Inputs Configuration via Portal

Overview

When creating Applications and Infrastructures in the StackSpot EDP portal, you must fill in Plugins and Action inputs. In this guide, you will find the rules and other information about filling inputs. See below:

General Rules

  • If there are defined Contexts, some (or all) variables will already be filled. And, when the variables are mandatory, you cannot change them.

  • Input filling can only contain alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), and hyphens (-), according to the regex: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$. For example: nome_Input, Nome_input, NOME_INPUT, Nome-input, nome-input, N0m3-1nput.

  • Alias: This field names the Plugin usage and indicate its purpose in the application, as Plugins can be applied more than once. It comes automatically filled in, like in the image below, but you can edit it. To do this, click on the field and edit the text. The alias is immutable once configured. If you want to edit this name, this is the only time you can.

Configuring inputs with Account Variables

When applying a Plugin, you can choose to use Account Variables to fill in the input values of type text. To do this:

  1. Click the "Use variable" button next to the input field;
  2. Select one of the available Variables that appear in the list;
  3. If it is not mandatory, you can change the Variable's value.

Check the flow in the image below:

The screen shows the selected Applications section with the Apply Plugins step and the Plugin named "plugin-demo" with the input "type the name of your resource," the "use variable" button selected, and a dropdown opened below displaying a list of Variables.
