Alaz Chart - Anteon eBPF Agent

Alaz is an open-source Anteon eBPF agent that can inspect and collect Kubernetes (K8s) service traffic without the need for code instrumentation, sidecars, or service restarts. This is possible due to its use of eBPF technology. Alaz can create a Service Map that helps identify golden signals and problems like high latencies, 5xx errors, zombie services, SQL queries. Additionally, it can gather system information and resources via the Prometheus Node Exporter, which is readily available on the agent.

To install the Alaz chart, first, you need to add the Anteon Helm repository:

helm repo add anteon https://getanteon.github.io/anteon-helm-charts/
helm repo update

Then, you can install the Alaz chart with the following command:

# Replace <MONITORING_ID> with your monitoring ID from the Anteon UI. Change XXXXX with your monitoring ID.
MONITORING_ID=XXXXX
# Set BACKEND_HOST with your Anteon Self-Hosted Endpoint. If your Anteon Self-Hosted endpoint is http://localhost:8014, then BACKEND_HOST=http://localhost:8014/api
BACKEND_HOST=XXXXX
helm repo add anteon https://getanteon.github.io/anteon-helm-charts/
helm repo update
kubectl create namespace anteon
helm upgrade --install --namespace anteon alaz anteon/alaz --set monitoringID=$MONITORING_ID --set backendHost=$BACKEND_HOST

For more installation methods, see Alaz (Anteon eBPF Agent).

Alaz Chart Configuration Parameters

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the Alaz chart and their default values.

Parameter Description Type Default
monitoringID CHANGE: Monitoring ID (required). You can get it from Anteon UI, Cluster Detail Page. string ""
backendHost Backend host URL to send the collected data. Default is Anteon Cloud. If you have Anteon Self-Hosted installed, you can give the backend URL. string https://api-alaz.getanteon.com:443
namespace Namespace to deploy the chart string anteon
logLevel Zero log level (0: trace, 1: debug, 2: info, 3: warn, 4: error, 5: fatal, 6: panic) int 1
resources.limits.cpu CPU limit string 1
resources.limits.memory Memory limit string 1Gi
resources.requests.memory Memory request string 400Mi
image Alaz Docker image string -
imagePullPolicy Image pull policy string IfNotPresent
containerPort Container port for debugging and profiling Alaz int 8181
podAnnotations Annotations to add to the pod object {}
metricsEnabled Enable prometheus node exporter metrics (cpu, memory, network, disk, etc.) bool true
tracingEnabled Enable tracing (Service Map) using eBPF bool true
logsEnabled Enable logging bool false
excludedNamespaces Namespaces to exclude from monitoring with regex format. For example: "^anteon.*" to exclude all namespaces starting with "anteon" string ""
criRuntimeEndpoint Custom CRI runtime endpoint (optional) string ""
sendAliveTCPConnections Send undetected protocol connections (unknown connections) bool false

You can override these default values by creating a values.yaml file and specifying your own values or using the --set flag during installation.
