Deploying the metrics-agent With Helm
Helm must be installed to use the charts. Please refer to Helm’s documentation to get started.
Once Helm has been set up correctly, add the repo as follows:
helm repo add metrics-agent https://cloudability.github.io/metrics-agent/
If you had already added this repo earlier, run
helm repo update
to retrieve the latest versions of the packages. You can then run
helm search repo metrics-agent
to see the charts.
Kubernetes
To install the metrics-agent chart:
helm install metrics-agent --set apiKey=<yourApiKey> --set clusterName=<yourClusterName> --set uploadRegion=<regionToUploadTo> metrics-agent/metrics-agent -n cloudability --create-namespace
Or to install the metrics-agent chart into an existing cloudability namespace where the api key is stored in an existing kubernetes secret
helm install metrics-agent --set secretName=<NameOfSecret> --set clusterName=<yourClusterName> --set uploadRegion=<regionToUploadTo> metrics-agent/metrics-agent -n cloudability
OpenShift
To install the metrics-agent chart:
helm install metrics-agent --set apiKey=<yourApiKey> --set clusterName=<yourClusterName> --set openShift=true --set uploadRegion=<regionToUploadTo> metrics-agent/metrics-agent -n cloudability --create-namespace
Or to install the metrics-agent chart into an existing cloudability namespace where the api key is stored in an existing kubernetes secret
helm install metrics-agent --set secretName=<NameOfSecret> --set clusterName=<yourClusterName> --set openShift=true --set uploadRegion=<regionToUploadTo> metrics-agent/metrics-agent -n cloudability
To uninstall the chart:
helm delete metrics-agent -n cloudability
Notes:
<yourApiKey>and<yourUploadRegion>are obtained through the Containers Insights page in the Cloudability UI.- Deploying the metrics-agent with Helm creates a kubernetes secret that stores the api-key value. The metrics-agent deployment then pulls the apikey value from this secret.
