Nova

Nova by Fairwinds adds the ability for the Insights engine to check the helm chart version of the current workload deployment. It scans the latest helm chart version available from the configured Helm repositories, and then sends a structural Insight alert if there is an issue. The alert details show an RCA and a solution to resolve the problem.

Enable or Disable Nova Insights

Edit the Service configuration:

Set the nova.enabled value to true
Set the helmRepositoryURLs to the URLs for the Helm repositories used by your workloads where you want Helm chart versions to be scanned.

Example:

YAML

nova:
  enabled: true
  helmRepositoryURLs:
