question about install Holmesgpt in k8s

[wiluen]

can I directly install Holmesgpt in my k8s cluster with out Robusta, How to send prometheus alert to holmesgpt in the simplest way, just for testing purposes

hey @wiluen

The easiest way to test is with the Holmes CLI
you don't need to install anything in the cluster, just to be connected to it from the machine running the CLI
With it, you can ask holmes questions, or investigate prometheus alerts

If you want it as a pod in the cluster, the easiest way is to install it with Robusta.
Robusta is responsible for interacting with the rest api the Holmes pod exposes.
Without Robusta, you'll have the implement calling this API your self. (it's doable, bug unnecessary)
Installing Robusta is easy and fast
