DEPRECATION NOTICE

This chart is deprecated and no longer supported.

This Helm chart is deprecated

Given the stable deprecation timeline, the New Relic infrastructure integration chart is now located at newrelic/helm-charts.

New Relic will continue providing the same cadence of updates, support, etc that we've been keeping here these years. Installation instructions are very similar, just adding the newrelic repo and using it during the installation (newrelic/<chart> instead of stable/<chart>).

$ helm repo add newrelic https://helm-charts.newrelic.com
$ helm install my-release newrelic/<chart>           # Helm 3
$ helm install --name my-release newrelic/<chart>    # Helm 2

To update an exisiting stable deployment with a chart hosted in the New Relic repository you can execute:

$ helm repo add newrelic https://helm-charts.newrelic.com
$ helm upgrade my-release newrelic/<chart>

Issues and PRs related to the chart itself will be redirected to newrelic/charts GitHub repository.

--set cluster=my-k8s-cluster

Globals

Important: global parameters have higher precedence than locals with the same name.

These are meant to be used when you are writing a chart with subcharts. It helps to avoid setting values multiple times on different subcharts.

More information on globals and subcharts can be found at Helm's official documentation.

Parameter
global.cluster
global.licenseKey
global.customSecretName
global.customSecretLicenseKey

Resources

The default set of resources assigned to the pods is shown below:

resources:
  limits:
    memory: 150M
  requests:
    cpu: 100m
    memory: 30M

Tolerations

The default set of relations assigned to our daemonset is shown below:

- operator: "Exists"
  effect: "NoSchedule"
- operator: "Exists"
  effect: "NoExecute"

Config file

If you wish to provide your own newrelic.yml you may do so under config. There are a few notable exceptions you should be aware of. Some options have been omitted because they are handled either by variables, or a secret. They are display_name, license_key, log_file and verbose.
