Configuration Principles for the connectware-agent Helm Chart

The connectware-agent Helm chart follows a configuration principle, in which settings can be defined for all configured agents comfortably using the protocolMapperAgentDefaults section of your values.yaml file.

Example

protocolMapperAgentDefaults:
    connectwareHost: connectware.cybus
    controlPlaneBrokerEnabled: true
    mqtt:
        tls: true

All configuration specified inside this context is applied to all agents, unless you specifically override them on a per-agent basis.

In addition to protocolMapperAgentDefaults there is a section named protocolMapperAgents, which is a list of entries, each describing a single protocol-mapper agent. You can create an agent by simply setting its name value. Every other configuration parameter will be taken from protocolMapperAgentDefaults or default values.

To override protocolMapperAgentDefaults Helm values for an agent, simply set the same parameter to a different value inside the agents entry of the protocolMapperAgents context.

Example

protocolMapperAgentDefaults:
    connectwareHost: connectware.cybus
    controlPlaneBrokerEnabled: true
    mqtt:
        tls: true
protocolMapperAgents:
    - name: bender-robots
    - name: welder-robots
      mqtt:
          tls: false # unlike the other agents, this agent will not use TLS for MQTT
    - name: painting-robots
