Kubernetes

Steps:

• Get an Authentication Token for your private probe, see here for steps
• Get Probe API Server URL from Private Probe docs
• Replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE in secret.yaml with your Authentication Token
• Replace PROBE_API_SERVER_URL in deployment.yaml with your API server URL
• Apply namespace.yaml to create the synthetic-monitoring namespace
• Apply secret.yaml to create the sm-agent-1 secret
• Apply deployment.yaml to deploy your agent

Here are these steps as commands:

kubectl apply -f namespace.yaml
kubectl apply -f secret.yaml
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

Now you should have the agent reporting as private probe.

Production Deployment

If you are running it in production, you should pin the image to an specific version instead of latest, see all tags on docker hub

The process exposes Prometheus-style metrics on an HTTP server running on port 4050 (/metrics endpoint). You can scrape and monitor your private probe in this way using either Prometheus or the Grafana Cloud Agent.
