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 Porit 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 need to enable Prometheus metrics in Connect.

  • To collect additional data from Posit Connect, a Connect administrator needs to be able to log in and generate an API token after the Chronicle Agent is installed.

Posit Workbench

  • To collect metrics from Posit Workbench, you need to enable Prometheus metrics in Workbench.

  • To collect additional data from Posit Workbench 2024.12.0 or later, a Workbench administrator must enable admin level tokens.

    After enabling admin level tokens and restarting Posit Workbench, you can generate an Admin API Token during the agent configuration steps after the Chronicle Agent is installed.

Continue to installation

After confirming the prerequisites above, continue to the installation instructions corresponding to the type of environment where you have installed your Posit products:
