Controlling the Name of Kubernetes Objects for the connectware-agent Helm Chart

By default, agents created through the connectware-agent Helm chart will be controlled through Kubernetes objects that are prefixed with the name of your installation (called a “release” in Helm terms) and the name of the Helm chart. This is done to ensure non-conflicting Kubernetes object names.

If these prefixes are identical, they are only used once. This means, that by default, when following our recommendations, an agent named “bender-robots” would create a StatefulSet name “connectware-agent-connectware-agent-bender-robots”, which is shortened to “connectware-agent-bender-robots”.

There are two Helm values, that allow you to control these prefixes:

Value	Effect
nameOverride	Overrides the Helm chart name, which is the second half of the prefix
fullnameOverride	Overrides the full prefix (first and second part)

Example

Setting nameOverride to “cw-agent” for an installation named “agents”.

nameOverride: cw-agent protocolMapperAgents: - name: bender-robots

This will result in an agent StatefulSet named “agents-cw-agent-bender-robots”

Example

Setting fullnameOverride to “my-agents” for an installation named “connectware-agents”.

fullnameOverride: my-agents protocolMapperAgents: - name: bender-robots

This will result in an agent StatefulSet named “my-agents-bender-robots”

Example

Setting fullnameOverride to “” for an installation named “connectware-agents”.

fullnameOverride: "" protocolMapperAgents: - name: bender-robots

This will result in an agent StatefulSet named “bender-robots”
