Configuration

Application configuration YAML

Secrets

• Create secret in Harness to store API token, click on “New Secret Text” and enter values to your Sysdig Secure API Token to set SYSDIG_SECURE_TOKEN as shown below.

Delegate proxy

• If your Sysdig instance is behind a firewall, e.g.,sysdig.mycompany.com will not be accessible directly from Harness SaaS clusters, a delegate proxy has to be setup. Please ensure you have Harness Delegate installed for the same.
