Installing LM Container Chart using CLI
Last updated on 19 April, 2023In the LM Container Chart, the Helm charts are combined into high-order umbrella charts, which makes the installation and upgradation process easy.
Note: We recommend using the LM Container Chart for installing Argus and Collectorset-Controller on your cluster.
Requirements
- Install Helm to use the charts. For more information, see the Helm documentation.
- Ensure you have administrator access to the LogicMonitor account.
Installing LM Container Chart
1. Add the LM Container Chart repository using the following command:
helm repo add logicmonitor https://logicmonitor.github.io/helm-charts.
Note: If you have previously added the LM Container Chart repository, you must update the repository with the latest Helm charts by using the command:
helm repo update logicmonitor
2. Select the desired Helm chart version for installation using the following steps:
- To load and select the required LM Container Chart version, run the following command:
helm repo update logicmonitor - To check the current version of the LM Container Chart, run the following command:
helm search repo -r logicmonitor/lm-container
Note:
- Use option -l to list all versions if you want to select the previous version
- Use –devel option to list early access version
3. Define the version criteria using the selected version by applying the following rules.
For example, you have selected 1.0.0:
| Version Criteria | Rule |
| 1 | Automatically rolls out new versions with newly added features and fixes. |
| 1.0 | Automatically rolls out only the fixed versions and not the newly added features. |
| 1.0.0 | Rolls out new versions manually. |
4. To install or upgrade LM Container Chart, run the following command:
helm upgrade --install --debug --wait --namespace="logicmonitor" --create-namespace -f ./lm-container-configuration.yaml lm-container --version "<version-criteria>" logicmonitor/lm-container
For more information on the list of values and their descriptions used in the lm-container-configuration.yaml file, see “Configuration Parameters” section in Installing the LM Container Helm Chart.
Note:If the Helm upgrade command timeouts while waiting on deployment pods to become ready, then you can add –timeout option to the Helm upgrade command with a duration of more than 5 minutes and run the command again. For example, –timeout=10m.
5. Once the LM Container Helm chart installs successfully, verify if newly created Kubernetes resources are getting discovered in LogicMonitor and have started collecting metrics.
Note: You can migrate old configurations to LM Container Charts. For more information, see Migrating Existing Kubernetes Clusters Using LM Container Helm Chart.
