Prometheus Agent

This chart deploys Prometheus in agent mode to scrape Kubernetes metrics and write them to a central Prometheus endpoint.

Secrets

To securely provide the remote write credentials, create a Kubernetes Secret named prometheus-remote-write-credentials in the target namespace.

kubectl create secret generic prometheus-remote-write-credentials \
    --from-literal=username="$remote_write_username" \
    --from-literal=password="$remote_write_password" \
    -n $namespace
