The 6fusion OpenShift Collector aggregates capacity and consumption metrics for the RedHat OpenShift container application platform. The collector will communicate with the OpenShift API to collect inventory and consumption metrics. Multiple OpenShift Collectors can be deployed to the same meter. The metrics collected will be sent to the meter for processing and aggregation.
Deploying from the Meter Dashboard
The OpenShift Collector requires an OpenShift environment to be deployed into. Currently, the 6fusion Meter only supports deploying plugins into Kubernetes environments. However, the meter dashboard provides an option to facilitate deploying the collector into an OpenShift environment: a Remote Installer option.
Steps to deploy
-
Fill in the required Infrastructure Name and OpenShift Domain fields
-
Click Remote Installer. This will trigger two events:
-
An OpenShift-compatible yaml file will be downloaded by your browser to your local file system
-
A dialog with deployment instructions will appear
-
-
Follow the instructions in the dialog.
|
Note
|
A link is provided near the bottom-left of the dialog, to simplify copying the script content. |
-
Once you are finished, click outside of the dialog to dismiss it.
Plugin Configuration

Important
|
If your 6fusion Meter is not deployed within your OpenShift cluster, you must ensure the 6fusion Meter API is accessible to your OpenShift environment’s network on port 443. This is necessary for the collector to communicate with the meter. |
OpenShift Settings
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Infrastructure Name |
A unique name to be applied to the OpenShift cluster. This will allow you to distinguish between applications deployed to different OpenShift environments. |
OpenShift Domain |
The domain of your OpenShift Dedicated Cluster. For example, if your OpenShift console is accessible at console.6fusion.openshift.com, you would enter 6fusion.openshift.com here. |
