Kubernetes Reporter Helm Chart

k8s-reporter

A Helm chart for installing the Kosli K8S reporter as a cronjob. The chart allows you to create a Kubernetes cronjob and all its necessary RBAC to report running images to Kosli at a given cron schedule.

Prerequisites

• A Kubernetes cluster (minimum supported version is v1.21)
• Helm v3.0+
• If you want to report artifacts from just one namespace, you need to have permissions to get and list pods in that namespace.
• If you want to report artifacts from multiple namespaces or entire cluster, you need to have cluster-wide permissions to get and list pods.

Installing the chart

To install this chart via the Helm chart repository:

1. Add the Kosli helm repo

helm repo add kosli https://charts.kosli.com/ && helm repo update

2. Create a secret for the Kosli API token

kubectl create secret generic kosli-api-token --from-literal=key=<your-api-key>

3. Install the helm chart

A. To report artifacts running in entire cluster (requires cluster-wide read permissions):

helm install kosli-reporter kosli/k8s-reporter \
    --set reporterConfig.kosliOrg=<your-org> \
    --set reporterConfig.kosliEnvironmentName=<your-env-name>

B. To report artifacts running in multiple namespaces (requires cluster-wide read permissions):

helm install kosli-reporter kosli/k8s-reporter \
    --set reporterConfig.kosliOrg=<your-org> \
    --set reporterConfig.kosliEnvironmentName=<your-env-name> \
    --set reporterConfig.namespaces=<namespace1,namespace2>

C. To report artifacts running in one namespace (requires namespace-scoped read permissions):

helm install kosli-reporter kosli/k8s-reporter \
    --set reporterConfig.kosliOrg=<your-org> \
    --set reporterConfig.kosliEnvironmentName=<your-env-name> \
    --set reporterConfig.namespaces=<namespace1> \
    --set serviceAccount.permissionScope=namespace
