Configure Host on Kubernetes

[aldafu]

When having the agent deployed through Helm (as described here: https://github.com/instana/instana-helm-chart) what's the best way to configure the agentHost setting? The default localhost won't do since that is local to the pod and the agent is running in a different pod on the same node.

I've since found https://support.instana.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014430212-Agent-Connection-error-resolution-for-node-js-sensor

And included the following for my deployment:

spec:
  containers:
      env:
        - name: INSTANA_AGENT_HOST
          valueFrom:
            fieldRef:
              fieldPath: status.hostIP

The env var is set correctly in the container, but in the log for my process I find:

{"name":"instana-nodejs-sensor","hostname":"supervisor-deployment-77f5fcc979-wd9lb","pid":1,"module":"agentHostLookup","level":30,"msg":"Attempting agent communication via 10.240.0.10:42699","time":"2018-10-19T14:05:39.465Z","v":0}

Example request against with curl 10.240.0.10:42699 return: {"version":"1.1.458"}

What is missing?

After a while the sensor will switch from unannounced to announced and then it works.
