Prerequisites​

  • Botkube CLI installed according to the Getting Started guide
  • Access to Kubernetes cluster
  • Elasticsearch server

Install Botkube in Kubernetes cluster​

To deploy Botkube agent in your cluster, run:

export CLUSTER_NAME={cluster_name}
export ELASTICSEARCH_ADDRESS={elasticsearch_address}
export ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME={elasticsearch_username}
export ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD={elasticsearch_password}
export ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX_NAME={elasticsearch_index_name}

botkube install --version v1.2.0 \
--set communications.default-group.elasticsearch.enabled=true \
--set communications.default-group.elasticsearch.server=${ELASTICSEARCH_ADDRESS} \
--set communications.default-group.elasticsearch.username=${ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME} \
--set communications.default-group.elasticsearch.password=${ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD} \
--set communications.default-group.elasticsearch.indices.default.name=${ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX_NAME} \
--set settings.clusterName=${CLUSTER_NAME}

where:

  • ELASTICSEARCH_ADDRESS is an address on which Elasticsearch server is reachable e.g https://example.com:9243,
  • ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME is the username for authentication to Els server,
  • ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD is a password for the username to authenticate with Els server,
  • ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX_NAME (optional) is an index name on which Botkube events will be stored (default: botkube).

Configuration syntax is explained here. All possible installation parameters are documented here.
