FireHydrant plugin

Plugin details
Created by	FireHydrant
Category	Incident management
Source	GitHub
Type	Open-source plugin

Configuration

Application configuration YAML

No action required

This plugin requires a backend proxy configuration to make calls to FireHydrant with authentication. The following configuration is set by default and you do not need to change anything:

proxy:
  "/firehydrant/api":
    target: "https://api.firehydrant.io/v1/"
    pathRewrite:
      "api/proxy/firehydrant/api/?": "/"
    changeOrigin: true
    headers:
      Authorization: Bearer ${FIREHYDRANT_TOKEN}

Secrets

Since the FIREHYDRANT_TOKEN variable is used in the application configuration, you must generate a FireHydrant API token and set it as the value of FIREHYDRANT_TOKEN. You can do this in your FireHydrant app.

Delegate proxy

No action required

This plugin does not require a delegate proxy to be set up because FireHydrant is publicly accessible.

Layout

This plugin exports a UI card that you can show on the Overview tab of a service or on any other layout page. Go to Admin > Layout, choose Service in the dropdown menu, and then add the following YAML code in the Overview section:

- component: FirehydrantCard

Annotations

To further configure the plugin for a service in the software catalog, set the following annotation in its catalog-info.yaml definition file:

metadata:
  annotations:
    firehydrant.com/service-name: <firehydrant-service-name>
