Flexera Kubernetes Agent

[mkeesmaat]

On https://docs.flexera.com/flexeraone/EN/WhatsNew/FeatureList/RN-chg-K8sUpdates.htm fifth point stated:

You can now manually supply to the Flexera Kubernetes inventory agent a name for the cluster, giving you better control than automatic discovery of the cluster name (because Kubernetes does not have a standard way of storing the cluster name). 

I'm using krm-1.6.4 from  flexera-krm-operator-1.8.4.tar of "FlexNet Manager Suite Installer 2023 R2.zip2" with container image 1.6.9 (due fixes of vulnerabilities).

I start the flexera kubernetes agent with: 

./krm-1.6.4/install.sh --registry $(REGISTERY) --version $(FLEXERA_KRM_VERSION) --cluster-name $(ENVIRONMENT)

In the flexera-controller pod I see:

krm 2024-02-29T12:46:21.43928544Z     INFO -- start: version 1.6.9
krm 2024-02-29T12:46:23.200098097Z    INFO -- main: connecting
krm 2024-02-29T12:46:23.213086862Z WARNING -- clustername: resorting to using the clusterid

How to set manually the kubernetes cluster name?

To answer my own question:

Add clustername: <cluster> under de spec: definition in the yaml for the kubernetes agent monitor

apiVersion: agents.flexera.com/v1
kind: KRM
metadata:
  name: flexera
spec:
  clusterName: testing
  monitor:
    beaconURL: <obscured>
    storage:
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: 5Gi
        storageClassName: <obscured>
    configPatch:
      name: agent-config
    tlsFiles:
      secret:
        secretName: cacert
  logLevel: info
  image:
    registry: <obscured>

 Found it in : flexera/krm-1.6.4/config/crd/agents.flexera.com_krms.yaml
