Downloading a Helm chart version for agent versions up to v1.5.x

You can use a Helm chart to deploy, upgrade, and remove the Logging agent from a Kubernetes cluster or an Openshift cluster.

Complete the following steps to download a Helm chart version for agent versions up to v1.5.x:

1. Login to IBM Cloud using the CLI.

   For detailed instructions about logging in using the IBM Cloud CLI, see ibmcloud login.

2. Check the Helm chart versions that are available. For more information, see Checking the available Helm chart versions.

3. Login to the Helm registry by running the helm registry login command:

   helm registry login -u iambearer -p $(ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens --output json | jq -r .iam_token | cut -d " " -f2) icr.io
   

   Windows Windows PowerShell users should use this command instead:

   helm registry login -u iambearer -p ((ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens --output json | ConvertFrom-Json).iam_token -replace 'Bearer ', '') icr.io
   

4. Run the following command to download a Helm chart:

   helm pull oci://icr.io/ibm/observe/logs-agent-helm --version CHART_VERSION
   

   A file named logs-agent-helm-{CHART_VERSION}.tgz is downloaded.

   For example, when you run helm pull oci://icr.io/ibm/observe/logs-agent-helm --version 1.5.0, the file logs-agent-helm-1.5.0.tgz is downloaded.

5. Run the following command to extract the chart files:

   tar -xvf logs-agent-helm-{CHART_VERSION}.tgz
