Deploying CDP Trigger
This section provides detailed instructions on how to deploy HCL CDP Trigger using the Devtron in the OpenShift.
Prerequisites
Make sure to create a cdp-trigger secret in the HashiCorp vault before deploying the CDP Trigger.
To create a CDP Trigger secret in the HashiCorp vault, follow the steps below:
- Create a cdp-trigger secret sample key and value, and update the actual values as shown
below.
{ "AerospikeCluster": "<AerospikeCluster>", "AerospikeTimeout": "10000", "KafkaConsumerConfig": "<KafkaConsumerConfig>", "KafkaProducerConfig": "<KafkaProducerConfig>", "KafkaProducerConfigaps1": "<KafkaProducerConfigaps1>", "MY_SQL_HOST": "<MY_SQL_HOST>", "MysqlDatabase": "<MysqlDatabase>", "MysqlPassword": "<MysqlPassword>", "MysqlPort": "<MysqlPort>", "MysqlUsername": "<MysqlUsername>", "allowTrafficForSpecificCampaign": "false" } - Create a Kubernetes Secret with Vault credentials to fetch the secrets from the
vault.
apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret metadata: name: vault-creds namespace: cdp-dev-app type: Opaque data: username: <vault username> password: <vault password> - Create separate service account cdp-dev-app-sa with appropriate roles and permissions, and update ConfigMaps data with actual values.
- Create required Kafka topics before deployment. A sample Kafka topic configuration is
shown below.
Deploy CDP Trigger
To deploy CDP Trigger using Devtron in Openshift platform, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to the Devtron Chart Store, and select cdp-trigger chart to deploy.
- Now, configure and deploy the cdp-trigger charts.

- In the YAML section, update the ConfigMap using the below details and deploy the chart.
{ "AerospikeCluster": "<AERO_HOST_1>:13000,<AERO_HOST_2>:13000", "AerospikeTimeout": "10000", "MY_SQL_HOST": "<DB_HOST>", "MysqlDatabase": "vrm", "MysqlUsername": "<DB_USER>", "MysqlPassword": "<DB_PASSWORD>", "MysqlPort": "3307", "allowTrafficForSpecificCampaign": "false", "KafkaConsumerConfig": "bootstrap.servers::<KAFKA_HOST_1>:9096,<KAFKA_HOST_2>:9096|security.protocol::SASL_SSL|sasl.jaas.config::org.apache.kafka.common.security.scram.ScramLoginModule required username='<KAFKA_USER>' password='<KAFKA_PASSWORD>';|sasl.mechanism::SCRAM-SHA-512|client.dns.lookup::use_all_dns_ips|group.id::k8s-trigger-prod", "KafkaProducerConfig": "bootstrap.servers::<KAFKA_HOST_1>:9096,<KAFKA_HOST_2>:9096|security.protocol::SASL_SSL|sasl.jaas.config::org.apache.kafka.common.security.scram.ScramLoginModule required username='<KAFKA_USER>' password='<KAFKA_PASSWORD>';|sasl.mechanism::SCRAM-SHA-512|client.dns.lookup::use_all_dns_ips|acks::all|max.block.ms::5000", "KafkaProducerConfigaps1": "bootstrap.servers::<KAFKA_HOST_1>:9096,<KAFKA_HOST_2>:9096|security.protocol::SASL_SSL|sasl.jaas.config::org.apache.kafka.common.security.scram.ScramLoginModule required username='<KAFKA_USER>' password='<KAFKA_PASSWORD>';|sasl.mechanism::SCRAM-SHA-512|client.dns.lookup::use_all_dns_ips|acks::all|max.block.ms::5000", "AerospikeUsername": "<AERO_USER>", "AerospikePassword": "<AERO_PASSWORD>" }
- On successful deployment, validate the deployment as shown below.
