Configure Kubernetes with a proxy

If you are running our Kubernetes integration with a proxy, you need to configure each component (the infrastructure agent, logging, Kubernetes events, etc.) to correctly work with your proxy.

Install the infrastructure agent with a proxy

There are three options to install the infrastructure agent with a proxy:

• Installing with chart newrelic-infrastructure:

  • The proxy can be configured setting the configuration option config.proxy as described in the values.yaml of the chart.
    The whole config object is used to generate a configMap that is mounted as the file /etc/newrelic-infra.yml used to configure the agent.

• Installing with chart nri-bundle as a dependency:

  • The proxy can be configured setting the configuration option newrelic-infrastructure.config.proxy. The configuration option is passed down to the dependency newrelic-infrastructure modifying the values.yaml of nri-bundle:

    newrelic-infrastructure.config.proxy: https://user:password@hostname:port

    Copy

• Installing with manifest:

  • When installing through the manifest, the proxy can be configured adding the NRIA_PROXY environment variable to the environment variable section of the DaemonSet configuration.
  • The environment variable NRIA_VERBOSE in the DaemonSet YAML can be used as an example of the environment variable configuration.

Set logging with a proxy

If you're using log forwarding for the Kubernetes integration, the plugin automatically detects the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables, and automatically uses them to set up the proxy configuration. For more information, see how to customize the proxy, or bypass it.

Install Kubernetes events with a proxy

There are three options to install the Kubernetes events integration with a proxy:

• Installing with chart nri-kube-events:

  • The proxy can be configured setting the configuration option proxy in the values.yaml file. If set, the variable NRIA_PROXY will be added into the deployment.yaml template.

• Installing with chart nri-bundle as a dependency:

  • The proxy can be configured setting the configuration option nri-kube-events.proxy. The configuration option is passed down to the dependency nri-kube-events modifying the values.yaml of nri-bundle:

    nri-kube-events.proxy: https://user:password@hostname:port

    Copy

• Installing with manifest:

  • When installing through the manifest, to configure the proxy set the NRIA_PROXY in the environment variable section of the infra container.
  • Check the deployment template of the chart as an example of environment variable configuration.

Install the Prometheus OpenMetrics integration with a proxy

There are three options to install the Prometheus OpenMetric integration with a proxy:

• Installing with charts nri-prometheus:

  • The proxy can be configured setting the configuration option config.emitter_proxy in the values.yaml.
    The config object is used to generate a configMap that mounted into the deployment under /etc/nri-prometheus/.

• Installing with chart nri-bundle as a dependency:

  • The proxy can be configured setting the configuration option nri-prometheus.config.emitter_proxy. The configuration option is passed down to the dependency nri-prometheus modifying the values.yaml of nri-bundle:

    nri-prometheus.config.emitter_proxy: "http://localhost:8888

    Copy

• Installing with the manifest:

  • Configure the proxy uncommenting the emitter_proxy option directly in the manifest yaml file:

    # Proxy to be used by the emitters when submitting metrics. It should be
    # in the format [scheme]://[domain]:[port].
    # The emitter is the component in charge of sending the scraped metrics.
    # This proxy won't be used when scraping metrics from the targets.
    # By default it's empty, meaning that no proxy will be used.
    # emitter_proxy: "http://localhost:8888"

    Copy
