If you installed the monitoring service using Helm, you can use Helm to enable it as well.

Prerequisites

Ensure the monitoring service is installed.

Enable

To enable the monitoring service component using Helm:

1. Update your Helm repository.

   assignment

   copy to clipboard

   helm repo update

2. Retrieve all custom values you used during install. Generate a YAML file, replacing the <namespace> with your namespace.

   assignment

   copy to clipboard

   helm get values --namespace <namespace> <release-name> -o yaml > values.yaml

3. Delete the post-install hook job.

   assignment

   copy to clipboard

   kubectl delete job pxcentral-post-install-hook --namespace <namespace>

4. Remove the pxcentral-prometheus-operator deployment. Enter the following kubectl delete deployment command, replacing the value of the <namespace> parameter to match your environment:

   assignment

   copy to clipboard

   kubectl -n <namespace> delete deployment pxcentral-prometheus-operator

5. Run the following helm upgrade command to enable the monitoring service, using the -f flag to pass the custom values.yaml file you generated above.

   assignment

   copy to clipboard

   helm upgrade <release-name> <repo-name>/px-central --namespace <namespace> -f values.yaml --set pxlicenseserver.enabled=true

   Replacing the following parameters:

   • <release-name>: the monitoring service release to enable
   • <repo-name>: the Portworx Enterprise repository name
   • <namespace>: the namespace matching your environment
