Installing Agent for Hosted Kubecost (Alpha)

The kubecost-agent is a version of the kubecost metric exporter that runs as a primary transport of data into hosted kubecost. In order to install the kubecost-agent, you will need a specific storage key provided by the kubecost team.

The name of the storage key file provided by the kubecost team will have the name kubecost-agent.key

Installation From Helm

  1. Add the kubecost helm repository:
helm repo add kubecost https://kubecost.github.io/cost-analyzer/
  1. The following will install the kubecost agent and required components using the provided kubecost-agent.key (ensure the key file is in the current file directory):
helm install kubecost kubecost/cost-analyzer \
  --namespace kubecost \
  --values=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubecost/cost-analyzer-helm-chart/develop/cost-analyzer/values-agent.yaml \
  --set kubecostToken="bWJvbHQzNUBnbWFpbC5jb20=xm343yadf98" \
  --set prometheus.server.global.external_labels.cluster_id=<unique cluster identifier> \
  --set kubecostProductConfigs.clusterName=<custom cluster name> \
  --set-file agentKey="kubecost-agent.key"

This step will install:

  • kubecost-agent Deployment and service
  • prometheus-server Deployment and service
  • node-exporter DaemonSet

Optionally, the --set networkCosts.enabled=true can be used during the helm install to include the kubecost-network-costs DaemonSet. Learn more

For multicluster setups, all additional cluster installs would use the following install command:

helm install kubecost kubecost/cost-analyzer \
  --namespace kubecost \
  --values=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubecost/cost-analyzer-helm-chart/develop/cost-analyzer/values-agent.yaml \
  --set kubecostToken="bWJvbHQzNUBnbWFpbC5jb20=xm343yadf98" \
  --set prometheus.server.global.external_labels.cluster_id=<unique cluster identifier> \
  --set kubecostProductConfigs.clusterName=<custom cluster name> \
  --set kubecostMetrics.exporter.exportClusterInfo=false \
  --set kubecostMetrics.exporter.exportClusterCache=false \
  --set-file agentKey="kubecost-agent.key"
  1. Confirm with Kubecost team on successful deployment, which will then provide an endpoint http://<your-organization>.kubecost.io which can be used to access all exported data.
