Camel Dashboard Console

This operator can work standalone and you can use the data exposed in the CamelApp custom resource accordingly. However it has a great fit with the Camel Dashboard Console, which is a visual representation of the services exposed by the operator.

NOTE: the old version 0.1.0 uses the old App custom resource.

WARNING: If you installed the camel-dashboard-openshift-all helm chart you need to prefix any configuration in helm chart values by camel-dashboard-console.

Installing the Helm Chart

The following Helm parameters are required:

plugin.image: The location of the image containing the console plugin that was previously pushed

Additional parameters can be specified if desired. Consult the chart values file for the full set of supported parameters.

First, add the chart repository to the local helm configuration (you might have already done it if you installed the Camel Dashboard Operator):

1

$ helm repo add camel-dashboard https://camel-tooling.github.io/camel-dashboard/charts

Install Camel Dashboard using the helm install command:

1

helm upgrade -i camel-dashboard-console camel-dashboard/camel-dashboard-console --version 0.3.1 --namespace camel-dashboard --set plugin.image=quay.io/camel-tooling/camel-dashboard-console:0.3.1
