Configure cloud credentials

Foxglove Edge Sites need cloud credentials to upload data to Foxglove or a self-hosted cloud.

Configure your credentials before continuing installation.

Google Cloud Platform​

Install a Secret named gcp-cloud-credential into the foxglove namespace. This secret should contain a single key credentials.json with the contents of json key file.

You can use the kubectl command to set the secret from an existing credentials.json file.

$ kubectl create secret generic gcp-cloud-credential \
  -n foxglove \
  --from-file=./credentials.json

The edge controller deployment will mount this secret into a volume and read the credentials.json file to initialize the GCP client.
