Install the Logging operator

Caution: The master branch is under heavy development. Use releases instead of the master branch to get stable software.

Prerequisites 🔗︎

• Logging operator requires Kubernetes v1.14.x or later.
• For the Helm-based installation you need Helm v3.2.1 or later.

Deploy the Logging operator with One Eye 🔗︎

If you are using the One Eye observability tool, use the one-eye command line tool to install the Logging operator.

one-eye logging install

After that, you can configure your logging flows and outputs using the:

• One Eye web interface,
• one-eye command line tool, or
• declaratively using the Observer custom resource.

Deploy Logging operator with Helm 🔗︎

To install the Logging operator using Helm, complete these steps.

Note: For the Helm-based installation you need Helm v3.2.1 or later.

1. Add the chart repository of the Logging operator using the following commands:

   helm repo add banzaicloud-stable https://kubernetes-charts.banzaicloud.com
   helm repo update
   

2. Install the Logging operator.

   helm upgrade --install --wait --create-namespace --namespace logging logging-operator banzaicloud-stable/logging-operator
   

   You can install the logging resource with built-in TLS generation using the Helm chart.

Validate the deployment 🔗︎

To verify that the installation was successful, complete the following steps.

1. Check the status of the pods. You should see a new logging-operator pod.

   $ kubectl -n logging get pods
   NAME                                        READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   logging-logging-operator-599c9cf846-5nw2n   1/1     Running   0          52s
   

2. Check the CRDs. You should see the following five new CRDs.

   $  kubectl get crd
   NAME                                    CREATED AT
