OpsLevel Maturity Backend Plugin

This plugin, in combination with the frontend plugin, provides automatic, scheduled export functionality of users, groups, and components from Backstage into OpsLevel.

Installation

Step 1

In the root directory of your Backstage installation, run the following command:

yarn add --cwd packages/backend @opslevel/backstage-maturity-backend @backstage/plugin-proxy-backend

Step 2

Open the index.ts file in the packages/backend/src subdirectory of your Backstage installation with the code editor of your choice.

// packages/backend/src/index.ts
backend.add(import('@backstage/plugin-proxy-backend'));
backend.add(import('@opslevel/backstage-maturity-backend'));

Step 3

Set up the necessary configuration in your Backstage instance's app-config.yaml. Note: that this configuration is the same as for installing the installing the frontend plugin, if you've already done the changes in app-config.yaml for the frontend plugin, you don't need to do this again.

Set Up the Proxy Configuration

Add a proxy configuration for OpsLevel. Replace <your_OpsLevel_API_token> with a token from https://app.opslevel.com/api_tokens (or, if you're running a self-hosted OpsLevel instance, the /api_tokens page on your OpsLevel instance).

proxy:
  endpoints:
    '/opslevel':
      target: 'https://app.opslevel.com'
      credentials: 'dangerously-allow-unauthenticated'
      headers:
        X-Custom-Source: backstage
        Authorization: Bearer <your_OpsLevel_API_token>
      allowedHeaders: ['GraphQL-Visibility']

If you're running Self-Hosted OpsLevel, replace target with your URL.

Set Up the Base OpsLevel URL

opslevel:
  baseUrl: 'https://app.opslevel.com'

If you're running Self-Hosted OpsLevel, replace baseUrl with your URL.
