Install the Sanity dashboard for monitoring the microservices of the Component Pack for
HCL Connections™.
About this task
Sanity provides a dashboard where you can monitor the health of all applications running within
HCL Connections™ Component Pack. Sanity runs in its own Kubernetes pods and performs a periodic
check (every 30 seconds) of all running microservices. This is useful in checking the health of
individual microservices.
Procedure
-
Install the Sanity Helm chart by running the following command:
In the command, replace extractedFolder
with the location of
the directory where you extracted the Component Pack installation package. Replace the value of
image.repository
with the name of your Docker registry.
helm install \
--name=sanity extractedFolder/microservices_connections/hybridcloud/helmbuilds/sanity-0.1.8-20200321-160144.tgz \
--set \
image.repository=Docker_registry/connections,\
logLevel=info
Note: By default, deployment is done to the
connections
namespace. If you created a
namespace with a different name and would like to deploy there, the following extra value must be
included in the helm install command:
namespace=namespace
-
Install the Sanity Watcher Helm chart by running the following command:
In the command, replace extractedFolder
with the location of
the directory where you extracted the Component Pack installation package. Replace the value of
image.repository
with the name of your Docker registry.
helm install \
--name=sanity-watcher extractedFolder/microservices_connections/hybridcloud/helmbuilds/sanity-watcher-0.1.0-20200218-182137.tgz \
--set \
image.repository=Docker_registry/connections

Run the following command to check the status of all of the pods.
kubectl get pods -n connections
