# Sysdig
[Sysdig](https://sysdig.com/) is a unified platform for container and microservices monitoring, troubleshooting, security and forensics. Sysdig platform has been built on top of [Sysdig tool](https://sysdig.com/opensource/sysdig/) and [Sysdig Inspect](https://sysdig.com/blog/sysdig-inspect/) open-source technologies.
## Introduction
This chart adds the Sysdig agent for [Sysdig Monitor](https://sysdig.com/product/monitor/) and [Sysdig Secure](https://sysdig.com/product/secure/) to all nodes in your cluster via a DaemonSet.
## Prerequisites
- Kubernetes 1.2+ with Beta APIs enabled
## Installing the Chart
To install the chart with the release name `my-release`, retrieve your Sysdig Monitor Access Key from your [Account Settings](https://app.sysdigcloud.com/#/settings/agentInstallation) and run:
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release --set sysdig.accessKey=YOUR-KEY-HERE stable/sysdig
```
After a few seconds, you should see hosts and containers appearing in Sysdig Monitor and Sysdig Secure.
> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`
## Uninstalling the Chart
To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:
```bash
$ helm delete my-release
```
> **Tip**: Use helm delete --purge my-release to completely remove the release from Helm internal storage
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 Sysdig chart and their default values.
| Parameter | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `image.registry` | Sysdig agent image registry | `docker.io` |
| `image.repository` | The image repository to pull from | `sysdig/agent` |
| `image.tag` | The image tag to pull | `0.89.5` |
| `image.pullPolicy` | The Image pull policy | `IfNotPresent` |
| `image.pullSecrets` | Image pull secrets | `nil` |
| `resources.requests.cpu` | CPU requested for being run in a node | `100m` |
| `resources.requests.memory` | Memory requested for being run in a node | `512Mi` |
| `resources.limits.cpu` | CPU limit | `200m` |
| `resources.limits.memory` | Memory limit | `1024Mi` |
| `rbac.create` | If true, create & use RBAC resources | `true` |
| `serviceAccount.create` | Create serviceAccount | `true` |
| `serviceAccount.name` | Use this value as serviceAccountName | ` ` |
| `daemonset.updateStrategy.type` | The updateStrategy for updating the daemonset | `RollingUpdate` |
| `ebpf.enabled` | Enable eBPF support for Sysdig instead of `sysdig-probe` kernel module | `false` |
| `ebpf.settings.mountEtcVolume` | Needed to detect which kernel version are running in Google COS | `true` |
| `sysdig.accessKey` | Your Sysdig Monitor Access Key | `Nil` You must provide your own key |
| `sysdig.settings` | Settings for agent's configuration file | `{}` |
| `secure.enabled` | Enable Sysdig Secure | `false` |
| `customAppChecks` | The custom app checks deployed with your agent | `{}` |
| `tolerations` | The tolerations for scheduling | `node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule` |
Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release \
--set sysdig.accessKey=YOUR-KEY-HERE,sysdig.settings.tags="role:webserver,location:europe" \
stable/sysdig
```
Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/sysdig
```
> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)
## On-Premise backend deployment settings
Sysdig platform backend can be also deployed On-Premise in your own infrastructure.
Installing the agent using the Helm chart is also possible in this scenario, and you can enable it with the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `sysdig.settings.collector` | The IP address or hostname of the collector | ` ` |
| `sysdig.settings.collector_port` | The port where collector is listening | ` `
| `sysdig.settings.ssl` | The collector accepts SSL | `true` |
| `sysdig.settings.ssl_verify_certificate` | Set to false if you don't want to verify SSL certificate | `true` |
For example:
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release \
--set sysdig.accessKey=YOUR-KEY-HERE \
--set sysdig.settings.collector=42.32.196.18 \
--set sysdig.settings.collector_port=6443 \
--set sysdig.settings.ssl_verify_certificate=false \
stable/sysdig
```
## Using private Docker image registry
If you pull the Sysdig agent Docker image from a private registry that requires authentication, some additional configuration is required.
First, create a secret that stores the registry credentials:
```bash
$ kubectl create secret docker-registry SECRET_NAME \
--docker-server=SERVER \
--docker-username=USERNAME \
--docker-password=TOKEN \
--docker-email=EMAIL
```
Then, point to this secret in the values YAML file:
```yaml
sysdig:
accessKey: YOUR-KEY-HERE
image:
registry: myrepo.mydomain.tld
repository: sysdig-agent
tag: latest-tag
pullSecrets:
- name: SECRET_NAME
```
Finally, set the accessKey value and you are ready to deploy the Sysdig agent
using the Helm chart:
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/sysdig
```
You can read more details about this in [Kubernetes Documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/pull-image-private-registry/).
## Modifying Sysdig agent configuration
The Sysdig agent uses a file called `dragent.yaml` to store the configuration.
Using the Helm chart, the default configuration settings can be updated using `sysdig.settings` either via `--set sysdig.settings.key = value` or in the values YAML file. For example, to eanble Prometheus metrics scraping, you need this in your `values.yaml` file::
```yaml
sysdig:
accessKey: YOUR-KEY-HERE
settings:
prometheus:
enabled: true
histograms: true
```
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/sysdig
```
## Upgrading Sysdig agent configuration
If you need to upgrade the agent configuration file, first modify the YAML file (in this case we are increasing the metrics limit scraping Prometheus metrics):
```yaml
sysdig:
accessKey: YOUR-KEY-HERE
settings:
prometheus:
enabled: true
histograms: true
max_metrics: 2000
max_metrics_per_process: 400
```
And then, upgrade Helm chart with:
```bash
$ helm upgrade my-release -f values.yaml stable/sysdig
```
## Adding custom AppChecks
[Application checks](https://sysdigdocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Monitor/pages/204767363/) are integrations that allow the Sysdig agent to collect metrics exposed by specific services. Sysdig has several built-in AppChecks, but sometimes you might need to [create your own](https://sysdigdocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Monitor/pages/204767436/).
Your own AppChecks can deployed with the Helm chart embedding them in the values YAML file:
```yaml
customAppChecks:
sample.py: |-
from checks import AgentCheck
class MyCustomCheck(AgentCheck):
def check(self, instance):
self.gauge("testhelm", 1)
sysdig:
accessKey: YOUR-KEY-HERE
settings:
app_checks:
- name: sample
interval: 10
pattern: # pattern to match the application
comm: myprocess
conf:
mykey: myvalue
```
The first section, dumps the AppCheck in a Kubernetes configmap and makes it available within the Sysdig agent container. The second, configures it on the `dragent.yaml` file.
Once the values YAML file is ready, we will deploy the Chart like before:
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/sysdig
```
### Automating the generation of custom-app-checks.yaml file
Sometimes editing and maintaining YAML files can be a bit cumbersome and error prone, so we have created a script for automating this process and make your life easier.
Imagine that you have custom AppChecks for a number of services like Redis, MongoDB and Traefik.
You have already a `values.yaml` with just your configuration:
```yaml
sysdig:
accessKey: YOUR-KEY-HERE
settings:
app_checks:
- name: myredis
[...]
- name: mymongo
[...]
- name: mytraefik
[...]
```
You can generate an additional values YAML file with the custom AppChecks:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/charts.git
$ cd stable/sysdig
$ ./scripts/appchecks2helm appChecks/solr.py appChecks/traefik.py appChecks/nats.py > custom-app-checks.yaml
```
And deploy the Chart with both of them:
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release -f custom-app-checks.yaml -f values.yaml stable/sysdig
```
