Ingress

Using Ingress facilitates access to the OpenNMS UI and Grafana. Ingress is not required, although it is a good thing to have. You could modify the Helm Chart to avoid Ingress altogether (or make it optional) and expose the WebUIs via LoadBalancer or NodePort services, but that won’t be covered here.

For example, when deploying the Helm Chart names acme (remember about the rules for the namespace) with a value of k8s.agalue.net for the domain, it would create an Ingress instance exposing the following resources via custom FQDNs:

If you get a certificate error with Chrome in a local cluster because you don’t have a valid certificate, see thisisunsafe - Bypassing chrome security warnings.

If you get a too many redirects error, try putting the path /opennms/login.jsp at the end of the OpenNMS UI URL to log in. You might be running into problem related to NMS-13901.

To customize behavior, you could pass custom annotations via ingress.annotations when deploying the Helm Chart.

Note that it is expected to have cert-manager deployed on your Kubernetes cluster, as that would be used to manage the certificates (configured via ingress.certManager.clusterIssuer).
