Apache SkyWalking Kubernetes
==========

SkyWalking Kubernetes repository provides ways to install and configure SkyWalking in a Kubernetes cluster.
The scripts are written in Helm 3.
# Chart Detailed Configuration
Chart detailed configuration can be found at [Chart Readme](./chart/skywalking/README.md)
There are required values that you must set explicitly when deploying SkyWalking.
| name | description | example |
| ---- | ----------- | ------- |
| `oap.image.tag` | the OAP docker image tag | `9.1.0` |
| `oap.storageType` | the storage type of the OAP | `elasticsearch`, `postgresql`, etc. |
| `oap.initEs` | need to initial ElasticSearch | `true`, `false` |
| `ui.image.tag` | the UI docker image tag | `9.1.0` |
You can set these required values via command line (e.g. `--set oap.image.tag=9.1.0 --set oap.storageType=elasticsearch`),
or edit them in a separate file(e.g. [`values.yaml`](chart/skywalking/values-es6.yaml), [`values-es7.yaml`](chart/skywalking/values-es7.yaml))
and use `-f ` or `--values=` to set them.
# Install
Let's set some variables for convenient use later.
```shell
export SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAME=skywalking # change the release name according to your scenario
export SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAMESPACE=default # change the namespace to where you want to install SkyWalking
```
## Install released version using Helm repository
```shell
export REPO=skywalking
helm repo add ${REPO} https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/skywalking-helm
helm install "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAME}" ${REPO}/skywalking -n "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAMESPACE}" \
--set oap.image.tag=9.1.0 \
--set oap.storageType=elasticsearch \
--set ui.image.tag=9.1.0 \
--set elasticsearch.imageTag=6.8.6
```
## Install development version using master branch
This is needed **only** when you want to install from master branch.
```shell script
export REPO=chart
git clone https://github.com/apache/skywalking-kubernetes
cd skywalking-kubernetes
helm repo add elastic https://helm.elastic.co
helm dep up ${REPO}/skywalking
```
## Install a specific version of SkyWalking & Elasticsearch
In theory, you can deploy all versions of SkyWalking that are >= 6.0.0-GA, by specifying the desired `oap.image.tag`/`ui.image.tag`.
Please note that some configurations that are added in the later versions of SkyWalking may not work in earlier versions, and thus if you
specify those configurations, they may take no effect.
here are some examples.
- Deploy SkyWalking 9.1.0 & Elasticsearch 6.8.6
```shell script
helm install "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAME}" ${REPO}/skywalking -n "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAMESPACE}" \
--set oap.image.tag=9.1.0 \
--set oap.storageType=elasticsearch \
--set ui.image.tag=9.1.0 \
--set elasticsearch.imageTag=6.8.6
```
- Deploy SkyWalking 9.1.0 & Elasticsearch 7.5.1
```shell script
helm install "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAME}" ${REPO}/skywalking -n "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAMESPACE}" \
--set oap.image.tag=9.1.0 \
--set oap.storageType=elasticsearch \
--set ui.image.tag=9.1.0 \
--set elasticsearch.imageTag=7.5.1
```
- Deploy SkyWalking 6.6.0 with Elasticsearch 7
**Note**: because SkyWalking OAP used 2 different Docker images for ElasticSearch 7 and ElasticSearch 6 in versions
prior to 8.8.0, you have to set the right image tag for the corresponding ElasticSearch version.
```shell script
helm install "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAME}" ${REPO}/skywalking -n "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAMESPACE}" \
--set oap.image.tag=6.6.0-es7 \
--set oap.storageType=elasticsearch7 \
--set ui.image.tag=6.6.0
```
- Deploy SkyWalking 6.5.0
```shell script
helm install "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAME}" ${REPO}/skywalking -n "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAMESPACE}" \
--set oap.image.tag=6.5.0 \
--set oap.storageType=elasticsearch \
--set ui.image.tag=6.5.0
```
## Install a specific version of SkyWalking with an existing Elasticsearch
Modify the connection information to the existing elasticsearch cluster in file [`values-my-es.yaml`](chart/skywalking/values-my-es.yaml).
```shell script
helm install "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAME}" ${REPO}/skywalking -n "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAMESPACE}" \
-f ./skywalking/values-my-es.yaml
```
## Install SkyWalking with Satellite
Enable the satellite as gateway, and set the satellite image tag.
```shell script
helm install "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAME}" ${REPO}/skywalking -n "${SKYWALKING_RELEASE_NAMESPACE}" \
--set satellite.enabled=true \
--set satellite.image.tag=v0.4.0
```
After satellite have been installed, you should replace the `oap` address to the `satellite` address, the address from agent or `istio`, such as `skywalking-satellite.istio-system:11800`.
## Customization
- Use your own configuration files
Put your own configuration files according to [the overridable files](chart/skywalking/files/conf.d/README.md) under the
working directory, `files/conf.d`, they will override the counterparts in the Docker image.
- Pass environment variables to OAP
The SkyWalking OAP exposes many configurations that can be specified by environment variables, as listed in [the main repo](https://github.com/apache/skywalking/blob/master/docs/en/setup/backend/configuration-vocabulary.md).
You can set those environment variables by `--set oap.env.=`, such as `--set oap.env.SW_ENVOY_METRIC_ALS_HTTP_ANALYSIS=k8s-mesh`.
> The environment variables take priority over the overrode configuration files.
