Hi Martin,
I switched to k8s_sensor which solved the requests and limits specification problem. Thanks
Also I discovered that pullSecrets in the Instana_agent section works for k8s_sensor. This is a practical solution, however not documented and bad style from my point of view.
Anyway: issue solved. Ticket can be closed.
In the meantime, if you want to use pullSecrets with the k8sensor, you can still generate a YAML out of Helm with:
helm template --dry-run
and then apply the change manually, just as a workaround.
Hi Andreas!
We are working on the migration documentation and to remove the leader elector from the Helm chart. The k8sensor should be already the default, if it's not the case, please, let me know.
Let me check about secrets and come back to you.
Furthermore, the image for k8sensor does not contain pullSecrets yet! So how can we use our own proxy repository?
Hi Martin, are you saying that the k8sensor replaces the leader elector? But in the helm chart https://github.com/instana/helm-charts/blob/main/instana-agent/values.yaml the leader elector is still there, consuming ressources.
So how is it expected to migrate from leader elector to k8sensor? Do you recommend to just remove the leader elector and add the k8sensor? Is there any documentation on this?
Hello Andreas!
The new k8sensor runs in a different Pod than the agent (not leader election involved anymore) and allows to define specific requests and limits for CPU and Memory.
