To allow Netpicker to perform backups on platforms that require elevated privileges, you must configure the kibbitzer container appropriately. This involves setting the SHENV_PRIVILEGED_PLATFORMS environment variable and storing the necessary credentials in Netpicker’s Vault.
Update the Docker Compose Configuration
Edit your docker-compose.yml file to include the SHENV_PRIVILEGED_PLATFORMS variable under the kibbitzer service.
Example Configuration
kibbitzer:
environment:
SHENV_PRIVILEGED_PLATFORMS: “gigamon_gigavue arista_eos”
Replace the value of SHENV_PRIVILEGED_PLATFORMS with the space-separated list of platforms that require privileged access.
Set the elevated secret in the Netpicker vault
