Sematext Agent

Sematext Agent collects metrics about hosts (CPU, memory, disk, network, processes), containers (both Docker and rkt) and orchestrator platforms and ships that to Sematext Cloud. Sematext Cloud is available in the US and EU regions.

Introduction

This chart installs the Sematext Agent to all nodes in your cluster via a DaemonSet resource.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.9+
• You need to create a new Docker app in Sematext Cloud to get relevant tokens

Installation

To install the chart run the following command:

$ helm install --name release_name \
    --set containerToken=YOUR_CONTAINER_TOKEN,logseneToken=YOUR_LOGS_TOKEN stable/sematext-agent

After a few minutes, you should see logs, metrics, and events reported in Sematext web UI.

NOTE: If you want to use Sematext in EU region set the region as well --set region=EU. Also, it is worth mentioning that the agent is running as a privileged container.

Deleting

To uninstall the chart delete release_name deployment:

$ helm delete --purge release_name

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