Comment 1 for bug 1243776

In this case, the service key is really just the public half of an SSH RSA keypair your systems will use to authenticate when connecting to the Gerrit SSH API on review.openstack.org (through which you can consume the Gerrit event stream, and also add comments or votes on reviews).

We'll want a few additional details:

1. The public SSH key described above (if using OpenSSH, this would be the full contents of the account's ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file after running 'ssh-keygen'). You can attach it to this bug or reply with a hyperlink to where you've published it so I can retrieve it. This is a non-sensitive piece of data, and it's safe for it to be publicly visible.

2. A preferred (short, alphanumeric) username you want to use for the new SSH account. This is the username you'll use when connecting to Gerrit via SSH.

3. (optional) A human-readable display name for your testing system, shown on comments and votes in Gerrit.

4. (optional) A unique contact E-mail address or alias for this system, which can not be in use as a contact address for any other Gerrit accounts on review.openstack.org (Gerrit doesn't deal well with duplicate E-mail addresses between accounts). This is so that contributors and reviewers can see how to get in touch with people who might be able to fix problems with the system if it starts leaving erroneous votes.

Thanks!
