Managing Parameters
CloudTruth Parameters exist across all of your Environments in a project and can be made up of a combination of internal and external values. Parameters can also be marked as Secret which will mask the Parameters value and store it in your organizations dedicated managed vault. Parameters are always scoped to the selected project.
Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
User defined value per Environment | |
Masked Parameter Values protected by Vault |
In addition you can apply validation to your parameter values by bounding the value to a specific type and set custom rules that apply across all environments. You can also mark the Parameter as Dynamic which allows you to reference other parameters and templates in the value.
From the Parameter Store page click
Add Item to create a new parameter.Enter a Parameter name, you can select whether the parameter is a secret and provide a description. Expand the Rules to add an optional type and constraints for the parameter.
Click
Create Parameter.%20(1)%20(1).png?alt=media)
The Parameter is created in the default Environment and you can enter an Internal, External or empty value as the Parameter default. Add an Internal value and Click
Save.%20(1).png?alt=media)
Mark the parameter as a secret to store it in your organizations dedicated vault. Values for Parameters created with the 'secret' option will not be displayed by default wherever the secret is referenced.
%20(1)%20(1)%20(1).png?alt=media)
Using this option prevents the unnecessary display of sensitive data when performing routine configuration tasks.

We provide the ability to automatically generate secure random passwords for you and allow you to specify your minimum requirements. Select the
Show Password Generator dropdown.%20(1).png?alt=media)
Marking a Parameter value as Dynamic allows you to reference and interpolate other values and templates from the project.
This parameter
evaluated_demo contains a value with text evaluated_memory_size: that includes the value from a referenced project parameter {{service.app.memory}}..png?alt=media)
Clicking
Show Evaluated displays the evaluated value for the referenced parameter..png?alt=media)
Dynamic values cannot be secrets, meaning they cannot be stored in your organization's vault, but they CAN reference secrets. If you have secret information you'd like to use in a dynamic value, store it in a secret Parameter and reference it in your dynamic value.
Parameters are present in all of the Environments in a project and by default are set to the value from the parent Environment. You can set a unique Parameter value for each Environment by overriding the value.
Click on a Parameter from the Parameter Store list.
%20(1)%20(1)%20(1)%20(1).png?alt=media)
The Parameter details page is displayed. In this example we have three Environments (Production, Dev and Staging) under the default parent.
Select the Environment where you would like to override the value and click
Edit Value.%20(1).png?alt=media)
The Edit Environment Value page is displayed, set the Parameter value for the selected Environment and click Save.

Now the Parameter details page shows the updated value for the selected Environment. The remaining Environments retain the default value.
%20(1)%20(1).png?alt=media)
Parameters can also be edited from the Parameters, Compare and History pages. On each page the 
will allow you to directly edit the value for a specific environment or remove an override. The Compare page will allow you to edit values for each environment selected in the compare.

As your Parameter list grows you can use the search to find all parameters with a specific string within your project.
%20(1)%20(1).png?alt=media)
From the Parameter Store page you can list all Parameter values for a specific Environment by selecting the Environment in the drop down box. Values that have overrides for the selected Environment are indicated in the
Value Source.%20(1)%20(1).png?alt=media)
Select the Parameter you want to edit from the Parameter Store page and click
Edit Parameter Settings from the Parameter menu.%20(2).png?alt=media)
The Edit Parameter dialogue allows you to update the description, change whether the parameter is a secret and update or set rules.
%20(1).png?alt=media)
Select the Parameter you want to edit from the Parameter Store page and click
Delete Parameter from the Parameter menu.%20(1)%20(1).png?alt=media)
The Parameter settings page will display the number of Templates a given Parameter is referenced in. You can navigate to each Template from the
Template List tab. Parameters that are referenced in a template are protected from deletion.%20(1)%20(1)%20(1).png?alt=media)
