The Lightweight Kubernetes Agent

FlexNet Manager Suite ()

The topics in this chapter provide considerable detail about the Lightweight Kubernetes Inventory Agent:

• Details of its operation (see How the Lightweight Kubernetes Agent Works)
• How to obtain, and install (and if need be, uninstall) the Lightweight Kubernetes Inventory Agent (start from Downloading the Lightweight Kubernetes Agent, and see also following topics)
• All the options that can be configured for it (see Options for the Lightweight Kubernetes Agent)
• How to track and correctly license the software deployed within a container, using the container image inventory tool called imgtrack (see Collecting Inventory from Container Images). Note: imgtrack should be used in conjunction with the Lightweight Kubernetes Agent when the full Kubernetes Agent is not used.

This is followed by a separate chapter giving details of the inventory files that may be uploaded by either the Lightweight Kubernetes Inventory Agent or the Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent, since both these agents return the same inventory results.
