## Charm Configuration

The charm requires certain configuration options to be set for it to function properly. Until all
required options are configured, the units will remain in `Blocked` state. User can examine unit
logs to see which required options are missing from configuration.

In particular, this charm needs juju credentials and endpoint of a Juju controller. This might
seem unnecessary as the charm is already being deployed in the juju environment but the fact is
that the charm unit itself has very little information about the cloud/model/controller that it’s
deployed in. On its own, it’s not capable of performing any introspection. That’s why we need
the credentials, to connect to the controller as a regular juju client. You can create separate
Juju account for this purpose or in the development environments, you can reuse your own
user/password (usually found in `~/.local/share/juju/accounts.yaml`).

**Note:** Normally, **`superuser`** privilege is expected for such a user for full access to
the controller. However, in case it is not possible, the minimum privilege requirements are:

1. `login` access to the controller instance and `admin` access to the model hosting the controller
2. `admin` access to any model that’s expected to be monitored by this exporter

Required options:

* `customer`
* `cloud-name`
* `controller-url`
* `juju-user`
* `juju-password`

An example command to configure the charm might look like:

```
juju config prometheus-juju-exporter \
  customer="Test Org" \
  cloud-name="Test Cloud" \
  controller-url="10.75.224.63:17070" \
  juju-user=admin \
  juju-password="86333204f5b22495550ab2c64a05607a"
```

(Use `juju config prometheus-juju-exporter` to get more information about each option.)
