Generating Telemetry Publisher access credentials

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

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. You will be required to supply these values when you enable the Telemetry Publisher service on your Workload Cluster.
  1. In a supported browser, log in to the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) as the user with administrative privileges.

    The CDP Public Cloud web interface landing page opens.

  2. From the Your Enterprise Data Cloud landing page, select the Management Console tile.

    The Management Console home page opens.

  3. From the Management Console's navigation panel, scroll down, click your user name, and then select Profile.
    Your Profile page opens.
  4. Click Generate Access Key.
    The Generate Access Key dialog box opens.
  5. In the Generate Access Key dialog box, click Generate an old format access key.
    The Telemetry Publisher Access Key ID and Private Key credentials are created and their respective fields populated with the credential text.
  6. 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.
