Nope, the Operator talks directly to the Kubernetes API to start and watch the Prometheus instances. Where you see Helm used is to deploy the Operator itself, but that is completely optional and you can just use the Deployment + RBAC role from the docs.
If you didn't see a Prometheus cluster started, did you remember to make an instance of the custom resource within the namespace where the Operator is running? - Rob On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 at 2:15 AM Tim Blackwell <[email protected]> wrote: > I might be getting the wrong end of the stick but after reading > https://coreos.com/operators/prometheus/docs/latest/user-guides/getting-started.html > I was under the impression that it created and managed prometheus. > I have the operator running but it does not create prometheus. > > Having looked at the git repo, I see they have a helm directory, do I need > helm installed on my cluster for the operator to work? >
