The Dynatrace Operator supports rollout and lifecycle management of various Dynatrace components in Kubernetes and OpenShift.

* OneAgent
* `classicFullStack` rolls out a OneAgent pod per node to monitor pods on it and the node itself
* `applicationMonitoring` is a webhook based injection mechanism for automatic app-only injection
* CSI Driver can be enabled to cache OneAgent downloads per node
* `hostMonitoring` is only monitoring the hosts (i.e. nodes) in the cluster without app-only injection
* CSI Driver is used to provide a writeable volume for the Oneagent as it's running in read-only mode
* `cloudNativeFullStack` is a combination of `applicationMonitoring` and `hostMonitoring`
* CSI Driver is used for both features
* ActiveGate
* `routing` routes OneAgent traffic through the ActiveGate
* `kubernetes-monitoring` allows monitoring of the Kubernetes API
* `metrics-ingest` routes enriched metrics through ActiveGate

For more information please have a look at [our DynaKube Custom Resource examples](assets/samples/dynakube) and
our [official help page](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/kubernetes-hub).

## Support lifecycle

As the Dynatrace Operator is provided by Dynatrace Incorporated, support is provided by the Dynatrace Support team, as described on the [support page](https://support.dynatrace.com/).
Github issues will also be considered on a case-by-case basis regardless of support contracts and commercial relationships with Dynatrace.

The [Dynatrace support lifecycle for Kubernetes and Openshift](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/support-model-k8s-ocp) can be found in the official technology support pages.

## Quick Start

The Dynatrace Operator acts on its separate namespace `dynatrace`. It holds the operator deployment and all dependent
objects like permissions, custom resources and corresponding StatefulSets.

### Installation

> For install instructions on Openshift, head to the
> [official help page](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/full-stack-dto-k8)

To create the namespace and apply the operator run the following commands

```sh
kubectl create namespace dynatrace
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-operator/releases/latest/download/kubernetes.yaml
```

If using `cloudNativeFullStack` or `applicationMonitoring` with CSI driver, the following command is required as well:

```sh
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-operator/releases/latest/download/kubernetes-csi.yaml
```

A secret holding tokens for authenticating to the Dynatrace cluster needs to be created upfront. Create access tokens of
type *Dynatrace API* and use its values in the following commands respectively. For
assistance please refer
to [Create user-generated access tokens](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/token#create-api-token).

The token scopes required by the Dynatrace Operator are documented on our [official help page](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/full-stack-dto-k8#tokens)

```sh
kubectl -n dynatrace create secret generic dynakube --from-literal="apiToken=DYNATRACE_API_TOKEN" --from-literal="dataIngestToken=DATA_INGEST_TOKEN"
```

#### Create `DynaKube` custom resource for ActiveGate and OneAgent rollout

The rollout of the Dynatrace components is governed by a custom resource of type `DynaKube`. This custom resource will
contain parameters for various Dynatrace capabilities (OneAgent deployment mode, ActiveGate capabilities, etc.)

> Note: `.spec.tokens` denotes the name of the secret holding access tokens.
>
> If not specified Dynatrace Operator searches for a secret called like the DynaKube custom resource `.metadata.name`.

The recommended approach is using classic Fullstack injection to roll out Dynatrace to your cluster, available as [classicFullStack sample](assets/samples/dynakube/v1beta2/classicFullStack.yaml).
In case you want to have adjustments please have a look at [our DynaKube Custom Resource examples](assets/samples/dynakube).

Save one of the sample configurations, change the API url to your environment and apply it to your cluster.

```sh
kubectl apply -f cr.yaml
```

For detailed instructions see
our [official help page](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/full-stack-dto-k8).

## Uninstall dynatrace-operator

> For instructions on how to uninstall the dynatrace-operator on Openshift,
> head to the [official help page](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/setup-and-configuration/setup-on-k8s/guides/operation/update-uninstall-operator#uninstall-dynatrace-operator)

Clean-up all Dynatrace Operator specific objects:

```sh
kubectl delete -f https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-operator/releases/latest/download/kubernetes.yaml
```

If the CSI driver was installed, the following command is required as well:

```sh
kubectl delete -f https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-operator/releases/latest/download/kubernetes-csi.yaml
```
