workspace_url String True URL of the workspace. Should be in format of https://*.com or https://*.net. Don’t include anything after the .com or .net suffix
api_url String True API URL for the Workspace (execute in scala dbutils.notebook.getContext().apiUrl.get ON THE TARGET WORKSPACE NOT DEPLOYMENT WORKSPACE to get the API URL for the workspace. NOTE: Workspace_URL and API_URL can be different for a workspace but may be the same even for multiple workspaces). You can also use the workspace_url here.
cloud String True Cloud provider (Azure/AWS/GCP).
primordial_date String True The date from which Overwatch will capture the details. The format should be yyyy-MM-dd ex: 2022-05-20 == May 20 2022. **IMPORTANT NOTE: ** You should only set the primordial date in the initial run of Overwatch, and never change it again, as Overwatch will progress the dates using it’s own calculations and checkpoints.
storage_prefix String True CASE SENSITIVE - Lower Case The location in which Overwatch will store the data. You can think of this as the Overwatch working directory. dbfs:/mnt/path/… or abfss://container@myStorageAccount.dfs.core.windows.net/… or s3://myBucket/… or gs://myBucket/…
etl_database_name String True The name of the ETL data base for Overwatch (i.e. overwatch_etl or custom)

secret_key_dbpat String True This will contain the PAT token of the workspace. The key should be present in the secret_scope and should start with the letters dapi.
auditlogprefix_source_path String True For all clouds use keyword system to fetch data from System Tables (system.access.audit) See System Table Configuration Details for details. If you are not using System Tables, you can enter the location of the auditlogs (AWS/GCP Only). The contents under this directory must have the folders with the date partitions like date=2022-12-0 .
interactive_dbu_price Double True Contract (or list) Price for interactive DBUs. The provided template has the list prices by default.

max_days Integer True This is the max incrementals days that will be loaded. Usually only relevant for historical loading and rebuilds. Recommendation == 30
excluded_scopes String False Scopes that should not be excluded from the pipelines. Since this is a CSV, it’s critical that these are colon delimited. Leave blank if you’d like to load all overwatch scopes.
active Boolean True Whether or not the workspace should be validated / deployed.
proxy_host String False Proxy url for the workspace.
proxy_port String False Proxy port for the workspace

thread_pool_size Integer False API Tunable - Max number of API calls Overwatch is allowed to make in parallel. Default == 4. Increase for faster bronze but if workspace is busy, risks API endpoint saturation. Overwatch will detect saturation and back-off when detected but for safety never go over 8 without testing.
api_waiting_time Long False API Tunable - Overwatch makes async api calls in parallel, api_waiting_time signifies the max wait time in case of no response received from the api call. Default = 300000(5 minutes)
mount_mapping_path String False Path to local CSV holding details of all mounts on remote workspaces (only necessary for remote workspaces with >50 mounts) click here for more details
temp_dir_path String False Custom temporary working directory, directory gets cleaned up after each run.

Azure Event Hub Specific Configurations

When configuring the Azure EH configurations users can use EITHER a shared access key OR AAD SP as of 072x to authenticate to the EH. Below are the required configurations for each auth method. One of the options for Azure deployments must be used as EH is required for Azure.
