[DOCS] Metrics Deployer Secrets to use own certificates
Last modified: 2016-09-29 22:17:42 EDT
Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/openshift-enterprise/version-3.1/installation-and-configuration/#metrics-deployer-secrets Section Number and Name: 16.5.1. Metrics Deployer Secrets Describe the issue: There is a mention of providing customer certs but there isn't any mention of what of certs are valid. What should be the CNAME for this certificates. Suggestions for improvement: Please mention how can we configure custom certs for enabling metrics. What all things should be taken care. Also, how can we update the url used by Heapster to connect to Hawkular Metrics. Additional information: http://post-office.corp.redhat.com/archives/openshift-sme/2015-December/msg00336.html
I believe this would be best if we outline better that we structure the docs in a fashion that recommends deploying metrics using internal certs and then using re-encrypting route to provide your own certs. Then we add this step at the bottom showing how to provide your custom certs to a secret and then redeploying the metrics template. Providing Your Own Certificates https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/latest/install_config/cluster_metrics.html#metrics-using-secrets-byo-certs In the 3.1+ docs we say what names the certs should have. At least 2 names need to be in the cert: hawkular-metrics HAWKULAR_METRICS_HOSTNAME
