Preparing your environment

Configure the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated (TKGI) adapter to discover Kubernetes clusters created using TKGI. The TKGI adapter instance queries the TKGI API every 5 minutes (default collection interval) to check for Kubernetes clusters deployed or deleted. For every discovered cluster, a new Kubernetes adapter instance is automatically created.

Note:

If you are using TKGI in your environment for Kubernetes, ensure that you configure the TKGI adapter and not the Kubernetes adapter.

Prerequisites

• Verify that you have installed VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for Kubernetes.

• Verify that the control plane of the Management Cluster is accessible and resolvable.
• Select either the cAdvisor or Prometheus monitoring option.

  • If you want to use cAdvisor, verify that the Kubernetes Clusters available in the TKGI environment have the cAdvisor DaemonSet configured on port 31194.
  • If you want to use Prometheus, ensure you have the server running and the endpoint is accessible with the credentials.
• You must have the pks.cluster.admin role assigned to you to use the LDAP credentials.

  • Obtain the necessary credentials to access the TKGI environment.
