To get started with Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline on Kubernetes, you’ll need to
install a Core Operator
in each Kubernetes cluster where you want to deploy pipelines.
Supported Kubernetes distributions
Telemetry Pipeline is compatible with the following distributions of Kubernetes:
- Open Source Kubernetes 1.25 or later
- Amazon Kubernetes Service (EKS)
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
- Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
- Red Hat Open Shift 4.0 or later
Installation steps
You can use Pipeline CLI or Helm to install a Core Operator in
a Kubernetes cluster.
When you install a Core Operator, only deploy a single replica.
If a Core Operator has multiple replicas, those replicas will conflict with one another.
-
Review the Telemetry Pipeline installation prerequisites.
-
Install or update
Pipeline CLI. Because Core Operator versions are dependent on your Pipeline CLI
version, keeping Pipeline CLI current ensures that you’re installing
the latest version of Core Operator.
-
If you haven’t already, set an API token in Pipeline CLI.
-
Ensure that the
KUBECONFIG
environment variable in your cluster is set to a valid configuration file.
-
Run the following command to install a Core Operator:
calyptia install operator
--kube-namespace command to set that Core
Operator’s namespace.
-
Repeat these steps for each Kubernetes cluster where you want to use Telemetry
Pipeline.
-
Review the Telemetry Pipeline installation prerequisites.
-
Ensure that Helm is installed and has a valid connection
to your target cluster.
-
Ensure that the
KUBECONFIG
environment variable in your cluster is set to a valid configuration file.
-
Run the following command to add the Telemetry Pipeline chart repository:
helm repo add calyptia https://helm.calyptia.com/
-
Run the following command to install the custom resource definitions (CRDs)
that Telemetry Pipeline relies on:
helm install core-crd calyptia/core-crd
--set global.imageRegistry='NAME' to this command. Replace NAME with
the name of your custom registry.
-
Run the following command to install Core Operator:
helm install core-operator calyptia/core-operator
-
Repeat these steps for each Kubernetes cluster where you want to use Telemetry
Pipeline.
View installation logs
After you install a Core Operator in a Kubernetes cluster, use the
following kubectl command to view logs from the installation process:
kubectl logs deploy/calyptia-core-controller-manager
Next steps
After you’ve installed a Core Operator in your Linux environment, you can
create a Core Instance in that environment.
