json_extract(iam.members,'$[0]'), ':', 2) as member, 
  iam.role as role,
  users.lastLoginTime
FROM google.cloudresourcemanager.organizations_iam_bindings iam
LEFT OUTER JOIN googleadmin.directory.users users
ON split_part(json_extract(iam.members,'$[0]'), ':', 2) = users.primaryEmail
WHERE users.domain = 'stackql.io' 
AND iam.organizationsId = 141318256085
AND users.primaryEmail = 'javen@stackql.io';

which would return...

stackql is a dev tool that allows you to query, manage, and perform analytics against cloud and SaaS resources in real time using SQL, which developers and analysts can use for CSPM, assurance, user access management reporting, IaC, XOps and more.

We are pleased to announce the addition of support for OUTER JOIN operations in StackQL queries. This is a significant addition to the language, and we are excited to see what our users will do with it!

info

An OUTER JOIN is a type of JOIN operation that returns all records from one table (or StackQL resource) and only those records from a second table or resource where the joined fields are equal (i.e. the JOIN condition is met). If there is no match, the missing side of the JOIN is filled with NULL values.

OUTER JOIN operations are important because they allow you to combine data from two or more resources (within a StackQL provider or across StackQL providers), even when there is no match between the two resources. This is a common scenario when performing analytics and reporting on user access management (for example between an IdP (like Okta) and a resource provider like AWS or Google).

Using OUTER JOIN operations in StackQL​

If you wanted to find all users in your AWS account that have not logged in to their account in the last 20 days, and compare that to the same information for users in your Google Workspace account, you could use an OUTER JOIN operation to do this. The following query:

select 
   aws_users.UserName as aws_user_name
  ,aws_users.PasswordLastUsed as aws_last_Login_time
  ,CASE 
    WHEN aws_users.PasswordLastUsed = '' then 'false' 
    WHEN ( strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%SZ', aws_users.PasswordLastUsed) > ( datetime('now', '-20 days' ) ) ) then 'true' 
    else 'false' end as aws_is_active
  ,json_extract(google_users.name, '$.fullName') as google_user_name
  ,google_users.lastLoginTime as google_last_Login_time 
  ,CASE 
    WHEN google_users.lastLoginTime is null then 'false' 
    WHEN google_users.lastLoginTime = '' then 'false' 
    WHEN ( strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%SZ', google_users.lastLoginTime) > ( datetime('now', '-20 days' ) ) ) then 'true' 
    else 'false' end as google_is_active
from 
  aws.iam.users aws_users 
  LEFT OUTER JOIN 
  googleadmin.directory.users google_users 
  ON lower(substr(aws_users.UserName, 1, 5)) = lower(substr(json_extract(google_users.name, '$.fullName'), 1, 5)) 
WHERE aws_users.region = 'us-east-1' AND google_users.domain = 'stackql.io'
;

would produce a result like this:

|------------------------|----------------------|---------------|------------------|--------------------------|------------------|
|     aws_user_name      | aws_last_Login_time  | aws_is_active | google_user_name |  google_last_Login_time  | google_is_active |

|------------------------|----------------------|---------------|------------------|--------------------------|------------------|

Currently only LEFT OUTER JOIN sppport is available, but we will be adding support for RIGHT OUTER JOIN and FULL OUTER JOIN in the near future. Stay tuned!
