Steps to install

You can use advanced configuration options with this Helm chart.
Chart values can be set directly using the --set flag, as shown in the examples, or referenced from a values.yaml file for a more organized configuration.
1

Add the Plerion Helm repository

Add Plerion’s Helm charts to your configuration:
helm repo add plerion https://app.plerion.com/helm-charts
Example output:
"plerion" has been added to your repositories
2

Update available charts

Refresh the Helm repository to ensure you have the latest chart versions:
helm repo update
Example output:
Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories...
...Successfully got an update from the "plerion" chart repository
Update Complete. ⎈Happy Helming!⎈
3

Install the collector manager

Run the following command to install the collector manager into the plerion-system namespace. Replace placeholder values with those provided during integration setup.
The integration setup in Plerion provides the exact values you need. Using incorrect values will prevent the collector manager from connecting to the Control Plane.
export INTEGRATION_KEY="your-integration-key-here"
helm install plerion-collector-manager plerion/collector-manager \\
  --namespace plerion-system --create-namespace \\
  --set collector.organizationId=[organizationId] \\
  --set collector.tenantId=[tenantId] \\
  --set collector.integrationId=[integrationId] \\
  --set collector.appUrl=[appUrl] \\
  --set collector.integrationKey=$INTEGRATION_KEY
Example output:
Update Complete. ⎈Happy Helming!⎈
NAME: plerion-collector-manager
LAST DEPLOYED: Mon Nov 20 18:52:18 2023
NAMESPACE: plerion-system
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
When using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), you may encounter the following error: insufficient quota to match these scopes: [{PriorityClass In [system-node-critical system-cluster-critical]}].This happens because the collector manager is assigned the highest scheduling priority (system-cluster-critical).To resolve this, request a quota increase or unset the priorityClass using advanced options. Note that unsetting the priorityClass may affect availability.
