Kubernetes Agent

Ensure the following prerequisites are met before you install the agent software and deploy the Java Management Service plug-in on a Kubernetes cluster. The agent for Kubernetes will be displayed as Oracle Container Management Agent (OCMA).

Setup Kubernetes Environment

Verify that the following setup is in place:

• You have a host machine with network access to the Kubernetes cluster you want to monitor.
• The following tools are installed on your host machine:
  • kubectl – Kubernetes command-line tool
  • helm - Kubernetes package manager. See Installing Helm.
  • OCI CLI - Required for Oracle Kubernetes Engine clusters. Ensure that it is installed and configured with the appropriate OCI principal for accessing OCI services. See Command Line Interface (CLI).
• Your Kubernetes configuration (kubeconfig) is correctly set up.
  • Run kubectl get nodes to confirm connectivity to your target cluster.

See Using Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart for detailed procedure to configure and install the Helm chart.

Download OCI Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart

Make sure you follow these download instructions:

1. On your host machine, download and extract the latest release of the oci-onm-<version>.tgz file from OCI Kubernetes Monitoring GitHub releases page. Ensure the host has access to the target Kubernetes cluster to perform the Helm installation.
2. Copy the base64-encoded content of the input.rsp file.
