Install Tracetest Agent with Helm​

The main chart for this repository is called tracetest-agent and contains all components necessary to run Tracetest Agent in a cluster that fits the deployment architecture.

Terminal
helm repo add tracetestcloud https://kubeshop.github.io/tracetest-cloud-charts --force-update  && \

helm install <release-name> -n <namespace> tracetestcloud/tracetest-agent \
--set agent.apiKey=<TRACETEST_API_KEY> --set agent.environmentId=<TRACETEST_ENVIRONMENT_ID>

If you use agent as the <release-name> with this installation, the trace ingestion endpoints will be:

gRPC: http://agent-tracetest-agent:4317

HTTP: http://agent-tracetest-agent:4318/v1/traces

Configuration​
