Kubernetes Reporter Helm Chart

k8s-reporter

A Helm chart for installing the Kosli K8S reporter as a cronjob. The chart allows you to create a Kubernetes cronjob and all its necessary RBAC to report running images to Kosli at a given cron schedule.

Configuration is done via reporterConfig.environments: a list of Kosli environments to report to. Each entry has a required name and optional namespace selectors. Use one entry for a single environment, or multiple entries to report to different environments with different selectors.

Breaking change in v2.0.0

Version 2.0.0 removes the previous single-environment mode (kosliEnvironmentName and the namespaces / namespacesRegex / excludeNamespaces / excludeNamespacesRegex flags). You now configure one or more environments only via reporterConfig.environments. To report a single environment, use a list with one entry.

Prerequisites

• A Kubernetes cluster (minimum supported version is v1.21)
• Helm v3.0+
• If you want to report artifacts from just one namespace, you need to have permissions to get and list pods in that namespace.
• If you want to report artifacts from multiple namespaces or entire cluster, you need to have cluster-wide permissions to get and list pods.

Installing the chart

To install this chart via the Helm chart repository:

1. Add the Kosli helm repo

helm repo add kosli https://charts.kosli.com/ && helm repo update

2. Create a secret for the Kosli API token

kubectl create secret generic kosli-api-token --from-literal=key=<your-api-key>

3. Install the helm chart

Configure reporterConfig.environments (required). Each entry has required name and optional namespaces, namespacesRegex, excludeNamespaces, excludeNamespacesRegex. Omit namespace fields for an entry to report the entire cluster to that environment.

One environment, entire cluster:

# values.yaml
reporterConfig:
  kosliOrg: <your-org>
  environments:
    - name: <your-env-name>

One environment, specific namespaces:

reporterConfig:
  kosliOrg: <your-org>
  environments:
    - name: <your-env-name>
      namespaces: [namespace1, namespace2]

Multiple environments with different selectors:

reporterConfig:
  kosliOrg: <your-org>
  environments:
    - name: prod-env
      namespaces: [prod-ns1, prod-ns2]
    - name: staging-env
      namespacesRegex: ["^staging-.*"]
    - name: infra-env
      excludeNamespaces: [prod-ns1, prod-ns2, default]

helm install kosli-reporter kosli/k8s-reporter -f values.yaml

Chart source can be found at https://github.com/kosli-dev/cli/tree/main/charts/k8s-reporter

See all available configuration options below.

Upgrading the chart

If upgrading from v1.x to v2.0.0, migrate your values to the environments list format (see above). Then:

helm upgrade kosli-reporter kosli/k8s-reporter -f values.yaml

Uninstalling chart

helm uninstall kosli-reporter

Configurations

Key	Type	Default	Description
cronSchedule	string	"*/5 * * * *"	the cron schedule at which the reporter is triggered to report to Kosli
fullnameOverride	string	""	overrides the fullname used for the created k8s resources. It has higher precedence than nameOverride
image.pullPolicy	string	"IfNotPresent"	the kosli reporter image pull policy
image.repository	string	"ghcr.io/kosli-dev/cli"	the kosli reporter image repository
image.tag	string	"v2.12.0"	the kosli reporter image tag, overrides the image tag whose default is the chart appVersion.
kosliApiToken.secretKey	string	"key"	the name of the key in the secret data which contains the Kosli API token
kosliApiToken.secretName	string	"kosli-api-token"	the name of the secret containing the kosli API token
nameOverride	string	""	overrides the name used for the created k8s resources. If fullnameOverride is provided, it has higher precedence than this one
podAnnotations	object	{}	any custom annotations to be added to the cronjob
podLabels	object	{}	custom labels to add to pods
reporterConfig.dryRun	bool	false	whether the dry run mode is enabled or not. In dry run mode, the reporter logs the reports to stdout and does not send them to kosli.
reporterConfig.environments	list	[]	List of Kosli environments to report to. Each entry has required ‘name’ and optional namespace selectors. Use one entry to report a single environment; use multiple entries to report to multiple environments with different selectors. Per entry: name (required), namespaces, namespacesRegex, excludeNamespaces, excludeNamespacesRegex (optional). Leave namespace fields unset for an entry to report the entire cluster to that environment.
reporterConfig.httpProxy	string	""	the http proxy url
reporterConfig.kosliOrg	string	""	the name of the Kosli org
reporterConfig.securityContext	object	{"allowPrivilegeEscalation":false,"runAsNonRoot":true,"runAsUser":1000}	the security context for the reporter cronjob Set to null or to disable security context entirely (not recommended) For OpenShift, you can omit runAsUser to let OpenShift assign the UID
reporterConfig.securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation	bool	false	whether to allow privilege escalation
reporterConfig.securityContext.runAsNonRoot	bool	true	whether to run as non root
reporterConfig.securityContext.runAsUser	int	1000	the user id to run as Omit this field for OpenShift environments to allow automatic UID assignment
resources.limits.cpu	string	"100m"	the cpu limit
resources.limits.memory	string	"256Mi"	the memory limit
resources.requests.memory	string	"64Mi"	the memory request
serviceAccount.annotations	object	{}	annotations to add to the service account
serviceAccount.create	bool	true	specifies whether a service account should be created
serviceAccount.name	string	""	the name of the service account to use. If not set and create is true, a name is generated using the fullname template
serviceAccount.permissionScope	string	"cluster"	specifies whether to create a cluster-wide permissions for the service account or namespace-scoped permissions. allowed values are: [cluster, namespace]
