Property Definitions

🚧

Custom Property Definitions have moved to Component Types

Custom Property Definitions have moved to Component Types as part of the Components Alpha Release. If you do not have Components enabled on your account, please reach out to your customer service representative or email us at [email protected] to get it enabled.

To get started with Custom Properties you’ll first need to define which properties you wish to track on your components. You can add individual Custom Properties directly in the OpsLevel UI. To configure custom properties, first navigate to the Component Types page Settings > Component Types.

Then select the Component Type you wish to define the type safe Property Schema on that powers Custom Properties.

From here you can select New Property to define define a new Custom Service Property.

Custom Properties contain four pieces of information:

1. Name: the name of the property which will show as a label within the service UI.
2. Description: Helper text that will appear as a tooltip next to the property label.
3. Property Schema: The schema used to dictate the shape of the data you wish to track.
4. Display Status: Whether this property should be displayed in the service UI. Hiding the property is recommended when tracking machine style data used in checks/filtering but is not pertinent for service owners to see. Note: a hidden property can still be modified via the API.
5. Allowed In Config Files: Whether this property should be configurable via opslevel.yml. Disable this setting if the property should have dynamic data originating from an API or other automation.

Tooling Support (optional)

Property Definitions for Components of type Service can also be managed through the OpsLevel tool chain, including: Terraform, opslevel-cli, GraphQL and the opslevel-go client. Please refer to the respective tool to get started managing Property Definitions through automation.

Tooling support for other types of components is coming soon...
