Install Telemetry Pipeline using Pipeline CLI

You can use Pipeline CLI to install and manage Core Operator and Core Instance in your Kubernetes clusters.

Prerequisites

Complete the following steps before you begin:

• Generate an API token to authenticate with Chronosphere. See authenticate with Chronosphere for instructions on generating an API token.

• Update Pipeline CLI. Because Core Instance versions are dependent on your Pipeline CLI version, the latest version of Pipeline CLI installs the latest version of Core Instance.

Install Telemetry Pipeline

Requires Pipeline CLI version 1.3.8 or later.

1. Review the Telemetry Pipeline installation prerequisites.

2. Run the following command to authenticate with Telemetry Pipeline:

   calyptia config set_token TOKEN

   Replace TOKEN with your API token.

3. Run the following command to install Core Operator:

   calyptia install operator

4. Run the following command to create a new Core Instance:

   calyptia create core_instance operator --name INSTANCE

   Replace INSTANCE with the name you'd like to give your new Core Instance.

   Alternatively, to create a new Core Instance in a specific namespace, add the --kube-namespace flag:

   calyptia create core_instance operator --name INSTANCE --kube-namespace NAMESPACE

   Replace the following values:

   • INSTANCE: The name for your new Core Instance.
   • NAMESPACE: The namespace where you'd like to create your new Core Instance.

After you've created a Core Instance, you can configure its behavior and begin to route telemetry data.
