Getting started
Complete the following steps to get started with the Chronosphere Pulumi provider.
Install
To use the Chronosphere Pulumi provider, install the Pulumi provider for your preferred language.
Configure
After installing the Chronosphere Pulumi provider, configure environment variables to authenticate with Observability Platform and manage resources in your tenant.
API token
Pulumi performs tasks that require administrative privileges, and requires an API token with administrative privileges to authenticate. Use either an unrestricted service account, or a user or service account that belongs to a team with the SysAdmin role.
To authenticate as a service account, use the API token generated and provided upon account creation. For details, see service accounts. To authenticate as an administrative user account, use a personal access token.
If you don't provide a token as an argument, Pulumi then looks for it in the
environment variable CHRONOSPHERE_API_TOKEN, which you can set by running the
following command or adding it to your shell profile:
export CHRONOSPHERE_API_TOKEN=TOKENReplace TOKEN with the API token you generated to authenticate with Observability
Platform.
Organization name
Pulumi needs the name of your team's organization as the --org-name argument. If
you don't provide your organization's name as an argument, Pulumi looks for it in the
environment variable CHRONOSPHERE_ORG_NAME.
To set this variable, run the following command or add it to your shell profile:
export CHRONOSPHERE_ORG_NAME=NAMEReplace NAME with the subdomain name you use to access Chronosphere. For example,
if your team uses example.chronosphere.io, your team's organization name is
example.
