Agents Chart

The Agents Chart deploys the AlertHawk Metrics Agent — a separate Helm chart that runs in your Kubernetes cluster, collects metrics from the cluster, and sends them to the AlertHawk Metrics API.

• Chart name: alerthawk-metrics-agent
• Helm repo: https://thiagoloureiro.github.io/AlertHawk.Chart/ (same as main AlertHawk chart)
• Artifact Hub: alerthawk (search for metrics-agent)

What it does

1. Collects Kubernetes metrics — Pods, deployments, services, and other resources in the cluster (optionally scoped by namespace).
2. Sends to Metrics API — Forwards metrics to the AlertHawk Metrics API service (must be running and reachable).
3. Cluster identification — Tags metrics with a cluster name for multi-cluster setups.
4. Configurable — Collection interval, namespaces to watch, optional log collection.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes cluster (1.19+)
• Helm 3.x
• AlertHawk Metrics API running (to receive metrics)
• ClickHouse (used by the Metrics API to store metrics — not installed by this chart)

helm repo update

# Create values with required env: CLUSTER_NAME, METRICS_API_URL, NAMESPACES_TO_WATCH
