Guides

In Infrahub, schemas play a crucial role in defining the structure and relationships of your data. This guide will walk you through the process of creating a new schema file, we will do this using the following steps:

📄️ Import Schema file

The recommended way to manage and load a schema is to create a schema file in YAML format. With a schema file it's possible to:

📄️ Controlling the menu

Infrahub allows you to control the menu on the left side of the web interface.

📄️ Importing Objects from a file

An Object file is a YAML file that allows you to manage data to be loaded in Infrahub based on your own custom schema. It provides a declarative way to define and manage resources in your Infrahub instance.

📄️ Creating a computed attribute

Infrahub supports two different types of computed attributes:

📄️ Using Resource Managers

The goal of this guide is to show you how to create a resource pool, and how you can allocate resources using them.

📄️ Creating Users, User Groups, Roles, and Permissions

In Infrahub, managing access and control starts with creating accounts, assigning them to groups, and managing their roles and permissions.

📄️ Creating Event triggers rules and actions

Triggers rules and actions feature, allows you to respond to events as they occur within Infrahub by defining filter conditions and triggering actions.

📄️ Creating a Group

Within Infrahub a Group can be created in multiple ways: in the UI, GraphQL, SDK and allow you to create and manage collections of objects.

📄️ How to Create a Generator

Generators in Infrahub allow you to automatically create or modify data based on existing information in your database. They are defined in external repositories and can be developed and tested locally using infrahubctl generatorinfrahubctl/infrahubctl-generator).

📄️ Adding external repositories

Infrahub supports two different types of connections to external Git repositories:

📄️ Creating a Jinja transform

Within Infrahub a Transform is defined in an external repository. However, during development and troubleshooting it is easiest to start from your local computer and run the render using infrahubctl renderinfrahubctl/infrahubctl-render).

📄️ Creating a Python transform

Within Infrahub a Transform is defined in an external repository. However, during development and troubleshooting it is easiest to start from your local computer and run the Transform using infrahubctl transforminfrahubctl/infrahubctl-transform).

📄️ Creating an Artifact

This guide has the assumption that you followed the Creating a Jinja Rendered File (Transform) or Creating a Python transform guide. This is a prerequisite.
