Newrelic infra agent on AKS Node pool

Question

I would like to install and configure newrelic infra agent on AKS node pool. I have explored links but couldn't find any helpful. Could anyone help to start working on this?

Answer 1

I have got my solution via deamonset and configmap with nodeinstaller. Below links really helped me but not through terraform as AKS won't support custom script to automate via terraform.(Hi can I have a custom script to be executed in AKS node group?)

here is the helm chart that deploys the New Relic Infrastructure agent as a Daemonset.
