In this guide, we'll learn how to deploy the Metis agent using Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes. This process is essential for setting up a robust monitoring system for your databases, particularly if you're using Postgres hosted on a local Kubernetes cluster.

Understanding the Metis Agent

The Metis agent is a crucial component of the Metis monitoring system. It connects to your database and extracts details of the database activity, providing you with valuable insights into your system's performance.

Preparing for Deployment

Before deploying the Metis agent, you'll need to provide some necessary information to configure the agent correctly. This includes setting up a user with the appropriate permissions to monitor the database and extract all the data.

Connection String Configuration

A critical part of the setup process involves providing a connection string. This string is used by the Metis agent to connect to the database and extract details of the database activity.

Choosing the Deployment Method

Metis offers two options for deployment: Docker or Helm. In this guide, we'll focus on the Helm method, which involves copying a Helm script and executing it in your shell screen.

Post-Deployment Steps

Once the Metis agent is deployed, it's time to verify the installation. This involves refreshing the Metis main page and checking for a new server. Once the server is added, metrics will start flowing in, and you'll be able to monitor your database activity in real-time.

In the following sections, we'll delve deeper into each of these steps, providing you with a comprehensive guide on deploying the Metis agent using Helm.
