Installing the Agent

We have our K8s cluster running services, let's deploy our agent daemonset. You can read more about this in our Kubernetes Documentation you can also view our getting started quickly blog for detailed information on logging best practices. 

kubectl create namespace scalyr

kubectl create secret generic scalyr-api-key --namespace=scalyr --from-literal=scalyr-api-key="<paste-key-here>">

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scalyr/scalyr-agent-2/release/k8s/scalyr-agent-2-configmap.yaml

(edit and save)

kubectl create -f scalyr-agent-2-configmap.yaml

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scalyr/scalyr-agent-2/release/k8s/no-kustomize/scalyr-service-account.yaml

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scalyr/scalyr-agent-2/release/k8s/no-kustomize/scalyr-agent-2.yaml

kubectl create clusterrolebinding cluster-admin-binding --namespace=scalyr --clusterrole cluster-admin --user <google_cloud_account>

Once this is done, you should have Scalyr pods with a status of running.
