Integrations

Overview

The Red Hat OpenShift Integration allows Cywift to securely connect with OpenShift API servers to collect infrastructure, node, and workload-related data.

Before starting the integration, ensure the following

• Cluster administrator access to OpenShift
• API Server URL
• Service Account with appropriate Cluster Role permissions
• Network connectivity between Cywift and the API server

Step1: Create Service Account

Cywift uses a service account token for secure API communication.

1. Create a service account in your OpenShift project.
2. Assign the 'cluster-reader' ClusterRole to the service account.
3. Retrieve the API token for the service account.
