Deploy Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart

In this step of your journey, you deploy the Grafana Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart. When you deploy the Helm chart, the deployment creates Kubernetes resources such as Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Persistent Volume Claims (if configured), and other necessary objects to run Grafana in the cluster.

To deploy the Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Deploy Monitoring Resources on the Cluster section, click Helm.

  2. Turn off Enable Remote Configuration.

  3. Click the copy icon located in the upper right corner of the Helm chart manifest.

  4. Log into the machine where kubectl and Helm are installed and configured.

    Ensure you’re logged in as a user with the necessary permissions to deploy resources to the cluster.

  5. Open a terminal and run the command you copied from Grafana Cloud.

    When complete, you should see the following message: Grafana k8s-monitoring Helm chart deployed!

You can now explore Kubernetes Monitoring dashboards and alerts.

Note

It may take a few minutes for data to appear in your Kubernetes dashboards.
