enable automatic version updates for OneAgent/Activegate in a K8s

I don't know how to disable automatic version updates for OneAgent/Activegate in a Kubernetes environment.
I've read that I can disable this by specifying “autoUpdate: false” in 'dynakube.yaml' but I can't find that setting in the YAML file.
I also don't know how to set it to a specific version.

Hi @Nakazato_IIM,

I assume this is what you're looking for: Configure auto-update for Dynatrace Operator managed components
Adding/omitting the image field controls whether it will update or not.

Hi @Nakazato_IIM I leave you the options you can use in the dynaKube YAML, by default autoupdate is enabled. But if you specify a particular version it will be tied to that version. I've never tried live that options.

apiVersion: dynatrace.com/v1beta6 kind: DynaKube metadata: name: dynakube namespace: dynatrace spec: apiUrl: https://ENVIRONMENTID.live.dynatrace.com/api metadataEnrichment: enabled: true oneAgent: cloudNativeFullStack: tolerations: - effect: NoSchedule key: node-role.kubernetes.io/master operator: Exists - effect: NoSchedule key: node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane operator: Exists # Optional: Disable automatic restarts of OneAgent pods in case a new version is available # autoUpdate: true # Optional: The OneAgent version to be used. # Example: <major>.<minor>.<release>.<timestamp>, e.g. 1.200.0.20240101-000000 # # version: "" activeGate: capabilities: - routing - kubernetes-monitoring - dynatrace-api # Optional: Use a custom ActiveGate image # image: "" resources: requests: cpu: 200m memory: 6Gi limits: cpu: 1000m memory: 6Gi

Hi @Nakazato_IIM

The autoUpdate field existed in the older v1beta1 API version of the DynaKube custom resource. It has been deprecated and removed in the current v1beta6 or spec. If your dynakube.yaml uses v1beta6, that field simply doesn't exist anymore which is why you can't find it.

In the current v1beta6 API, there is no standalone autoUpdate: false flag. The only way to disable automatic updates is to pin a version using either the version field or the image field. Setting either one implicitly disables auto-update for that component.

My suggestion is use image when pulling from a private/mirrored registry. Use version when pulling from the default Dynatrace registry.

Thanks,

Sujit
