Parameters

The Torque parameter store is a repository of key-value pairs, which can be used and reused in blueprint YAMLs across all spaces in Torque. Two types of parameters are supported:

• Account-level parameters are defined by the Torque account admin and can be used across all spaces. As such, these parameters are typically used to store data that applies to multiple spaces.
• Space-level parameters are defined by space admins and apply to specific spaces.

Creating Account-level parameters

Torque role: Account admin

Important

Modifying or deleting a parameter may cause blueprints that use the parameter to fail.

To add an account-level parameter:

1. Open the Administration and click Parameters.
2. Click Add Parameter in the top right corner of the page.
3. Fill in the details:
   • Parameter Name: Display name for the parameter.
     • Parameter Name is case-insensitive.
     • Parameter Name may only contain URL-supported characters including letters, digits, underscores, dashes, etc.
   • Is Sensitive?: Determines whether this parameter value is sensitive and should be hidden from users
   • Value: Parameter’s value
   • Description: Informative description of the parameter or value it contains
4. Click Apply. The parameter is stored in the parameter store and can be used in your blueprint YAMLs in the format: {{.params.param-name}}. For details, see Parameters.

Creating space-level parameters

Torque role: Space admin

To add a space-level parameter:

1. Open your space, and click Parameters in the left pane. On this page, you can view all the account-level parameters that were defined by the account admin, and add space-specific parameters.
2. Click the Add Parameter button to add a new space-level parameter.
3. Fill in the details:
   • Parameter Name: Display name for the parameter.
     • Parameter Name is case-insensitive.
     • Parameter Name may only contain URL-supported characters including letters, digits, underscores, dashes, etc.
   • Is Sensitive?: Determines whether this parameter value is sensitive and should be hidden from users
   • Value: Parameter’s value
   • Description: Informative description of the parameter or value it contains
4. Click Apply. The parameter is stored in the parameter store and can be used in your blueprint YAMLs in the format: {{.params.param-name}}. For details, see Parameters.

tip

A space-level parameter will take precedence over an account-level parameter with the same name

SYSTEM Parameters

SYSTEM parameters provide account-wide control and configuration from the parameter store.

Below is a list of supported SYSTEM parameters:

Parameter Name	Parameter Values	Description
SYSTEM_DISABLE_LOGS_SHIPPING	true/false	Disables logs shipping in Runner
SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_AUTO_UPDATE	true/false	Account or space-level parameter. Parameter flag for "force" update on any grain code-changes detection for all of the environments in the space. Auto updates the grain when changes are found in the sources defined in the workspace-directories. It should take up to 3 minutes to see the changes and initiate the automatic update.
SYSTEM_TF_FORCE_PROVIDERS_UPGRADE	true/false	true ⇒ Terraform init will run with --upgrade flag
SYSTEM_ACTIONS_OPTIONAL_AWS_ROLE_ARN	Role ARN	ARN of target role to use for Ansible built-in actions in this space
SYSTEM_IMAGE_PULL_SECRET_NAME	string	Name of secret that needs to be used to pull images
SYSTEM_HELM_RUNNER_IMAGE	<image_registry_address>/<image_name>:<image_tag>	Non-default image location for Helm grain runner
SYSTEM_K8S_RUNNER_IMAGE	<image_registry_address>/<image_name>:<image_tag>	Non-default image location for K8s grain runner
SYSTEM_SHELL_RUNNER_IMAGE	<image_registry_address>/<image_name>:<image_tag>	Non-default image location for Shell grain runner
SYSTEM_CFN_RUNNER_IMAGE	<image_registry_address>/<image_name>:<image_tag>	Non-default image location for CloudFormation grain runner
SYSTEM_ANSIBLE_RUNNER_IMAGE	<image_registry_address>/<image_name>:<image_tag>	Non-default image location for Ansible grain runner
SYSTEM_ANSIBLE_ACTION_RUNNER_IMAGE	<image_registry_address>/<image_name>:<image_tag>	Non-default image location for Ansible built-in Actions runner
SYSTEM_ARGOCD_RUNNER_IMAGE	<image_registry_address>/<image_name>:<image_tag>	Non-default image location for ArgoCD grain runner
SYSTEM_TERRAFORM_RUNNER_IMAGE	<image_registry_address>/<image_name>:<image_tag>	Non-default image location for Terraform grain runner
SYSTEM_TERRAGRUNT_RUNNER_IMAGE	<image_registry_address>/<image_name>:<image_tag>	Non-default image location for Terragrunt grain runner
