# Helm chart options

> Customize the deployment of Plerion's collector manager by setting Helm chart values directly or with a values.yaml file.

## Configurable parameters

The `collector-manager` Helm chart includes parameters to customize the deployment of the Plerion Collector Manager.

You can set these values in two ways:

* Use the `--set key=value[,key=value]` flag when running `helm install` or `helm upgrade`.
* Provide a `values.yaml` file for a more organized configuration.

## Example usage

Install the `collector-manager` chart with custom configuration:

```shell theme={"system"}
helm install plerion-collector-manager plerion/collector-manager \
  -n plerion-system \
  --set collector.replicaCount=2
```

Or use a YAML values file:

```
helm install plerion-collector-manager plerion/collector-manager \
  -n plerion-system \
  --values values.yaml
```
