Zeebe Cluster Helm Chart

This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

Requirements

  • Helm >= 3.x +
  • Kubernetes >= 1.18+
  • Minimum cluster requirements include the following to run this chart with default settings. All of these settings are configurable.
    • Three Kubernetes nodes to respect the default "hard" affinity settings
    • 1GB of RAM for the JVM heap

Installing

  • Add the official Zeebe helm charts repo

    helm repo add zeebe https://helm.camunda.io
  • Install it

    helm install zb zeebe/zeebe-cluster-helm

Adding dynamic exporters to Zeebe Brokers

This chart supports the addition of Zeebe Exporters by using initContainer as shown in the following example:

extraInitContainers: |
  - name: init-exporters-hazelcast
    image: busybox:1.28
    command: ['/bin/sh', '-c']
    args: ['wget --no-check-certificate https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/zeebe/hazelcast/zeebe-hazelcast-exporter/0.8.0-alpha1/zeebe-hazelcast-exporter-0.8.0-alpha1-jar-with-dependencies.jar -O /exporters/zeebe-hazelcast-exporter.jar; ls -al']
    volumeMounts:
    - name: exporters
      mountPath: /exporters/
  - name: init-exporters-kafka
    image: busybox:1.28
    command: ['/bin/sh', '-c']
    args: ['wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/zeebe-io/zeebe-kafka-exporter/releases/download/1.1.0/zeebe-kafka-exporter-1.1.0-uber.jar -O /exporters/zeebe-kafka-exporter.jar; ls -al']
    volumeMounts:
    - name: exporters
      mountPath: /exporters/
env:
  ZEEBE_BROKER_EXPORTERS_HAZELCAST_JARPATH: exporters/zeebe-hazelcast-exporter.jar
  ZEEBE_BROKER_EXPORTERS_HAZELCAST_CLASSNAME: io.zeebe.hazelcast.exporter.HazelcastExporter
  ZEEBE_HAZELCAST_REMOTE_ADDRESS: "{{ .Release.Name }}-hazelcast"

This example is downloading the exporters Jar from an URL and adding the Jars to the exporters directory that will be scanned for jars and added to the zeebe broker classpath. Then with environment variables you can configure the exporter parameters.

Dependencies

This chart currently depends on the following charts:

These dependencies can be turned on or off and parameters can be overriden from these dependent charts by changing the values.yaml file. For example:

elasticsearch:
  enabled: true
  imageTag: <YOUR VERSION HERE>
kibana:
  enabled: false

Development

For development purpose you might want to deploy and test the charts without creating a new release. In order to do this you can run the following:

 helm install <RELEASENAME> charts/zeebe-cluster-helm/

If you see errors like:

Error: found in Chart.yaml, but missing in charts/ directory: elasticsearch, kibana, kube-prometheus-stack

Then you need to download the depenencies first. You can do this via:

$ helm dependency update charts/zeebe-cluster-helm/
