Node Agent Helm Values

These values are specific to the node agent chart (edgedelta/edgedelta). For values shared across all charts, see Shared Helm Values.

helm upgrade edgedelta edgedelta/edgedelta -i \
  --set secretApiKey.value=<pipeline-id> \
  -n edgedelta --create-namespace

Deployment

See Installing as a Deployment.

Autoscaling

Requires deployment.kind=Deployment. DaemonSets do not support HPA.

Example — autoscaling deployment:

deployment:
  kind: Deployment
  autoscaling:
    enabled: true
    minReplicas: 1
    maxReplicas: 5
    targetForCPUUtilizationPercentage: 80
    behavior:
      scaleDown:
        stabilizationWindowSeconds: 300

Topology Spread Constraints

Example:

deployment:
  kind: Deployment
  topologySpreadConstraints:
    - maxSkew: 1
      topologyKey: topology.kubernetes.io/zone
      whenUnsatisfiable: ScheduleAnyway
      labelSelector:
        matchLabels:
          edgedelta/agent-type: processor

Compactor Agent

The compactor processes and compresses log data for downstream delivery.

The compactor uses the chart’s top-level image settings. There is no compactorProps.image — see Image.

Compactor Autoscaling

Rollup Agent

The rollup agent handles metric aggregation and rollup.

The rollup uses the chart’s top-level image settings. There is no rollUpProps.image — see Image.

Rollup Autoscaling

Aggregator Agent

Deploys an extra aggregator agent to collect and aggregate metrics from processor agents.

Service Exposure

Container Ports

Variable: ports (default: [])

Define additional container ports for incoming data. Use when the pipeline includes an input node (such as OTLP) that accepts external traffic.

Example:

ports:
  - name: otlp-grpc
    protocol: TCP
    port: 4317
  - name: otlp-http
    protocol: TCP
    port: 4318

Set exposeInHost: true on a port entry to bind directly to the node’s network interface via hostPort (DaemonSet only).

Push Service

Creates a Kubernetes Service (ed-data-supply-svc) that routes traffic to agent pods when ports are defined.

Example — LoadBalancer with NLB:

ports:
  - name: otlp-grpc
    protocol: TCP
    port: 4317

pushService:
  type: LoadBalancer
  annotations:
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-type: "nlb"
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: "true"

See Integrate Pipeline Types for a full deployment example.

Ingress

Configure a Kubernetes Ingress resource for the ports defined above. Requires an ingress controller.

Example:

ingress:
  enabled: true
  class: nginx
  hosts:
    - host: otlp.example.com
      paths:
        - path: /
          pathType: ImplementationSpecific
          port:
            number: 4317
  tls:
    - hosts:
        - otlp.example.com
      secretName: otlp-tls-secret

Persistence

The persistent cursor remembers the last read position in log files across agent restarts.

See Troubleshooting Persisting Cursor for configuration details.

Docker Container Properties

eBPF Tracer

Disabling eBPF sources can substantially reduce agent resource consumption. See Reducing Agent Resource Consumption.

Volume Mounts

Variable: volumeProps

Mount custom volumes into agent containers.

Example:

volumeProps:
  volumeMounts:
    - mountPath: /var/lib/kubelet
      name: varlibkubelet
      readOnly: true
  volumes:
    - hostPath:
        path: /var/lib/kubelet
        type: ""
      name: varlibkubelet

Target Allocator (Prometheus / OTEL)

Deploys the OpenTelemetry Target Allocator so Prometheus or kube-prom-stack can scrape Edge Delta agent metrics.

Example:

helm upgrade edgedelta edgedelta/edgedelta -i \
  --set secretApiKey.value=<pipeline-id> \
  --set targetAllocator.enabled=true \
  --set targetAllocator.replicas=2 \
  -n edgedelta --create-namespace

Coordinator Connection

Miscellaneous

HTTP Recorder (Deprecated)

Deprecation Notice: The HTTP Recorder is deprecated. Use HTTP/S Source or other source integrations instead.

Values NOT in this chart

The following values exist in other charts but are not available in the node agent chart:

• persistence.* — see Coordinator Values
