Proposal: Add a --config-file parameter for easier switching between StackRox instances?

Open kastl-ars opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

I just get started using StackRox and roxctl, so please excuse, if those are newbie questions that were asked and answered before.

From what I found in the docs and the roxctl help, I can set most things I need for roxctl in environment variables.

Setting a token as an environment variable that every process in my shell can read sounds like something that could be problematic. Setting the ROX_API_TOKEN_FILE variable pointing to a file is better.

But still, this means I need to set three different variables (token file, endpoint, CA file) each time I "switch between StackRox instances". Not sure how often I need to actually do something with roxctl.

Using different customer's clusters, it would be nice if roxctl supported a --config-file argument or a configuration file with multiple contexts, like kubeconfig.

The latter might be hard to implement, but a --config-file argument might be easy hanging fruit?

Have a nice weekend!

Kind Regards, Johannes
