Cloudwatch exporter

• Installs cloudwatch exporter

TL;DR;

$ helm install stable/prometheus-cloudwatch-exporter

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a cloudwatch exporter deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

• kube2iam installed to used the aws.role config option otherwise configure aws.aws_access_key_id and aws.aws_secret_access_key or aws.secret.name

Installing the Chart

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

$ # pass AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY as values
$ helm install --name my-release stable/prometheus-cloudwatch-exporter --set aws.aws_access_key_id=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,aws.aws_secret_access_key=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

$ # or store them in a secret and pass its name as a value
$ kubectl create secret generic <SECRET_NAME> --from-literal=access_key=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --from-literal=secret_key=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
$ helm install --name my-release stable/prometheus-cloudwatch-exporter --set aws.secret.name=<SECRET_NAME>

$ # or add a role to aws with the [correct policy](https://github.com/prometheus/cloudwatch_exporter#credentials-and-permissions) to add to cloud watch and pass its name as a value
$ helm install --name my-release stable/prometheus-cloudwatch-exporter --set awsRole=<ROLL_NAME>

The command deploys Cloudwatch exporter on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

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.
