Set up EdgeConnect
EdgeConnect facilitates secure interactions between applications, workflows, and internal systems within a Kubernetes environment. This guide provides information on how to deploy and configure EdgeConnect using Dynatrace.
Create EdgeConnect
To create EdgeConnect, follow the instruction provided in Create a new EdgeConnect configuration.
Create OAuth credentials secret
-
Create a secret to hold your OAuth credentials. The values for the OAuth client ID and secret should be obtained from the EdgeConnect configuration created in Create EdgeConnect step.
apiVersion: v1kind: Secretmetadata:name: edgeconnect-oauthnamespace: dynatracedata:oauth-client-id: <base64 encoded client id>oauth-client-secret: <base64 encoded client secret> -
Apply the secret.
kubectl apply -f edgeconnect-oauth-secret.yaml
Configure EdgeConnect
-
Before applying the configuration, ensure you have all the necessary details. See the configuration fields in EdgeConnect parameters for Dynatrace Operarator.
-
Create the EdgeConnect custom resource file. Ensure the value for
metadata.namematches the name you used when creating the EdgeConnect configuration in step 1.apiVersion: dynatrace.com/v1alpha1kind: EdgeConnectmetadata:name: sample-edge-connect-namenamespace: dynatracespec:apiServer: "<environment-id>.apps.dynatrace.com"replicas: 1oauth:clientSecret: edgeconnect-oauthendpoint: https://sso.dynatrace.com/sso/oauth2/tokenresource: urn:dtenvironment:<tenant> -
Apply the EdgeConnect custom resource.
kubectl apply -f edgeconnect.yaml
