Helm chart

To deploy the network mapper, do the following:

helm repo add otterize https://helm.otterize.com
helm repo update
helm install network-mapper otterize/network-mapper -n otterize-system --create-namespace

You can add the --wait flag for Helm to wait for deployment to complete and all pods to be Ready, or manually watch for all pods to be Ready using kubectl get pods -n otterize-system -w.

Common parameters

KeyDescriptionDefault
debugEnable debug logsfalse
allowGetAllResourcesGives get, list and watch permission to watch on all resources. This is used to resolve service names when pods have owners that are custom resources. When disabled, a limited set of permissions is used that only allows access to built-in Kubernetes resources that deploy Pods and Pods themselves - Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, ReplicaSets and Services. Resolving may not be able to complete if the owning resource is not one of those.true
