Agent Installation

Prerequisites

To install and run the Mission Control agent you need to have the following prerequisites:

• Kubernetes v1.27+ and Helm v3
• 1 - 2 CPU cores and 4GB of Memory
• Persistent Volumes with 10GB+ of storage or an external postgres database like RDS.

Create a new agent

a) Click on Settings → Agents in the sidebar.

b) Click on 

c) Enter an agent name - This can a cluster name, or an account name (for hub-spoke clusters).

Keep the agent name short and unique as it is used as a tag when displaying resources from this agent in the UI.

d) Click on Next

Install the agent

The wizard will create a new agent token with instructions for installation via Helm CLI or FluxCD manifests.
