Installation

For installation instructions, refer to our docs.

Helm chart

You can install this chart using directly from this repository or by adding the Helm repository:

helm repo add nr-operator https://newrelic.github.io/newrelic-k8s-operator && helm repo update
helm upgrade --install nr-operator nr-operator/newrelic-k8s-operator -f your-custom-values.yaml

For further information of the configuration needed for the chart, you can follow the configuration specified in the nri-bundle chart. Please make sure global.licenseKey is specified.

Development flow

This project uses a Makefile for the most common use cases.

When updating the NewRelic CRD, you should add or modify fields and types to api/v1alpha1/newrelic_types.go. After editing the file, make sure to run the following to update the CRD YAML and generated API files:

make manifests
make generate

To update the Helm charts templates, run:

make helm IMG=<registry>/newrelic-operator:<version>

Running locally

The easiest way to get started is using the commands in the Makefile and Minikube.

Follow these steps to run this project:

• Ensure Minikube is running

$ minikube status
host: Running
kubelet: Running
apiserver: Running
kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at 192.168.x.x

docker build -t <registry>/newrelic-operator:0.0.1 .
docker push <registry>/newrelic-operator:0.0.1
make deploy <registry>/newrelic-operator:0.0.1

This will deploy the necessary service accounts, RBAC policies, and deployment necessary for the operator to run. The operator will be running in the newrelic-operator-system namespace. You can then deploy the sample CRDs. Before doing so, make sure to update the licenseKey with your own in config/samples/minimal_nribundle.yaml:

kubectl apply -f config/samples/newrelic_v1alpha1_newrelic.yaml
kubectl apply -f config/samples/minimal_nribundle.yaml

To clean up:

make undeploy
