Retina Config

Overview​

To customize metrics and other options, modify the retina-config ConfigMap. Default settings for each component are specified in deploy/legacy/manifests/controller/helm/retina/values.yaml.

Agent Config​

  • enableTelemetry: Enables telemetry for the agent for managed AKS clusters. Requires buildinfo.ApplicationInsightsID to be set if enabled.
  • enablePodLevel: Enables gathering of advanced pod-level metrics, attaching pods' metadata to Retina's metrics.
  • remoteContext: Enables Retina to watch Pods on the cluster.
  • enableAnnotations: Enables gathering of metrics for annotated resources. Resources can be annotated with retina.sh=observe. Requires the operator and enableRetinaEndpoint to be enabled.
  • enabledPlugin: List of enabled plugins.
  • metricsInterval: Interval for gathering metrics (in seconds). (@deprecated, use metricsIntervalDuration instead)
  • metricsIntervalDuration: Interval for gathering metrics (in time.Duration).
  • bypassLookupIPOfInterest: If true, plugins like packetparser and dropreason will bypass IP lookup, generating an event for each packet regardless. enableAnnotations will not work if this is true.
  • dataAggregationLevel: Defines the level of data aggregation for Retina. See Data Aggregation for more details.

Operator Config​

  • installCRDs: Allows the operator to manage the installation of Retina-related CRDs.
  • enableTelemetry: Enables telemetry for the operator in managed AKS clusters. Requires buildinfo.ApplicationInsightsID to be set if enabled.
  • captureDebug: Toggles debug mode for captures. If true, the operator uses the image from the test container registry for the capture workload. Refer to pkg/capture/utils/capture_image.go for details on how the debug capture image version is selected.
  • captureJobNumLimit: Sets the maximum number of jobs that can be created for each Capture.
  • enableRetinaEndpoint: Allows the operator to monitor and update the cache with Pod metadata.
  • enableManagedStorageAccount: Enables the use of a managed storage account for storing artifacts.
