Prerequisites
Before installing Castrel, ensure you have:
- Kubernetes cluster v1.22+
- Helm 3.0 installed
- Admin access to your monitoring endpoints
•Installation
Run the following command in your terminal:
helm install castrel-agent cloudwise/castrel --set apiKey=YOUR_KEY
This will deploy the agent as a DaemonSet across your cluster.
Technical Insight
Ensure your network environment allows outbound traffic on ports 443 and 8080 for real-time telemetry syncing between agents and the reasoning engine.
•Verification
Check the status of the pod to ensure the agent is capturing telemetry. You should see "Active" status in the Cloudwise console within 5 minutes.
Checking Pod Status
kubectl get pods -n castrel-system
