Configuration

Remote Configuration

The KloudMate Agent supports remote configuration through a web-based YAML editor. This eliminates the need for SSH access to your target machines and ensures your configurations are properly synchronized and persisted across your infrastructure.

The agent watches for remote configuration changes (via a REST endpoint) and passes the updated configuration to the Collector when changes are detected.

Recommended Approach

Manually updating ConfigMaps for the DaemonSet or Deployment agents is not recommended, as these configurations may be overwritten by updates sent from KloudMate APIs. Use the KloudMate Agent Config Editor instead — a web-based YAML editor for centralized configuration management.

Feature Flags

You can control which telemetry signals the agent collects using feature flags:

eBPF Configuration

The eBPF Receiver is enabled through the agent's config.yaml. Below is a standard configuration:

metrics:
  features:
    - application          # HTTP, gRPC, SQL operation metrics (RED metrics)
    - application_span     # Trace spans for transactions
    - network              # L3/L4 Network flow metrics

discovery:
  services:
    - name: all-services
      namespace: default
      open_ports: '80, 443, 8080, 8443, 5432, 3306, 6379, 9092, 27017'

network:
  enable: true
  source: tc
  direction: both

attributes:
  kubernetes:
    enable: true

Database Monitoring Configuration

Enable heuristic SQL detection and tune caches for high-load environments:

ebpf:
  heuristic_sql_detect: true
  mysql_prepared_statements_cache_size: 1024
  postgres_prepared_statements_cache_size: 1024
