Updating PerfectScale Agent resources — Self-hosted 2.0

PerfectScale installation consists of two components:

• An agent
• kube-state-metrics.

Both components arrive with the defaults. However, one might want to update clusters that are either very small or extremely large (according to PerfectScale recommendations).

In order to update a cluster, a values.yaml customization file needs to be created, as shown in the example below.

Info

Make sure to replace the numbers from the example with your own.

values.yaml:

resources:
  requests:
    cpu: 30m
    memory: 50M
  limits:
    memory: 200M

kube-state-metrics:
  resources:
    requests:
      cpu: 50m
      memory: 50M
    limits:
      memory: 200

Apply changes:

helm repo update perfectscale

helm upgrade --install -n perfectscale \
      -f values.yaml \
      --set settings.clusterName=CLUSTER_NAME \
      perfectscale perfectscale/exporter
