Chart Detailed Configuration

chart detailed configuration please read Chart Readme

Deploy SkyWalking and Elasticsearch 7 (default)

$ cd chart

$ helm repo add elastic https://helm.elastic.co

$ helm dep up skywalking

$ helm install <release_name> skywalking -n <namespace>

Note: If you want to deploy Elasticsearch 6, execute the following command

$ helm dep up skywalking

$ helm install <release_name> skywalking -n <namespace> --values ./skywalking/values-es6.yaml

Only deploy SkyWalking ,and use existing Elasticsearch

If not want to deploy a new elasticsearch cluster, this way can be solved.

Only need to close the elasticsearch deployed by chart default and configure the existing elasticsearch connection method.

$ cd chart

$ helm repo add elastic https://helm.elastic.co

$ helm dep up skywalking

$ helm install <release_name> skywalking -n <namespace> \
        --set elasticsearch.enabled=false \
        --set elasticsearch.config.host=<es_host> \
        --set elasticsearch.config.port.http=<es_port> \
        --set elasticsearch.config.user=<es_user> \
        --set elasticsearch.config.password=<es_password> 

Note: You need to make sure your ES cluster version is 7.x , If your cluster version is 6.x, execute the following command

$ helm dep up skywalking

$ helm install <release_name> skywalking -n <namespace> \
        --values ./skywalking/values-es6.yaml \
        --set elasticsearch.enabled=false \
        --set elasticsearch.config.host=<es_host> \
        --set elasticsearch.config.port.http=<es_port> \
        --set elasticsearch.config.user=<es_user> \
        --set elasticsearch.config.password=<es_password>
