Kubecost helm chart
Helm chart for the Kubecost project, which is created to monitor and manage Kubernetes spend. Please contact [email protected] or visit kubecost.com for more info.
To install via helm 3, run the following commands:
helm upgrade --install kubecost --namespace kubecost --create-namespace \
--repo https://kubecost.github.io/cost-analyzer/ cost-analyzer \
--set kubecostToken="aGVsbUBrdWJlY29zdC5jb20=xm343yadf98"
While Helm is the recommended install path for Kubecost, these resources can alternatively be deployed with a single-file manifest using the following command:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubecost/cost-analyzer-helm-chart/develop/kubecost.yaml --namespace kubecost

Adjusting Log Output
The log output can be adjusted while deploying through Helm by using the LOG_LEVEL and/or LOG_FORMAT environment variables.
For example, to set the log level to trace the following flag can be added to the helm command:
--set 'kubecostModel.extraEnv[0].name=LOG_LEVEL,kubecostModel.extraEnv[0].value=trace'
LOG_FORMAT options:
JSON - A structured logging output: {"level":"info","time":"2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999Z07:00","message":"Starting cost-model (git commit \"1.91.0-rc.0\")"}
pretty - A nice human readable output: 2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999Z07:00 INF Starting cost-model (git commit "1.91.0-rc.0")
