Prerequisites

In order to use Chronicle in your organization, there are a few things you will need in advance:

Environment Access

  • The admin performing the installation requires privileges to install the agent alongside supported Posit professional products. For VM-based installations, this usually means sudo access to those machines, and for Kubernetes-based installations this usually means permission to modify the Helm deployments for that cluster.

  • The agents need to be able to make HTTP(S) connections to the server, so it must be visible to them on the network.

Posit Connect

To collect metrics from Posit Connect, you must

  • enable Prometheus metrics in Connect
  • log in to Connect with an administrator user and generate an API token with the “Administrator” role.

Posit Workbench

To collect metrics from Posit Workbench, you must

Optionally, additional data can be collected from Workbench via the Workbench API (available in 2024.12.0 and later). To collect this additional data from Posit Workbench,

  • a Workbench administrator must enable admin level tokens.
  • after enabling admin level tokens and restarting Posit Workbench, generate an Admin API Token.
