Validate Helm release

Steps to validate Helm release

Check Helm release status

Confirm that the Helm release deployed successfully:

helm status plerion-collector-manager -n plerion-system

Example output:

NAME: plerion-collector-manager
LAST DEPLOYED: Tue Nov 21 09:18:00 2023
NAMESPACE: plerion-system
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1

Verify collector manager pods are running

Ensure the pods are in the Running state and not stuck in Pending or CrashLoopBackOff:

kubectl get pods -n plerion-system

Example output:

NAME                                         READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
plerion-collector-manager-ccbc55c5d-dr27w    1/1     Running   0          10m
plerion-collector-manager-ccbc55c5d-x255n    1/1     Running   0          10m

Common issues

CrashLoopBackOff: Inspect pod logs for configuration or dependency errors.
kubectl logs <pod-name> -n plerion-system
Pending: Check node resources and pod scheduling constraints (e.g., CPU/memory, nodeSelector, or taints).

Confirm tenant and integration IDs

Verify that the values in the collector manager secret match those shown on the Plerion platform:

TENANT_ID: Settings page
INTEGRATION_ID: Kubernetes integration page

To view the secret values:

Running this command will display secrets in plain text. Use with caution.

kubectl get secret plerion-collector-manager -n plerion-system \
  -o go-template='{{range $key, $value := .data}}{{printf "%s: %s\n" $key ($value | base64decode )}}{{end}}'

Example output:

INTEGRATION_ID: [redacted]
INTEGRATION_KEY: [redacted]
TENANT_ID: [redacted]

To view the applied configmap:

kubectl get configmap plerion-collector-manager -n plerion-system \\
  -o go-template='{{range $key, $value := .data}}{{printf "%s: %s\\n" $key $value }}{{end}}'

Example output:
