Try It Out
In this example we will deploy Kubernetes Event Exporter on a Kubernetes cluster using the Minimus Kubernetes Event Exporter Advanced FIPS Helm chart. The exporter will capture and forward Kubernetes events for better observability and alerting.
Step 1: Start Cluster
If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions
Step 2: Create Namespace
Create a namespace:
kubectl create ns kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips
Step 3: Deploy the Helm Chart
Deploy the Minimus Helm chart:
helm install my-kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips oci://helm.mini.dev/kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips \
--version 3.6.3 \
-n kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips \
--wait
If you want to override the chart's defaults, go to the Values tab, save a copy locally with your changes. Deploy the chart with your overrides using -f values.yaml:
helm install my-kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips oci://helm.mini.dev/kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips \
--version 3.6.3 \
-f values.yaml \
-n kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips \
--wait
Step 4: Verify Kubernetes Event Exporter Advanced FIPS is Running
Confirm the chart deployed successfully and Kubernetes Event Exporter started:
kubectl get pods -n kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips
You should see output similar to:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
my-kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m
Step 5: Test Event Export
Verify that Kubernetes Event Exporter is capturing and forwarding cluster events by checking the pod logs:
kubectl logs -n kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips \
-l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubernetes-event-exporter \
--tail=20
You should see log output showing events being processed. The default configuration routes all events to stdout. You can customize the event routing by overriding kubernetes-event-exporter.config in your values file.
Step 6: Clean Up
Uninstall the chart and delete the namespace to remove all resources:
helm uninstall my-kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips -n kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips
kubectl delete namespace kubernetes-event-exporter-advanced-fips
