The ‘demo’ guide for sensu-go on Kubernetes is out-of-date.

  • There are numerous references to API objects that have been moved (so they won’t apply)
  • Among these objects, there are missing selectors for the deployment objects that won’t allow them to apply
  • Following the guide, I’m unable to use sensuctl to configure the user (access denied, even when using the default username/password)
  • Attempting to kubectl exec on the sensu-backend pod and run sensu-backend init results in a failure (the pod is unable to access etcd)

Please, for the love of all that is holy, update the guide and the kube objects it uses.

Hey,

Oh thank you! I was looking at GitHub - sensu/sensu-kube-demo: The Sensu Kubernetes monitoring demo repository. (specifically the sensu-go part) and it was not working well at all :frowning: But I’ll give the repo you linked a try.
