Chapter 5. Installing the Network Observer controller to enable console using YAML


You can use YAML to install the Network Observer controller and enable the console.

Prerequisites

  • cluster-admin access to a cluster.
  • For clusters other than OpenShift, you must use the Red Hat Service Interconnect Network Observer Operator.

Procedure

  1. Download YAML files, choose the latest Version for 2.2 at Software Downloads and download the Skupper deployments (yamls).
  2. Create a site, for example:

    $ skupper site create west
  3. Apply the Network Observer controller YAML:

    $ kubectl apply -f skupper-network-observer-openshift-2.2.1-rh.yaml
  4. Navigate to the console.

    For Kubernetes distributions other than OpenShift, expose the skupper-network-observer service. A skupper user is created and you can get the password using:

    $ kubectl --namespace <site-namespace> \
          get secret skupper-network-observer-auth \
          -o jsonpath='{.data.htpasswd}' | base64 -d | sed 's/\(.*\):{PLAIN}\(.*\)/\1 \2\n/'
