Event Agent Pre-Configuration

Perform the following pre-configuration tasks for Event Agent:

1. Ensure that the Kubernetes manifests for the application, including HPAs or scaled objects, are pushed to a Git Repository. Currently, GitHub is the supported platform.
2. Deploy the application using Argo CD.

Task for Configuration with Auto Detection

Label the secret created by Argo CD containing git repository credentials with agent.smart-scaler.io/secret-type:repository.

Tasks for Manual Configuration without Auto Detection

Generate a secret containing GitHub credentials in the controller namespace. This secret is used while creating the application configuration without auto detection.

The following code is an example of a secret containing GitHub credentials.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: git-access-secret
  namespace: smart-scaler
  labels:
    agent.smart-scaler.io/secret-type: repository
type: Opaque
data:
  password: <base64_encoded_password>
  username: <base64_encoded_username>

All set and you are ready to configure the Event Agent!
