Table: circleci_context - Query CircleCI Contexts using SQL

CircleCI Contexts is a feature within CircleCI that allows you to create and manage contexts. Contexts are used to share environment variables across multiple projects. These environment variables are encrypted and stored securely, allowing you to manage access to sensitive information within your pipelines.

Table Usage Guide

The circleci_context table provides insights into contexts within CircleCI. As a DevOps engineer, explore context-specific details through this table, including names, IDs, and creation timestamps. Utilize it to uncover information about contexts, such as their associated environment variables, the projects they are shared with, and the management of access to sensitive data.

Examples

Contexts across my organizations

Explore the various contexts within your organizations to understand when they were created and their correlation with specific organization slugs. This can help in managing and organizing your resources more efficiently.

select
  id,
  name,
  organization_slug,
  created_at
from
  circleci_context;

select
  id,
  name,
  organization_slug,
  created_at
from
  circleci_context;

Context environment variables of an organization

Discover the environment variables within a specific organization's context to understand when they were created or last updated. This can help in maintaining the organization's configuration and track any changes made over time.

select
  c.name as context,
  v.context_id,
  v.variable,
  v.created_at,
  v.updated_at
from
  circleci_context c
  join circleci_context_environment_variable v on v.context_id = c.id
where
  organization_slug = 'gh/fluent-cattle';

select
  c.name as context,
  v.context_id,
  v.variable,
  v.created_at,
  v.updated_at
from
  circleci_context c
  join circleci_context_environment_variable v on v.context_id = c.id
where
  organization_slug = 'gh/fluent-cattle';

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- circleci

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:
