Access Live Claude Compliance Data in AWS Lambda

AWS Lambda is a compute service that lets you build applications that respond quickly to new information and events. AWS Lambda functions can work with live Claude Compliance data when paired with the CData JDBC Driver for Claude Compliance. This article describes how to connect to and query Claude Compliance data from an AWS Lambda function built in Eclipse.

At the time this article was written (June 2022), Eclipse version 2019-12 and Java 8 were the highest versions supported by the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse.

With built-in optimized data processing, the CData JDBC Driver offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Claude Compliance data. When you issue complex SQL queries to Claude Compliance, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Claude Compliance and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations client-side (often SQL functions and JOIN operations). In addition, its built-in dynamic metadata querying allows you to work with and analyze Claude Compliance data using native data types.

Gather Connection Properties and Build a Connection String

The driver connects to Claude Compliance using a Compliance Access Key, the only supported authentication method. Set the following connection property:

• APIKey: The Compliance Access Key you created.

Creating a Compliance Access Key

1. Enable the Compliance API for your organization.
2. Sign in to claude.ai as a primary owner or organization owner and open Organization settings > API > Keys.
3. Select Create Key and assign only the scopes your integration needs:
   • read:compliance_activities for Activities and the typed activity views.
   • read:compliance_org_data for organizations, roles, groups, and settings.
   • read:compliance_user_data for users, chats, files, projects, and downloads.
   • delete:compliance_user_data for the explicit Delete stored procedures.
4. Create the key and copy it when it appears. The key starts with sk-ant-api01- and is shown only once.

Optionally, set OrganizationUUID to limit organization-scoped views (such as OrganizationUsers and ComplianceRoles) to a single linked organization. If it is left empty, those views default to the first available organization and do not include data from all linked organizations.

NOTE: To use the JDBC driver in an AWS Lambda function, you will need a license (full or trial) and a Runtime Key (RTK). For more information on obtaining this license (or a trial), contact our sales team.

Built-in Connection String Designer

For assistance constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Claude Compliance JDBC Driver. Double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command line.

java -jar cdata.jdbc.claudecompliance.jar

Fill in the connection properties (including the RTK) and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

Create an AWS Lambda Function

1. Download the CData JDBC Driver for Claude Compliance installer, unzip the package, and run the JAR file to install the driver.

2. Create a new AWS Lambda Java Project in Eclipse using the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse. You can follow the tutorial from AWS (amazon.com).

   For this article, set the Input Type for the project to "Custom" so we can enter a table name as the input.

   
3. Add the CData JDBC Driver for Claude Compliance JAR file (cdata.jdbc.claudecompliance.jar) to the build path. The file is found in INSTALL_PATH\lib\.
4. Add the following import statements to the Java class:

   
   import java.sql.Connection;
   import java.sql.DriverManager;
   import java.sql.ResultSet;
   import java.sql.ResultSetMetaData;
   import java.sql.SQLException;
   import java.sql.Statement;
   

5. Replace the body of the handleRequest method with the code below. Be sure to fill in the connection string in the DriverManager.getConnection method call.

   
   String query = "SELECT * FROM " + input;
   
   try {
   	Class.forName("cdata.jdbc.claudecompliance.ClaudeComplianceDriver");
   } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
   	context.getLogger().log("Error: class not found");
   }
   
   Connection connection = null;
    
   try {
   	connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:cdata:claudecompliance:RTK=52465...;APIKey=your_compliance_access_key;");
   } catch (SQLException ex) {
   	context.getLogger().log("Error getting connection: " + ex.getMessage());
   } catch (Exception ex) {
   	context.getLogger().log("Error: " + ex.getMessage());
   }
    
   if(connection != null)
   {
   	context.getLogger().log("Connected Successfully!\n");
   }
    
   ResultSet resultSet = null;
   try
   {
   	//executing query
   	Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
   	resultSet = stmt.executeQuery(query);
   
   	ResultSetMetaData metaData = resultSet.getMetaData();
   	int numCols = metaData.getColumnCount();
   
   	//printing the results
   	while(resultSet.next())
   	{
   		for(int i = 1; i <= numCols; i++)
   		{
   			System.out.printf("%-25s", (resultSet.getObject(i) != null) ? resultSet.getObject(i).toString().replaceAll("\n", "") : null );
   		}
   		System.out.print("\n");
   	}
   }
   catch (SQLException ex)
   {
   	System.out.println("SQL Exception: " + ex.getMessage());
   }
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
   	System.out.println("General exception: " + ex.getMessage());
   }
    
   String output = "query: " + query + " complete";
   return output;
   

Deploy and Run the Lambda Function

Once you build the function in Eclipse, you are ready to upload and run the function. In this article, the output is written to the AWS logs, but you can use this is a template to implement you own custom business logic to work with Claude Compliance data in AWS Lambda functions.

1. Right-click the Package and select Amazon Web Services -> Upload function to AWS Lamba.
2. Name the function, select an IAM role, and set the timeout value to a high enough value to ensure the function completes (depending on the result size of your query).
3. Right-click the Package and select Amazon Web Services -> Run function on AWS Lambda and set the input to the name of the Claude Compliance object you wish to query (i.e. "Projects").
4. After the job runs, you can view the output in the CloudWatch logs.
