Managing Parameters
CloudTruth Parameters exist across all of your Environments in an organization and can be made up of a combinations of static and dynamic values. Parameters can also be marked as Secret which will hide the Parameters value by default.
Parameter Type | |
Static | User defined value per Environment |
Dynamic | Value obtained from a CloudTruth integration |
Secret | Masked Parameter Values |
From the Parameter Store page click Add Item to create a new parameter.

Click Create Parameter.
The Parameter is created in the default Environment and you can enter a Static, Dynamic or empty value as the Parameter default. Add a Static value and Click Save.
Parameters are present in all of the Environments in an organization 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.

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.
The Add 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 and displays the value as having 1 override. the remaining Environments retain the default value.
