Use the sysdig-deploy parent chart to deploy the Sysdig Agent and any other subcomponents. Do not deploy subcharts directly.

To deploy the Sysdig Agent, follow the installation instructions given on the Sysdig Documentation website:

• Install Sysdig Agent in an Airgapped Environment

Verify the Integrity and Origin

Sysdig Helm Charts are signed so you can verify the integrity and origin of each chart. To verify the chart:

Import the Public Key

$ curl -o "/tmp/sysdig_public.gpg" "https://charts.sysdig.com/public.gpg"
$ gpg --import /tmp/sysdig_public.gpg

Verify the Chart

To check the integrity and the origin of the charts you can now append the --verify flag to the install, upgrade, and pull helm commands.

Configuration

You can use the Helm chart to update the default agent configurations by using either of the following:

• Using the key-value pair: --set sysdig.settings.key = value
• values.yaml file

Using the Key-Value Pair

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to the helm installcommand.

For example:

$ helm install --namespace sysdig-agent sysdig-agent \
    --set sysdig.accessKey=<YOUR-ACCESS-KEY>,sysdig.settings.tags="role:webserver\,location:europe" \
    sysdig/agent

Using values.yaml

The values.yaml file specifies the values for the agent configuration parameters. You can add the configuration to the values.yaml file, then use it in the helm install command.

For example, to enable Prometheus metrics scraping:

1. Add the following to the values.yaml file:

   sysdig:
     accessKey: <YOUR-ACCESS-KEY>
     settings:
       prometheus:
         enabled: true
         histograms: true
   

   Tip: You can use the default values.yaml file.

2. Run the following:

   helm install --namespace sysdig-agent sysdig-agent -f values.yaml sysdig/agent
