Install

You can have all the information about the installation in the New Relic Documentation page for installaing the Kubernetes integration using Helm

Just as a glance of the process of installation and configuration the process involves to create a values.yaml that will look like this:

global:
  licenseKey: YOUR_LICENSE_KEY
  cluster: YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME
nri-kube-events:
  enabled: true
nri-metadata-injection:
  enabled: true
nri-prometheus:
  enabled: true
newrelic-logging:
  enabled: true
k8s-agents-operator:
  enabled: true
kube-state-metrics:
  enabled: true

Add the official repository:

helm repo add newrelic https://helm-charts.newrelic.com

Then, run helm upgrade:

helm upgrade --install newrelic-bundle newrelic/nri-bundle -f your-custom-values.yaml

You can find a list of all the global values in the nri-bundle's README. There you can find also links to the values of all the subcharts.

Examples

The following example installs the nri-bundle chart, which groups multiple New Relic charts into one. nri-bundle contains:

Upgrading to the new version of KSM

You can find additional information on how to upgrade to the new version of KSM in the New Relic Documentation page for Kubernetes Compatibility and Requirements

Development

You can use the Helm CLI to develop a chart and add it to this repository.

Clone this repository on your local machine.
Add or modify the files for the desired chart.
To install the chart locally, run helm install dev-chart charts/<YOUR_CHART>
Verify that the chart works as expected.
Remove the installed chart with helm uninstall dev-chart.
Create your pull request and follow the instructions below.

Feel free to add different values to the chart.

Automated version bumps

This repository uses Renovate to automatically bump dependencies. It currently supports updating dependencies on nri-bundle whenever an individual chart gets released.

Unfortunately, renovate does not support yet updating appVersion, nor image.tag entries in values.yaml.
