Setting Up Terraform​

Note

SAT v0.2.0 or higher introduces full support for Unity Catalog. You can now pick your own catalog instead of being limited to the hive_metastore. Additionally, you have the flexibility to choose your own schema name.

Step 1: Install Required Tools​

  1. Install Terraform.
  2. Install Git on your local machine.

Step 2: Clone the Repository​

Clone the Security Analysis Tool repository using:

git clone https://github.com/databricks-industry-solutions/security-analysis-tool.git

Step 3: Navigate to the Terraform Directory​

Navigate to the relevant cloud directory:

cd security-analysis-tool/terraform/<cloud>/

Step 4: Configure Variables​

  1. Create a terraform.tfvars file using the template.tfvars file as a base.
  2. Refer to the variables.tf for descriptions of the variables.
  3. Set all required variables for your deployment.

Further Documentation for some of the variables:

Proxies are now supported as part of SAT. You can add your HTTP and HTTPS links to use your proxies.

{
    "http": "http://example.com",
    "https": "https://example.com"
}

Run Terraform and SAT Workflows​

Step 5: Run Terraform Commands​

  1. Initialize Terraform:
terraform init
  1. Plan Terraform Changes - create a plan to preview changes to your infrastructure:
terraform plan
  1. Apply Terraform Plan - Execute the proposed changes:
terraform apply

Step 6: Run Databricks Jobs​

  1. Run "SAT Initializer Notebook":
  • This must be run successfully once. While it can be run multiple times, a single successful run is sufficient.
  1. Run "SAT Driver Notebook":
  • This notebook can be scheduled to run periodically (e.g., every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).

Step 7: Access the SAT Dashboard​

  1. Navigate to the SQL > Dashboard in the left menu from the Databricks workspace.
  2. Select the SAT Dashboard, choose a Workspace from the dropdown, and refresh the dashboard.

Supplemental Documentation​

Additional Considerations:​

If a pre-existing secret scope named sat_scope causes jobs to fail:

  1. Rename the secret scope in secrets.tf
  2. Re-run terraform apply.
  3. Update the secret scope name in 6 locations (CMD 4 and CMD 5) of Workspace -> Applications -> SAT-TF/notebooks/Utils/initialize.
  4. Re-run failed jobs
