import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac
import getpass
#Account Info: LogicMonitor recommends to NEVER hardcode the credentials. Instead, retrieve the values from a secure storage.

AccessId = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessId: ")
AccessKey = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessKey: ")
Company = 'apiAccount'
#Request Info
httpVerb ='DELETE'
resourcePath = '/setting/alert/rules/74'
queryParams =''
data = ''
#Construct URL
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath +queryParams
#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))
#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath
#Construct signature
digest = hmac.new(
AccessKey.encode('utf-8'),
msg=requestVars.encode('utf-8'),
digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
signature = base64.b64encode(digest.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8')
# Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + str(signature) + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth,'X-Version':3}
# Make request
response = requests.delete(url, data=data, headers=headers)
# Print status and body of response
print('Response Status:',response.status_code)
