synthetics-private-location - How to pass in configFile

[jseiser]

Describe what happened:

Generated the configuration from the DD website. Attempted to pass the config in directly using

configFile: "{}"

I pasted it exactly as it was presented, I then swapped the " to ', and then I totally removed the ". All of them results in some form of..

Hi, you can set the file in the Values.yaml with " and \ escaped (eg. using sed -E 's/([\\"])/\\\1/g'), like:

configFile: "{
  \"locationID\": \"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\",
  \"site\": \"datadoghq.com\",
  \"datadogApiKey\": \"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\",
  \"accessKey\": \"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\",
  \"secretAccessKey\": \"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\",
  \"privateKey\": \"-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\\nMII(...)\\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\",
  \"publicKey\": {
    \"pem\": \"-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\\nMII(...)==\\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\\n\",
    \"fingerprint\": \"sha256$base64$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=\"
  }
}"

Or directly using the pipe syntax which does not need any reformating, ie:

configFile: |
  {
    "locationID": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "site": "datadoghq.com",
    "datadogApiKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "accessKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "secretAccessKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "privateKey": "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nMII(...)\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----",
    "publicKey": {
      "pem": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMII(...)==\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n",
      "fingerprint": "sha256$base64$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    }
  }
