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
kubeEvents:
  enabled: true
webhook:
  enabled: true
prometheus:
  enabled: true
logging:
  enabled: true
ksm:
  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:

• New Relic's Kubernetes integration
• New Relic's Kubernetes plugin for logs
• New Relic's Prometheus OpenMetrics integration
• Metadata injection webhook
• Kube state metrics

Development

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

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

Feel free to add different values to the chart.

Automated version bumps

This repository is configured to accept webhook requests to bump chart versions. Upon receiving a version bump request, a GitHub Action generates a pull request with the requested changes. The pull request must still be merged manually.

This is still used by charts/synthetics-minion #729

Unless we want to "deprecate" it by removing the docs @kang-makes

A GitHub Personal Access Token for this repository is required. If you have the token, execute the following POST request (tailor client_payload to your needs):

chart_name: (required) Name of the helm chart to be bumped. chart_version: (optional) If specified the chart version will be set with this value. If left empty the patch version of the chart will be bumped by 1, e.g: 1.2.19 -> 1.2.20 app_version: (required) Version of the application.

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.everest-preview+json" \
     -H "Authorization: token <PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     --request POST \
     --data '{"event_type": "bump-chart-version", "client_payload": { "chart_name": "simple-nginx", "chart_version": "1.2.3", "app_version": "1.45.7"}}' \
     https://api.github.com/repos/newrelic/helm-charts/dispatches

Notice the sample client_payload object in the request body: the request generates a pull request for the simple-nginx chart to update app_version to 1.45.7 and chart_version to 1.2.3.
