Scylla Monitor Image

Requirements

• Packer >= v1.10.0
• Packer AWS and GCP plugins

To install the required plugins, run the following:

packer plugins install github.com/hashicorp/googlecompute
packer plugins install github.com/hashicorp/amazon

Build

To build the Scylla Monitor Image, make sure you have Authentication set up, and run the following command from the siren-devops/cluster/monitor directory:

packer build -var monitor_version="4.6.1" scylla-monitor-template.json

You can build a specific cloud only by using the -only flag. for example:

# AWS only
packer build -only=amazon-ebs -var monitor_version="4.6.1" scylla-monitor-template.json

# GCP only
packer build -only=googlecompute -var monitor_version="4.6.1" scylla-monitor-template.json

Variables

The Scylla Monitor Image uses default variables that are declared in the packer template file, for example aws_source_ami, gcp_project_id etc.
You can override these default variables by creating a variables.json with the desired variable values, for example:

{
  "monitor_version": "4.6.1",
  "aws_subnet_id": "your_aws_subnet_id",
  "gcp_project_id": "your_gcp_project_id",
  "gcp_zone": "your_gcp_zone"
}

And when running the packer build command, include the -var-file option to specify the variables.json file:

packer build -var-file=variables.json scylla-monitor-template.json

Authentication

AWS

Ensure aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key are configured either in a local credentials file (ex. ~/.aws/credentials) or as environment variables.

GCP

Set your GCP service account key as an environment variable:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/your/service-account-file.json"
