Multi Spinnaker

The multi-cd audit option is available to add multiple spinnaker instances in ISD spinnaker. By adding multiple instances, you can manage and monitor multiple applications and the pipelines of all the added spinnaker instances. To enable this option you need to set multi_cd_enabled: true in the app config file as shown below:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  app-config.json: |-
    {
        "endPointUrl": "/gate/",
        "setApplicationInterval": 300000,
        "triggerPipeline": false,
        "cdTool": "Spinnaker",
        "multi_cd_enabled": true,
        "hide_accessManagement": true,
        "hide_agent": true,
        "hide_cd_integration": false,
        "hide_cloud_targets": true,
        "hide_integrations": true,
        "hide_pipelineTemplates": true,
        "hide_policies": true,
        "hide_users": true,
        "grafana_enabled": true,
        "grafanaPipelineInsightsEndpoint": "
https://grafana.hyd-qa.opsmx.net/grafana/d/pipeline-insight/pipeinsights
",
        "grafanaStageInsightsEndpoint": "
https://grafana.hyd-qa.opsmx.net/grafana/d/stage-insight/stageinsights
"

When multi spinnaker is enabled, some of the ISD pages such as Access Management, Agents, Cloud Targets, Integrations, Pipeline Templates, Policies and Users are disabled by default.

The following code section must be added in the app config file when enabling multi spinnaker to hide the above mentioned pages.

"hide_accessManagement": true,

"hide_agent": true,

"hide_cd_integration": false,

"hide_cloud_targets": true,

"hide_integrations": true,

"hide_pipelineTemplates": true,

"hide_policies": true,

"hide_users": true,

Once the flag is enabled, go to Setup > CD Integration to add the spinnaker instances.

Click + New CD Integration. The CD Integration details page is displayed.

Enter the required details of the instance and click Save. The CD instance is added. You can add any number of spinnaker instances. Once the instances are added, access the echo-local.yml file.

• Goto Repo > Default > Profiles > echo-local.yml

• Provide the name of the CD name in the name field that you have given in ISD and add your rabbitmq ip address in the host field .

message-broker:
  endpoint:
    name: rabbitmq     #Currently support rabbitmq only
  username: rabbitmq         #rabbitmq username to connect
  password: Networks123      #rabbitmq password to connect
  host: 34.136.9.29    #rabbitmq endpoint to connect
  port: 5672                 #rabbitmq port to connect
ssd:
  name: preview-saas-ssd
  enable: false
spinnaker:
  name: helm4042spin      #Should be same as account name given in spinnaker setup
  extensibility:
    plugins:
      Opsmx.EchoEventPlugin:
        enabled: true
        version: 1.0.1
        config: null

The CD name of the Spinnaker instance in ISD should match to the name field in the echo-local.yml file.

The created spinnaker instances CD Name along with the applications are displayed in the home page.

You can select the required CD instance name from the CD Name drop down.

The multi spinnaker executions, audit, and insights can be viewed by accessing the Audit and Insights pages.
