Generating Telemetry Publisher access credentials

Steps for generating access credentials that enable communication between your Workload clusters and Cloudera Observability on premises.

Describes how to create the access and private keys for Cloudera Manager's Telemetry Publisher, which collects and sends your workload information to Cloudera Observability on premises. You will be required to supply these values when you enable the Telemetry Publisher service on your Workload Cluster.
  1. Verify that you are logged in to the web UI.
    1. In the URL field of a supported web browser, enter the URL that you were given by your system administrator and press Enter.
    2. When the Log in page opens, enter your user name and password access credentials.
    3. Click Log in.
      The landing page opens.
  2. From the Cloudera Observability on premises Environments page, in the top right corner, click Connect Cluster to generate an altus key for Cloudera Observability on premises.
  3. On the Add New Cluster Connection page, click Generate Access Credentials to add your Cloudera Observability on premises account to Cloudera Manager.
    The Telemetry Publisher Access Key ID and Private Key credentials are created and their respective fields are populated with the credential text. You can record these values to connect Cloudera Manager to Cloudera Observability on premises
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Manually save the access credentials:
      1. Record the Access Key ID credential text and store it somewhere safe. You will be required to supply this value when you enable the Telemetry Publisher service on your Workload Cluster.
      2. In a new text file, copy and paste the Private Key credential text exactly as provided without trailing spaces and then name and save the file somewhere safe. You will be required to supply this file when you enable the Telemetry Publisher service on your Workload Cluster.
    • Download the credentials file.
      1. Click Download Credentials File.
      2. Go to your Downloads directory.
      3. Open the file in a text editor and record the Access Key ID credential text and store it somewhere safe.
      4. Remove the text containing the Access Key ID, starting from [default] and ending with cdp_private_key=.

        The credentials file should now only contain the Private Key credentials text, starting from -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and ending with -----END PRIVATE KEY-----.

      5. Save the file somewhere safe. You will be required to supply this file when you enable the Telemetry Publisher service on your Workload Cluster.
  5. Log in to Cloudera Manager and use the Access Key ID and Private Key stored in Step 4 to set up the external accounts.
