Kubernetes Agent with MS Powershell

The following section walks you through installing the Infrastructure Agent (Infra Agent) with Microsoft Powershell scripts. This method provides you the ability to install the Infra Agent using helm instead of manifest files.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Open Powershell Terminal

Set the MW_API_KEY and MW_TARGET environment variables:

$env:MW_API_KEY="<MW_API_KEY>"

$env:MW_TARGET = 'https://<MW_UID>.middleware.io:443'

Step 2: Install with Helm [Optional]

You have the option to install the Infra Agent with helm instead of using manifest files.

Set the following environment variable to use helm:

Powershell

Powershell

$env:MW_KUBE_AGENT_INSTALL_METHOD='helm'

Step 3: Install Infra Agent

Download the MW Kubernetes Install script and execute the following command:

Powershell

Powershell

.\mw-kube-agent-install-powershell.ps1

Troubleshooting

Once the Infra Agent is installed on your cluster metrics should begin appearing in the Middleware application within a few minutes. If metrics do not appear, confirm that Kubernetes has access to the internet, either directly or through a proxy, and that only one Infra Agent is running per cluster.

Uninstall

Download the MW Kubernetes Uninstall script and execute the following command:

Powershell

Powershell

.\mw-kube-agent-uninstall-powershell.ps1
