Create the necessary objects for OneAgent Operator.
OneAgent Operator acts on its separate namespace dynatrace. It holds the operator deployment and all dependent objects like permissions, custom resources and the corresponding DaemonSet. You can also observe the logs of OneAgent Operator.
Create the secret holding API and PaaS tokens for authentication to the Dynatrace Cluster.
The name of the secret is important in a later step when you configure the custom resource (.spec.tokens). In the following code-snippet the name is oneagent. Be sure to replace API_TOKEN and PAAS_TOKEN with the values explained in the prerequisites.
Adapt the values of the custom resource as indicated below.
If you want to revert an argument, you need to set it to empty instead of removing it from the custom resource.
Example:
args:
- "--set-proxy="
Parameter
Description
Default value
apiUrl
required For Dynatrace SaaS, where OneAgent can connect to the internet, replace the Dynatrace ENVIRONMENTID in https://ENVIRONMENTID.live.dynatrace.com/api. For Environment ActiveGates (SaaS or Managed), use the following to download the OneAgent, as well as to communicate OneAgent traffic through the ActiveGate: https://YourActiveGateIP or FQDN:9999/e/<ENVIRONMENTID>/api.
optional Name of the secret that holds the API and PaaS tokens from above.
Name of custom resource (.metadata.name) if unset
useImmutableImage
optional Set to true if you want to pull a OneAgent Docker image from your Dynatrace environment. Use this parameter together with the agentVersion parameter to control the version of OneAgent.
false
agentVersion
optional Set this value to the OneAgent version using semantic versioning (major.minor.patch). Example: 1.203.0
optional Environment variables for OneAgent container.
skipCertCheck
optional Disable certificate validation checks for installer download and API communication. Set to true if you want to skip any certification validation checks.
false
nodeSelector
optional Keep empty default value. If you want to roll out OneAgent to specific nodes only, provide the nodeSelectors here. Refer to Kubernetes docs for details.
tolerations
optional Keep default value to also roll out the OneAgent to primary nodes if possible. If you want to apply additional tolerations to OneAgent pods for tainted nodes, provide them here. Refer to Kubernetes docs for details.
image
optional Define the OneAgent image to be taken. Defaults to the publicly available OneAgent image on Docker Hub. In order to use the certified OneAgent image from Red Hat Container Catalog you need to set .spec.image to registry.connect.redhat.com/dynatrace/oneagent in the custom resource and provide image pull secrets as shown in the next step.
docker.io/dynatrace/oneagent:latest if unset
resources
optional Resource requests/limits for the OneAgent pods. These settings heavily depend on size of worker nodes and workloads. Please adjust to fit your needs.
optional Disable the Operator's auto-update feature for OneAgent pods.
false
enableIstio
optional Enable management of Istio service entries and virtual services for Dynatrace endpoints to allow for OneAgent monitoring egress traffic to your Dynatrace environment
false
trustedCAs
optional Adds the provided CA certficates to the Operator and the OneAgent; provide the name of the configmap which holds your PEM in a field called certs.
If not set, the default embedded certificates on the images will be used.
Configuration for Anthos, SUSE CaaS, GKE, IKS, and TKGI
For Anthos, SUSE CaaS, Google Kubernetes Engine, and VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition (formerly PKE), you must add the following additional parameters to the env section in the cr.yaml file:
env:
-name: ONEAGENT_ENABLE_VOLUME_STORAGE
value:"true"
env:
-name: ONEAGENT_ENABLE_VOLUME_STORAGE
value:"true"
-name: ONEAGENT_CONTAINER_STORAGE_PATH
value: /var/vcap/store
env:
-name: ONEAGENT_ENABLE_VOLUME_STORAGE
value:"true"
-name: ONEAGENT_CONTAINER_STORAGE_PATH
value: /opt
env:
-name: ONEAGENT_ENABLE_VOLUME_STORAGE
value:"true"
Create the custom resource.
kubectl apply -f cr.yaml
optional Configure proxy.
You can configure optional parameters like proxy settings in the cr.yaml file in order to
download the OneAgent installer
ensure the communication between the OneAgent and your Dynatrace environment
ensure the communication between the Dynatrace OneAgent Operator and the Dynatrace API.
There are two ways to provide the proxy, depending on whether or not your proxy uses credentials.
If you have a proxy that doesn't use credentials, enter your proxy URL directly in the value field for the proxy.
Example
apiVersion: dynatrace.com/v1alpha1
kind: OneAgent
metadata:
name: oneagent
namespace: dynatrace
spec:
apiUrl: https://environmentid.dynatrace.com/api
tolerations:
- effect: NoSchedule
key: node-role.kubernetes.io/master
operator: Exists
args: []
enableIstio: true
proxy:
value: http://mysuperproxy
If your proxy uses credentials
Create a secret with a field called proxy which holds your encrypted proxy URL with the credentials.
Example.
The Dynatrace OneAgent Operator acts on its separate namespace called dynatrace, which holds the operator deployment and all dependent objects like permissions, custom resources, and corresponding DaemonSets.
The OneAgent proxy setting is used by both the Operator and the OneAgent containers when communicating to the Dynatrace environment.
Configuration for Anthos, SUSE CaaS, GKE, IKS, and TKGI
For Anthos, SUSE CaaS, Google Kubernetes Engine, and VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition (formerly PKE), you must add the following additional parameters to the env section in the values.yaml file:
env:
-name: ONEAGENT_ENABLE_VOLUME_STORAGE
value:"true"
env:
-name: ONEAGENT_ENABLE_VOLUME_STORAGE
value:"true"
-name: ONEAGENT_CONTAINER_STORAGE_PATH
value: /var/vcap/store
env:
-name: ONEAGENT_ENABLE_VOLUME_STORAGE
value:"true"
-name: ONEAGENT_CONTAINER_STORAGE_PATH
value: /opt
optional Configure network zones.
You can configure network zones by setting the following argument:

Deploy an ActiveGate and connect your Kubernetes API to Dynatrace
Now that you have OneAgent running on your Kubernetes nodes, you're able to monitor those nodes, and the applications running in Kubernetes. The next step is to deploy an ActiveGate and connect your Kubernetes API to Dynatrace in order to get native Kubernetes metrics, like request limits, and differences in pods requested vs. running pods.
For further instructions see Deploy ActiveGate in Kubernetes as a StatefulSet.
Update OneAgent Operator with kubectl
OneAgent Operator (for Kubernetes version 1.9+) automatically takes care of the lifecycle of the deployed OneAgents, so you don't need to update OneAgent pods yourself.
Review the release notes of the Operator for any breaking changes on the custom resource.
If the custom resource of the new version is compatible with the already deployed version, you can simply set the OneAgent Operator image to the new tagged version. Be sure to replace vX.Y.Z with the new version in the following command:
kubectl -n dynatrace set image deployment \
dynatrace-oneagent-operator *=quay.io/dynatrace/\
dynatrace-oneagent-operator:vX.Y.Z
The image version of the OneAgent Operator is independent from the OneAgent version. To check the available versions for the Operator, see the OneAgent Operator releases.
To update OneAgent Operator, run the following command:
optional After deleting OneAgent Operator, the OneAgent binary remains on the node in an inactive state. To uninstall it completely, run the uninstall.sh script and delete logs and configuration files.
See Linux related information.
