User Story

In order to monitor our system more effectively, @GSA/data-gov-team wants to attempt to install the NR Infrastructure agent.

Acceptance Criteria

[ACs should be clearly demoable/verifiable whenever possible. Try specifying them using BDD.]

  • GIVEN [a contextual precondition]
    [AND optionally another precondition]
    WHEN [a triggering event] happens
    THEN [a verifiable outcome]
    [AND optionally another verifiable outcome]

Background

After speaking with NR support on 9.27.23, we determined that we had configured the NR agent at the app level but not at the container level. We have doubts as to whether this is possible due to the K8s cluster being abstracted away from us by cloud.gov, but we plan to follow the NR tutorial they provided and see what's possible.

Security Considerations (required)

Ensure that the agent is not exfiltrating information to sites other than NR to the best of our ability.

Sketch

  • Follow instructions on NR site (link)
  • Attempt to install without Cloud.gov support
  • Contact cloud.gov support if we can't do it by ourselves
