Before you start

Hashicorp Terraform File needs no credentials — Huntbase queries it without signing in.

Watch out for

• Binary plan files aren't read. Convert each plan to JSON with terraform show -json first.
• For private Git repositories, if the github.com/... format doesn't work, try git::ssh://[email protected]/<org>/<repo>//*.tf.
• Private S3 buckets need AWS credentials that have s3:ListBucket, s3:GetObject and s3:GetObjectVersion.

Connect Hashicorp Terraform File

1. Go to Connections and click New connection, or click New connection on the Hashicorp Terraform File product page.
2. On Product, pick Hashicorp Terraform File and choose the Owner.
3. On Details, give the connection a Name and, optionally, a Description.
4. On Connect, fill in the settings and credentials described below.
5. On Verify, review the summary and click Create & check.

For everything else on the setup page — saving a draft, I'll do this later, and what each check result means — see Connections.
