See how to deploy the Nobl9 agent using various methods.

When you add a new agent via UI or sloctl, Nobl9 automatically generates a Kubernetes configuration in YAML and a Docker command line for you.

Those configurations are available in the Integrations > Sources tab, in the respective agent configuration tabs under Details.

Deploy the agent in Kubernetes

If you have a running Kubernetes cluster, you can copy and paste the generated YAML into your Kubernetes configuration to deploy the Nobl9 agent in your cluster.

Be sure to swap in your own credentials (e.g., <API_TOKEN>, <CREDENTIALS_FILE>); instructions in the UI specify what credentials need to be passed, and these differ depending on the data source.

Deploy the agent in a Docker container

Docker command line is generated automatically for you to use to deploy the agent. The following is a generic example of what you can see in the UI:

Be sure to swap in your own credentials (e.g., <API_TOKEN>, <CREDENTIALS_FILE>); instructions in the UI specify what credentials need to be passed.

Check the agent connection in the UI

To verify that the agent has successfully connected to Nobl9, check for a valid timestamp in the Last Connection field in the UI.

Image 3: Agent connection status in the UI

The Connected status does not indicate that the agent is connected to the specified data source, only that it has successfully established a connection to the Nobl9 backend.

Great job! Go to the agent metrics module to learn more about agent's endpoints or jump to the Create your first SLO section.
