This is meant as one real-world example of setting up the SignalFx SmartAgent and is not intended to be a replacement for the official documentation. Please make sure that you have read the Kubernetes setup instructions available at https://github.com/signalfx/signalfx-agent/blob/master/docs/kubernetes-setup.md.
