Install a Core Operator

As the first step of your Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline deployment, you must install a Core Operator. This installation process differs between Kubernetes and Linux.

Kubernetes

Installing a Core Operator in a Kubernetes cluster creates a Kubernetes operator (opens in a new tab) within that cluster.

You'll need to install a Core Operator in each cluster where you'd like to use Telemetry Pipeline. For example, if you have ten clusters, you must install ten Core Operators.

Linux

Installing a Core Operator on Linux automatically deploys a K3s cluster in your Linux environment, then creates a Core Operator within that cluster.

You'll need to install a Core Operator in each Linux environment where you'd like to use Telemetry Pipeline. For example, if you have ten Linux virtual machines, you must install ten Core Operators, and each of those Core Operators will run within its own dedicated k3s cluster.
