heartbeat

heartbeat is a lightweight daemon that periodically check the status of your services and determine whether they are available.

Introduction

This chart deploys heartbeat agents to all the nodes in your cluster via a DaemonSet.

By default this chart only ships a single output to a file on the local system. Users should set config.output.file.enabled=false and configure their own outputs as documented

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.9+

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release, run:

$ helm install --name my-release stable/heartbeat

After a few minutes, you should see service statuses being written to the configured output, which is a log file inside the heartbeat container.

Tip

: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the heartbeat chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
image.repository	The image repository to pull from	docker.elastic.co/beats/heartbeat
image.tag	The image tag to pull	6.7.0
image.pullPolicy	Image pull policy	IfNotPresent
rbac.create	If true, create & use RBAC resources	true
rbac.serviceAccount	existing ServiceAccount to use (ignored if rbac.create=true)	default
config	The content of the configuration file consumed by heartbeat. See the heartbeat documentation for full details
plugins	List of beat plugins
hostNetwork	If true, use hostNetwork	false
extraVars	A map of additional environment variables
extraVolumes, extraVolumeMounts	Additional volumes and mounts, for example to provide other configuration files

resources.limits.cpu	CPU resource limits
resources.requests.memory	Memory resource requests
resources.limits.memory	Memory resource limits

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release \
    --set rbac.create=true \
    stable/heartbeat

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/heartbeat

Tip

: You can use the default values.yaml
