Authentication

The exporter supports three types of authentication:

JSON: Use credentials JSON provided by GCP. Paste the service account key directly into the configuration.
File: Specify the path to the credentials JSON file on the filesystem.

Mounting Credentials File

To mount the credentials JSON file, configure the collector using Helm. Configure this via the remote operator values YAML using the following values:

managedChartsValues:
  sawmills-collector:
    extraEnv:
      - name: GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
        value: /creds/credentials.json
    additionalVolumeMounts:
      - name: credentials
        mountPath: /creds
        readOnly: true
    additionalVolumes:
      - name: credentials
        secret:
          secretName: credentials
          items:
            - key: credentials.json
              path: credentials.json
