Hi All,

I am trying to do helm install using Ansible Kubernetes packages with the Helm package manager modules.

If I use the below command in Ansible shell, the helm deployment is a success.

- name: install_nr_kubernetes_integration

shell: /usr/local/bin/helm upgrade --install newrelic newrelic/nri-bundle --set global.licenseKey={{ new_relic_key }} --set global.cluster={{ gcp_cluster }} --set infrastructure.enabled=true --set prometheus.enabled=true --set webhook.enabled=true --set ksm.enabled=true --set kubeEvents.enabled=true --set logging.enabled=true

If I try to use the Ansible Kubernetes packages with the Helm package manager modules, the helm deployment is not deployed as expected.

---

- name: install-new-relic-bundle

hosts: all

become: yes

gather_facts: false

vars_files:

- test-vars.yml

tasks:

- name: integrate-new-relic-and-prometheus-with-cluster

community.kubernetes.helm:

binary_path: "/usr/local/bin/helm"

release_namespace: default

name: newrelic

chart_ref: newrelic/nri-bundle

values:

global.cluster: "{{ gcp_cluster }}"

global.licenseKey: "{{ new_relic_key }}"

infrastructure.enabled: true

prometheus.enabled: true

As am not sure what is the issue and how to map / convert the plan helm install command to ansible kubernets/helm module, please help fix this issue.

Thanks,

Siva
