Table: circleci_context_environment_variable - Query CircleCI Context Environment Variables using SQL

CircleCI Context Environment Variables are resources within CircleCI that allow you to store environment variable data. These variables can be shared across multiple projects within a CircleCI organization. They are used to store sensitive information and can be used across multiple jobs, providing a secure and efficient way to manage environment-specific data.

Table Usage Guide

The circleci_context_environment_variable table provides insights into the environment variables within CircleCI Contexts. As a DevOps engineer, explore environment variable-specific details through this table, including their names, contexts, and values. Utilize it to uncover information about the variables, such as those that are shared across multiple projects, and efficiently manage environment-specific data.

Examples

Environment variables in a context

Explore the environment variables associated with a specific context in CircleCI to understand when they were created and last updated. This can be useful for auditing and managing configurations across projects.

select
  context_id,
  variable,
  created_at,
  updated_at
from
  circleci_context_environment_variable
where
  context_id = '60d77d33-a62c-4167-90be-3e02ee38a75b';

select
  context_id,
  variable,
  created_at,
  updated_at
from
  circleci_context_environment_variable
where
  context_id = '60d77d33-a62c-4167-90be-3e02ee38a75b';

Environment variables not updated for more than 90 days

Determine the areas in which CircleCI environment variables have not been updated for more than 90 days. This could be useful for auditing and maintaining best practices for regular updates and security.

select
  context_id,
  variable,
  created_at,
  updated_at
from
  circleci_context_environment_variable
where
  context_id = '60d77d33-a62c-4167-90be-3e02ee38a75b'
  and updated_at < current_date - interval '90' day;

select
  context_id,
  variable,
  created_at,
  updated_at
from
  circleci_context_environment_variable
where
  context_id = '60d77d33-a62c-4167-90be-3e02ee38a75b'
  and updated_at < date('now', '-90 day');

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

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:

steampipe_export_circleci --config '<your_config>' circleci_context_environment_variable
