Get the project
Here you learn how to copy the template project.
Once you have the project running in your Quix account, you can modify the project as required, and save your changes to your copy of the project.
Clone the project
See the clone a project documentation for further information on how to do this.
Add secrets
You'll need to configure the following credentials for each Quix service that needs them:
| Environment Variable (secret) | Service(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|
INFLUXDB_DATABASE |
InfluxDB raw data, InfluxDB alerts | Database name in InfluxDB where data should be stored. |
INFLUXDB_HOST |
InfluxDB raw data, InfluxDB alerts | Host address for the InfluxDB instance. Default: eu-central-1-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com. |
INFLUXDB_ORG |
InfluxDB raw data, InfluxDB alerts | Organization name in InfluxDB. |
INFLUXDB_TOKEN |
InfluxDB raw data, InfluxDB alerts | Authentication token to access InfluxDB. |
INFLUXDB_MEASUREMENT_NAME |
The InfluxDB measurement to read data from. If not specified, the name of the output topic will be used. | |
TIMESTAMP_COLUMN |
This is the field in your data that represents the timestamp in nanoseconds. If you leave this blank, the message timestamp received from the broker is used. Case sensitive. Optional. | |
CONSUMER_GROUP_NAME |
The name of the consumer group to use when consuming from Kafka. |
The above is a list of environment variables that you are going to configure.
For INFLUXDB_TOKEN, you need to create a secret to assign to the corresponding environment variables.
To create the secret:
-
Click on Settings in the botton left-hand corner of the Quix UI.
-
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on
Secrets management. -
In the
Secrets managementdialog, click+ New secretand use this to create theINFLUXDB_TOKENsecret, and assign it to theINFLUXDB_TOKENvariable.
These secrets are then assigned to their corresponding environment variables.
Note
You will need to restart services (if they are running) where you have just added a secret.
