In a Kubernetes deployment, this variable is auto-populated with the name of the Helm chart. For example, if deployed using:

helm install myenv1 hpcc/hpcc

then the HPCC_DEPLOYMENTNAME variable will contain the value: myenv1.

For a bare-metal environment, this value can be set in environment.conf, by adding:

deploymentName=myenv1

In a Kubernetes deployment, HPCC_DEPLOYMENTNAME can also be explicitly set via the global.env section of the Helm chart values. This will override the auto-populated chart instance name. For example:

global:
  env:
  - name: HPCC_DEPLOYMENTNAME
    value: myenv1

Similarly, for a bare-metal environment, explicitly setting HPCC_DEPLOYMENTNAME as a system environment variable will override any value set via environment.conf.

You can retrieve this value using:

OUTPUT(GETENV('HPCC_DEPLOYMENTNAME', 'unknown'));
