kube inject command reference

The kube inject command injects the Postman Insights Agent into a Kubernetes deployment and output the result on the command line into a file. See Examples.

Flags

• -h, --help - Help for inject.
• --host-allow strings - Allows only HTTP hosts matching regular expressions.
• --host-exclusions strings - Removes HTTP hosts matching regular expressions.
• --interfaces strings - List of network interfaces to listen on. Defaults to all interfaces on host.
• -f, --file string - Path to the Kubernetes YAML file to be injected. Expects to contain a valid deployment manifest. You can use - with the file name to read from standard input.
• --path-allow strings - Allows only HTTP paths matching regular expressions.
• --path-exclusions strings - Removes HTTP paths matching regular expressions.
• --rate-limit float - Number of requests per minute to capture.
• --repro-mode - Enabled Repro Mode to send request and response payloads to Postman.
• -o, --output string - Path to the output file. If not specified, the output prints to stdout.
• -s, --secret string[="true"] - Whether to generate a Kubernetes Secret. If set to "true", the agent adds the secret to the modified Kubernetes YAML file. Specify a path to write the secret to a separate file. If this is done, an output file must also be specified with --output. Default: "false".

Global flags

• --log-format string - Set to 'color', 'plain' or 'json' to control the log format.
• --project string - Your Postman Insights project ID.
• --proxy string - The domain name, IP address, or URL of an HTTP proxy server to use.
• --repro-mode - Enable Repro Mode.

Notes:

• The input file must be in YAML format and must contain at least one valid deployment manifest.

• If the --secret flag is set to a file path, the --output flag must also be set.

Examples

• Inject the set of deployment manifests found in resources.yml and print the result to standard out. Each injected deployment will send traffic from the endpoint to the Postman Insights Agent.

  postman-insights-agent kube inject --project projectId -f resources.yml
  

• Inject any deployment manifests found in resources.yml similar to the previous execution. Also generate and add any secrets required for the Insights Agent to run.

  postman-insights-agent kube inject -s --project projectId -f resources.yml
  

• Output injected resources and any secret manifests to separate files:

  postman-insights-agent kube inject -s="secret.yml" --project projectId -f in.yml -o out.yml
  

• Apply generated resources through pipe using kubectl:

  postman-insights-agent kube inject -s --project projectId -f in.yml | kubectl apply -f -
