LaunchDarkly Plugin

The LaunchDarkly plugin integrates feature flag management directly into your Venue portal, allowing teams to view and monitor the state of feature flags for their services without leaving Venue.sh.

Preconfiguration: Generating an API Token

To use the LaunchDarkly plugin in Venue.sh, you need a LaunchDarkly API access token with read access.

  1. Log in to your LaunchDarkly account, and navigate to Account Settings → Authorization.
  2. Click + Token in the Access tokens section.
  3. Give the token a name (e.g., venue-sh), and set the role to Reader.
  4. Click Save token.
  5. Copy and save the token in a secure location.
    Tip:

    LaunchDarkly displays the token only once. Make sure you save it before closing the dialog!

Configuring the LaunchDarkly Plugin in Venue.sh

  1. In the Venue.sh app, click Plugins in the left-side navigation.
  2. Find LaunchDarkly, then click Enable Plugin.
  3. On the configuration modal, enter your LaunchDarkly API Token (generated above).
  4. Click Save Changes.

Component Setup

Add the following annotations to your entity's catalog-info.yaml file to connect it to the relevant LaunchDarkly project and environment:

metadata:
  annotations:
    launchdarkly.com/project-key: [YOUR_PROJECT_KEY]
    launchdarkly.com/environment-key: [YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_KEY]
Tip:

The Project key can be found in your LaunchDarkly dashboard under Account Settings → Projects. It is the short identifier (e.g., my-project).

The Environment key can be found within a project's settings, e.g., production, staging.

Once configured, navigate to your entity in the Catalog and click the LaunchDarkly tab to view the feature flags associated with that service.

Viewing Feature Flags

The LaunchDarkly tab displays two sections, Project Overview and Context Overview.

Project Overview

A table of all feature flags in the linked LaunchDarkly project, showing:

  • Name - The flag name

  • Maintainer - The user responsible for the flag

  • Kind - The flag type (e.g., boolean, multivariate, etc.)

  • Created - Date the flag was created

  • Version - The current flag version

Context Overview

A detailed breakdown of each flag for the linked environment, showing:

  • Name / Key - The flag name and its unique key

  • Description - An optional description of the flag's purpose

  • Status - Whether the flag is currently enabled or disabled

  • Tags - Any tags associated with the flag

  • Variations - The individual variations and their enabled/disabled state

Expanding a flag also shows environment-targeting details for each environment in your LaunchDarkly project. Details include context targets, fallthrough variation, off variation, version, last modified date, and whether event-tracking is enabled.
