How to deploy the PHP agent in a Kubernetes environment?
The PHP agent (only PHP agent version 7.0 and above) can be deployed in a Kubernetes environment using either of the following methods.
To avoid using the license key, Application Name, and host in the deployment files, you can also store them in a configmap.
Modifying the Dockerfile
Follow the steps given in this help page to:
- Install the agent and Data Exporter during the image build
- Start the Data Exporter using an Entry Point script
Alternatively, instead of using a Entry Point script to start the Data Exporter, you can modify the helm chart to start the Data Exporter.
lifecycle:
postStart:
exec:
command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "/opt/AppManagerDataExporter/bin/service.sh start"]
postStart:
exec:
command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "/opt/AppManagerDataExporter/bin/service.sh start"]
Without modifying the Dockerfile
- Download and install the agent and DataExporter in the postStart lifecycle hook without modifying the Dockerfile.
- Restart the web server and FastCGI Process Manager (FPM).
Example:
lifecycle:
postStart:
exec:
command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "wget -O InstallAgentPHP.sh https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/54974026/InstallAgentPHP.sh && sh InstallAgentPHP.sh -license.key \"licensekey\" -zpa.application_name \"PHP-Application\" && wget -O InstallDataExporter.sh https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/54974026/InstallDataExporter.sh && sh InstallDataExporter.sh -root -nsvc -license.key \"licensekey\" -apm.host \"https://HOST-NAME:SSL-PORT\" && pkill -o -USR2 php-fpm"]
exec:
command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "wget -O InstallAgentPHP.sh https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/54974026/InstallAgentPHP.sh && sh InstallAgentPHP.sh -license.key \"licensekey\" -zpa.application_name \"PHP-Application\" && wget -O InstallDataExporter.sh https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/54974026/InstallDataExporter.sh && sh InstallDataExporter.sh -root -nsvc -license.key \"licensekey\" -apm.host \"https://HOST-NAME:SSL-PORT\" && pkill -o -USR2 php-fpm"]
If you prefer to use values.yaml, configure as follows:
licensekey: <Applications Manager license key>
appname: <App name to be shown in APM>
apmhost: <http://hostname:port>
Use the following configuration in lifecycle hooks
lifecycle:
preStop:
exec:
command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "service zpdpsvc stop;"]
postStart:
exec:
command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "wget -O InstallAgentPHP.sh https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/54974026/InstallAgentPHP.sh && sh InstallAgentPHP.sh -license.key {{ .Values.appmanager.licensekey }}
-zpa.application_name {{ .Values.appmanager.appname }} && wget -O
InstallDataExporter.sh https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/54974026/InstallDataExporter.sh && sh InstallDataExporter.sh -root -nsvc -license.key {{ .Values.appmanager.licensekey }} -apm.host {{ .Values.appmanager.apmhost }} && pkill -o -USR2 php-fpm"]
