Observo Manager Installation

Overview

Observo Manager is the central management platform for configuring and monitoring Observo Sites in your environment. It enables comprehensive data pipeline management, monitoring, and analytics through a unified interface.

Deployment Requirements

System Requirements

• Per node:

  • 4 vCPU

  • 16 GB Memory

  • 15GB Disk Volume

Dependencies

Certificate manager (cert-manager)

• Observo uses a certificate manager to manage SSL certificates for secure communication between the Manager and Site.

• If you do not have a certificate manager installed, Observo Manager will install cert-manager as a dependency.

• If you have cert-manager installed, modify the manager helm values to use the existing cert-manager.

Ingress

• Observo Manager relies on nginx ingress controller for routing traffic to the Observo Manager UI and API.

• We support use of custom ingress class via helm values if your environment uses a different ingress controller.

Prometheus Operator

• Observo Manager uses Prometheus Operator for monitoring and alerting.

• If you do not have Prometheus Operator installed, Observo Manager will install Prometheus Operator as a dependency.

• If you have Prometheus Operator installed, modify the manager helm values to disable deployment of Prometheus Operator.
