The script will download the latest version of the extension and install\nit using the package manager.\n\nAfter installing, configure the extension by editing `/etc/steadybit/extension-http` and then restart the service.\n\n## Extension registration\n\nMake sure that the extension is registered with the agent. In most cases this is done automatically. Please refer to\nthe [documentation](https://docs.steadybit.com/install-and-configure/install-agent/extension-registration) for more\ninformation about extension registration and how to verify.\n\n## Proxy\n\nA proxy configuration is currently not supported.\n\n### Importing your own certificates\n\nYou may want to import your own certificates. Mount a volume with the certificates and reference it in `extraVolumeMounts` and `extraVolumes` in the helm chart.\n\nThis example uses a config map to store the `*.crt`-files in a configmap:\n\n```shell\nkubectl create configmap -n steadybit-agent http-self-signed-ca --from-file=./self-signed-ca.crt\n```\n\n\n```yaml\nextraVolumeMounts:\n\t- name: extra-certs\n\t\tmountPath: /etc/ssl/extra-certs\n\t\treadOnly: true\nextraVolumes:\n\t- name: extra-certs\n\t\tconfigMap:\n\t\t\tname: http-self-signed-ca\nextraEnv:\n\t- name: SSL_CERT_DIR\n\t\tvalue: /etc/ssl/extra-certs:/etc/ssl/certs\n```\n\n\n## Location Selection\nWhen multiple HTTP extensions are deployed in different subsystems (e.g., multiple Kubernetes clusters), it can be tricky to ensure that the HTTP check is performed from the right location when testing cluster-internal URLs.\nTo solve this, you can activate the location selection feature.\nOnce you do that, the HTTP extension discovers itself as a client execution location.\nWhen configuring the experiment, you can optionally define which extension's deployment should execute the HTTP check.\nAlso, the execution locations are part of Steadybit's environment concept, so you can assign permissions for execution locations.\n\n### Migration Guideline\nBefore activating the location selection feature, be sure to follow these steps:\n1. The installed agent version needs to be \u003e= 2.0.47, and - only for on-prem customers - the platform version needs to be \u003e=2.2.2\n2. Activate the location selection via environment or helm variable when deploying the latest extension version (see [configuration options](#configuration).\n3. Configure every environment that should be able to run HTTP checks by including the HTTP client location in the environment configuration.\n\t One option is to add the statement `or target via the query language.type=\"com.steadybit.extension_http.client-location\"` to your existing query.\n\t You can also filter the available execution locations down, e.g., via the clustername by using `(target.type=\"com.steadybit.extension_http.client-location\" and k8s.cluster-name=\"CLUSTER-NAME\")`\n\n## Version and Revision\n\nThe version and revision of the extension:\n- are printed during the startup of the extension\n- are added as a Docker label to the image\n- are available via the `version.txt`/`revision.txt` files in the root of the image\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsteadybit%2Fextension-http","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsteadybit%2Fextension-http","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsteadybit%2Fextension-http/lists"}
