Deploy on Ibm Cloud Kubernetes does not install oneagent

Hello All.

I'm deploying dynatrace in IBM Cloud VPC kubernetes following the steps outline in the documentation for full stack observability.
https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/installation-k8s-cloud-native-fs

I was expecting at the end of deployment to have oneagent installed in all kubernetes nodes like the documentation shows:
> kubectl get pods -n dynatrace
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
dynakube-activegate-0 1/1 Running 0 50s
dynakube-oneagent-b88rn 1/1 Running 0 50s
dynakube-oneagent-m5jm4 1/1 Running 0 50s
dynakube-oneagent-qhd9u 1/1 Running 0 50s
dynatrace-oneagent-csi-driver-qxfwx 4/4 Running 0 2m49s
dynatrace-oneagent-csi-driver-xk5c4 4/4 Running 0 2m49s
dynatrace-oneagent-csi-driver-mz6ch 4/4 Running 0 2m49s
dynatrace-operator-7dc8dc7d8c-wmh4z 1/1 Running 0 2m59s
dynatrace-webhook-7bb6957fb5-l8fsq 1/1 Running 0 2m59s
dynatrace-webhook-7bb6957fb5-rqnqk 1/1 Running 0 2m59s

But in my instalation the oneagent in not installed in the nodes as you can see:
xxxxxxx@cloudshell:~$ kubectl get pods -n dynatrace
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
cluster-1-activegate-0 1/1 Running 0 74m
dynatrace-oneagent-csi-driver-cdsc9 4/4 Running 0 78m

dynatrace-oneagent-csi-driver-zjn6k 4/4 Running 0 78m
dynatrace-operator-576c7f8774-l2lhf 1/1 Running 0 27s
dynatrace-webhook-7f898cf489-zzwcd 0/1 Running 0 27s
dynatrace-webhook-97465d54f-5lq9g 1/1 Running 0 78m
dynatrace-webhook-97465d54f-hgfb9 1/1 Running 0 78m

Does anyone has this problem in IBM Cloud or other Cloud platforms?

Thanks.

@joseafcampos Do you see the oneagent daemonset created in your environment?

kubectl get ds/dynatrace-oneagent --namespace=kube-system

Thanks for your reply.

I managed to solve the problem. I followed the new UI Kubernetes instalation, which has a option for IBM Cloud and it worked. I think the problem is the option --set "csidriver.kubeletPath=/var/data/kubelet" that was missing in the helm command:

helm install dynatrace-operator oci://public.ecr.aws/dynatrace/dynatrace-operator \ --set "csidriver.kubeletPath=/var/data/kubelet" \ --create-namespace \ --namespace dynatrace \ --atomic

The Dynatrace documentation and the old interface this option is not present.

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/installation-k8s-cloud-native-fs#helm

helm install dynatrace-operator oci://public.ecr.aws/dynatrace/dynatrace-operator \ --create-namespace \ --namespace dynatrace \ --atomic \

Now I can see Damonset:
xxxxxxxx@cloudshell:~$ kubectl get ds --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE NODE SELECTOR AGE
calico-system calico-node 3 3 3 3 3 kubernetes.io/os=linux 36m

kube-system nvidia-driver-installer 0 0 0 0 0 <none> 39m

Thank you.
