values.yaml holds the defaults. Layer an overlay from overlays/ with -f to pick a topology / store, and stack overlays/enterprise.yaml for Enterprise.

overlays/
  standalone.yaml   single all-in-one pod (local-store)
  aws.yaml          distributed on S3
  gcp.yaml          distributed on GCS
  azure.yaml        distributed on Azure Blob
  enterprise.yaml   adds prism; layer on top of a store overlay

Standalone (single pod, local-store)

For standalone, standalone.unified.persistence.staging.enabled=true creates a staging PVC; setting it to false uses emptyDir. With local-store, standalone.unified.persistence.data.enabled=true creates a data PVC; setting it to false uses emptyDir for the data directory. When local-store data is disabled, staging persistence must also be disabled; persisted staging metadata cannot be paired safely with ephemeral local data. With S3, GCS, or Azure Blob storage, no /parseable/data volume is created.

kubectl create namespace parseable

kubectl -n parseable create secret generic parseable-env-secret \
  --from-literal=addr=0.0.0.0:8000 \
  --from-literal=username=admin \
  --from-literal=password=admin

helm install parseable ./ -n parseable -f overlays/standalone.yaml

Upgrading an existing standalone installation

New installations are not affected. If standalone Parseable was installed with chart 3.0.2 or earlier, do not upgrade it directly to chart 3.1.0. Create a separate installation, migrate and verify the data, and then move traffic.

Distributed (querier + ingestors)

Create the namespace, then the object-store secret for your cloud (below). With distributed.ingestor.persistence.staging.enabled=true, each ingestor receives its own staging PVC; false uses emptyDir. Distributed mode does not support local-store; use S3, GCS, or Azure Blob Storage.

For Enterprise, distributed.querier.persistence.hotTier.enabled=true creates one hot-tier PVC per querier; false uses emptyDir. These storage switches are install-time choices. Changing either switch later requires recreating the affected StatefulSet because its volumeClaimTemplates are immutable.

kubectl create namespace parseable

AWS (S3)

kubectl -n parseable create secret generic parseable-env-secret \
  --from-literal=addr=0.0.0.0:8000 \
  --from-literal=username=admin --from-literal=password=admin \
  --from-literal=s3.url=<endpoint> \

helm install parseable ./ -n parseable -f overlays/aws.yaml

GCP (GCS)

kubectl -n parseable create secret generic parseable-env-secret \
  --from-literal=addr=0.0.0.0:8000 \
  --from-literal=username=admin --from-literal=password=admin \
  --from-literal=gcs.url=<url> --from-literal=gcs.bucket=<bucket>

helm install parseable ./ -n parseable -f overlays/azure.yaml

Enterprise (adds prism)

Stack overlays/enterprise.yaml on top of a store overlay, and create the license secret.

kubectl -n parseable create secret generic parseable-license \
  --from-file=parseable_license.json=<path>/parseable_license.json \
  --from-file=parseable_license.sig=<path>/parseable_license.sig

kubectl -n parseable create secret generic parseable-cluster-secret \
  --from-literal=cluster-secret="$(openssl rand -hex 8)"

helm install parseable ./ -n parseable \
  -f overlays/aws.yaml -f overlays/enterprise.yaml

Upgrade / Uninstall

helm upgrade parseable ./ -n parseable -f overlays/aws.yaml
helm uninstall parseable -n parseable
