Panopta Kubernetes Integration

Prerequisites

• A Kubernetes cluster configured with kubectl
• Helm installed locally

Resource Requirements

This chart comes with three default deployment sizes: small, medium, and large
You can specify any upon installation using for example --set size=large
You can also override any individual request using --set onsightRequests.<resource>=<value> where <resource> is cpu, memory, or ephemeral

Size	Suggested # of Pods	Requested OnSight CPUs	Requested OnSight Memory	Requested OnSight Ephemeral Storage
small	< 500	1.0	1Gi	10Gi
medium	500-2000	2.0	2Gi	20Gi
large	>2000	3.0	3Gi	50Gi

Deploying Panopta

Note: See above for determining size. The default is medium. Note: If your cluster already has metrics-server installed, you can disable its installation (described below).

1. Add this Helm repo using helm repo add panopta https://panopta.github.io/kubernetes/repo
2. Install Panopta using helm install --set customer_key=<your-customer-key> --set size=<size> <name-of-release> panopta/panopta

In a few minutes, your cluster should show up in the Panopta control panel.

A Note on metrics-server

The chart will install metrics-server by default. If you already have metrics-server installed in your cluster, you can skip it with --set metricsServer.install=false

Advanced configuration

If you wish to further customize your Panopta deployment, you can pass additional options to the install command by adding one to many
--set <key>=<value>
to the install command.
Below is a table of available configuration options.
You can also specify such options in a YAML-formatted values.yaml file which you can then pass along to the install command with -f values.yaml

Configuration Options

Key Name	Default	Description
customer_key	None (Required)	Your Panopta customer key
size	medium	Size of the cluster you are deploying to
clusterName	Kubernetes Cluster	The name of this cluster as it will show up in the controlpanel
metricsServer.install	true	Whether to install metrics-server as part of the deployment. Set to false if it’s already installed.
topNNamespaces	0	Number of namespaces to pull in, ordered by number of pods. 0 to include all.
onsightRequests.cpu	None	Requested CPU for the Panopta OnSight
onsightRequests.memory	None	Requested Memory for the Panopta OnSight
onsightRequests.ephemeral	None	Requested Ephemeral Storage for the Panopta OnSight
agent_config	None	Any additional blocks of configuration to deploy onto the nodes’ agents

Upgrading Panopta

1. Fetch the new chart using helm repo update
2. Upgrade your deployment using helm upgrade <deployment name> panopta/panopta

Uninstalling Panopta

Run helm uninstall <release_name>

You can find the name of the release with helm ls
