How to Collect DigitalOcean Resource Data

The DigitalOcean collector is configured within the Resoto Worker configuration via the config command in Resoto Shell.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes that you have already installed Resoto.

Directions

1. Enable the DigitalOcean Collector

1. Open the Resoto Worker configuration via the config command in Resoto Shell:

   > config edit resoto.worker

2. Add digitalocean to the list of collectors by modifying the configuration as follows:

   resotoworker:
     ...
     # List of collectors to run
     collector:
       - 'digitalocean'
       ...
   ...

2. Authenticate with DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean uses access tokens to authenticate API requests. You can provide access tokens to Resoto via the Resoto Worker configuration or environment variables.

Resoto Worker Configuration

1. Open the Resoto Worker configuration via the config command in Resoto Shell:

   > config edit resoto.worker

2. Modify the digitalocean section of the configuration as follows, adding your API tokens and/or access keys:

   digitalocean:
     # DigitalOcean API tokens for the teams to be collected
     api_tokens:
       - 'dop_v1_e5c759260e6a43f003f3b53e2cfec79cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
     # DigitalOcean Spaces access keys for the teams to be collected, separated by colons
     spaces_access_keys: []
     ...

Environment Variables

Instead of specifying API tokens or secret access keys in the Resoto Worker configuration directly, it is possible to define them using the --override flag or RESOTOWORKER_OVERRIDE environment variable.

1. Set the RESOTOWORKER_OVERRIDE environment variable:

   Docker

   • Add a environment variable definition to the resotoworker service in docker-compose.yaml:

     docker-compose.yaml

     services:
       ...
       resotoworker:
         environment:
           - RESOTOWORKER_OVERRIDE="digitalocean.api_tokens=dop_v1_e5c759260e6a43f003f3b53e2cfec79cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
       ...
     ...

   • Recreate the resotoworker container with the updated service definition:

     $ docker-compose up -d
     note

     Docker Compose V2 integrated compose functions in to the Docker platform.

     In Docker Compose V2, the command is docker compose (no hyphen) instead of docker-compose.

   Kubernetes

   • Create a secret:

     $ kubectl -n resoto create secret generic resoto-auth \
       --from-literal=RESOTOWORKER_OVERRIDE="digitalocean.api_tokens=dop_v1_e5c759260e6a43f003f3b53e2cfec79cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

   • Update resoto-values.yaml as follows:

     resoto-values.yaml

     ...
     resotoworker:
       ...
       extraEnv:
         - name: RESOTOWORKER_OVERRIDE
           valueFrom:
             secretKeyRef:
               name: resoto-auth
               key: RESOTOWORKER_OVERRIDE
     ...

   • Deploy these changes with Helm:

     $ helm upgrade resoto resoto/resoto --set image.tag=3.6.5 -f resoto-values.yaml

   pip

   • Export the RESOTOWORKER_OVERRIDE environment variable:

     $ export RESOTOWORKER_OVERRIDE="digitalocean.api_tokens=dop_v1_e5c759260e6a43f003f3b53e2cfec79cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

   • Restart the resotoworker process.

3. Trigger Resource Collection

1. By default, Resoto performs resource collection each hour. To immediately trigger a collect run, use the workflow run command in Resoto Shell:

   > workflow run collect

2. Once the collect run completes, you can view a summary of collected DigitalOcean resources using the following search:

   > search is(digitalocean_resource) | count kind
