Enable Pure1 integration for upgrades in OCP GCP

This page covers enabling Pure1 integration for the following cases:

• You had a running Portworx cluster prior to Portworx 2.8.0, and you are now upgrading to 2.12.0 or later
• You installed Portworx 2.12.0, but did not enable Pure1 integration and want to do so now

Prerequisites

• Portworx Operator 1.10.0 or later
• A cluster running Portworx 2.12.0 or using an Operator-based installation
• Outbound access to the internet to allow connection to Pure1

Enable telemetry

note

Telemetry is not supported when using a custom proxy.

Portworx supports telemetry in the StorageCluster spec, but it's disabled by default. To enable the metrics collector and telemetry integration with Pure1, add the following section in your StorageCluster spec:

spec:
  monitoring:
    telemetry:
      enabled: true 

This adds telemetry components to Portworx and automatically creates the pure-telemetry-certs secret in the <px-namespace> namespace. You can also enable telemetry from Portworx Central via Advanced Settings on the Customize page.
